At the ordinary lIALF-YEARLY MEETING of the PROPRIE 'ORS, held on the 24th day of A u g ust, 1847, at the Exchange Hall, Nottingham, for the purpose of receiving a statement of the , pro- Ceedings of the Directors and t he Accounts of the Company, NI , ~F. 11 - .. Norton, Esq., in the chair, The following REPORT was read by the Secretary:—Since the last ordinary meeting of the Proprietors, your Directors have con tracted with Mr. Wythes for the formation of that portion of the line oetween Bottesford and Grantham, including the Gogterby-hill Tunnel, and the Canal Branch (about eig ;t miles), and the works are progressing to the satisfaction of your Directors. 'They have also been called upon by the Midland Company to fulfil the. agreement entered into for the joint construction of the four althea west of Nottingham to Bulwell, which will effect a large sav ing to this Company. Your Directors have not deemed it prudent to enter into any other tan:tracts, or to incur and other liabilities, in consequence of the mo hetary pressure, and also from an assurance given at the last ordi *ary meeting that no further call should be made before the pre. ent theeting, when your opinions might be consulted and directions take a. At the same time your Directors have no hesitation in de aler tug that the true interests of the Company will be ►est promoted by completing the line between Nottingham and Grantham at the earliest period; and they regret that by this delay they will be un able to avail themselves of the summer months for the formation of their works, which would have been greatly to the advantage of the Company. On the first application to Parliament for the construction of this railway, the Midland Company I% ere large shareholders, and being ether wise interested, It was not thought advisable to incur the ex- Penns s of making a separate station, wharfs, &c., at Nottingham, and thert fore me powers in the original Act were taken for that purpose ; bat, s that Company subsequently withdrew their connexion, your Direr :tors, under the sanction of the half-yearly meeting in February last, applied to Parliament to deviate the line, and by increasing Chair powers to secure an independent position. An the Company's trains would have to pass over the Lincoln line abeam two miles, the Midland Company had the power to charge after the rate of six miles. To be relieved from that heavy toll was antler important desideratum—and though the Company by the purchase of the Nottingham Canal had the best depot for the accommodation of the town of Nottingham, yet no independent ac cess was secured. Under these circumstances your Directors deemed it advisable to apply to Parliament to effect the above objects, and they coagratulate the SharcholLers in having succeeded upon terms treatly to the advantage of the Company. After the Bill had been intreduced into Parliament, the Midland Company met your Direc tors in a very liberal and friendly spirit, and after some negotiations, an agreement was entered into under the corporate seals of each Compasy, by which the Midland Company consented to repeal so mauch of the Liucola Act as enabled them to charge the six miles zate, and a clause to that effect has been introduced into their amended Act, by which this Company pay a mileage only. They lave also agreed to provide the necessary stations and other accom *lodation for the passeegers and traffic, both at Nottingham and Ambergate. the extent and terms to be arranged by a Director ap- Panted from each Company, and in case of difference, to be settled by an umpire. In consequence of this agreement your Directors only proceeded to obtain powers for the construction of the Branch to the Canal t'll:arf at Notti ng h am, w hi ch they have obtained, and over which Midland Company have power to run their trains, on payment of toll. The concessions and powers thus secured are of the utmost im portance and advantage to the Company. The most convenient stations and ample accommodation for passengers and merchandize will be provided, both at Nottingham and Ambergate, and the saving In the outlay of capital, as well as time and the convenience to the public will be greatly effected. As the traffic in coal, corn, cattle, and heavy goods, according to the estimates proved, will be very large, the advantage obtained by the possession of the Canal Wharf is of the first consideration, as it gives to this Company the best trading position in the town of Nottingham, which could not other- Wise have been secured, except at an tenor nous sacrifice of money. The Altura prosperity and almost vitality of the line were most severely attacked during the last session of Parliament, by the Great Northern and Eastern Counties Companies. The former projected a line front Gosbertoa on the Boston loop to Houghton Mill, north of Grantham ; and the latter projected a line from Spalding to Newark, each of which were parallel to the eastern portion of your line. and if either had been obtained, would have diverted a consi derable portion of the eastern traffic. The Great Northern and East Lincolnshire also introduced other Bills, the effect of which, if they bad not been defeated, would have been to destroy your proposed Station at Boston, and render the branch to the quay, at that place, Almost useless. The Great Northern else, by another Bill, to effect al deviation of their line near Grantham, made another attack upon your line at that place, which wcuid have been most prejudicial had tit been successful. In accordance, however, with their duties and the active vigilance your Directors have ever endeavoured to exer cise in protecting the interests of the Company, they offered to the w r o f g an Several Bills every legal opposition, and they are happy to say with as to make thojunctiotnehaettzG.rrcanotrihipa: the most complete success, having thrown out all the Bills except the last, which was so modified More advantageous, and, at the same Time,nmotr independent. Great Nor- Clauses have been inserted in that Act empowering dove- those _Wee to make a joint station, aid also empowering P° equitable toll. Ahern to use a portion of your line on payment These attempted projects are conclusive thatinatnhde capableopinion offf powerful Companies the district is important Loping a large traffic, an d by the success attending t h e exertions of li Your Directors ne part of that district has been infringed upon —all that the Legislature has granted has been preserved intact. lie thus defeating aggression, your Directors have not refused friend interests. Theyy alliances when they would cenduce to your are happ:v to say that the best understanding now exists between this Comeosty and the Eastern Counties. In fixing the s tation of their Wisbee'Ch and Spalding line at the latter place, they , have adopted your site , and an agreement has been entered into for the construction of s lett station at the joint expense of the two Comp..a biee, and the allia.ne-e has further been strengthened by arranging for an interchange of Weak, and running of trains, between Grantham and Spalding, and sp aiding and Wisbeach, the terms and details of Which are to be settleo by arbitration. This agreement will promote alike the facility and convenience of the public, and the interests of the Company, and may ultimately lead to a snore intimate union, and which agreement will be submitted to the Special General Meet ing en the 21st of September next, to consider the propriety of con firming the same. In conformity with the Act, four of the Directors, and ens of the Auditors retire, who are eligible for re-election. The Directors are happy to state that the differences which have arisen between a portion of the Shareholders and the Board have been amicably arranged, and that the Directors will be increased to the fall number of sixteen ; seven of whom are to be recommended by the Committees of the Shareholders. And for the election of three en that number, a Special General - meeting will be necessary, which Is fixed for Tuesday, the 21st of September next.

What dominion that the world ever saw, except the Roman -nnpire, which sprung up in that same Italy, and (Dade tlil‘ Danube solong its northern boundary, could boast of such " pomp and prodigality" of power as would be enjoyed by this new Austrian empire, with its sixty millions of inhabitants, and with a sea coast whose extreme ports would be Ragusa on the one side, and Genoa on the other; with Sicily and the whole 41lediterranean at its feet, and with the Alps as a perpetual frontier against the assaults of her too liberal western neighbours? If anything were want ing to the compactness of this new empire, which we may thank the firmness and foresight of Pius IX. for nipping in the bud, we might advert to the cantons of the SJnderbund, as certain in such an event to be appropriated, as a comfortable addition to the Alpine frontier. To this solution the question was approach ing ; and nothing puts in so stror g a light V-e mis fortune of the French people, and the infatuation of their rulers, as the fact that so long as they dared the latter took every means in their power to bring it to pass, and to discourage the struggles which Pius IX. was instinctively impelled to, for the liberties not of his own country alone, but of Europe. With or without a Pius IX., Italy could not have remained in the anomalous position in which her internal disunion and the pusillanimity of her no ninal rulers had kept her so long. Had she not fortunately found a man with genius and resolution adequate to guide her in her new career, she might have madly and prematurely risen against the tyranny of Austria;_ and had she failed, and been crushed once more, Austria would have been placed in a position effectively to consolidate an em pire of the population and power which we have indi• cated above. It must be, indeed, a fundamental weakness and tameness of character which the en couragements of such a position would not devolop into an overwhelming and aggressive strength. And yet this mighty peril, the most sagacious sovereign in Europe, and that statesman who was believed to have most deeply fathomed the principles and appreciated the lessons of history, were content, for the sake of their own paltry personal schemes, not only to counteract, but consciously and deliberately to encourage. Compressing together the various con clusions to which the above reflections and others of a kindred nature give rise, we may regard it as beyond controversy that the best guarantee for the balance of power in Europe, and the main principle of a sound diplomacy, will henceforth be—to keep the several nations of Italy as much as possible a homogeneous united people, and to prevent their being made, either in the hands of their own rulers, or in those of foreign intriguers, an instrument of aggression or empire. _ _ . ADVERTISER.--It is always matter of sterling interest for creditors to observe and listen to the plans and proposals of a deeply involved debtor, whereby he endeavours to secure, at leas, an approach to an honest and honourable settlement of his obliga tions. It is much in the same spirit (though its ardour of expectation may be somewhat damped by the failure of previous arrangements), that the Eng lish holders of Spanish Bonds regard the schemesjust propounded at Madrid by the Minister of Finance, relative to the debt of that nation. Great and per severing efforts have long been made to obtain some satisfactory recognition of the heavy money-debt due from Spain, to the interests in this country in par ticular. Those efforts have, however, gene• rally been not only fruitless, but hopeless, such were the difficulties and impediments that seemed to lie in the way of any settlement of the just and peculiarly strong claims of the foreign =editors of Spain. Still, latterly, there have arisen certain grateful indications of some scheme being in a forthcoming state ; and at length some royal de crees have been issued, which afford ground for at least a slight anticipation of approaching improve ment in the condition of the long despairing and oppressed bondholders. It will be seen that we are cautious in our manner of expressing the nature of the hopes that may be justified by these official do cuments. We are so, because it is too late in the day to place entire reliance on the accomplishment of all that is thus promisA ; and it is far better to mode rate the extent of the anticipations aroused by such a cause, than afterwards to have to lament the bitter dikappointment of sanguine and confiding expecta tions. Certainly, M. le Ministre de Finances, Jose de Salamanca, commences the preamble to the first decree with an assertion that it is truly delightful to hopes proceeds from the heart as well as the pen of the writer. It is a recognised axiom (he observes) that credit constitutes the greatest element in the strength and power of modern nations. It is, there fore, devoutly to be wished that, by adopting such an axiom, and by pursuing an entirely new and dif ferent course in its financial policy, Spain may rapidly restore to herself the valuable blessing— Credit—and thereby secure what Don Jose de Sala manca so properly estimates as the greatest element in . the power of modern nations. The Eng ghsh creditors of Spain will, asiuredly, not grudge her the utmost amount of power and influence she may obtain from such a source. We can easily imagine that they will fervently pray that she may become a very Colossus in might—a Peninsular fiercules in vigour—a true Atlas in bearing and sustaining qualities. Certainly the more " interest " she devotes to England, the more will she become a sure and proper subject of interest, not only to the bondholders, but to the whole people of this country. But, to return to the important documents above mentioned. The first Royal Decree was " given at the Palace, and signed by the Queen's hand, on the 24th September, 1847;" and its purport may be thus briefly described. The produce of all the national property, of the Almaden, Almadenejos, and other quicksilver mines of the kingdom, and " the excess of all the coffers beyond the seas," are to be " applied to the general direction of the public debt, in order to devote them to the payment of the - interest on the Three per Cent. internal and external debt, conform ably to the provisions of the fifty-first article of the Royal Organic Decree of the llth June last." The directing Junta of the Public Debt is to draw up a projected contract with the San Fernando Bank, " whereby that establishment shall engage for the period of ten years to keep at the disposal of the direction of the public debt, on the 30th June and 31st December of each of those years, the amount of the half-year's interest, conformably to the budget approved of by the Cortes." The decree ' of which the above statement gives the leading pro visions appeared in the Madrid Gazette of the 26th ult: On the following day the same official organ contained two more financial decrees, the first dated Sept. 23, and the second Sept. 25. The former re peals "the suspension of the selling of property be longing to the brotherhoods, hermitages, and chapels, ordered by the royal decree of the 26th July, 1844." The selling of the dues is to take place after Ist January, 1848 ; but they may meanwhile be redeemed by the owners of the property charged with the said dues paying a sum equal to the capital in Three per Cent. titles. The second decree authorises the sale of the property called proprios (excepting some parts of it), and sets forth the proportion of the proceeds that is to be allotted to the redemption of the public debt. We have directed this marked attention to the question, because it is one in which a largo class in this country is somewhat deeply interested; and, also, because the steps en the part of the Spanish Government which have just been described, afford some ground for believing that earnest and honour able efforts are really about to be made to discharge the just obligations incurred by Spain towards her foreign as well as domestic creditors . It i s gratifying, likewise, to observe the improving prospects of that country, as set forth i n the preamble to the first decree. The Minister therein states that the effects of peace have not been fruitless, and that the Trea sury is daily discharging its obligations as the collec tion of the taxes becomes easier. That he will soon be able to submit " a project for the general regula tion of the public debt, which will consolidate estab lished rights, satisfy just hopes, dispel apprehensions calculated to distrust the expectation of security, and res tore the confidence on which the credit of the State's paper is founded." These statements sound well ; and we trust, equally for the sake of the bond holders and of Spain herself, that the anticipation therein held forth may be fully and faithfully realised. Locke has defined credit as "nothing but the expec tation of money within a limited time." If Don Jose de Salamanca wish es t o restore to Spain her credit among nations, let him make every effort to secure that "expectation of money (so long due toh England's er) within a limited time ' may not be dis• appointed. BOOKS FOlt THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—A parcel of books, intended for deposit in the British Museum, has arrived by one of the steamers from Havre, and the Lords of the Treasury have given directions for the de livery of the package duty free for that purpose. " Come down this instant !" said the boatswain to a naisobievous Son of Erin ; " come down, I say, and I'll alve you a good dozen, you rascal !" " Troth, sir, an' I Wo4lcm't pome dont if rive me two dozen." SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 6.—By the arrival of the packet yesterday we are put in possession of inte resting details of the movements of Sir Charles Napier's squadron : September 14.—At 3 P.M. the Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Ryder, parted ccmpany ;and proceeded with dispatches for England, taking letters from the squadron then off Cape Itoco, ample time being given to write. At sunset exercised reefing topsails and courses by the watch only. The Stromboli steam sloop was ordered to get her steam up in case of being wanted during the night, it being a dead calm, and the ships quite close enough to each other. " 15th.—Signal made to man and arm boats.' At 11 A.M. the boats asseinlded alongside the flag-ship, and commenced a brisk fire from guns and musketry, which was kept up with much spirit until 1 P.M., when the boats returned to their respective ships. The paddle-box boats in this manoeuvre were most conspicuous, owing to their build and their buoyancy on the water. It was a perfect calm, with considerable swell from the northward, the ships rolling consider ably ; the boats were often out of sight from the swell, and, being extended over a considerable space, presented a highly interesting and animating appearance; each launch, pinnace, barge, and cutter, being commanded by a lieutenant, and each being provided with an ossistant surgeon as in actual warfare. All surrounded the St. Vincent, and commenced a formal attack upon her, firing great guns and small arms, which the thred-decker used in repelling the attack. This was a fine spectacle especially when viewed from the other ships. When the attack was over, the boats proceeded against an imaginary enemy. First the launches ad s anted to action, firing shot ; after a short time, these boats being supposed to be disabled, the pinnaces ad vanced to keep up the action and to cover the retreat of the launches; they in their turn were succeeded by the barges, and so on ; the exhibition terminated by a general volley of musketry, the boats returing to their respective ships about 1 P.M. At sunset ex ercised reefing topsails and courses as usual ; mode rate breeze from N.N.E., tacked and wore during the night as required by night signals. " 16th.—At 9 30 A.M. the signal was made for the Canopus, Queen, and Vengeance, to try their rate of sailing. At 10 A.M. the trial commenced, the ships close hauled, under courses, single-reefed topsails, topgallant sails, jib, and spanker, as much sail as they could carry to a fresh breeze from the N.N.E. At 10 45 A.M. their inclination, as per signal, was— the Vengeance, 7 deg.; the Queen, 9 deg.; the Ca nopus, 81- deg. At eleven o'clock they tacked, Canopus about four cables ahead of the Queen, and the Queen a mile and a half ahead of the Vengeance ; from this time until one P.M. the ships continued on nearly the ame bearings from each other; but both the Canopus and the Queen weathered very considerably on the Vengeance. At two o'clock the trial ended. The Canopus had the advantage over the Queen by half a mile; the Queen over the Vengeance three and a half miles, to windward. The opinion of the squa dron was asked upon the trial by signal, and given in favour of the Canopus. The squadron was ex ercised in forming line of battle in single and double columns, and inverted order, &c.; at sunset reefed courses, double- reefed the topsail; and stood off under easy sail. " 17th.—Gloomy hazy weather, fresh breezes from the N.N.E. ; squadron exercised tacking and wear ing, together and in succession, forming order of &c. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain hall, signalled making 18 inches of water in 24 hours.' The Vengeance shifted her foretopsail- yard ; at sun set exercised reefing topsails and courses; sent down topgallant yards and struck topgallant mast ; stood ofi the land under easy sail. _ _ " 18th.—At nine A.M. the signal was made to shift main-topsail yard.' In this manmuvre the St. Vincent was 74 minutes, the Canopus, 84 minutes; Queen, 115 minutes ; and the Vengeance, 117 minutes, from the signal of ' lower away' until the topsail was set with two reels in it. At ten, the steamers, being wider double-reefed topsails, fore course, jib, and driver, close hauled, their incli nation by signal was, Odin 6 deg., Avenger 7 deg., Sidon 8 deg., Dragon 9 deg., Stromboli 9 deg. : they were then signaled to 'mice more sail. At this time the Dragon was 11 miles on the Sidon's lee b. am. At 1 30 P.M. she was observed to cross the Sidon's bows ; and at 4 P.M. she wis as much to windward of the Sidon as she previou3ly had been to leeward. At 3 P.M., under all sail that they could carry on a wind, their inclination was per signal— Stromboli, 8 deg. ; O.lin, 9 deg.; Dragon and Avenger, 11 deg.; Sidon, 12 deg. At this inclination they were ordered to fire four rounds, which was done by the Sidon, Odin, and Dragon. The Avenger and Strom boli did not fire. At 10 minutes past 5 signal was made ' hands' shift topsails.' From lower away' until fresh sails were set, double reefed, the Queen was 15 minutes ; Canopus, 26 ; St. Vincent, 32 ; Vengeance, 46; with the steamers it was optional. The flag-ship signaled well done, Queen and Strom boli.' Afterwards the Canopus shipped her maintop. sail yard. At 730 P.M. squadron tacked in succes sion and stood off, Cape Roco Light E. 1 S. six or seven miles. The Canopus, instead of tacking, wore ; consequently she and the Queen were wide of their station when they came to the wind on the other tack. 19th—At 6 30 A.M. tacked in succession and stood in for the lßnd ; the steamers kept their stations well during the night. At 10 30 the steamers were signaled to make more sail; when under all the sail they could carry, the Sidon and Dragon, with maintopgallant:sail set, their inclination, as given by signal, was—Strom boli 6 deg. (she had steam as well as sail) ; all the others 9 deg. Signal was then made to know if they could go into Lisbon under sail only, which was answered in the affirmative. At noon signal was made to know if the masters of the respective ships and vessels were pilots for the Tagus. Being answered in the affirmative, the St. Vincent bore away for the south channel, followed by the Vengeance, Queen, and Canopus, the steamers standing in for the north channel ; the Vengeance was observed to round too and allow the Queen to pass and follow the St. Vincent, as per signal to that effect, Canopus following Vengeance. The anchorage signal was given for the St. Vincent, Queen, and Vengeance to anchor in a line eastward of the Cale donia, the Canopus westward of her. At 4.30 the squadron were all anchored abreast of the packet stairs, the steamers in a line in shore of the line of battle ships. The Admiral signaled that those men who had nct had leave were to have it. Foreign men of war anchored here—the French frigate IpLegimie (gunnery ship), carrying a commodore, and two steamers ; a Spanish corvette ; the Portuguese flag ship, frigate, and two corvettes. " 20th.—The Canopus was ordered to shift her berth as denoted, viz., due west of the Caledonia, and the Queen to shift further towards the St. Vincent. It appears that the cause of the Dragon's leaking so much was from the defective fitting of her cocks and valves - . The Dragon and Sidon were decidedly the best sailers amongst the steamers, and latterly the Dragon had the best of it. " 21st.—Sir Charles inspected the Caledonia to :lay and expressed himself much pleased at the manner in which her excercise had been performed. " 22d and 23d.—Quietly at anchor. The packet from England arrived to-day (23d). " 24th.—To-day being the anniversary of the death of Dorn Pedro, all the ships and vessels in the Tagus—English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese—. kept their ensigns half-mast,the Portuguese firing minute guns from 8 A M. until .sunset. " 25th and 26. 7 1110 movements. gc 27th.—The Admiral inspected the Queen. We understand he did not express himself particularly pleased with her gunnery, &c., but we do not know for certain that this report is correct.

Mr. Hampton, the celebrated aerona4 - ... whose name will ever be remembered in matters of aerosta tion, from his three descents, s ome f ew years s i nce, add; his parachute, particularly by one from Chelten ham, on the 3d of October, 1838, when he made a triumphant descent from an altitude of two miles in 10 minutes and 12 seconds, at which time the balloon reached the earth before the parachute, made a splendid ascent from the Vauxhall Gardens, Manchester, on Monday last, in the presence of several thousand persons. The following is Mr. Hampton's account of nis aerial voyage : " From the situation of the gardens being incon venient for inflating, astthe gas had to be forced down hill, and as I had been informed by the proprietor of the gardens, previous to my coming to Manchester, that the main was twelve inches, which I found only to be three inches, caused me great difficulty in in.. fluting. From such cause, and the anxiety of the managers of the gas works to render me every assist ance in the business, I was compelled to commence the inflating the day before my ascent, at eight o'clock in the morning, and continued during the night and the two days, until the ascent, and, after all exer tions, could not complete the inflation as I had Aished, and in consequence, I was obliged to decline the offer of three gentlemen who had proposed to ac company me. Indeed, so slight was the ascending power, that I was obliged to dispe nse w ith th e grapne l I usually take, and only have a small one no larger than my hand, which, had not the day been calm, would, of course, been attended with danger. After placing only four bags of ballast in my car, I then. found I had sufficient power to ascend front the gardens, and gave ord ers t o remove the balloon windward of the place where I had been filling, so ea to clear the trees. I gave the signal to the two gen tlemen who had hold of the car to let go, when she immediately rose slow and steadily. After leaving the gardens, finding my ascending power very slight, I was obliged to throw out two bags of ballast, when she rose more rapidly, and the wind being from north-east , she took a south- west direction over the town. I then got into another current, and as she still ascended, I passed through a layer of dense clouds, and lost sight of the earth altogether. For some minutes I remained in such clouds, scarcely able to distinguish the ropes round the car. At last a most beautiful light sur rounded me, which indicated I was still rising, and in a few seconds more rose above the clouds, which presented one of the grandest sights possible to behold. Beneath the car was an appearance of one immense forest of snow, layer o ver l ayer, which appeared as if I c ou ld have stepped out of the car, and walked on the same, and the car appeared to drag on them. Af ter v i ew i ng this beautFul field of snow,. I then looked it my compass t ehi what direction I was going, +red by a small feather fixed by a thread to the car perceived that the balloon had changed her comae And was going south south- west. Having passed through three layers of clouds, the upper one ap peared as if it bid divided the balloon, as by lookir tip I could perceive the upper and lower parts of. s balloon free, end the zone, being surrounded byi cloud, appearing like gauze. So beautiful and stil was the atmosphere that I remained for acme seconds Here was one of the grandest sights aeronauts so often witness, if they ascend high enough, that it would take a painter to depict anti a poet to describe. On my right were layers of clouds, one above the other like large blocks of granite glittering in the full ray of the setting sun, and appeared to form a Gothi arch sufficiently large for the balloon to pan under, on the edges of which tho setting sun shone with all the splendour and brilliance of the variegated rainbow, the beautiful tints,:the awful dead silence ; not a sound could be heard, earthly nature appeared all dead. Such was truly heavenly and totally indescribable. Alone, sitting in nay car at an altitude of two miles, above four different layers of clouds, and twice seeing the setting sun, first in, total darkness, and then passing to the grand views I have before described, can only be imagined by aliosa who have witnessed th em , i n w h ose m i nds they must arouse thoughts of the great wor ki ngs of the Al mighty Creator. In about a quarter of an hour, thinking I had left the town, I prepared to descend, and passir g through layer after layer of clouds, some. times in perfect darkness, at other times in full view of the setting sun, and long before I came in view of the earth, I could distinctly hear the whistle of the railway trains and the buzzing of the town, which in dicated I had not, as anticipated, got away from Man. the ter, for when I came through the clouds, as the shades of evening were closing, could perceive the gas-lights, like stars shoot ing, and the different factories, with their lights glittering, and then found I had little time to lose in my descent, as I wished to pack up before night came far on, but had some difficulty to find a place suitable for such purpose, being surrounded by the different buillings in the vicinity of Manchester. so as to prevent th e ascen di ng of tha these e o os t e bagshavingcautiously, o left,g otaway, nha vin I was obl obliged dd to opargt withlr)ly balloon, and yet check ray descent so as to Aoat (111, until I could get an open space to descend, which, am happy to say, I effected near Phillips-park, eller remaining in the air three-quarters of an hour, Several hundred persons immediately assembled in the grounds, and many rendered assistance in packing up the balloon, and 1 immediately returned with the same to the Vauxhall-gardens."
