said : My name is Ann CannaVin'e, but I am sometimes
called Fanny Bird. Bird is my stepfather's name.
I am single, and I resided in Park-street for about
a fortnight before the Ist of October. My parents
live in a court in Blucher-street, Holloway Head,
and previously to that I lived with them. I. have
worked at the manufacture of Florentine buttons.
(Having been informed that she was not obliged to say
anything which might tend to criminate herself, the wit-
ness proceeded): On the morning of the Ist of October,.
between twelve and one' o'clock, I 'went into the Red
Cow Inn. I stayed there till about a quarter past one
o'clock, and in the meantime took a glass of ale with'
Sarah Clayton, whom I knew before. ,We both came
out of the Red Cow together. She went down Dale-
end, and I towards High-street. It was raining hard,
and I stood by the lamp in front of the Bell. I stood
there .two or three minutes, and while standing some
one came and stabbed me in the neck, but who it was I
do not know.—Sarah Clayton (the woman NO oit is alleged
was fighting with the previous witness on the morning
of the Ist inst.) was then called, and after being cautioned
was examined. She said—l am a pearl button maker,
living at No 5, St. Thomas-street. I was in Dale-end on
the morning of Saturday, the Ist October, at about twelve
o'clock. I went into the Red Cow Public-house and
stopped there till about two o'clock. I had two or three
glasses of port wine. I was neither sober nor drunk; I
knew what I was doing. I had been to the theatre
with four young women ; there was no men with us.
I don't know their names, with the exception of Polly
Baker and Annie Easam. At the Red Cow I saw Fanny
Bird and several other persons whom I knew by sight.
While I was there a young man named John Tulley
came in, and said he was going to fight, and that
Bob Brettle had backed him. Thomas Perry got up,
and said he would fight ; and Tulley replied Stop til
you come out, and I will fight any of you." The house
was being closed. Tully went out first, and all the rest
followed. I and Fanny Bird came up into this house
(the Bell), and we had two or three pints of port wine.
We all drank ; we were the same party who had left
the Red Cow, with the exception of Jack Tully, who
had gone home. Perry was there, I and Fanny Bird
were them, and altogether there were nine of us. Ido
not know any more names. Perry was getting drunk
and stupid, and I took him down Dale-end to get him
home. It must have been pretty nearly three o'clotk
when we left. Perry and I went home, and I did not

BALLOON TRIP FROM AMERICA TO

ENGLAND,

The New York' Herald contains an. recount of a

leviathan" balloon, whiCh is course of being com-
pleted at New York. The object intended to be ac-
complished by this vast rerial ship is to cross the Atlantic
with great rapidity, and this object Mr. LoWe, its
designer, declares himself certain of obtaining through
its agency. According to the Herald, he says he will
be able to "plough his way through the air, to England
in 43 hours, or, at most, in 73 hours. In describing the
balloon, the Herald sacs :—" An idea of the balloon's
immense size may be formed when we state that the

. .

respects correspond with its great height. Its circum-
ference at the longer diameter is 387 feet, and at the
transverse diameter 330 feet. It will thus be seen that the
body or bag of the balloon is nearly globular. The greatest

diameter, or the.distance from the to the neck, is
120 feet while its transverse diameter, at the widest
pert, is 104 feet.. The car, which is 20 feet in cir-
cumference and four feet deep, is made of rattan, having.

a hole in the floor eighteen inches in diameter, from
which a stout ladder conducts to the_ boat, twenty feet
beneath: The car is circular in form, surrounded with
