ASCENT OF MR. S.IDLER AT DUBLIN.

!From the DNlain Fre. way's Jaunted of Thursday.]
Early yeate rday, in consequence of the fineness of
day 'tieing assaratmer• of Mr. Sadler's ant eat gr:•at crowds
rissembkil outside the Coburg Gardens, Ilarcourt-street.
S m early a.s eleven o'clock the Green was crowded with care,
carriages, &e., in which were many elegantly druecd fe-
males, and the se extended so far on one side as the Circu-
lar-road. The number of pedestrians was equally great,
and in the route to the scene of action all parties mixed
promiscuously. The well-.:resell and the. ragged jostled
each other without ceremony. to pain the pre-eminence.
Within the walls, how, vt r, the greatest .segularity pre-
veiled. The :norther of person! in the Interior of the
gardens was comparatively small, hut they increasi el goa-
-1 dually towards the hour of she• lISIOIIg stud at half-past one
o'clock the gardens were tuletahly well tilled.

was one of the largest sir hese seen.
At two o'clock, the cords of the large balloon being cut,
and Mr. Sunk r accompanied by Mr. Lc:in:piton, having
enured tin• car, the machine proceeded in a notth-east di-
rection towards Lambs,. Nothing could be more magni-
fle or than the asceut. It was easy and gradual, without
the ler;st inclination to titbit- side. At any time such a
ap. ctacle is calculated to Mate interest—but the dearness
of the annutilehere—the total absence of clouds—the still-
! mse of the air— the Hassling brightnees of the son—and
the almost insurmountable height of the serene blue sky—
were calculated in a great degree to enhance and heighten
the intere,t.

admirable comedy of lit Nell Ada Als,nl AVIIMiNK was se-
leari for Saturday night's performance. The character
which, in the reading of this play, strikes one as thr
most prominent, dues not, in the acting of it, appear
so; and perhaps this circumstance, in sonic degree, added
to our disappointment at witnessing Misr. Jones's
Fero. We could not be pleased with her: there was an

power, though he evidently laboured under the cif: eta of a

The wit and caustic humour that are given to the churac-

of the pertonner and of their own judgments) for we have
great faith in an open. hearted laugh, and acknowlrilge its
