BALLOON.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the ascent of Mr.
Graham on his seventh Atrial exclusion, the gardens of
White Conduit House Tavern were filled at an early
period of the.day, it having been notified that the balloon
would be prepared for-flight precisely at three o'clock. At
this period., however, it was not one-third part inflated,
and public impatience began to muffed itself, in no very
gentle strains, at the delay. Indeed we sooder that the
dissatisfaction expressed on this occasion was not without
as the'!" who. have the regulation of such matte's

must have suflicient experience to"ensble them to fix with
More precision on the time necessary for inflation. When
the balloon was nearly filled, it was with great difficulty
keprstestly„.owing to the wind being rather high, and the
men, appointed to hold it were once or twits carried of
tbciilegs. At a quarter put six everything having been
preps td, Mn Graham mounted the platform, and took his
seat an the ear, *accompanied by Captain Hall, of the
Cokbitrepat Guards, imidst the unanimous shouts of the
assembled parrs. The balloon then being loosed from its
holds, amended most majestically, taking a south-wemerly
direction, and in less than 13 minutes it was wafted out
of sight. Until the disappearance of the balloon the waving
of the flap was quite visible, owing to the lowness of the
Amis. Mr. Graham arrived in town late last night, hav-
ing descended in safety at Tunbridge at halfgpast seven
dolosk, a distance of thirty three miles.

The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, accompanied. by
the Princess Augusta, spent IVednesday evening with the
