("ornerier
After Mr. Sadler had been conveyed to the house where be died,
those a-ounil him did every thing which commiseratlin or skin
ennhl dictate, bat his condition was beyond the reach of human
liwiati^n. An:rapt those thus e: r.gA was Mr. super:rt.
tenizet of Mtwara. S.nipson's printiel work., who not only awl.
daotaln attendvd the bed of the dying aeronaut, but secured what
nroierty he had on his permit. It wan not at time known who 3lr.
temper was; hut an individual present havir.y. Iteenl of his parnoseel
ascent font Bolton, nod • letter tuition here *Mind on him addresse
to Mrs. eadler, Mr. A ikin was enabled to dtspatch letters to the
unfortunate gentleman's friends in LiverpeaL It had been Mr.
Sndler's cenvr.nt practice to atldmas a letter to 31rs. S.uller on the
eve cf his elerarture on any cons;;., end to carry the letter with

sitwa aloft in hit balloon.
As twin as Mrs. S idler received the letter cildnessed to her by her
husband. and ferwarled by Mr. Aikin. end which too truly inti-
mated that borne arcident had occurred, a'. • tenme.distely set out
Jr. company with 3lr. Arens:frog. the r.:cert companion of 31r.
Snlhr tram IVigan ; a gentleman who had been intimate with Mr.
Sadler, and who was deeply interested in his prosperity. Mr.
Armetecng, who did not augur anything fatal ftom what he had
heard. was shocked on lemming, on their arrival et Blackintrn,
that arr. Sailer was no nacre ; and, with a date regard to the feel.

amcietr ins'antly to post on, and her entreaties to know the worst,
iniluetd that rendenran at length to disclose the lamentable fact.
Mm. Sadler wan Violently affected, but the determined to proceed
to Fox-hill Balk. Thither she was accompanied by M. Arm.
strong, who slid every thing to dissuade her from viewing the
corpse. But finding her resolved, lie entlrasoored to palliate the
.eabe.s on the unfortunate lady, of a last look on the disfigured re-
mains of her ill_fated husband. The scene was awfully distressing,
hut afforded the widowed Mrs. Sadler a relieving—carisacholy—
sati.fwit ion.
• Haring made some necessary arrangements, Mr. Armstrong re.
tarred to Ulackhurn with Mrs. m. Sadler, 'whose precariona health
rendered it advisrable to rest. Neat morning

made arrangements for the removal of the body, Mr.
Armstrong rejoined Mts. Sadler, and haired at Liverpool at
an ear!: hour on Saturday, having on part of the way al3COnlyani;:d

The steno of the public, through the w'.ntle of the county, was
roar more intmsc than at the lamentable catastrophe of Alr. Sod.
I •r'a death. The mom pressing solititatiens were sent from Bolton,
tnat tee hearse should pass through that town, to gratify the wish
of the inhahharts to pay every respect to the memory of the de.
ceased. Between seven and eight on Friday ainht, the hearse, in
ersequence. missed slowly through that town, hollowed by the
ettaise, in which were Mr. Armatrong and 31rs. Sadler. A re.
gum was made from the Commercial Inn, there, where the Corn.
miner to conduct the ascent had before met, that the hearse should
atop t:w a short time to enable them and other gentlemen to
assemble, who were desirous to accompany him through the town;
bnt. owing to Mrs. Sadler's distressed state of mind, tt wan deemed
prudent to rotted without daisy. The procession, however, was
jo:ntal by a large assemblage of individuals; amongst whom were
many females, who. at a slow pace, followed the hearse through
the town, and mail of them tar beyond it. The chaise then pre.
e'leel the hearse to Liverpool; and at Wigan, ahem Mr. Sadler
made his last turcessful ascent, about two weeks ago, the Mayor,
who. ma that occasion, had acquired a warm friendship for hlr.
S meet sincerely condoled with the mourners ; anal, with a
r•imher of gentlemen, received them in a manner which bespoke
th: utmost sympathy and regard.
The hearse arrived here at eight o'clock on Saturday morning;
and the renwins .r the unforturate aeronaut were derma, noted within
torso rians:on which he had so lately quitted in the gladness of do.
mantic eemfort, and in the bloom of health.
At n.e funeral, which took place cm Monday morning, there were
present upwards of tour thousand individuals, anxious to she,
recc, to: his memory by acrorunanving his retains to the grave.
Toe church (Christ (turd)) was enwded, and the solemnity of the
acne vas heightem-d by an impressive dirge, which was sung by
tlx choir. The coffin, which was of onk, was stuelited with brass
nails and on the top was • brass plate, with the brief inscription,
