AERIAL ASCENT AT CHEL7'ENHAM.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

We inserted yesterday a letter from Cheltenham,
giving an account of Mr. Green's ascent,and men-
tioning that some miscreant had contrived to cut
one of the ropes which attached the car to the bal-
loon. The consequence of this rope being cut was
that en arch was formed in the net-work, which,
from the unequal pressure, coutiuued to give way
several times during the flight. We regret to have
to add the following particulate (coin The Chelten-
ham Chronicle of yesterday:—

but it was speedily torn away, and they were dragged
for the distaste of ruler Acids, knocked from hedge to

A very envious phenomenon has occurred within
these few weeks at Matting Broad : thousands and
tens of thousands of fish have died, and floated on
the surface of the water. No satisfactory cause has
been assigned fur Ibis great and unexampled de-
struction of the finny tribe.—(ltiorreie4 Pest.)
Ois Thursday, the 18th nit. the widow of the
unfortunate Henry Smindersem, who was executed
at Nottingham at the last Lent Anises, for shoot-
ing
WM. Cane, gamekeeper to Sir T. W. %A:Him
of Wallingwells, Bart. was delivered of two daugh-
ters. This circumstance has rendered her an object
of commiseration to those who have the means of
relieving distress. She is left the sole guardian of
six poor innocent orphan children.

In the night betwixt Thuraday and Friday last,
the dwelling-house of Mr. P. BRIGHT, watchmaker
mid jeweller, Doncaster, was burglariously entered,
when forty-one gold watches, a number of gold
chains, necklaces, seals, and ring. ; between thirty
and forty dozen of silver spoors, four or five dozen
silver tea tongs, seven dozen table spoons, three or
four gross of silver thimbles, a variety of other ar-
ticles of jewellery, &e. were carried off by the de-
predators. The robbery was effected by a very sin-
gular device. The step placed at the foot of the
house door was removed from its foundation, and
an excavation made sufficient to admit a person of
ordinary size, by which means the door was easily
opened, and the robbers introduced into the house ;
two other doors were then forced open, when, hav-
ing gained possession of the shop, property to the
amount of not less than one thousand pounds was
carded away.
