fur the berient of the aboie institution, which
claims for its imote,dial'e object the visiting, reliev-

protection of her late Majesty, and now receives
the patronage of most of the illustrious personages
in the kingdom. Scarcely did se ever notice a

Their Rityal Highnesses the Duke and Duchest
of Kent arrived in their carriage prior to the com-
mencement of the Service, front which they were
conducted to the western gallery of the Chapel to
hear Diviue Service, the place being appropriated
for their reception.
At the conclusion of the sermon her Grace the

It is impossible to paint what passed at tbii Mo-
ment at Tivoli. Cries of:agony burst forth in every
direction ; a great number of females suffered vio-
lent nervous attacks; and consternation was painted
upon the countenances of every one.
The, gendarmes instantly gallopped towards the
place where it was presumed she would 1011, and
t'ie lifeless body of Madame Blanchard was in a
quarter of an hour conveyed to Tivoli. She Gil

de Provence; the body was still in the boat, being
caught in the cords by which it was attached to the
balloon.
We treed hardly add, thdt at the general corn-
; wand all the amusements ceased, and that no more
lire-works were played off.—A collection was in-
stantly opened in favour of Madame Blanchard's
family. The unfortunate woman was about 45
years of age.

Preparations were begun on Friday to be made
at the 'louse of Lords to receive the PRINCE tit:-
GENT, who's expected to go in l4.tate to- row,
to prorogne the Parliament, by a speech f
the Throne. A ',umber of the Pills will be passed
by cominiv.ion this day, that only a few may he
left to receive the Royal Assent in person. The
House of Lords will of course be graced by the pre-
sence of ladies.

The following are some more details respectine
the nieluncholy event which happened yesterday in
the Garden of Tivoli. It appears now certain that
the close of 'Nits(lame Blanchard's balloon taking
fire arose from Ilegitet in leaving open the appeudice
of the balloon, already ton full tit the moment of
departure, and which dilating more •nd mare,
placed tile gas which escaped from it in conimuni-
n aaitb a match intended for use in the artificial
fire.norks. The aeronaut fell on the roof of the
house, No. lb. Rue de Provence. Tha roof bent
under lie wrii4llt, .41141 prebeitted a breach of four
or five ket circuriifereilce. The inhalmaists of the
buns« say they heard frightful screams. Madame
fell from the roof into tse street, and
ht,t-r WI appears to li-ve occasioned her death.
W hell Kited op she inraliirol seine sighs. A shred
of he balloon was ati alt;.ehed to the boat.
The ii,ifoftunate woman was instantly carried in
• c air in Tivoli, where several medical men vainly
attempted to restore animation. She had no marl:
of tie fl ones, and her garments were not touehed.
Her hat, and our of her slippers, were found this
morning in the house. Several retiorts agree itt
stating that Madame Blauchard, although gene-
rily so courageous, had been agitated with sinister
forelnidaig4. At the moment of her asc.nt, she'
said to one of the persons near to her, " I do tint
know why, but lam not tranquil this day." Her
body was conveyed this morning front Tivoli to
the Rue Cassette. Among her papers was found
a will, bequeathing all her property to a little girl,
aged eight years, the daughter of a friend. The
collection made yesterday in a few minute,:
amounted to near 3,000 francs.--(Guzetle de

tions to the trustees for the preservation of them.
His Honour would see how particularly jealous the
Noble Testator was of the conduct of the lir:bent
Duke ; he directed by his will that those articles
should be kept in the mansion-bonne, at Blenheim,
and that they were not to be removed frotu thence
without the consent of the trustees, and lie directed
that after his chat!) an inventory should be token by
the trustees, and two copies to be made acid signed
by the trustees, and whoever might -be the
tenant in possession for the time bring; and
that the miners should kxamitte the articles
from time to time, to see that they were in sore
keeping, and to see that they were repaired and re.
placed, and, in case of any of them being missing,
restored at the expense of the Duke in possession.
The bill then ended, that about three mouths he.
fore the filing of it, the Noble Defendatit had
caused all the gold plate to be removed from Blen-
heim by the Defendant, Thai. Triphook, a stationer,
residing in St. Jatuees.street, who offered to pawn
them with several puwilbrokeis, and actually did
pledge them with our, and °Dried them for sale
to sir. Aibion Cox and a Mr. Guest. but they re-
fused to purchase them, from the suspicious cir-
cumstance of the engraved arms bring covered
with wax. Salve of the plate at that time
was in the custody of the Defendant 'Tripliuok.
The bill prayed that the Defendants might be de-
creed to deliver over the articles to the Noble Plain-
tiffs. Th.. Noble Defendant had not put an an-
swer in, and had (nude no application fur time
for that purpose, although nue mouth and three
days had elapsed since the filing of the bill.
An application on the Bth of June was made
to the Lord Chancellor, for an injunction to re-
strain the Defendants from privrnior, selling. or
disposing of the gold plate and the thamood sword,
and from removing the other articles front the
Mansion at Blenheim. His Lordship, on hear-
ing only two affidavits stated, granted the i„-
junction, but since that the Noble Defeudatit hail
not made any application. or attempted to contra-
dict the affidavits. The Learned Counsel then
stated the affidavit of the INA of Shaftesbury
(which is already before the piddle). He then stated
another affidavit of the Noble Earl's, which set forth
that after the granting of the injunction, he had tin
interview with Isis Grace, when he promised that
the gold ptite and the diamond sword should be
forthcoming in a few days; but they had not since
come to view, except the diamond sword mid a
.chrioionaeter, which was presented by his present
Majesty to the late Duke, which was found in
the posttest-awl of a creditor of the Noble Defend-
ant, who had seized on them under an execution ;
end un the Noble Plaintiffs making an application
to the creditor, lie delivered them up. Under
these circumstances, lie had no doubt but hue Ho-
nour would grant the order as prayed for.
