CREMORNE GARDENS.

The importance of punctuality hi all matters
which concern the public was Lever more clearly
shown than by the management of these popular gar-
dens in the ascent of the immense balloon "Le
Globe," last night. The weather was unpropitious
from an early hour of the day. Storm followed
storm, shower succeeded shower, but as there was an
occasional streak of ethereal blue and a gleam of sun-
shine between them, the spirited proprietor deter-
mined that, come what would, the advertised balloon,
though requiring 130,000 feet of gas, should be in.
flated and should go up. By the appointed hour the
inflation was completed, and a very numerous and
highly respectable company had assembled, though a
very forest-like display of umbrellas were neces-
sary to protect them. The parachute was obliged
to be dispensed with, as the silk does not yield to
the pressure of the air when wet. This must ne-
cessarily have caused some little disappointment to
the gentleman who came prepared to test the safety
of it in company with Madame Poitevin : but
he bore it with true gentlemanly feeling, and joined
the merry party of 24, who, despite the rain, proved
their love of ballooning by readily purchasing seats
in the car. After the time necessary to arrange so
large a party comfortably had been spent, the word
to let go was given, and the immense machine took
its departure south-westward amidst the hurras of
the voyagers, which was most heartily responded to
by the assembled multitude, even amidst the shaking
of a forest of umbrellas. The theatre was subse-
quently very much crowded to see the capital ballet,
The Barber of Cadiz; and, the evening having
cleared up, the dancing al fresco was commenced,
and continued with a spirit and a determination
rarely witnessed in so great a degree as is
shown by the liberal supporters of Cremorne.
The aeronauts descended at Eastham, in Essex, and
the majority of them were visible in the gardens at
ten o'clock, after a rather wet passage over the entire
length of the metropolis. The balloon dragged for
some distance after touching the ground, owing to the
stupid conduct of one or two of the crew, who jumped
out prematurely to the annoyance of M. Poitevin and
the others.
