CREMORNE GARDENS.

---
An absurd rumour was flying about town this
morning that the Italian Brothers had met with a
fatal accident in their balloon ascent last evening, the
fact being that they returned safe and sound to the
gardens before eleven o'clock, after landing at Ealing.
The experiment made with the parachute, in which
Madame Poitevin is to make her descent on Monday
next, was most satisfactory. It was attached to the
balloon laden with a weight exceeding that of the fair
aeronaut by twenty-eight pounds, and, being let go
at. a considerable elevation, descended gently at Acton.
Mr. Simpson was resolved to make this precautionary
trial for his own satisfaction and that of Madame
PLitevin, and we commend him for neglecting no
measure to ensure the perfect safety of his adventu-
rous employes. There are many feats, truly marvel-
lous to behold, nightly enacted at Cremorne Gardens,
but we never entertain the slightest apprehension
of a failure on the score of either skill or security,
under the vigilant eye of the present spirited and
j ustly -popular proprietor.

THE ARCHJEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.

Section of Antiquities met in the theatre of the Philo.
sophical Society, Lord Talbot de Malahide in the chair.

At the evening sitting of the Institute, papers were

Bouchier Richardson on the ancient topography of
Newcastle.

to bed without a " bashawed lobster " or devilled
bones; the man who has never carried anything heavier
than his cane, or cut anything stronger than his beard;

cutting twice a year his corns: the man who has
never handled any other Lill but a tailor's, and only
knows what a spade is by
seeing it in a pack of cards;
the man whoSe only knowledge of "hedging" has been
derived from the racecourse, and of "harrowing" from
a Victoria melodrama; the man who only cares for a
horse as somethieg to bet upon, and looks upon sheep as
" creatures from the country" that are fleeced at eearte;
the man who imagines a hull walks on two legs bite
those he has seen on the Stock-Exchange, and whose
skill in shooting has been restricted to a few
shots at the moon; the man who merely knows a bank
and a rake from what he has seen at a rouge-et-Moir table,
the man whose footing in society has always been upon
the very best polished-leather boots, and whose longest
walk in life has been through the Insolvent Debtors'
Court; the man who has never known what it is to
earn a dinner, or to enjoy one without French
wines; the man who would think himself de-
graded if he was seen carrying a parcel :—such a man
of all others ought not to emigrate. Better far
for him to lounge and 101 l on sofas, and lisp, and smoke,
and yawn, in a country that can appreciate him, doing
no harder work than diggirg occasionally in the morn-
ing papers, or in the gold districts of his mother's
pocket, than to carry those same qualities to a distant
land where they would only be thrown away, like early
purl before Quakers. Such a man, we repeat it, ought
to be the very last in England to emigrate!—Punch.

------ - WOOLWICH.—These
PAVILION GARDENS, NORTH
extensive and delightful gardens, which have onT been
opened during the present season, presented, on Tuesday
evening last, a very animated and picturesque appearance,
owing to the ascent of the celebranted Henry Coxwell in his
balloon Sylph. On the prey ous Monday, when Mr. Cox-
well made his first ascent from the Pavilion, there were at
least 8,000 persons present, and on Tuesday about 5,000 as-
sembled. Mr. Coxwell rose in company with two others,
and the Sylph travelled nearly due east, but on descending
into a lower current, was wafted towards Brentwood, where
a beautiful descent was made on t e
h estate of Lord Peters.
A dinner party at the Hall, among whom was his Excel-
lency Cardiral Wiseman, witnessed the descent.

RE-OPENING A PORTION OF PICCADILLY.—A. por-
tion of this important thoroughfare from Hyde-park-corner
to Half-moon-street, which has underdone a thorough re-
pair, was thrown open for public traffic yesterday. Great
exertions have been made to lessen as much as pessible the
hill opposite Devonshire House, which is now being paved
with substantial blocks of granite stone, so as to prevent the
dangers experienced by omnibuses and other vehicles tra-
versing this line of road. The distance from Clarges-street
to Berkeley-street is also being paved with the same kind
of stone, and it is expected to be completed in two or three
days, when the whole of this important omnibus route
from Brompton to the City will be thrown open for public
traffic.

is about to publish au account of the two cases.
