The following telegram, dated Hanover, Oct. 21"
,
has been received :—" The Wounded persons from
M. Nadar's balloon have been conveyed to this city,
and placed under the care of the French Legation.
The King of Hanover sent an aide-de-camp to
inquire after their wants. M. St. Felix has sus-
tained a fracture of the left humerus, besides con-
tusions on the face. M. Nadar has both legs dislo-
cated. Madame Nadar has sustained a compression
of the thorax and cintusions on the leg."

informed that M. Nadar has telegraphed from
Hanover, that it is unnecessary to send medical
assistance from Paris. Although the injured per-
