TIIE MONTGOLFIER BALLOON.

_~~~-

-Yesterdat the Sitffep Tdoldgiettl Gardens were crowded to excess by
visitors, at a shilliOg a head, in conseqUenee oC ttid
atinottneement that
the new Great Montgolfier, or fire balloon, would make its first asCent.
The gates were opened at twelve. o'clock, and notwithstanding the
threatening state of the weather, the company continued rapidly to in-
crease ifittil Seten o'clock, about which time the preparations for the
' inflation of the balitiori isefe tThOeitied to take plane. The process was
conducted, however, strictly in private, behind d tarpthiling erected for
the purpose, and•neither furnace, car, flags, nor " intrepid i•Oliduts,"
were to be seen The huge and unwieldy mass continued to roll about
in the middle of the lake, without betraying any ascensive tendency,
until the 'assembled thousands began to exhibit, symptoms of im-
patience for• the prentised - flight, when a printed placard was
exhibited; Stating; • that the halltien " Could not awnd," but
that the eruption of friount "iesuvitig svddld take place at dusk in.
stead. At this announcement great indignation was manifesteti, and a
vigorous and well directed volley of stores from all sides speedily brought
the unfortunate balloon, ridtfled with holes, to float prostrate upon the
•stirfaee of the stagnant lake. An attempt was made to'drag it on shore
In °Mfgjo tent it up; but this failed, as the cord by which the assail_
ants' had hold of it broke in the struggle. The poles which supported
it, however,' were soon broken and thrown to the ground, as well as
art of the spectators' gallery, and the trees and pailings were in many
Maces Oiled up And destroyed. An attack was even meditated and ac.
Wally commenced' on the Lige Eirtlular• glass menagerie, of which
s. veral panes were broke; but this piece of wantOii tlsttruetion was
speedily repressed by the mnrc discreet portion of the assembly. The
attendants engaged in the inflation of the balloon narrowly escaped with
sound skins and bones at the first onset ; and at a subsequent period we un.
derstand that Mr. Cross, the proprietor of the gardens was set upon by the
exasp,rated mOb, who were actually dragging him to duck him in his
own pond, when. ho was reSeued by Main force by the police. Having
at length exhausted their wrath, without doing, we hope, any set ions
damage, and having no means of refreshing their sinews of waf for
further exploits of the kind (there being no liquors sold in the gar-
dens), the assembly remained peaceably enough on the spot till the pro-
mised eruption of .Vesuvius sent them home in tolerably good humour.
How far the proprietors were to blame for these outrageous proceedings
we cannot pretend to say ; but they should be careful for the future, if
they expect any respectable people to attend their entertainments, to
avoid affording an occasion for subjecting them to the tender mercies of
an infuriated mob.

The number of the multitude was variously estimated, by parties
expert in such calculations, at from four to twelve thousand ; we
should say the former • number, however, was nearer the mark. A
strong body orpolice was in attendance, and behaved with great cool-
ness and good humour under the "-untoward" circumstances of the day.
