FATAL BALLOON ASCENT. On Monday afternoon
Mr. R. Green made an ascent from Cardiff in a balloon
belonging to Mr. Wadman, of this city, and it is feared
the aeronaut has perished. The balloon was discovered
early on Tuesday morning by a working man named
James Brunr, who, terrified at its appearance, hastened
to Mr. Scott, his master, and gave information of what
he had seen. Mr. Scott on proceeding to the spot found
the balloon three parts filled with gas, and not at all
injured. In the car was a pair of boots, a coat, a neck.
tie, and four small bags, all of which were wet. The
balloon was observed on Monday afternoon at Clevedon,
crossing the Severn from the direction of Cardiff, and
takinz a course down the Channel, and it is conjectured
that Mr. Green, from some cause or other at prey-jet
unexplained, was compelled to quit the balloon fe the
water, and there is too much reason to fear the'
met a watery grave. From inquiries made at. Ai w

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Mr. ADDERLEY wished to ask the Under Secretary
for the Colonies, whether he would:lay:before the House
those communications which have been stated to have
been lately received from the Governor of the Cape, in-
timating that the announcement of his intention to send
convicts to that settlement had excited very general dis-
satisfaction among the colonists? Also, to what pat tof
the settlement convicts will be sent, and whether under
any further restraint than is supposed to exist in a ticket
of leave.

Mr. HAWES said a dispatch had been received on
the subject from the Cape of Good Hope. Certain papers
had ben moved for by the Noble Lord the Member for
Hertford, which related to the matter, which would be
laid on the table as soon as they were received.
Mr. ADDERLEY said some communication was
stated to have been received by Earl Grey
from the Governor of the Cape of Good
Hope, and he wished to know whether that
communication would be laid before the House. Earl
Grey htd stated in the other House that this communi-
cation intimated that very general dissatisfaction had
been expressed in the colony on the subject to which his
question related.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HAWES was not aware that any communication
whatever had been received on the subject. A dispatch
had been sent out, but no official answer had been
re turned.— (Hear.)
Lord MAHON hoped when that answer was re-
ceived, it would be laid before the House.
Mr. HAWES promised that it should.

A UST RIA.

HUNGARIAN BANK Novas.—The public announce-
ment of Prince Windischgratz, which appeared at
Ofen on the 2d of March, that the Hungarian bank-
notes will neither be confiscated nor considered
illegal in. Hungary, in direct contradiction of
the decree of the Ministry, has excited an
immense sensation at Vienna, and is looked
upon as nothing short of an open letter of
defiance to the -Ministry. The proclamation of Win-
dischgratz is as follows :—" As there is a report in cir-
culation among the public, that the Hungarian bank-
uotes,are considered an illegal tender in Austria, and
will be confiscated, notice is hereby given, for the
satisfaction of tbe public minds, that the illegality or
confiscation of the Hungarian bank-notes in private
transactions is not applicable to Hungary."
The Silesian Gazette says :—" The Ministry pro-
hibited the circulation of the Hungarian bank-notes
in tot,. The Prince, however, makes an exception in
favour of Hungary in respect to private transactions,
which is tantamount to every transaction."
The German Reform says—" This unexpected step
indicates nothing less than the decided opposition of
the Commander-in-Chief to the Ministry, and is
equivalent to an interdict of the Ministerial power
in Hungary.—Cologne Gazette.

BELGIUM.
THE BRUSSELS CONGRESS.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 9.—To all appearance there is
no progress in the preparations for the Austro-
Italian _conferences for peace, which are to take place
here. Count Colloredo is ily expected from Lon-
don, but as yet he is not come. It is asserted, that
he is waiting for fresh instructions, but a letter from
London, in the Deutsche Reforme, says that Count
Colloredo has declared openly that, in consequence
of the Sardinian Speech from the Throne, it is quite
impossible for the Austrian Cabinet to send a repre-
sentative to the Bruisels Congress. This is also said
to be the reason why Sir Henry Ellis, the British
Plenipotentiary, has not yet sent for his family.
M. de Lagrene, the representative of France at the
Congress, who was at Paris for a few days for the
purpose of receiving freshinstructions, has returned.

ITALY.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Roman
Republic, has addressed the following letter to the
Ministers of France, England, Sweden, and Den-
mark, at Florence :
" Sir,—The readiness and dignity with which you, as
also your colleagues of the corps diplomalique at Flo-
rence, used, on the Bth August, your good offices to
avert from Bologna the evil with which the impudent
Marshal Walden menaced it, induces me to denounce to
you, in the name of humanity, an enemy not less despi-
cable and detestable than Walden. A certain Elaynau,
styling himself marshal or general, after having stolen
from Ferrara 200,000 crowns, has taken with him six
eminent citizens, in order, as he says, to guarantee the
innovations that he has order' d in the city.

" The carrying away these hostages must lead to ter-
rible reprisals, and it is for the purpose of avoiding them,
and to preserve pure and holy our revolution, that I now
beseech you to have these victims of barbarity set at
liberty. Italy resorts but to legal warfare, though she
fights against her oppressors. She does not rob, nor
carry away honest citizens from their families, nor mas-
sacre defenceless women. Such ignominy she leaves to
the Croats. But the European Powers ought to lament
such atrocities, and render assistance to those who suffer
in the holy cause of liberty.
"This conviction has led me to write to you, urgently
to desire you, in the name of the Republic, to use your
good offices, that the six hostages may be restored to
their country.
"Persuaded, Sir, that you will not hesitate to per-
form as you have done under former circumstances, the
noble act I now request of you,
" I have the honour, &c.
_ _

" Rome, March 1. 1849."
In the sitting of the Ist of the Constituent Assem-
bly of Rome, Minister Guicciou proposed a Bill
adopting the Tuscan tariff instead of the Roman ;
another for the abolition of the barrier tax along the
frontiers ; and a third abolishing the customhouse
line between Tuscany and Rome.
According to a letter from Rome, quoted by the
Concordia of Turin, the Roman army at this moment
amounts to 41,670 men, with 54 pieces of artillery,
and a sufficient number of waggons. Two-thirds of
the soldiers have already seen fire at Cornuda, Vi-
cenza, Treviso, Mestre, and Venice. There are be-
sides 1,200 mobilised National Guards at Rome, an
university battalion 700 strong, and many Neapolitan
and Milanese emigrants, who have not yet been in-
corporated.
The Al' "a of Florence quotes a letter from Naples,
dated 26th ult., stating that a detachment of Neapo-
litan troops stationed at the frontier bad fraternized
with the Roman troops, and had been immediately
recalled in consequence.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, MARCH 3.—The arrival of her Majesty's ship
Prince Regent, from Gibraltar, and the announcement
that her Majesty's ship Powerful was to be attached to
the division of Sir W. Parker, are the great points of
the week, locally considered. The former ship, having
sprung her mainyard, was obliged to come to Malta,
where alone the necessary repairs could be effected. qn
the arrival of the Powerful, the Hibernia will, it is
thought, proceed home to be paid off, and Sir W. Par •
ker's flag be transferred to the Queen.
The outward India mails, per Ripon and Merlin, vid
Southampton and Marseilles, have both arrived. They
came in last night, after 10 o'clock, within half an hour
of each other.

The Ripon continues her route this afternoon.
PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 12.—8 y a letter from Sheer-
ness we are informed that the orders for paying off the
Stromboli there have been superseded by others to take
in charge the Conflict steamer to Devonport, to join the
reserve steam force there, and thence to proceed to
Pembroke with riggers and spars to navigate the Magi-
cienne, new steamer, to Sheerness to be fitted, and then
to return to Spithead. We trust this is correct. The
Stromboli had a most expensive refit before going on her
present commission, and to pay her off before serving
one-half the usual short term (three years) of service
would be something worse than folly under existing
circumstances.

The Rifleman screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant Com-
mander Crofton, came into harbour to coal and prepare
for service this morning. _

The depot companies of the 42d Highlanders were
conveyed to Cowes to-day by the Echo steam tug. They
were embarked from Clarence-yard.
Wind N.W. by W., light breeze and hazy weather.
PLYMOUTH, MARCH 10.—Her Majesty's packet-brig
Petrel came into harbour on Monday to refit. Her Mu-
jesty's brig Nautilus was masted on the same day. Tho
Belleisle, 72, was undocked on Wednesday.
DocitYAßD.—On the 7th instant orders were issued to
the different branches to make returns of the ages of all
men employed, of those incapable of doing a full day's
work, and of those who habitually lose time. This re-
turn is preparatory to the reduction which takes place
on the lit of April. A general survey of the artisans
will be made on Monday, the 12th instant, in the pre-
sence of Admiral Superintendent Sir John Louis and the
principal offices of the yard; muster to commence at two
o'clock.
THE RODNEY AND HER SEAMEN.—We aro informed,
with reference to the seamen of the Rodney, that most of
the men who went on board of the Victory were those of
good conduct, who accepted the very liberal offer of the
Admiralty to give them six weeks' leave, with the option
of returning to the service at the expiration of that
period, and of being paid for their time during the va-
cation. It is not impossible, however, that some of the
Rodney's men may have been in debt to the purser; for
it will be remembered that the Rodney only recently in-
creased the number of
_her complement in the Mediter-
ran 0611.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

The EMPEROR has issued a ukase to all the official
departments, informing them that in the year 1849
they are not to present any petitions whatever for an
increase of salary or pecuniary assistance of any
kind, because the country will require extra-
ordinary pecuniary resources for the consolidation
of the whole army. Whoever acts contrary to
this ukase is to be subject to severe punishment.
This ukase is one of immense importance at this
moment, for a prohibition of the kind has not been
known in the memory of man, and clearly indicates
that the CZAR has very extensive projects, for the
carrying out of which he is reserving his finances.
One of the most important tokens relative to mea-
sures about to be take❑ in the present position of the
affairs of the North, is the fact, that a Russian
squadron has already received orders to cruize in the

which was exquisitely rendered by that lady. Con;
derc was in excellent voice and did full justice to the
part of Leonie, and M. Buguet as the jealous prince
sung and acted admirably. All three Were called
before the curtai❑ at the conclusion of the cpera. The
performances concluded with Adolphe Adam's opera
of Le Chalet, with which many of our readers must
be already well acquainted, it having, as " The Swiss
Cottage," had a great run at the Olympic during the
Vestris reign, and having been revived with equal
success at the Lyceum during the Keeley dynasty.
The house was well and fashionably attended.

1,1/ CEIJM THEATRE.
Planche's dramatic musical trifle, A Romantic Idea,
bids fair to become a standing favourite with the
play-going public. The " idea" is well conceived,
and equally well carried out. Mr. C. Mathews, as
the student, was, as he is always, the very essence of
light comedy, and the applause he obtained was richly
deserved. The King of the Peacocks, as we pre-
dicted on its first representation, has distanced all its
competitors ; it is now the only remaining one of the
late Christmas festivities. Planche, the successful
author, is remarkably happy in fitting his Characters
to the company of this—the acknowledged leading
theatre in England for vaudeville, light comedies, and
fairy extravaganzas. Although this burlesque has
been repeated upwards of seventy consecutive nights,
the applause still bestowed upon it is unbounded—a
high tribute to all the talented artistes concerned.
The house last night was crowded by a distinguished
and fashionable audience.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the t4th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which Is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any gtound whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums . with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p Aid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Os the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, ani the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of tie
equator.
No Admission er Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
Tie usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

MARSHLAND SMEETH DRAINAGE.

Mr. COKE moved, pursuant to notice, and Sir F. Box-
Tort seconded, a motion to the effect, that the petitions
of the inhabitants of Outwell, in the county of Norfolk,
and of Mr. Henry Bird, of Upwell, in the county of
Cambridge, farmer, in opposition to certain clauses in
the Marshland Smeeth and Fen Equalisation
of Drainage Rates and Repair of Roads
Bill, and praying to be beard by them-
selves, their counsel, agents, and witnesses against the
clauses in the said Bill affecting their interests, and
which petitions were respectively lodged in the Private
Bill-office upon Thursday, the Bth, and Friday, the 9th
days of this instant March, be received and referred to
the Committee on the said Bill, notwithstanding the
said petitions were so lodged more than seven days after
the second reading of the Bill.
Mr. W. PATTEN suggested that the motion should
he withdrawn, in order that the parties might present
another petition, stating how they had been misled.
Mr. COKE withdrew the motion.

LEVANT MAIL.

The Levant Mail brings advices from Constantin
nople to the 25th, from Smyrna to the 28th ult., and
from Athens to Ist inst.

The Journal de Constantinople of the 19th ult. has
the following :—" Some French journals which draw
their information from we know not what sources,
pretend that his Highness Aguas PACLIA met with a
bad reception at Constantinople. These journals
have been ill informed. We have already said, and
we again repeat, that never was an Ottoman func-
tionary placed so high in the hierarchy as he has
been, or received a more brilliant and cordial recep-
tion from the SULTAN and his Ministers. This re.
ception was such that it caused us, in common with
all true friends to Turkey, to rejoice and augur great
good from it to this empire."
The Vice-Admiral .Moustafa Pacha had left Con-
stantinople for the Black Sea.
The Smyrna papers contain no news of import-
ance. Her Majesty's brig-of-war the Frolic arrived
from the Pyreus on the 22d, and sailed the following
day for Beyrout, where she is to be stationed.
From Athens we learn that affairs are in no way
altered since our previous accounts. The schism in
the Cabinet still continued.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

Last evening Massinger's tragedy of The Fatal
Dowry was revived and played for the first time,for
some years at this suburban theatre. The represen-
tation was completely and deservedly successful, the
tragedy being produced with all that correctness of
style and attention to the stage appointments for
which the management of Sadler's Wells is so noted.
The principal characters were sustained by Mr. Phelps,
Mr. G. Bennett, Mr. Marston, Miss Cooper, and Miss St.
George, with much ability and care. At the con-
clusion Mr. Phelps was called for, and received the
applause of a house crowded to the ceiling.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived.
The Clamor Publico says :—" Incredible, absurd,
and ridiculous though it appears, an armed interven-
tion in Rome has been definitively resolved on. Five
thousand men, with 24 pieces of artillery, under the
command of Baron DE MEER, are preparing to attack
the liberty of the Roman people. The .Espana also
mentions that a rumour of intervention was current,
and that it was said that General JOSE DE LA CONCHA
was to command the expedition. A Madrid letter
says that it was believed that secret orders for pre-
parations to be made for the expedition had been al-
ready issued by the Government. The Herald° states
that General NARvAEZ and the Minister of Foreign
Affairs had received the Grand Cross of the Order of
Pius IX. from the POPE. M. D'HAECOURT, secretary
of the French Legation, charged ad interim with the
Legation, had arrived in Madrid."

CEUM THEATRE.

Planche's dramatic musical trith, A Romantic Idea,
bids fair to become a standing favourite with the
play-going public. The `'idea" is well conceived,
and equally well carried out. Mr. C. Mathews, as
the student, was, as he is always, the very essence of
light comedy, and the applause he obtained was richly
deserved. The Icing of the Peacocks, as we pre-
dicted on its first representation, has distanced all its
competitors ; it is now the only remaining one of the
late Christmas fe,tivities. Planche, the successful
author, is remarkably happy in fitting his characters
to the company of this—the acknowledged leading
theatre in England for vaudeville, light comedies, and
fairy extravaganzas. Although this burlesque hu
been repeated upwards of seventy consecutive nights,
the applause still bestowed upon it is unbounded—ft
high tribute to all the talented artistes concerned.
The house last night was crowded by a distinguished
and fashionable audience.

" Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy—rich, not gaudy ;
For the aparel oft proclaims the man."
91HE spirit and meaning of the above quotation
may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented
Paletot or outer coat, adapted for a variable climate, by means
of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby It can be
converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice
versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im-
proved, and he possesses a most gentlemanly and graceful gar-
ment for either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner
_ _

lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most com-
fot tat to reading or dressing Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is
rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from one
and a half to three and a half guineas, but can be had in London
only of the Patentees, H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 129, RE-
GENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

FOREIGN WOOLS.—" At the recent Wool
Sales, the whole of certain qualities of Foreign Wools, after
some competition, were purchased for Messrs. Nicoll, the extensive
Woollen Drapers and Clothiers of Regent-street and Cornhill. They
are all marked for Gloucestershire, as in tkat county the mills are
situated wherein the raw material will be converted into the beau-
tiful fabric known as the Nicellian Cloth, a species of manufacture
introduced by the trm from whim it derives its name."—The Sun.
WOOLLEN BUYERS and CONSUMERS are reminded that
Messrs. NICOLL were the first, and continue to be the only, house
in the United Kingdom that ever offered ti the buyer and consumer,
for cash payments, the saving of all the several profits of the In-
termediate grades that continue to exist between the wool growers
and themselves. As will be shown by the above extract from one of the
public journals, tho wool used in the manufacture of the Nicellian Cloth
dews not leave Messrs. N.'s possession until it is produced in the piece
ready for sale, either by their Agents, or themselves at the Whole-
sale Warehouse, 120, REGENT-STREET, and afterwards when
made up into the fashionable and Patented garments known as the
NICOLL, the REGISTERED PALETOT, and NICOLL'S
MORNING COAT, all of which can be purchased singly of the
several recognised Agents, as also of the Patentees.

ANQVELTY.—There has lately been registered
an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gentle-
man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged
want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some-
what in the form of a dress-coat—that is to say, it can be
worn without any distinct infringement of the laws of cos-
tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ;
but yet the garment is more especially intended for morning
wear, as a Riding or Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each
will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its
fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their
patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, co that a
selection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or
the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance
arising from the cutter not immediatelely comprehending what is
wanted.
Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S
MORNIItCi COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty,
and which can be had in London only of 11. J. and D. NICOLL, 114,
116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

have crossed the, Couban, and put all the Russian
garrisons in that quarter to the sword.

AUSTRIA.

One of the Vienna journals announces, on autho-
rity of a letter from Wadouric, in Gallicia, that
20,000 Russian troops and 4,000 cavalry were to
proceed to Cracow, to await orders as to their desti-
nation ; and 42,000 men with 18 000 cavalry were
to occupy the circles of Jaslo, Tarnow, Perzonsi,
and Landec. _ _ _

Notwithstanding the extensive destruction of the
Hungarian bank-notes, made by order of the Austrian
Government, there were still, it is calculated, notes
of 62,000,000 florins in circulation.
