AEROSTATION.—VAUXHALL GARDENS.---YeS-
terday a highly respectable company (exceeding in number
any former occasion, there being nearly 12,000 persons as-
sembled) attended at Vauxhall Gardens, for the purpose of
witnessing the ascent of two balloons between which, as stated
in the bills, a race was to take place. There were present
the Duke of Brunswick, Lord and Lady Burghersh, Lords
Lyndhurst, Chesterfield, Lennox, &c., Hon. G. Wombwell,
Captain Tollemache, Sir Frederick Madden, &c. After the
usual routine of amusements, about half-past six o'clock, as the
inflation of the balloons was completed, preparations were
made for launching them. The aeronauts, as on the former
occasions, were Mr. Green and Mr. W. Green. Shortly be-
fore the ascent the Duke of Brunswick made application to
accompany Mr. Green, but he had previously entered into an
engagement with a gentleman of the name of Wrottesley, of
scientific and literary pursuits, residing at Blackheath, while a
Mr. Collett, a gentleman of Lord Lyndhurst's party, had
agreed with Mr. William Green. The Noble Duke earnestly
entreated one of the adventurous travellers to resign his seat,
but he could not succeed in persuading either ; and not even
the offer of a free passage on the first ascent of the grand new
balloon could prevail. At a few minutes past the half-hour of
six o'clock the balloons rose from the earth, and took a direc-
tion almost due west. Ono was elevated higher than the
other; but it rapidly advanced, and was nearly coming in col-
lision with the former when a current of air gave it a retrograde
motion. In a few minutes it was again borne to the west-
ward, which course they both continued till lost to view. The
roads outside the gardens and Vauxhall-bridge were crowded
with people.

The new Bishop of Lichfield, Dr. Butler, whose
duty it is, as junior member of the Episcopal Bench, to read
prayers daily in the House of Lords, has been compelled to
leave town by ill health.
Iron steam boats are just coming into general use.
One, said to be the first built on the east coast of Scotland, was
launched at Perth about a week ago. It only draws about 2i
feet, is 105 in length and deck, and 17 wide between the
paddles. _

One of the lightest jockeys that ever started in a
saddle, is William, the son of John Day, who made his debut
at the late Goodwood races, and seems likely to perpetuate the
family name and reputation. This diminutive horseman is
barely 13 years of age, and weighed only 5 stone 31bs., with a
101 b. saddle- Notwithstanding the large field of horses, he
came to the start and rode with a degree of skill and self-pos-
session worthy of former Days.
It has been calculated that no less than 800 thieves
and blacklegs of one kind or other attended the late Goodwood
Races, but that, owing to the vigilance of the police, their de-
predations were of a very limited extent.
SUPPER EATlNG.—Suppers, at present, are dis-
couraged among the affluent, and excessive ones, such as have
been in use among our ancestors, very probably with good
reason ; yet there are some constitutions to which this practice
may not be beneficial ; two very moderate meals, at a suitable
distance, may perhaps be digested with much more ease than
one full meal, and be made more consistent with the duties of
life in various situations. From observation, lam led to sus-
pect, when people assure us they cat no suppers, that it would
be better for them if they did, than to oppress nature with a
cumbrous load that may be much more detrimental.—Maga-
zine of Health.

TELEGRAPH.—A new telegraphic system, appli-
cable to nautical purposes, invented by M. Claude Sala, has
just been presented as laying claim to the Monthyon prize.
It is described as remarkable for its simplicity • for by the aid
of eight signs, it produces, without difficulty, all the words of
the vocabulary, and by means of two lanthorns, it can carry on
a nightly correspondence.—Athenceum.

Two horses which the Emperor of Austria has sent
to the sons of Louis Philip, arrived at Metz on the 29th of
July. They were covered with housings chased with the arms
of Austria, and attended by grooms in Austrian uniform, and
were confided to the superintendence of M. Ivoy, a French
veterinary surgeon in the service of the Court of Vienna.
They are fine grays—one a Neapolitan, and the other Arabian.
At St. Avoid, where the horses rested on the 28th, it was said
that the custom-house officers at Forbach had received an
order beforehand to let them pass free, being intended for the
King's sons. We are not surprised at this; laws are never
meant to be binding for the great.--Courtier de Moselle,
