THE VAUXHALL BALLOON.

A friend, who arrived in town at a late hour last night,
informs us that tho Balloon descended at St. Omer, on
Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock. The balloon passed
over Dover at five on Tuesday afternoon. At Calais it
was seen by the sentinels on guard as it was passing imme-
diately over the town, but from the darkness it did not at-
tract general attention. It ultimately descended at St.
Omer, about seven o'clock, without the slightest accident
having occurred.—[We understand the Proprietors of the
Vauxhall Gardens have not received any letter confirming
the above.—En. Sun.]

their performance at this place; one belonging to M. Rievere,
and the other to Messrs. Cremieux and Chary. M. Riviere
lost by 4 length and a half. At one o'clock M. Privat set off
to perform a wager that be had made, that he would ride round
the Bois de Boulogne, which measures six miles and a half, in
15 minutes ; but he could not accomplish his task in less than
16 minutes and 45 seconds. Considerable sums of money were
won and lost on these matches. On the ground, a gentleman
engaged, for a bet of 10,000 francs, to walk 24 hours without
stopping; eating and drinking as he goes along. This, if per-
formed, will be a perfectly new and very extraordinary feat.

PARTS, Nov. S.—A private letter from Naples, of Oc-
tober 24, says, " Tho cholera begins to rage in a frightful
manner. This morning there were 291 cases, and 196
deaths—among the latter is one of the sons of the Minister
of Finance. Several of my acquaintance have been attacked,
and some have fallen victims. This dreadful disorder often
carries off, in four or five hours, those whom it has seized.
However, it is perhaps not the cholera that is most feared
here, but the infatuation of the people, who believe that
poison is the cause, and are guilty of the greatest excesses
in the streets to all persons who seem to be of good condi-
tion. However, the authorities adopt wise and rigorous
measures to prevent such outrages. Out of prudence, I
never go out except in a carriage. At the beginning, the
most extravagant measures were employed. Happily, the
Government has thought fit to modify them."—Messager,

SPAIN.
(From the French Papers.)
Fresh details, more unsatisfactory than those published
yesterday, respecting the affair of Almaden, and the pro-
gress of Gomez, have been received to-day. Brigadier
Flinter, who defended himself in a fortified barrack for
thirty hours, laid down his arms on the 24th, at nine o'clock
in the morning. The Commandant La Fuente, governor
of Almaden, held out until noon in the fort ; but was then
forced to surrender. Both these officers were made pri-
soners by Gomez, together with their soldiers, about 1,200
or 1,500 in number. The riches of Almaden have served
to increase still more the booty of the Carlist Chief. He
seized all the money belonging to the Royal administration
of the quicksilver mines, and took away the money chest
belonging to the receiver of the taxes. He also took pos-
session of the arms and war provisions which were in the
forts. On the following day Gomez had proceeded to some
distance from Almaden, and, on the 26th, he crossed the
Guadiana at the ford of Talarrubios, then marching direct
north, he arrived on the 27th at Guadalupe. It appears from
the intelligence last received that he was still there
on the 28th, at two o'clock in the afternoon. This
small town—celebrated for its sanctuary—frequented by
pilgrims coming from all parts of Spain, is situated at the
western extremity of the mountains of Toledo, twelve
leagues east of Truxillo, twenty five leagues from Toledo,
and forty leagues from Madrid. Gomez, by his attack
on Almaden, completely baffled the vigilance and strategic
plans of General Rodil. The Carlists remained there
from the night of the 22d until 3 o'clock in the morning
of the 25th, and nevertheless Rodil did not go to the suc-
cour of the place, or make any preparation to dispute the
passage of the Guadiana with the Carlists. Gomez, it
then appears, was on the 28th at Guadalupe, and Rodil at
Mohedas. Guadalupe is fifteen leagues from the Tagus,
from which Mohedas is only four leagues, in the direction
of Puente-del-Arzobispo. It is not as yet known whether
Gomez has continued to the north, in order to pass the
Tagus at the Arzobispo, or lower down, near Almarez ; or
whether he has proceeded towards the east. If he has
passed the Tagus it must be with the intention of me-
nacing Madrid, and overrunning the Castiles, or rejoining
the army of Don Carlos. If, on the contrary, he has gone
towards the cast, he then intends to traverse the north
of La Mancha, in order to regain the frontier of Va-
lencia, which he left not long ago. No mention is any
longer made of Alaix's division. Rodil states, that for se-
veral days past that General had ceased to communicate
with him. The Spanish newspapers, even those which are
generally the most moderate, fulminate vehemently against
Alaix and Rodil. As we have before said, they are de-
scribed as deserving capital punishment. The greatest anx-
iety prevails in the capital, which is only protected by
the division of Narvaez. Rodil concludes his despatch of
the 28th by affirming, as he has so often done in all his
other despatches, that the moment when the rebel band
of Gomez will meet with its destruction is close at hand.
Unfortunately this is the habitual language of the Queen's
generals at each fresh success of the insurgents.—Journal
des Dehats.

The following is from the Espanol of the 30th ult.:—
" It appears that Almaden has definitively fallen into the
power of Gomez. Flinter surrendered at nine o'clock on
the morning of the 24th. Fuente underwent the same
fate, but, if report may be believed, he surrendered to the
enemy only a corpse, having killed himself. Almaden, that
gem in the crown of Castile, that rich and productive town,
has been abandoned to the rapacity of the enemy. Ge-
neral Rodil, however, continues to trace on the map his
plans of campaign, which he will, no doubt, carry into
execution, when the population has been ruined, when
the Carlists are gorged with plunder. We are unable
to understand this obstinate inaction, and still less can
we comprehend how Gomez, embarrassed with his pri-
soners, and loaded on his march with military waggons
of every description, could escape the pursuit of so many
divisions, and so many Generals who combine their ef-
forts to come up with him, whilst Alaix, after taking
1,200 men at Villa Robledo, is unable to continue his ac-
celerated march. Nevertheless, he had with him a multi-
tude of National Guards, who might have been intrusted
with the surveillance of the prisoners. There was also a
convent, in which they might have been confined, and,
in a word, the Government was at a short distance, and
might have deliberated on the most suitable means of
taking advantage of such opportunities. The most tried
patience would be unable to tolerate such incapacity. Such
conduct is shameful, and the depositaries of power here
neglect the public interest in the most absurd and scanda-
lous manner. It belongs to the assembled Cortes to sub-
ject to the severest inquiry a degree of negligence which
alarms every good citizen. The following correspondence
from Andujar may give an idea of all the forces concen-
trated round Gomez :—Espinosa is at Cordova, Butron
daily drawing nearer to Andujar, San Martin on the road
to Badajoz, Rodil at Almadovar, Riviero at La Calzada,
and Alaix at Baden."
Extract of a letter of the 31st ult. from Madrid ;
" Public attention here has been much excited by what has
transpired by a secret sitting held by the Cortes on the
28th. The civil war was the principal topic of debate, and
a number of deputies spoke forcibly against the inexplicable
inaction of General Rodil. So strong and so unanimous
was the outcry on this point, that the members of the Ca-
binet were compelled to declare that they neither could nor
would oppose the impeachment of the General, if the news
of the taking of Almaden was confirmed, and it was offi-
cially notified that the General had not marched to the re-
lief of the town. A circumstance which renders the pos-
session of Almaden of the utmost importance to the
Government is, within the circumference of the town
are worked the celebrated quicksilver mines, farmed
out to the house of Rothschild. It is quite certain—
and Ministers alone now affect ignorance of the fact--that
Almaden was taken on the 23d by Gomez. If that chief
has destroyed or inundated the most productive mines in
Spain, the Government will be totally unable to meet the
engagements entered into with the Rothschilds. The ex-
penses necessary for renderini, the mines productive are es-
timated at 10,000,000. Nothing is yet known as to the
step which the Carlist chief may have taken with regard to
the mines ; and the same doubt and uncertainty prevails
on the subject of his march. Some suppose that he has
resumed his march towards Estremadura. In the same
sitting some confidential despatches from Espartero are said
to have been read, announcing that he is in want of all the
material means that might enable him to march to the re-
lief of Bilboa—a fact which, in the event of the raising of
the siege, would be the less encouraging, as an engagement
with the principal division of th Carlist army would
thereby be rendered almost inevitable. In the course of the
sitting, M. Cardero, a young deputy, whose violent opi-
nions are notorious, dwelt with great warmth on the inex-
plicable conduct of the Queen's Generals, and concluded
with a formal and most unexpected denunciation of the secret
societies, which be designated as the real cause of all the
evils with which Spain is afflicted. Great interest, indes
pendent of that excited by the secret sitting has been
created by some unexpected occurrences at Cadiz. When
the French squadron, consisting of six vessels of the line,
under the orders of Admiral Hugon, appeared in sight of
the port, the Governor, under pretext of the sanatory re-
gulations, refused to allow the ships to anchor near the
port. He even opposed the landing of the crews, vinl/41 i 4
said to have ordered the French Adrftimi..to—cst anchor
at the distance of more th'an cannon-shot from the forts,
and to take the station usually assigned to vessels perform-
ing quarantine, Without condescending to reply to this
imperious injunction, the Admiral merely withdrew his
squadron out of the reach of the guns, On the 20th, the

day after this altercation, two of the French vessels sailed
for Lisbon, and it is believed that the rest of the squa-;
dron will soon follow. At the first moment the attitude
of the French squadron after the provocation from the
authorities, produced a strong sensation, and the possible
immediate occupation of the port by the French naval force
might have proved the signal for a re-action fertile in poli-
tical consequences. Couriers have been sent from Cadiz
to the Government at Madrid, and the French Consul him-
self addressed despatches to the French Ambassador. Every
thing, however, appears to have been sincQ. arranged."
The illessa ger gives the following from Madrid :—" The
Finance Committee of the Cortes, which acts in concert
with M. Calatrava, but independent of M. Mendizabal, has
sent a certain M. Oarzuri to London, with full powers to
follow up the negotiation for a loan of fifty millions, opened
by M. Mendizabal. This step is said to have been recom-
mended by Mr. Villiers, on account of the credit of M.
Mendizabal having been lessened at London,in consequence
of the ill-success of the mission of M. Durou. The English
Ambassador has given M. Oarzun letters to Lord Pal-
merston and Lord Holland, requesting them to support the
measures of M. Oarzun, because the produce of this loan
he is authorized to contract, is specifically appropriated to
the defence of the Queen's Government, and the funds will
be paid into the hands of the Committee of Defence, ap-
pointed by the Cortes." The illessager adds that the
greatest hopes were entertained at Madrid that M. Oar-
zun's mission would be successful. He passed through
Paris on Sunday, travelling in all haste to London.
