ASCENT OF sAoLFIR'S BALLOON.

[Farther Particulars.]
CHELTEWITAM, SEPT. prodigious con
course of people assembled yesterday, for the
purpose of seeing the balloon ascend; was simikr
to that of the day before. About ten o'clock, the
balloon and ear were removed front:the Assembly-
:rooms to the yard belonging to the Iron Railway
Company, at the extremity of the town, on the
Cloucester.road.
Abottt.l2, o'clock, when the necessary prepa-
rations were making for filling the balloon, the
wind beiog extremely boisterous, the poles to
which the balloon %vas to be hoisted) and other
temporary preparations, were unfortunately blown
down, and the commencement of the tilling of the*
balloon was retarded tillhalf past one o'clock.
Though the assemblage of spectators was 80
great, yet few comparatively paid for admission
into the yard to see the process of filling ; and
there is, therefore, reason to suspect; that Mr.
Sadler, unless indemnified in some other way,
will rather be a loser thati a gainer by the exhis
bition.
The balloon was made of white and crimson
silk, in the shape of a NVindsor pear, but not up-
on such it large scale as in first intended. There
was some impediment in the process of filling ;
but at last, -tit twenty minutes past four o'clock,
the power of the balloon was ascertained, by its
being properly adjusted, when it was the general
Opinion, that it had not power to rise with Mr.
Sadler.
After the ear had been 'properly fastened, Win-
dam Sadler, the son of Mr. Sadler, only between
1.6 and .17 years of age, entered the car, with all
the composure and firmness which his veteran fa,
they possesses. At a quarter before five o'clock,
every thingtPeing ascertained to be properly se-
cured, a sigoal was given, all the ropes Were
loosened, and the youth ascended with the great-
est fortitude, waving a .flag in the most exulting
manner, the multitude cheering him with repeated
buzzas. The balloon rose ire the most magnifi-
cent stile ; the atmosphere appeared to favour the
ascent, it being extremely calm at the time, and
the sky tolerably clear, the wind blowing A gentle
breeze to the south-west.
The balloon remained insight for-seven minutes,
then beemne obscured for five minutes, re-appear,
eel, and was seen at the TlOrth-east end of the town
:Oil half-past five o'clock.' mr.. Sadler set off in a
c'artiage to' follow the balloon, and his eldest son
On horseback, Various reports were brought
during the, evening and night of the descent. mr.
uclfcr ancl:liis eldest son 'returned here this morn-
ing,.about seven o'clock; with an account which
they bail: received, and which they thought could
be depended upon, that„-the descent had taken
Oace v ithin a Cetw miles of Chipping Norton, in
safety, and that the youth had returned in a chaise
and. tour to ("beheld-non ; but were ,greatly sur-
prised on their arrival not to find him.,
At at quarter before two o'clock the intrepid
youth arrived, to the great joy of hisanxionS fami-
ly.. lie came in a post-chaise froM Oxford; with
the balloon in it, and the cat' at the top.
