The Nottingham Herald congratulates the freemen
of that town on the approach of an end being put to the frau-
dulent and nefarious system of mismanagement respecting the
Lammas Lands. " All the members of the old Municipal
Council of thirty-one connived at the peculation to which it
gave rise." The Reformed Town Council will, we have no
doubt, protect the freemen's rights after a different fashion.
The old system of brazen fraud and undisguised perjury will
be checked.

THE MORTLACH CASE.—The decision of the
Presbyter), which met at Mortlach on Thursday, is just what
we anticipated. The call was moderated in on Thursday.
Mr. Duncan, the agents for the dissentients, contended that
the veto and call should be signed together, in or der to avoid
the dispersion of the dissentients. This, however, was not
done. For hours before receiving any dissents, the call was
kept open. During four hours, 145 dissented; and, immc.
diltely thereafter, Mr. Duncan moved that the Presbytery do
adjourn till next day. This motion was supported on the
grounds that the market was held on that day, and, therefore,
many of the parties interested were necessarily compelled to
attend to their temporal concerns ; and, in consequence, num-
bers were deprived of the opportunity of dissenting. The mo-
tion, however, was negatived by a majority of nee 1 The case
reflects little credit on the parties who have opposed tie in-
terests of the dissentients.—Aberdeen Herald.

John Price while sleeping before the fire in the
harness-room adjoining the stables, had his clothes caught by the
flames while in that situation, and before he was discovered or
assistance could be rendered, was so much burnt that he died

PROGRESS OF EN! ANCI PA One year and
ten months after the Abolition of Slavery, 34,0001. have been
raised by the negroes for the release of one thousand of their
body from the obligations of the apprenticeship. When we
consider that the sum which a person so pays, is the proved
net value of his uncompensated services, over and above the six
millions five hundred thousand pounds sterling already divided
among the former slaveholders of this colony (which six mil-
lions five hundred thousand pounds is money laid down six
years in advance for the redemption of the slave), we shall
find that full value has been paid for the emancipation of the
bondsman. If at one year and ten months the average of the
money paid is 341., it is not too much to say that on the Ist of
August, 1834, the average was 401. 217,0001. on the number
of slaves who were recorded as apprentices by the valuators ;
this gives an estimate furnished by the Colonists themselves
eight millions .six hundred and eighty thousand pounds our.
rency, in addition to the six millions five hundred thousand
pounds sterling, or ten mitlioas ciiirrOney, already paid and
distributed, making an aggregate of money i,441 voilio in ser-
vices aftermotry paid more than eighteen millions for negro
emancipation in the island of Jamaica.—Falmouth (Jamaica)

INIV.I.ANCITOLY ACCIDENT, AND Loss OF THE BALLOON.
consequence of the announcement in the bills, that
Mrs. Graham would return to the Flora Gardens after her
descent on Tuesday night, a considerable number of persons
remained there until a late hour, awaiting her arrival, which
not having taken place at twelve o'clock, great fears were
entertained for the safety of the aeronauts, which we regret
to state have proved too true as far as concerns Mrs. Gra-
him, that lady having sustained severe injuries in her de-
scent, which took place in the neighbourhood of Brentwood,
Essex, about five o'clock.
Without entering- into the numerous reports afloat re-
specting.the unfortunate accident, we proceed to give the
following copy of a letter addressed by the Duke of Bruns-
Wick to Captain Currie (with which we have been kindly
favoured by that gentleman), which contains the only
authentic particulars known : •
" Converse Farm, near Brentwood,
Nine o'clock p.m., Aug. 22.
" My dear Captain—Uncertain whether you have or not
followed our balloon with Mr. Graham, as you intended, I
.address these lines to your house, containing an exact ac-
count of what has happened.
" After ascending a considerable height it appeared to
me as if the balloon suddenly became motionless, neither
ascending nor descending ; and, on my inquiring the rea-
sons of Mrs. Graham, she replied that, when she ascended
With is person who had never before been with a balloon
she did not like going too high, for fear the effect would be
dis'agreeable to him. I answered her that I felt no un-
pleasant effect whatever from the altitude we had attained,
and that I wished to get out of sight of the earth altoge-
ther. Mrs. Graham upon this threw out a considerable
quantity of ballast, and we then ascended to so high a
point as completely to lose
.sight of terra firma, for, al-
though I kept my telescope constantly to my eye, I could
perceive no trace of:it. I then remarked to Mrs-Graham
that the position in which we then were was much more
agreeable to me than when the earth was visible, the car
having the appearance of floating on the clouds, similar to a
vessel on the sea. Mrs. Graham at that moment drew my at-
tention to a most beautiful appearance in the clouds, which by
the refraction of the sun's rays, gave a perfect reflection of
the balloon and the car, with ourselves, adding that such a
phenomena was most extraordinary, and very seldom wit-
nessed. Much to my disappointment we soon regained
sight of the earth, when I again expressed a desire to ascend
higher ; but Mrs. Graham said she was afraid we had not
sufficient ascending power to do so that day. She then dis-
charged some ballast from the safety bag, but rather declined
to accede to my request to discharge all its contents, which
rendered its effect very slight, as we remained nearly in
equilibrium. Mrs. Graham at my request then explained
to me the management of the valve of the balloon. Shortly
afterwards I asked her if my rising on my seat to take off
my great-coat would disturb the balance of the car, but
upon her assuring Inc it would not, I did so, feeling it
very warm.

" From that moment, in my opinion, we commenced our
descent, although Mrs. Graham thought the contrary ; but
she was soon convinced of her error by paper being thrown
out. At this period Mrs. Graham asked me if I did not
feel considerable pain in my cars ? and upon my assuring
her of the contrary, she said I was possessed of very strong
nerves. I, however, soon experienced it to a very severe
degree.

" The balloon at this moment commenced twisting round
like a top in its continued descent, when Mrs. Graham
asked me. if it was disagreeable, saying •it was occasioned
by our having entered a different current of air. I replied,
that I did not much admire it, but that I felt no giddiness
from it. Mrs. Graham then threw out the grapple on one
side and the safety-bag on the other, the rope of which lat-
ter was so short that it kept dangling about half a yard
below the car, a circumstance which appeared much to dis-
satisfy her. She then asked whether it would make me
giddy to look down from the car and observe what the
grappling-iron was doing. I immediately did so, and re-
plied it had no effect upon me. She next inquired if I
remembered her informing me the balloon could be con-
verted into a parachute, and requested me to observe it was
then in that state. I then saw her mount upon her scat
and lay hold of the ropes which fastened the car to the
balloon. She desired me to do the same, observing we
were coming down rather faster than she wished. I fol-
lowed her advice, although deliberately, observing that we
were at so great a distance from the earth that I could nut
yet distinguish one object from another ; but I had
scarcely put myself in the position required when I felt
the car strike with the utmost violence on the ground and
overturn, the balloon itself touching the earth, and dragging
us about thirty yards, until it rose again. By the violence of
the shock I was thrown head foremost out of the car, at
the height of about 18 feet ; but I contrived to fall upon
my hands and escape uninjured. Having gained my feet I
had-the great grief of seeing-. Mrs. Graham' fall from the

car from a much. higher distance than I had fallen, and from
the apparently lifeless manner in which she lay, I was at
first fearful she was killed. I iminediately proceeded to
her, and found she had -fallen on her head, and was quite
insensible. Mr.. Moore, the farmer on whose grounds we
had fallen, with a number of his people, soon came to my
assistance, when the -unfortunate lady was conveyed to the
residence of that gentleman, Converse Farm, in the parish
of Dorsengest, near thq town of Brentwood, Essex, where
she still remains. I instantly desired medical assistance
might be sent for, and she was soon attended by Mr. Bar-
low, a surgeon of the neighbourhood, whose opinion at
this moment is that there is a serious concussion of the
brain, and injury within the abdomen, but, notwithstand-
ing her great danger, he does not despair of her life. Since
about five o'clock, when the fall took place, until now, I
have been staying beside her, and it is only within half an
hour, that she appears commencing the recovery of her
senses.

I wish you would inform Mr. Graham from me how
distressed I am at what has happened, and should he not
have heard of the accident, I must beg of you to prepare
him by degrees for this sorrowful event.
" The balloon, with my great coat, bat, telescope, &c.,
is I know not where. I saw it rise to a great height after
Mrs. Graham had fallen from the car.—Receive, my dear
Captain, the assurance of my regard, &c.,

" BRUNSWICK.
" Captain Currie, Cambridge-terrace."
When the above letter reached the residence of Captain
Currie by a special messenger, Captain Currie was on his
way, with Mr. Graham, to meet his Serene Highness and
Mrs. Graham on their return, and it was not until their
arrival at Brentwood that they became acquainted with the
melancholy occurrence, which, although broken by degrees
to Mr. Graham, rendered him almost frantic. They im-
mediately proceeded to Converse Farm, where Mr. Graham
remains with his unfortunate lady, who, we understood, was

Yesterday morning three physicians were called in, it
being feared that a premature accouchement would take
place, but, according to the last accounts received Awn
Mr. Graham, the symptoms had not etintiiitiod, and-she
appeared rather better,
The intelligence d the melancholy occurrence flew like
wildfiro through the metropolis, and during the afternoon
Mr. Graham's residence in Poland-street, and the Flora
Tea-gardens, were besieged by persons, including numbers
of the nobility, and gentry, making anxious enquiries on
the subject.

'0 subjoin the statement of Mr. Graham, which we
have received from another correspondent. It will be ob-
served that it does not exactly agree with the account in
the letter of the Duke of Brunswicl.l

MR. GRAHAM'S STATEMENT.
The balloon descended on Ow farm of Mr. Amor, at
Brentwood, in ESSQX, at which time it
was blowing a sharp breeze. The Duke of Brunswick
immediately got out of the car with perfect safety ; the
loss of his weight caused the balloon to ascend suddenly,
and the grappling-iron tore away from the hedge, which
Mrs. Graham hoped had been secure, and, catching in the
bank, caused a jerk, which threw her out upon the ground
from a height of several feet ; this was attributable to her
great anxiety respecting the Duke, whom she was looking
at, fearing; that the grappling-iron would strike him, And
standing in the car, without taking
_ hold of On am
happy to say that no bones nye hr4kon, and that she is in
q w:ty of reanvery, Nothing can exceed the kindness

Sir JOHN KEY, after a short consultation with Mr.
HOELER, said that it was a case that did not at all conic
within the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor, and the only
recommendation he could give was, that Mr. Gamier would
apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
either personally or by petition, when he had no doubt the
case would meet with that attention which it deserved.
Mr. Gamier then thanked Sir John Key for his advice,
and withdrew.
