ACCIDENT TO PRINCE ESTERDAZT.—A eleven
o'clock on Wednesday rdorning, the Prince set out for Coombe
Wood, to take leave of Mr. Secretary CANNING; but on his
route, in an open carriage, through Little Chelsea, in adendea-
Your to pass a wagon and the Fulham stage, the carriage came
in contact with the latter, and was upset. The servant was
thrown from the box, under the wheels : and the Prince was
thrown out on his face. Assistance was immediately rendered,
and his Highness was conveyed back to the seat of the Em-
bassy. The Prince was much cut about the face, and bruised
in the side and limbs, but not seriously hurt. The Prince left
town yesterday morning for Paris.

MR. GREEN, TIIE AEROINAUT.—OII Wednes-
day last Mr. GltErrig av,ended in his balloon (the Coronation
Balloon), for the 29th time, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Mr.
Green was accompanied by a younger brother. The weather
unfortunately was not so favourable as could have been wished,
the atmosphere being thick and cloudy, which,
it is unneces-
sary to observe, was a great drawback. About a quarter before
who had paid for admission into a spacious
four o'clock the balloon was launched into the air amid the
plaudits of a considerable number of spectators (we should say
&c. was carried on. Owing to the state of the
tractaiou tofhg:5r0o0u);1 called the " Nuns' Field," where the process
y„rs, immense crowds of people
the balloon did not continue longer visible than about
three minutes at first; though, a little while afterwards, the
aeronauts, by permitting gas to. escape, descended to a lower
owfeaintifileart,ion,
elevation, and were again cognisant to the eye, waving their
were on
flags. There having been no experiment of a similar nature at
the alert in all directions to witness the ascent of Messrs-
Green ; and, we are happy I, to. add, that after a short voyage of
thirty-five minutes the intrepid adventurers descended in safety
in a corn-field near to Newbiggcn, distant from Newcastle
Newcastle for ten
about four miles. There was hardly any wind. It is rumoured
Mr. Green intends making a second ascent at Newcasle.
