THE ACCIDENT TO MRS: GRAHAM.—From an early
hour yesterday morning the most anxious inquiries were
made at the residence of Mrs. Graham, in Poland-street,
by persons of every class, into the state of that unfortunate
lady, whom, we regret to learn, remains in a most dange-
rous state ; great fears beicg entertained by Mr. Graham,
.from the delicate situation in which his wife is that she
will not ultimately recover the severe injuries she has re-
ceived. She still remains at Converse Farm, where one
or other of the medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood is
in constant attendance upon her. So determined was the
Duke of Brunswick on Monday last, to prevent any dis-
appointment .to his friends and the numerous company by
which the Flora Gardens was crowded, that while with
Mrs. Graham at the Crown Tavern, during the inflation
of the balloon, he exacted a promise from that unfortunate
lady, in the presence of Captain Cdrrie, that 1‘ t tl e weather
(which at the moment appeared rather unpropitious) turn
out whatever it might, she would make the ascent. The
balloon, the loss of which would be ruinous to- Mr.
Graham, he having been under art engagement to ascend
from Cheltenham on Friday next. (to-morrow). was only
manufactured at the commencement_ of June last. It con-
sisted of 842 yards of silk, which cost upwards of one hun-
dred and fifty pounds. The colours were crimson and
white in alternate stripes, of which there were thirty-two of
the length of seventy-eight feet each and forty-two inches
wide. Upon inquiry, at a late hour last evening in Poland-
street, we were informed that no further accounts of the
state of Mrs. Graham had been received since the morning;
but that intelligence bad arrived that the balloon had been
discovered, in a very shattered state, on a bye-road, many
miles from the spot. where the accident occurred.
The injuries which Mrs. Graham has • received are un-
questionably of a serious nature—being chiefly confined to
the head and spine. Yesterday afternoon it was reported,
but not from any authentic source, that the balloon had
been recovered after travelling more than 30 miles in the
direction of Colchester. Since Mrs. Graham has met with
her misfortune her family has, we are deeply concerned to
say, been visited with additional affliction, one little girl
having been dangerously burnt—another so severely in-
jured by a fall as to require her to be removed to Middlesex
Hospital. •

Mxsots. GREEN'S NEW' BALLOON.—The extraordi-
nari,lr large balloon, now building under the superintendence
of the Messrs: Green, which it is intended shall convey into
the aerial region no less than ten persons at one time, is
fast progressing towards completion, and will, it is expected,
be ready for ascending about the second week in September.
With the exception of the much-talked-of " Aerial Ship," it
will be the most stupendous machine of the kind ever made.
It will contain upwards of 2,000 yards of splendid crimson
and white silk. The gores arc each three feet nine inches
wide, and about one hundred and fifty feet long. Its cir-
cumference, therefore, when fully inflated, will be about 70
yards, or 210 feet. The first ascent will, it is intended, be
made from Vauxhall Gardens.

SALE OF A SLAVE SHlP.—Yesterday afternoon
the Captains' room at Lloyds was crowded with ship-owners,
masters, and others, to critness the sale of a captured slave
vessel, the last which can be exposed to public sale within any
part of the British dominions, all such vessels, by a recent Act
of Parliament, being in future to be broken up, and not sold.
The vessel sold yesterday was the coppered brig Cazador,
condemned to his Majesty in the Vies- Admiralty Court at
Gibraltar, as forfeited for a breach of the laws for the pre-
vention of the slave trade, and is now entitled to ,a British re-
gister in consequence. The advertisement for sale described
her to be " about three hundred tons, new measurement, and
can be re-named." She appears to be Portuguese built, of
Spanish hard wood, under particular inspection, from the great
care apparently taken in her construction, and to be about
seven or eight years old ; is about one hundred feet in length,
and twenty-seven feet in breath ; and about fourteen feet
berth. The rigging appears to be nearly new, the stores very
abundant, and many of the sails to have never been bent.
She is a beautiful model, and seems to have been built esp-
cially for fast sailing ; and from the statement of the officer
who brought her to England, very easy and particularly dry
at sea ; at present lying in • the West India Dock, Lime-
house-end.

BERNE, AUG. 15.—The arrest of Auguste Cheli
Conseil in our canton was an untoward event for the French
Ambassador. It is preyed now that Conseil was employed by
the French Government as a spy, and was known as such to
the French Ambassador. Why did the latter then claim that
he should be delivered up? If he were refused, he got an ex-
cellent pretext for quarrelling with our nation ; if his demand
were complied with, he had created a precedent for himself as
well as for other Governments—a pretext for demanding the
same favour concerning other foreigners they might wish to
have. Our eyes are opened now, and we understand perfectly
which are the principal features of the new international law.
An agent of the French police is commissioned to go to Swit-
zerland, where he speaks in public very disparagingly of
Louis Philippe, and in terms of the highest admiration of Ali-
baud, and invites all brave patriots of all the countries of
Europe to join in one common effort to overthrow the tyrant.
What can now be clearer than that the revolutionary ambu-
lator and declaimer is the centre of a large conspiracy, and
that the others are the conspirators ? Supposing the men de-
livered to the French Government, he will openly avow the
whole conspiracy in all its details; he will be legally

prison. If a man be paid for it, where, after all, is the harm
and publicly condemned ; and lastly, he will go really into
of going to prison? The-iystem, indeed, is very clever ; but,
unfortthiately, .in the case of Conseil the latter was not clever
enough-to understand that cleverness. Thinking himself be-

A few days since a man at Piddletrenthide t putwo
puppies into a tub of water for the purpose of drowning them.
After suffering them to remain under water about a quarter of
an hour, he buried them eight incises under ground in his gar-
den. About six hours afterwards, passing by
the spot, he
heard a faint whine under the soil, and immediately dug up the
dogs, whom he found alive ; he put them to the mother, and
they began sucking almost immediately ; they are now alive
and thriving-- Wills Herald.

theory.
