NIGHT BALLOON ASCENTS AT

VAUXHALL GARDENS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I have been a little surprised to find that whilst
the denunciations against the night balloon exhibitions
at Vauxhall-gardens have been dealt out with emphatic
and unmerciful energy,
yet that little labour has been
bestowed in endeavouring to convince the understanding
by adducing facts in corroboration of positive statements
and weighty charges. The case to my own mind seem-
ing simply to resolve itself into this—that a balloon in
the air, as well as several moving mortals and inanimate
things, became injured during a storm of thunder and
lightning on Tuesday week last. The disaster, which
happened between heaven and earth, seems so horrible to
contemplate, that one is apt to tremble at the thought,
and to be loud in outcry against the repetition of the
hazard ; but since this misfortune is pretty well unpre-
cedented and remarkable few mishaps can be
aught
tat
night. As well, I humbly presume, might we attempt to
demonstrate that it is " perilous foolery" to walk, ride,
or sit still, because persons, in one or all of these
positions, have been struck with lightning, or subjected
e in the air
forward to shrive the danger of a voyag
expect that as one of our brethren in arms had turned
in consequence to a narrow escape. Now, Sir, I did
Queen's evidence and admitted his folly (though, by the
with the principles of aerostation),
way, he styled himself originally more or less acquainted
seen specified something like a few
that we should have
solid reasons and
interesting statistics to clear up the matter in the esti
[nation of the scientific world without the shadow of a
doubt. But this, Sir, I believe to be impossible, for,
although a vast number of night ascents with fireworks

The long talked of sale by auction of Shakspere's
house at Stratford-on-Aron is this day announced in our
owner
n_l
on, for
written
columns, by Mr. Robins, who has been selected by the
representatives of
tion of transferring this singularly
to a new proprietor. A wide field is offered to the auc-
tioneerin "fancy's Sketch;" the style of the
advertisement to dinu l
is, to
n ou
spirit, and we have no doubt the description about to be
published of this unique property will be interesting to
everybody.
ALLRMING FIRS Ar Patmco.—Yesterday morn-
ing, at four o'clock, an alarmii g fire broke out at 73,
Vauxhall Bridge-road, Pimlico, in the occupation of Mr.
Soane, and had it not been so opportunely discovered, a
ithelarte opinion,
loss of life would doubtless have taken place. It com-
menced under the stairs in the kitchen, and rapidly
extended to the top of the house. The engines of the
London Brigade and West of England Company were
prompt in their attendance, and the firemen having set to
work most vorously, they soon got the mastery over
the flaws. he damage by fire and water, how-
ever, is cosidersble.
