ASCENT of MR. GALE'S BALLOON.
The public curiosity, which,had become more than
ordinarily excited by the announcement of the intended
a :ent of Mr. Gale, in a balloon of a novel constructioe,
from the grounds of the Rosemary Branch Tavern, at
Pa .kham, was gratified yesterday. Mr. Gale, %hose
name, though new in this country, as an aeronaut, is
well known in New York, and on the continent, ascended
at six o'clock, in a splendid balloon, made of silk ma'
nufactured in Spitallields, and of the largest dimensions,
being capable of containing 34,000 feet of gas. This
serial machine has been already described, and it lel
therefore, needless again to set forth wherein it differs
from the old and somewhat antiquated machines hitherto
employed in voyages through the skies. It has reser' •
voir,s to receive the disharg, d gas, is of a lighter eon'
struction as to the car, and is less encumbered With,
grapnels and other apparatus, and has an improvemen'
in the valves and other more minute parts. The ink'
tion was commenced at ten o'clock, with a pressure 0'
five inches, the gas being supplied by the Metropolitan
Gas Company, and measured by means of one of De"
frie's dry gas meters, of which the accuracy and the ex-
cellence are most surprising. By three o'clock, 28,90°
feet of gas had passed into the balloon, and it was in g
state to ascend ; but as the hour advertised for the
ascent was later, and as much company was expected to
arrive about five o'clock, the ascent was postponed till
later hour. Every preparation was made, and ancong*S
other accessories a capital barometer, made by Messr,4
Hume and Thornthwaite, by which altitudes can be
measured at the distance of three miles from the earth
with great accuracy, was placed in the car.
The ascent was a grand one, many thousands being
assembled to witness it, all of whom cheered Mr. GO
and his sole companion, Mr. Byrne, as they mounted in
the air. The balloon took a direction south-easterll,
passing, as far as could be conjectured, over the district*,
of Norwood, and making over those of Blackheathi'
When at an immense height in the air, Mr. Gale lower
from the car in which he and his companion were sea;°'
another car, which having descended about 25 feet, Mr'
Gale made his way into it by means of a rope ladde.
This perilous exploit was beheld with astonishment, O°C
without fear, by the spectators, but was performed il,l
an admirable manner, and the aeronaut having reached
the lower car in safety, sent off a sort of dell or fire.
work, composed by Mr. Mortram, of well-known PYr°-
technic celebrity, which exploded with a very loud
port, and thei?proceeded to discharge a series of shell
or petards, attached to the lower car, but which (16"
scetided a considerable way before they burst, and Pre'
vented any danger to the balloon.
This ascent is certainly a curious variety in aerost!:
tion, and removes the monotony of a parcel, of peon;
going up in the clouds at dusk and coming down a litut.
after dusk, to the amusement of nobody but themselfe"'
and the indifference of all but the very idle and le);
rant. From the construction of the double ear a nutnild,
of experiments may be attempted, and some aid afforded
to science. It is fair to say that the arrangements We
well made, and that praise is due to Mr. Smith, the
proprietor proprietor of the grounds, for the manner in which tP
whole was conducted.
