BALLOON ASCENT.—On Monday afternoon Mr.
Gypson, the aeronaut, ascended from the Imperial Gas Com-
pany's premises, at Haggerstone, with his new balloon, to
which he has appended some machinery of novel construc-
tion, for the purpose of essaying the practicability of raising
or depressing the balloon at pleasure, without a discharge of
gas or ballast, whilst sailing in the air. lie was accompa-
nied by Mr. Crowell, t ditor of the ..Erostatic Magazine; and
the experimental trip was regarded with anxious interest
by the respectable company admitted to view it, for on that
day se'imight similar preparations had been made, but just
as the two gentleinen were ready to start. the weather be-
came exceedingly boisterous, and a pipe giving nay, the
balloon, after !waving and plunging at a fearful rate, broke
entirety away, leaving the car and the whole of the netting
behind, and fell in a field at some distance. The magnifi-
cent machine. however, now stood nobly erect, and when
liberated ascended steadily into the air, and crossed the
Thames towards Kent, the intrepid teronauts being seen
waving their flsgs, until they passed through a cloud and
became invisible.
THE LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY. The
anniversary festival of tins society took place on Monday at
the London Tavern, the chair being tilled by Lord Dudley
Stuart. The distinguishing feature of the society, which
has now entered on the sixth year of its labours, is, that it
extends relief in bread and coals to those who have been re,
duced to poverty and die; ress. Every subscriber has tickets
for the distribution of these articles to the full amount of his
subscriptions, and also of the contributions made by benevo-
lent donors to the charity. The result of the society's ar-
rangements has been such an increase in the funds of the
institution as to enable the committee to issue, during the
late winter, 4,700 tickets for bread and coals, being nearly
double the number that they issued during the winter of
1845-6. The collections of the evening amounted to nearly
3001. By the excellent arrangements of Mr. Stolworthy,
the secretary, and Mr. Braggiotte, and the other stewards of
the day, the dinner, which was served in the usual style of
the London Tavern, went off most pleasantly. There was
some effective singing under the direction of Mr. Hobbs.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—A detachment, consisting of
1 ser:,eant, 1 corporal, 1 bombardier, and 16 gunners and
drivers of the 4th battalion, left Woolwich on Monday morn-
ing, under the command of Captain Lyle, for Pembroke
Dockyard, to mount the heavy ordnance to be placed in the
new tOrtifications in that quarter. There are a number of
artillerymen already stationed at Pembroke Dockyard, but
not more than the duty requires. When the ordnance in
mounted the number of artillerymen will be increased.
