MR. SADLER'S'ASCENT from DUBLIN.

•.
In the annals or nerostatioNperit'aps there never
was a more successful or satisfactory display of the art than
that of Mr.•Sainzit, on NVedneeday, in the Coburg-gardens,
Dublin... The day .was peculiarly tine, the situation delight.
ful, and, the promenade of beauty and fashion crowded and
elegant. •
''he inflation of the balloon commenced at eight o'clock in
the morning, and before twelve.was completed with great ease.
The gas was supplied by the Hibernian Gas Company. At II
o'clock a small pilot balloon was liberated, which took a north-
west direction, but the wind was remarkably variable all
through. At twelve, a second -pilot veered to the east, and
anotherk a, short. time, before the grand ascent, to the north.
The balloon,: when inflated, appeared very beautiful in alter.
nate stripes of brown And green, with a corresponding zone ;
its diameter 34. feet,•snil 48 in heght. At two o'clock, the
car-being attache4, and the philosophical and other instruments
arranged, Mr. Sadler, whose cool intrepidity was remarkable,
seated himself therein, and his old companion, M. Levingstone,
accompanied him, when Lady Manners, led by the Right
lion. the Lord Mayor, presented a flag to Mr. Sadler, and ad.
dressed him audibly in the following words
"Mr. Sadler,, Lhave,the honour of presenting these colours
tOlyou ; and sincerely hope yox will have a safe, pleasant,
and prosperous excursion ; and I shall be very glad, indeed,
If the example of your enterprising spirit shall he productive
hereafter ef. advantage to your country, by leading to some
useful discovery.
Lady Combermere presented the second flag, " heartily
wishing ,him safety and success in this and all his honourable an.
dertakings." All being wow. ready, Mr. Sadler gave the word
to " let go," when at five minutes after two he ascended in the
most majestic style imaginable, amidst the enthusiastic ap.
please and admiration of the multitude; the balloon took a
northern direction and ascended rapidly„, the aeronauts waving
their flags, and answering their cheers by repeated bows. The
rays. of the sun glistening on the balloon in its altitude, had a
beautiful effect ; at this time it passed aireetlyover the city.
At fifteen minutes after two, it changed its course more to the
I.E._; it remained in view about half an hour, until " dimi-
nished to a speck." • •
TUE DEscErer.—The balloon descended in perfect safety,
at about four o'clock, in a potato field, between Rush arid
Skerries. The aeronauts were hospitably entertained by It.
Sharpe, Esq., at whose house it was deposited. In the even.
ing Messrs. Sadler and Levingston returned*, town.
