G N.E RI N's BALLOON.

E uncommon success which attended the first
ascent' of M. Garnerin, under circumstances of
such -peculiar danger and difficulty, had excited in
the mind of the Public the Utmost anxiety to wit-
ness his second 'experiment. He had announced his
intention of ascending on Saturday, to the height
of to,ooo feet, and of letting himself down by
means of a parachute. —The novelty of such a
scene in this country, rendered every one desirous
of being present.-4Thecelebrated Aeronaut had
advertised, that if the weather should prove un-
favourable, he would-postpone his exhibition; and
in point of fad, the stormy and boisterous night
of Friday determined- him not to risk his own life,
and deprive the Public of that gratification, which
could only be derived from a serene atmosphere.
The balloon and parachute • were affixed at L'ord's
Cricket,ground, Mary bone, and every preparation
made/for inflating the former. On Saturday morn-,
ing, the idea of an -ascension was.iiiii-ved, in con-
sequence of the wind having subsided, and the
Public, whose anxiety nothing could exceed,
crowded for admission into the place from -wheks,
the balloon was to be faunched.

The intrepid Adventurer had used every exer-
tion 'to repair -the darnage the Balloon
„had received
by some atrocious miscreant having cut the oilskin, '
of which it was' compoged. Every -thing would.

shower of rain precluded tie possibility of ascend.
