THE OPERA.

The Opera of Armida was repeated on Tuesday
night to a very genteel, and, considering the late-
ness of the season, a very full'house.—BANTl was
well received; and encored in the beautiful Duet
with VIGANONI. There was 'some mistake in the
last scene, the shower of fire was over before the
Enchantress had finished her Song.
The beautiful new Ballet of the Siege of Paphos,
followed, and was received throughout with the
greatest" applause: The charming PARISOT made
her second appearance, and looked and danced most
delightfully. She appears to be perfeCily recovered
from her tedious indisposition, which so ling de-
prived the Public of her graceful performance. The
Stage was not incommoded by drunken Loungers.

LAW REPORT':

COUR r Ok KING's BENCH,

SITTINGS AT GUILDHALL, JUNE 29.

FOSTER V. JOHN ICING.

Tx' is was an Ataion on a Bill of Exchange for
500'. accepted by the Defendant, one of •the Pro-
prietors of the London and Dublin Union Bank,—
The Defence to the Aftion was, that Mr. King,, at
the time the Bill was*accepted, had withdrawn
fr'om the Firm. This, however, did not appear to
be the case, and the Jury found a verdiet for the
Plaintiff.

WEDNESDAY, JUN: so.
`AWARDS.

Mr. WOOD moved for a Rule to spew Cause
why an Award should not be set aside, on the
ground that it appeared on the face of the• Award
itself, it was made for a bad reason, and therefore
ought to be set aside. No Arbitrator was bound.

to assign a reason for making his Award, but if
he did assign a reason,. and that' reason was a bad
one, it entitled the Party .who disliked it to come
to the Court, and to ask that it be set aside. This
was an Aftioc brought by the Plaintiff, who was
the Owner of a Ship, to recover of the Defendant

the value of it, on account of the Defendant's Ship
having run down that of the Plaintiff; which Cause
was referred to Arbitration. The Parties attended

the Arbitrator, and the Case having been gone
through, the. Arbitrator took time to make his
Award, in the course of which he recited many ,of
the circumstances of the Case, anti ,stated that he
had consideredthe law both antient and modern as
it related to maritime affairs, manyidiCia froth which
he quoted, and concluded with stating, " That" he
despaired of giving satisfadion to all .Patties ; that
he found ,there gulls no neglitence en either side, and
therefore he ordered that the Parties should bear
-the whole loss, costs, tke. equally between them."
This was bad reasoning, aril wascontratylo-
bee:it:lse if there was no fault aby.where, the loss
ought to be sustained by the Party on whom it was
cast by the accident. Mr: 'Wool) said, that the
title Of. the Cause in which he moved was Kent rv.
Estoff, and if .the Cotirt desired it he._ would state
the named the Arbitrator also': but Lord Ett,EN-
aoitotiem said, perhaps it would be better not to
state the name of the Arbitrator, since that might
spoil his trade;

Rule granted to chew cause why the Award
should not be fietaside.

On Friday eveping-• as Mr: • Samuel Corbitr, of
the flermitage., and Mr. Grice, of Rotherhithe,
were returning from Gravesend, they were stopped
on Blackheath by two footpads,.. who presented a
pistol to each gentleman,. and-robbed Mr. Cor-
hitt of his watch, and about 2,0. and Mr. Grice
of•near 61. ; when Mr. Corbitt, with, great coin-
posure of mind, informed them they had not 'a
sixpence left to proceed to Town, and begged as a
favour they would return a seal which was on. the
chain, being one left him by his father. 'The rob.
bet immediately broke the chain in halves, return,
ed it, and wished_ him safe to Town. A Post-boy
in a return chaise, in the course of a quarter of an
hour overtook the Gentlemen, and infortlia them
he had been robbed also. •

On Sunday morning, at two o'clock, NATHAN rE L
CONANT, Esq. one of the Magistrates, attended by
the tifficers, entered a gaming-luiuse in Pall-Mall,
anti found a number of persons assembled there, for
the purpose of playing at Hazard and other, games ;
the implements for gaming were seized by' the Offi-
cers, and the parties found were taken into custody,
and were examined at the office on Monday Morn_
ing, before the same Magistrate, who direfted them
all to find sureties, as we'll() appear at the Sessions,
as :to be bound not to be found -at unlawful games
in the mean time. The owner of the house was
arefied to be, prosecuted for permitting such trans-
adions to, be carried on.
On Sunday lair, as Mrs MoLtxt's•'wife and
daughter Were going from their' house at Stratford-
Green, Essex, to Plaistow, in their chaise, the horse
took fright at Upton, and by kicking, in his efforts
to extricate himself, unfortunately broke both the
legs of Mrs. -Molirrlt in the most dreadful manner.
Every assistance was instantly afforded by A. MAX-
I'S k LD, Esq. whose house they were passing at the
time ;-and Mrs. MOL INI was carried homes where
she lies very ill.

Account .of his Aerial. Voyage. -

lc t•Aitt4Eit TN owesi to the anxiety and inreig
test with which thaublichas kindly honolinid him,
by the numberless inquiriOS made at the P.autheirni
scrure•par ticulars-of his atmospheric journey.
The morning of the 28th, although rainy, setmea-
nevertheless to presage favourably: NI. GAR. g..
R ,rl4 made, in that hope, his.chetnieal appar..t us work
for the extraction of the inflammable gas.. file Bal--
' loon was filled in regular time, though much tu,.,sed
about by a very high Wind.. • ~ ..._
At one o'clock it Was fill, and ready .to Carty
passengers, and provisionsi From one o'clock r ill
half after four, the wind blew a hurtic.inei Had
M. GARNER IN been then happy enough to avail
him,eif of former successes in this C,,u,-;try, 'most
likely he would, with 'pleasure, have acqu.ese-d irt
the general and 'unanimous solicitations ui iii. hi-1..•
liant assemblage of rank and: faihiori, wilt: increaied
him not to attempt his ascei.sion in such Inister, us
weather,. whose fury was less to be apprthe:ded at
..
the moment of leaiing the earth Than at the time of:
landing. . . •i • . . ,

L,:iiiced by such powerful'clngiderations, M, G.
I urged Capt..SownEN, his etavelling companion, to.
desist from his intended journey, as he-voi)ceived it
was his duty to run alone the dangers of the day,
since nothing but mere. couriosity could have in.„
duced'him to undertake this peiiious excursion.---;'
Capt. SOWDEN, notwithstanding .Mr. repre.
sentations and entreaties, listened to his courage
only,•which triumphed over the obvious difficulties
he had to encounter. From half after four till five,
a few showers of rain fell, andcalmed fi;r a few:mb-
ments only the violence of the,wind, which alit r_
wards raged with increased fury. At five precise-
ly, the travellers mounted the atrial car : each
them unfurled, and waved the ColourS of their re-
speaive Nations, which they re-united, as a syni.
bol of alliance and amity. No one can doubt, at,
stiCt'a juncture, the sincerity ,thus expressed'hy two
brave defenders of their Country, whose for
Peace was visibly felt.

The galloon having been carried round the ring,
the travellers, placed in the car, took tlieir leave
amidst the plaudits -and anxious good wishes of the:
surrounding company, and sprung majestically- to.
wards the celesfiai regions, where the raging winds
seemed then to be the rulers,

The inhabitants of London had then an opporru.
nity of seeing the standards of all nations with
'which the Balloon was dressed rising proudiy .froni•
the borders of the Thames, and losing them-ek es:
in the immensity .of space, and in the same in.inmtr
as they were seen on the 18th Brumaire, (9tn of
November), springing from the very bosom of the
Seine, ar Paris.

At the moment of departure, the balloon directed
its course across. St: James's Park, Aid went over
the river between Westtninster and Blackfriar's-
bridge: Perceiving then that the aerostatic venicie
was descending, Mr. G. threw out soine ballast ; he
then rose much above St. Paul's, and the travellers
had an opportunity of viewing at one sight the
oeautifui city of London and its suburbs. The
tempetatnre was already rg degrees colder. Mr.
G. and'Mr. S. felt quite • Lond'on soon dis-
appeared by crossing a cloud, which, being stir.
mounted, made them likewivse lose sight of the
earth. The temperature was milder. The inf/am.•
triable air. began then to diiate t and the aeronauts
provided' the means of safety f?), proctring- every
necessary emission of air. ~ Dinner was then intro.,
duced, and eaten with pleasure and appetite; at the
desert, Mr. G. informed Capt. S. that their jour-
ney was drawing to a conclusion, and it was neces-
sary to prepare for a descent extremely hazardous,
3n account of the excessive violence of the wind,
which was likely to precipitate the travellers and
the machine on the trees! on the hedges-, on the
houses, and, in fad, on every thing that Would ob.
strut} their passage'.
The travellers had been exptiring the atmosphere
upwards of half an hour only, and having no idea
..of being at such a distance, thought it nevertheless
expedient to come down. N.4.r. G. opened the sort_
page, o'r aperture of his Balloon, to- cross again the
same cold and dark clouds already mentioned. The
earth became visible as well as. the sea, which they
saw very-close, an arm of which they even crossed
in various parts. The - anchor and cordage were
ready for landing ; the fury of the wind made the
Balloon bounce from place to place as it grounded!
and -dragged the travellers through fields, trees and
hushes, by which their hands were torn to pieces.
The- anchor noW and then caner ground, and
fastened at last to a hedge near a house, whose in.
habitants, frightenth at the sight of the aerial may
chine, not only declined to give assistance, but ac-
tually offered to fire on the venturesome Travellers.

--
At this jundure, the tope that fastens to the anchor
broke, and the machine was carried with addi-
tional violence against a tree, by which Mr. S. re;
ceived a severe- blow on the head. The Balloon,
however, having been torn in the lower part, both
the cords and netting of the railing of. the car
broke, and the wind again forced away these Gen.'
tlemen from the tree they were strongly clasping,
but with the assistance of a new though last oter.
tiou, the aerials had an opportunity of leaving the!
Car4and Balloon, which fell 'upwards of 300 yards
further..

Mr. G. and S. were-then four miles beyOnd
chester; they went over
,Epping Forest,
,Btc. and
perforThed this long and arduotis journey, in the
short space of three quarters of an hour.
Mr. G. mentions 'in the handsomest terms the
courage Capt. S. evinced in this new instance, and
with peculiar expressions of gratitude and acknow.
ledgments of Ore perseverance with which he volun-

tarily shared the dangers attending their landing, as
he could several timeshave extricated himself trom
.the car, which he never thought of leaving 'without
his- pilot. . _

Fie ,has . unfortunately received some contusions ;
but we are happy to hear, that they are of nu con.

sequence.

The remains of the Balloon are now exhibiting '4
the Panti,eon, with the Aerostat and Parachute, with
which Mr.• G. is to make his new experiment at
Loan's Cricket Ground next Saturday, if dm wc.
tier permits.
