NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE RACES.—MONDAY.
There was comparatively but a small attendance,
which was to be attributed in some degree to the recent
change, which excluded Monday from the card of the
eek; and though this false step has been recalled its
consequences were obviously felt afterwards. The
weather was remarkably fine, and the racing excellent.

ILLNESS Or THE VICE CHANCELLOR Or ENGL.:UW.-
1-Es Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England did not sit in
his Court yesterday, in consequence of a sudden_attack of
illness. His Honour was expected yesterday morning as
usual, and the Court was opened at the customary hour of
ten o'clock, but about half past ten o'clock a message was
brought that his Honour was so indisposed as to be unable to
attend. Shortly before the rising of the Court of Chancery
yesterday it was 'said that the physicians in attendance had
expressed it as their opinion that the illness of the Vice-
Chancellor was of a serious, if not of, a dangerous, character.
His Honour Bat as one of the Lords Commissioners in the
Court of Chancery on Saturday, and it was noticed that he
had an unusually uneasy and excited appearance during the
sitting.--ticirertzser.
None are Po hard to please as those whom satiety
of Omura makes weary of themselves; nor any so readily
provoked as those who have been always courted with an
emulation of civility.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

A fire broke out yesterday evening, at about
twenty minutes past nine o'clock, at the Soyer Coffee-house,
1.10, Chancery-lane, in the vicinage of the Law Institution.
Fortunately from th© early period of the evening the, engines
of the parish, the London, and the West of England were
early on the spot. All the inhabitants were quickly got out
of the house, and nopersons were injured. The upper part
of the premises were totally destroyed, but the bottom of
the building was comparatively uninjured. According to
the account of the police on duty, it 'appeared that the fire
had been caused by a lodger in a state of intoxication having
ignited his bedclothes.

NOVEL AEROsTATIoN.--On Thursday evening last
a large concourse of persons was gathered,arotind Cremorne-
gardens and the Lambeth Gasworks, in' consequence of an
announcement that an inflated balloon, with a car attached,
was to be towed lip the river from Larnbeth to'Battersea. The
proprietors of Cremorne-gardens, finding that the charges of
the Lambeth Gas Company for inflating the balloon were
less than those usually paid, determined ao have their bal-
loon inflated there and towed up to the Gardens. One of the
Citizen steamers, gaily decorated-whir-flags-and streamers,
and with a brass band on board,. arrived at the Company's
wharf at 5 o'clock, and by means of strong ropes the huge
machine, with its car, containing four persons, was got on
board and secured, to the bows of the vessel. The funnel
was down, and every precaution taken to prevent accidents.
On arriving at Vauxhall-bridge the balloon was allowed to
.rise to a height of €0 or 70 feet, and, a rope being dropped
'from the car to the other side of the bridge, it was hauled
over. A similar process was :performed- at Battersea. The
great difficulty to be encountered was- the landing of the
balloon at Cremorne-gardens. As soon as the ropes on the
vessel were loosened the balloon commenced a rapid ascent,
which it requir.d the efforts of about 20 men to cheek. On
being suddenly hauled down, the car, containing three gen-
tlemen and a lady, appeared so likely to be immersed in the
river that a very hasty movement took place among its
occupants, who saved themselves from a disagreeable immer-
sion by throwing out a quantity of ballast. After a consi-
derable time the perverse tendencies of the machine were
conquered, and it was borne in, triumph to the centre of the
gardena,amidst.theelieera
.of an iriaruenae crowd and the dis-
charge of a_tidantity_of miniatnre artillery.
