AGAIN !

All London poured forth its denizens yesterdir
along the banks of the Thames, to witness the transit
from Lambeth to Cremorne-gardens of the Royal
Cremorne, now re-christened Royal Normandy 1351.
loon, in the Citizen steamer A (or Mercer), Captain
Cud well, who had the honour of conveying his Royal
Highness Prince Albert to the Coal-Exchange. The
sight was a most exciting one. The balloon was in-
flated at the London gas-works, and at five o'clock
was launched from the wharf on to the steamer, hav-
ing in the car the Gallant Lieutenant (who, from his
recent unexpected trip across the Channel, was an
object of extreme interest to the spectators), Mr.
Goulston, Mr. Van Buren, and Mr. Dean. The boat
was tastefully decorated with flags, and accompanied
by Lewis's celebrated brass band, led by Mr. Chap-
man. The first grand effort was the partial ascent
from the steamer over Vauxhall-bridge, and descent
again into the steamer, in the performance of which
the venturous occupants of the car narrowly escaped
a ducking. After same trouble, amid the vociferous
remonstrances and instructions of Mr. Gale, the
balloon was again on the deck of the steamer,
pursuing its steady passage along the Thames,
and acting as a foresail to the vessel, the engine
remaining passive unless for steering purposes
all through the voyage. Having played at leap-
frog, as it were, with Battersea-bridge, the next task
was the invasion of the gardens, one of no ordinary
difficulty, the ornamental entrance and large trees
presenting obstacles to a triumphant undamaged
entrée into the gardens. Nor were these obstacles
surmounted without slight injury to the bal!om and
material damage to the entrance. The car struck one
of the lamp-posts, and bent it as if it were a sugar
cane. The Lieutenant then threw out some ballast,
and obtained an ascending power, at the expense of
an entanglement amongst the branches of the lofty
trees on the Cremorne-lane side of the grounds.
Eventually a landing was effected amid the cheers of
the multitude, whose exclamations were accompanied
by the band playing " Rule Britannia." On board
the boat were Mr. Simpson, the director of th e gar-
dens;.t Mr. Burney, the superintendent of the

" The author, we are ,onvinced, is yoring, otherwise we could

half of his heroes and heroines. lie Is a wrier of genius, inspired

Of the purest sort of fame. We gather this frcm the glowing lan-
guage in which he empresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dis.aelis, Man-
nerses, and Sinythes."—Observer.
" Silvvood' is no ordinary work ; It contains passages of exceed-
ng beauty, and Is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
rave given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicnons parts in the tale are
.f:Lcrence Howard, an intelletual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
'filaitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
