EXTRAORDINARY AERIAL TRIP.
ARREST OF LIEUTENANT GALE AND DETENTION
OF THE BALLOON BY THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES.—
It having been announced that yesterday evening Lieu-
tenant Gsle would ascend from the Gardens of Cre-
morne, in his balloon, after a trip along the river, many
thousands were assembled fur the purrose of witnessing
the sight, and much disappointment, not unmingled with
anxiety, was evinced, upon an acnuncement being made
by the proprietors of tlse gardens exhibiting a doubt of
the safety of the aeronaut, and that the balloon, in place
of being at Cremorne, was supposed to be somewhere
upon the French coasr. About half-past nine, however,
all doubt was set at rest by the arrival of a post-chaiae,
containing Lieutenant Gale and Mr. James Goulaton,
the proprietor of the balloon, and almost immediately
after Lieutenant Gale, from the orchestra, addressed the
audience, giving the following explanation. It ap-
peared, from his statement, that he had been en-
gaged to ascend from the Swiss Cottage, Shore•
ham, on Monday evening last, and than, notwith-
standirg the wind was seaward, at seven o'clock
that evening he, in his balloon, left that place; that he
was blown oat to sea, and continued in the air till after
ten o'clock, the night being very dark; that, finally, he
observed a revolving light, and being fearful of enter-
ing the German Ocean, and uncertain as to the
locality, save that he was over the sea, after about three-
qua-tcrs of an hour's anxiety, his grapnel-iron struck
upon a rock, and he descended at Creel, a village 16
miles from Dieppe; that ultima•cly, after wandering
about the cliffs all night, he was arrested by the gen-
d'armes as a supposed conspirator from Boulogne, and
taken before the Mayor, but was finally liberated by the
English consul (Mr. Chapman), although his balloon,
from c. me unexplained cause, was detainf d by the French
authorities. The Gallant Lieutenant left France at 9
o'clock on Wednesday morning, arriving in London by
the Brighton train. In conclusion, he observed that no
aime could attach to Mr. Simpson, the director of the
Gardens, for any disappointment the public might feel,
he knowing that Mr. S. had offered Mr. Graham 50
guineas f.;,r the use of his balloon that day. Lieutenant
Gale, who appeared very much exhausted, was repeatedly
interrupted by applause, and upon leaving was loudly
chtered.

HEARTLESS DISPLAY OF POLITICAL
FEELING.
SUDBURY, JULY B.—lncredible as it will appear to
the world, it is 3 et a tact, that whilst the two Houses of
Parliament, the Halls of Commerce throughout Eng-
land, and even the Legislative Assembly of France,
were resounding with expressions of regret and honour
to the memory of the statesman so suddenly removed
from UP, the bells of the parish of Bures St. Mary were
ringing a merry peal, at the expense, we are in-
formed, of a great farmholder in the neighbourhood,
who adop:ed this method of displaying his joy at the
event ! The occupiers of the parish, we understand,
were no parties to, but would have revolted from such
an indecency, unparalleled, we trust, in any place in
En4l.lnd, though we have heard of an attempt in ano-
ther place, in an hour of excitement, to send round the
crier with the news that the farmer's enemy was at the
point of death. A pleasing contrast to the above exhi-
bition of feeling was manifested by the worthy vicar of
All Saints Church, in this town, the Rev. C. Badbam,
who on Sunday morning delivered a most impressive
and interesting discourse upon Psalm 82, verses 6 and 7,
"I have f aid ye are gods, and all of you are children of
the Most High. But ye shall die like men." The rev.
preacher left out all topics relative t) the political con-
duct of the deceased Baronet, but passed the highest en-
comiums on his Christian and private virtues."—Bury

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, JULY 10.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
A general meeting of the members of the squadron
will take place on Friday next, the 12. h instant, at the
6qualron House, when there are several candidates to be
ballotted for, and general arrangements made for the
coming regatta.

A fire took place at the West Medina Mills, near New-
port, on Monday night, which for some time threatened
the destruction of those extensive cement manufactories,
but it vi as fortunately got under after destroying the
cooperage, without doing much other damage, or extend-
ing to the main buildings.
The brig Fort Augustus, Holmes, of Shiels, from
Newcastle•, with coke for her Majesty's establishment at
Osborne House, fell over and filled this morning. She had
hauled in to discharge at East Cowes quay in the night;
her north-west anchor came home, and she grounded on
a bink; at low water this morning she fell over, and
now, four Ent., lies on her broadside.

AQUATICS.
TOWER REGATTA.
This interesting, well-conducted annual regatta took
place on Tuesday, and, notwithstanding the unfavour-
able state of the weather, was extremely well attended.
Tho pHs, was a new skiff, to which was added some
money for losing men, the second receiving four guineas,
the third three, and the remainder 11. ss. each. The
subscribers were the officers in the Tower, and the influ-
ential residents and merchants in the vicinity. The race
wus in four heats, with six scullers.
