" THE ROYAL FAVOURITE," a title in itself suffi-
ciently exciting, will derive new interest from the fact, that it
is not only a story of the day„but literally to the hour and the
moment, containing a thousand piquant anecdotes, and vying
with the best memoirs of cur times in historical portraiture.
The wit and good breeding exhibited in these sketches of the
highest life, demonstrate in the author (Mrs. Gore) talents of
the highest order.
DESCENT OF THE BALLOON.—About twenty minutes
to eight o'clock Mr. G Green ( who had ascended from the
Albert Saloon about half-past six o'clock), having reached an
elevation of about 3,000 feet, made preparations for his
descent in the usual way, by allowing the escape of gas through
the upper valve of the balloon. Finding as be approached the
earth that he was about to alight on a corn-field, he flung out
some ballast, when he cleared it. By this time a number of
the inhabitants, upon seeing the position of the aeronaut,
afforded simultaneously their assistance, and laid hold of the
rope to which the grappling-iron was attached, when it was
safely brought to tetra firma on a grass field in a hamlet called
Kidderborough, between the rear of Mordon College and
Woolwich-common, the property of-Mr. Pope, the extensive
coal-merchant, and who is a farmer, residing there. An ex-
press pigeon being dispatched (and which arrived at the Albert
Saloon in about halt au hour), the balloon was released of its
gas, when Mr. Grren, with Mr. and Mrs. Brading, were in-
vited to the residence of Mr. Pope, where they were bounti-
fully regaled, he having also offered to forward the balloon to
Vauxhall Gardens, where Mr. Green ascends this day. Mr.
Green and Mr. and Mrs. Beading reached the Royal Albert
Saloon about half-past ten o'clock, where they were received
with loud cheers. Subsequently Mrs. Brading delivered a
poetic address upon her retirement from the stage, in which she
alluded to her first appearance as an aeronaut.
WILFUL FIRING OF THE WHITE HART INN, AT
Haterrroit.-sercic.—At Staines Petty Sessions, yesterday, John
Henry Davidson, a young man, about twenty years of age
ostler at the White Hart Inn Hampton-wick, was charged
with having wilfully set fire to his master's premises. Mr. John
Baker deposed that he kept the White Hart Inn at Hampton-
wick, and the prisoner was in his service as hostler. On the
evening of Saturday, the 2d instant, about nine o'clock, witness
was in his bar, when he heard the back door opened, and on
looking towards that door, saw some person going out. Wit-
ness immediately called to a boy in the passage, and inquired
who it was going out, when the boy replied that it was John
the ostler. Witness then told the boy to go out and see who
it was, but witness had to repeat the order three times
before the boy did so. He. however, then went out, and
almost immediately returned, and called out, " Master the
loft is on fire." Witness instantly ran into the parlour and
told the customers, who ran out with him and assisted him in
putting out the flames. On afterwards examining the loft,
witness found that it had been on fire in two places. On the
previous Tue.day, a most determined attempt had been made
to set fire to the inn itself, by setting fire to the beds in two
separate bed-rooms, which witness fortunately succeeded in
extinguishing. On Sunday, the 3d inst., witness' with a
policeman, again examined the Tuft, and discovered, tucked
into a hole in the feather-edged boarding, a small whisp of
straw, containing inciter matches, and a small whisp of straw
placed on the inside against it. Other witnesses were exa-
mined, whose evidence corroborated that of Mr. Baker, and
tending in some degree to criminate the prisoner, though his
attorney strongly contended that there was no case against
him. The magistrates, however, thought the circumstances
sufficiently suspicious to warrant their sending him to prison
far trial.

A little girl, who was crossing the Lancaster and
Preston Railway last week, when the train was approaching,
was knocked down between the rails by the buffer of the en-
gine, and the whole train of carriages passed over her without
doing her any harm.
FATAL CART ACCIDENT.--On Monday Mr. Joseph
Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospitsl on the body of
H. Stevens, aged fourteen years. On Saturday last the de-
ceased accompanied a cart, belonging to Here's Dundee-
wharf, Wapping, to Leadenhall-street. and, whilst waiting
there the arrival of another vehicle, he seated himself
upon the shafts, holding the reins, when the horse moved
on, and he fell, and the wheel passed over his body. He
was immediately extricated by some by-standers, and
conveyed to the hospital—Verdict, " Accidental death.
