%."aut, who ascended on Thursday from

Pe" of the balloon and the direction it took.
11,11 People expected him to take the course
44°re'en he did, as it was generally thought that it
be borne towards Harrow-on-the-Hill,
Itl, mge had an introductory note to a Gentleman
tut i‘r,t, Neighbourhood ; but as he ascended, he
111 4"'o a different current of air, which took him
Ivhim_Nore northerly direction. The sensations
Pate7.l;heor s experienced was what he little antici-
ayted ometimes the balloon appeared to be
PPo by a current from above, at other

times from one below, which so shook the car,
that the mountain barometer, although suspend-
ed to the cords above, was kept in such an oscil-
lating motion, that he could but just ascertain
that he was ascending or descending. Mr. G.,
in consequence of his engagement to the public
to ascend from the Belvidere, Pentonville,
was induced to descend before he got so
far as might occasion it inconvenient to get
the balloon conveyed to town in safety the
same evening ; as such, he opened the valve,
and descended, twenty minutes before two, in a
field of Mr. Lamkins, near Potters Bar, North
Mims. The car met the earth with considerable
violence, and although he had got hold of the
cords above to prevent a concussion, the car
struck the earth before he had time to raise
hia feet, by which he was thrown down, and
received a blow on his head with which he was
confused for some time. He was soon surround-
ed by a number of persons offering him their as-
sistance, among whom was Mr. Waugh, of Drake's
Lodge, South Mims, to whose very polite atten-
tion Mr. G. cannot make sufficient acknowledg-
ment. This Gentleman caused the balloon to be
conveyed to his Park, and after dinner sent for a
post-chaise from Barnet, which conveyed Mr.
Green to town, where he arrived in perfect safety
and good spirits about six o'clock, and is now en-
gaged in regulating the balloon for his next as-
cent.
