It seems certain that the cause of the balloon's taking fine
arose tro"in neglecting to close the opening of the lower part
of it, which being inflated too ninth at the moment of de-
parture, and of course becoming more dilated on ascendings
the gas'Wbich was emitted came in contact witlia match in-
tended for illuminating one of the fire-works.
The unlucky aeronaute fell on the top of the house No. IC,
Rise de Provence; the roof wan broken for the space of four
or fire feet in circumference. The persons residing in the
house were alarmed at the time from hearing frightful cries.
Madame Blitichard fell afterwArds from the toot into the street
and it is thought that this latter fall was the cattle of her death:
On being raised from the ground she groaned once or twice.
A shred,of the balloon was yet connkcted with the car. The
unfortunate victim was immediately taken in a chair to Ti-
voli, whensseveral physicians exerted themsefres for her re-
covery, 'tilt :without effect. She had experienced no injury
,•from the flames, and her clothes had not been even scorched.
Her hat and one of her shoes were found on the morning
after on the roof of the house. •
According to different reports, Madame Blanchard, who
was remarkable for courage, •hai.l :been much agitated by se-
rural unfavourable presentiments of danger. At the moment
of ascent abs said to one of the bye-standers, " I don't know
why, but I have not been easy all day."
The body has been carried from Tivoli to the Rue Cassette,
where' she had resided. Among her papers, a will ha's been
found, in which she appoints as her legatee the daughter of
one of her friends aged sight years. This .ascent, which has
been 'attended with such direful consequences, was her 67th.
She had •no children, and all her property; amounting to
50,0001. francs, devolves to the girl already mentioned, the
daughter of the proprietor of the house in which she lived.—
A collection has been set on foot in favour of her heirs, by se-
veral persons of distinction, who were present at the cata-
strophe; "which amounts to 3,000 francs. Her lamentable
fate bad such an effect on the persons who were in the
gardens, that all the amusements arising from the fireworks
were instantly suspended.

Let those who weeping tread this aisle,
And mourn +our-early doom,
1k calm in grief—to feel awhile
An anguish from the tornh.

3 wed Sisters sleep--ehaste model tell
To those who loult on thet,
That once, alas! they knew thee wcllt

In living purity.

Familiar features beans beneath
Their gazing—,vecping eyes—
Aud fancy bids 'cm think ye breathe;
And that your bOsoins rise.

Though marble, still thy forms impart
New pains to those who weep;
Till they forget the sculptor's art,
And hope that ye but sleep.

Alas ! when memory acts her part,
She cries " Vain hupe repose,
.To true I saw their breath depart,

Their lip; fur ever close."

. Then, wrapt in rays of holy light,
On thee let chgirs resound,
In honour of that pun: delight
Your souls in flear'n hare found:
