Mn. Genre's AccousT nr rtrx /Enter, Excunstox
ON TUURSDAY LAST.—At eight minutes past five o'clock,
we ascended from the Eagle Tavern; in the City-road. having
niade a rapid ascent on Tuesday, 1 was anxious, if possi-
ble, to proceed slowly en this occasion, with the twofold ob-
ject of gratifying the public, by remaining longer in sight,
and at the same time of affording to the companions of my
voyage a more ample opportunity of :viewing the various beau-
ties of that world which they had just left behind them. In
both respects I fully succeeded I if any satisfaction was felt by
those below, who marked our track through the vast vault of
heaven, I can answer for the gratification of those abeve.--After we had risen to the height of from. 800 to 1,000 fe4t, we
were borne to the eastward for some time ; but a fresh current
' of air then took us southerly, and we crossed the Thames con-
siderably below London Bridge. We had here a fine oppor.
tunity of tracing the course of the river in all its beauty, it
being then nearly flood tide. The shipping seemed to us like
a great forest, and almost every object was clearly discernible
7-though, from the immensity of distance, greatly reduced in
size. The villages of Liniehouse, Deptford, Stepney!, and
Greenwich, were quite as visible to us as we were to their in.
habitants, whilst the " great and mighty heart" of the nation
lay in the perspective, a confused and incongruous mas of
building. In about fifteen minutes from our ascension we
entered a stratum of cloud, which was uncommonly cold and
dense ; on emerging from this, we encountered a heavy shower
of snow of delicate whiteness, and peculiarly fine. The
ther-
mometer was here sensibly affected ; it stood at 30 degrees,
2 degrees below freezing point, and the barometer was at 24
degrees. Having been now nearly 40 minutes in the air, we
prepared for our descent. We landed on a fine grass field,
about five miles from Sevenoaks.

DesTnumvx FIRE.—At half-past three yes-,
terday afternoon a fire broke out in Strahan's-
place, Ball's Pond, Islington, which raged for 3
hours with ungovernable fury. , Maherly chapel,
with its rich service of communion-plate, &c. was
consumed, and so rapid was the progress of the
flames, that, within an hour and a bull of its
commencement,4 houses, exclusive of the chapel,
were destroyed. Three persona, belonging to the
Phrenix Fire-office fell victims to the devouring ele-
ment, besides a child about 4 years of age, whose
heart-rending cries having reached the ears of its
afflicted mother, she rushed through the flames
to its assistance, with all the solicitude of mater•
nal affection ; but, alas ! her efforts to prevent its
falling a sacrifice to their fury was unavailing.--
There was a great scarcity of water, and, owing
to the distance, it was some time before the en-
gines arrived. With the exception of the Chapel,
no pecuniary loss has been sustained, as the
houses were well insured.

You NG NAPOLUON.--TWO gentlemen, who
visited Vienna, were conversing in French nt a
public exhibition, when they were ovrrheard by
young NAPO bEox, who was present. Ile eagerly
asked if they were Frenciimen, and being an.
swered in the affirmative, laid his hand on his
heart, and said, " I also am a Frenchman; how
are all my good people in Paris ?"

The wool trade in De'ion and Cornwall con-
tinues in a very depressed state. The farmers
are holding out for such prices as the manufac-
turers state they are unable to afford ; and the
consequence is, that the latter are seeking
for supplies of foreign wool, which is said
to' be very plentiful in the London market. An
ostensive manufacturer in Devolstlire has lately
had too cargoes of wool from Loudon. At the
Bristol fair, this month, and which is the general ,
wool market for the west of England, not half a
dozen parks were sold Dimizes .Ga;ctle;)

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.7—.(Tyjs DAy.)

RECEIVING STOLEN LINEN.
James Martin, the keeper of a marine storti.
shop in Great Peter.street, was indicted for re.
ceiving divers articles of linen, the property of
Nathaniel Short, knowing the same to have been
stolen. There was another indictment of a simi-
lar nature against the prisoner.

Elizabeth Keerst', a laundress, stated, that on
the ISt of March she hung out II quantity of liar n.
to dry, among which was that described in the
indictment. In the course of the day sh, „d‘s, d
it, and gave information at Quvei,,,sq,:ire, to
i'slmsequence of a suggestion of Cooper the officer,
she went to the ptisoner's shop, and found the
property in a silk handkerchief, but which did
not belong to her : the linen was in a wet. state.
The property was produced and identified.
By Mr. At r,Er.—The property lost belonged
to two persons.

Cooper, the °nicer, slated that be took the last
witness to the prisoner's house, where he found
a person of the name of Roberts. Wit tress asked
the prisoner if he had any thing brought there ?
Ile said no. Witness then requested to search,.
and, while he was doing so, the prisoner appeared
anxious to conceal something, which turned. out
to be a bundle of wet linen. Wituess Said, This
is what I'm looking for." lie said." Is it ?",and
appeared confused. Witness said, "If you had
told me Roberts brought the parcel, I would
have taken Itior, and not you."
The prisoner said, that if Itoberts brought the
bundle, it was unknown to him.
Mr. ALLEY iledint4tl to examine the witnesses,
and subMitted if there was any evidence it were
to prove a, theft, and not a case of receiving, •
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Const) said, it was one
that must go to the:Jury. ,
Mr. ALLEY addressed the Jury at great length,
contending tinst; as the name of the, thief was not
known, for atm w as no proof that Roberts took
the bundle to the prisoner's house,—the
itetlict-
ment was therefore unquestionably bad ; for it
was not proved that the property was ever in the
prisoner's hands, or that he had purchased it.
The Chit" stunnthl4 up,. observed,

that he felt it his duty to exprevr that he coio-
cided, to a certain extent, with the, arguments
of the prisoner's Advocate. The Jury were,
however, to look at all the facts as,proved in
evidence, and if any doubt existed 913 their mind,
to allow the prisoner, the bertefit of it. . .
The Jury consulted- for about '2O minutesond
returned a verdict of ,Guilta.
The, prisoner was then tried:upon a second in.
'dictment, the evidence to support which, Via*
exactly similar :to the procodiug.—Verdict,
Guilty. ~
The prisoner's wife implored the Court -,to ha
merciful to her husband, but the Chairman re.
marked, that he had been tried last Session for a
similar offence, and narrowly escaped, and she
herself had been recently tried at the Old
Bailey.
The Comer sentenced the prisoner to be con.
fined twelve months on the Ist, and one month
on the td indictment, and kept to hard labour.

THE LADY IN SEAUCII or A flusuttin.----On
Sunday, at three o'clock, immense crowds were
attracted to Merrion.square, by an advertisement
that appeared in a Morning Paper, in which "

[mon u No. POST.]
The persevering system of attack upon the
ofnpaid Magistracy of England, pursued by a co.-
lain portion of the periodical press, is not, we
think, likely to persuade any considerable part
of the people that the general substitution of
stipentlary Magistrates would be a beneficial al.
teratinn. Although those who pursue this sys-
tem have probably no higher object in view than
that Of engendering and diffusing a spirit of dia•
content, its practical tendency is clearly
to-
wards the' alteration we have mentioned ; it is,
therefore, an inconsistency which would seem at
the first view to be unaccountable, that men
who in general appear to be actuated by a mor-
bid jealousy of the influence of Ministers,
should in this instance do their utmost to inspire
the people with the wish for a change, by the
first and most immediate operation of which
that influence would evidently be augment-
utl. This conduct, strange and inconsit-
tot us it unquestionably is, yet admits of
an explanation so easy, that a very, few obser•
vations will suffice to render its prmciples and
motives quite intelligible to our readers. Whilst
the Whigs continued to exist as a political party
lit the State, and had amongst thorn some men
of great and commanding .talent, their literary
partizans were necessarily obedient to the con•
troul and auxiliary. to the objects of the party ;
and at the Whigs were always permitted, by the,
wise and liberal policy of their political oppo-
'tents, to enjoy the full share of municipal or
ideal authority, to which their wealth or conse.
queue(' in their respective districts thee),
they had in common with the Tories a direct in-
terest in Istfiehling frontal{ I.lllwarriintabk attacks
that Magistracy of which they themselves formed
no inconsiderable part. There Was then, more-
over, constantly proceeding nu intense struggle
bet kV een men Of powerful and splendid intellect
--the giant champion of their respective par.
ties—for ascendancy in the political arena;--
to watch the"'daily progress of this animating
conflict—to proclaim and exult over every par.
tial and momentary ad vantoge, and to palliate
the disgrace of every renewed defeat of the Whig
-Leaders, afferded enough of employment—and
from the interest taken by the world at large in
this contest, and its sympathy with the mighty
spirits embarked in it—of beneficial employment
100—to the most hood& retainers of their cause.
We need not r say that this conflict was tertni•
nated by the extinction of the W higs
ticsl party in the State, nor stop to explain fur.
ther how their former retainers, thew at once de-
prived of their accustoined avocation, and freed
from that controu I, whether of authority or lute.
terest, by which they were before restrained, have
become the everlasting and inveterate assailants
of the Magistracy as n body. Again, (hero must
