harbour; when a desPeratte battle ensued between them and
the inhabitailis of the place, armed with axet, swords, and

At Narbeth Cattle Fair, on Monday last, there
was a large show of all kinds of cattle,, but the
sale 'Was not 'so "brisk as experienced at the late

the long dry weather appears to have occasioned
a scarcity of grass in thiequarter.

L'ERILOUS AEROSTATIC EXCLR.SION.

(Frog u the Buunka;ix Paper of Julie 3.).)

FURTFILit P‘ltTlC7C,LAßS.—Mademoi,elle az,t
Garnerin made nn the day before yesterday her
second aerostatic experiment. The balloon had
been previously infiated,that her departure might
be effected at the preeiSe hour. At six
o'clock the balloon Was about to be disengaged,
but the %.vind, which became stronger towards
the evening, agitated it so much, as to excite fears
that the young aeronant t.vOuld not imprudently
venture to ascend. She, however, soon ap-
peared in the boat with an intrepid counte-
nance, aill, waVing a white tang, ascended amidst
the applauses of en Ilitnlense multitude.
The Balloon was at first driven violtently
towards the South, and the crowd precipitated
theinSelvo towards the harbour, where precau-
-110115 had been taiien to pievent accidents, In a
few minutes the parachute was expanded, and
the boat was Seen to separate from the bai-
lout). No doubts wire then cut ertaiced drat

,descend sat-;
and well on the other bank of the river ; but some
variation in the air pushed the boat tOwards
the West, and slit was obliged to descend in the
middle of the river, a shot t distance from the Isle
de Ia Tiesne. The boat re,“ed on the water, but
her courage began to falter, *lien two boats, One
from Vimeny, anti the other carrying General
Papin, arrived to her assistance.

niGitT tIF SANCTUARY.—The city Of Cagliari,
in Sardinia, has recently witnessed ohe of those
crimes, the perpetrathrs of which seek impunity
in a church. A mat: irritated to the last degree.
by perfidious reports made to hint respecting the
condttct of hit wife, ran to the convent of a tuoßk,
Who Was pointed out to him ns not being a
stranger to the et-ithinal connexion. The enraged
husband, after having, given the sopposed authoc
of his shame two wounds with a knife, came back
to bit own hotise, and, in his jealous fury, dashed
his unhappy Wile upon the floor'. tie had now
committed two murders, and, in hit tear and agi•
tation, took refuge in a church. Dut the Go-
vettint of Sardinia, being itiftirmed of the circum-
stance, ofdered the criminal to be seized in the
church, where he sought an asylurb. An old woman
has been taken up on a Charge of having contri-
buted to inflame the husband's jealousy.

Drone, mentions tl►e discovery of au Indian stone,
which cures all venomous bites quickly, and
without pain, and the efi'ic►icy of which has beta
establisised by repeated experiment.

FORGSD NOTES.—Yesterday Inn Watson, a
young Until of genteel appearance; was taken to
Lambeth-Street Office for final examination,
charged with being a common utterer of forged
notes. Mr. Samuel Henry Leah, watchmaker,

his shop, dre,sed in vice a different style to that
in which he appeared before the Magistrate, anti
bargained for a silver Watch, worth tour guineas,
and offered 31. 10s. for ir, which being refused,
he left the shop, but shortly after returned; and
tendered 31. lOs. for it; '.;Teich was accepted, and
he went away. Soon after, it was ascertained that
the three notes were all counterfeit. Miss Sarah
Clarke, daughter of Mr. Clarke, of 82, Fleet-
market, brush-maker, identified the prisoner
as being the person who came to her father's
shop and purchased three brushes, for which he
tendered a one-pound note, in payment of half a
crown, and received the change. SeVeral other
witnesses, under similar circumstances; identified

the prisoner. The Solicitor of the Bank attendea
in support of the prosecution, and Also Mr. Chtist.;•
mas, the Inspector, on milli proved the whole of
the notes produced to be forgeries.--.-He was fully
committed for trial to Newgate.
