Mr. Penny, ascended with his balloon from the Golden
Eagle, Mile-end, yesterday afternoon. It soon entered
a cloud and was no longer visible. The Aeronauts ex-
perienced all the vicissitudes of rain, snow, hail, and
sunshine, and at length safely descended at Mr. Allen's
farm, near Wimbledon, about ten miles from London,
from whence they returned in a chaise and four to the
Golden Eagle, at Mile end, where they arrived about
eleven o'clock, amidst the cheering of the multitude.

unufe, ha atrailed himself of the first favourable situation for
landing, which was effected with ease and safety, in a field within
three miles from Newcastle.

CATHOLIC MEETING iN DUBLIN.

A numerous Meeting of Catholic Gentlemen was held on
Monday, at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, at which Mr. Stephen
Wolfe presided. Sir Jobn Burke, on a Resolution having been
movkd, that an Aggregate Meeting should be held, recommended
that it should take place on a distant day, that the Meeting might
have the co-opvration of Lord Gottnanstoun, Lord Killeen, Mr.
O'Cor;t.ell, and other Gentlemen, now in London. In the course
of his •speech be said, from all he could collect, it was probable that
some ulterior measures respecting Catholic 'affairs would be brought
forward this Session to the House of Commons. Mr. Spiel and
fir. Magee, and others, were of opinion, that an Aggregate Meet-
ing should be held without delay ; and after some further discus-
sion, it was ultimately arranged that it should take place on the Sth
of June. Mr. Shia suggested the propriety of having Petitions
prepared from every parish ; and as to the legality of future pro.
ceedings, Mr. Spiel and Mr. Brie were of opinion, that it would be
quite competent for the Catholics to meet weekly, to forward their
interests, on the summons of any single individual. The Meeting
then separated.

PIGEON SHOOTIKG.-.GRAND MATCH FOR. ONE
THOUSAND SOVEREIGNS.
The third match was decided yesterday, Ia the presence of a
large field of Gentlemen, but owing to the unfavourable state of
the "matter (the wind being very strong from the East), the shoot-
ing was very inferior to Wednesday. The Captain was again vie.
' torious having killed 34 out of his SO, and Mr. Oabaldeston
only. In our account of Wednesday's shooting, &c. we omitted
to mention that independent of the 1000 sovereigns on the main
result, there is a stake of 100 on each match, besides bets to an
enormous amount. Captain Ross bas taken heavy odds that' be
wins all six match's. The betting was 11 to 4on the Captain, and
is 3 and 4 to 1 on him for the grand match, which he cannot lose;
for if Mr. 0. wins the three others, he only tits 25 to 10 on the
gun throughout the day. The other matches will be on Monday;
Wednesday, and Thursday next.
A match for 100 sovereigns was shot off in the morning, between
Lord Kennedy and another Gentleman, and was to have been at
50 birds each, at 21 yards; but when 42 birds had bees 'hot at,,'
his Lordship was eight birds a-bead, and his opposentsave in.

GRAND SAILING MATCH.
The lovers of aquatic sports were highly gratifsa yesterday, by
an excellent race from Blackwell, round a vessel moored off
Gravesend, and back to Blackwell, for a Sweepstakes, between,
the six following pleasure yachts belonging to Members of fin
Thames Yacht Club, viz.
Don Giovanni I St. George I Venus
Deception • I Lady Louisa I Royal Eagle.
The Favourite Steam-packet was engaged to attend, and on
board of which was an elegant assemblage of well-dressed females,
and from which the Commodore gave the signal to get under
weigh at a quarter past ten. The start was a very fair one; but,,
owing to some confusion, the Deception, which was on the out-
side, had much the advantage, alsd shot some distance a head of
the rest, but which she kept for a very short time, being tinkly
followed by the Lady Louisa Royal Eagle, Venus, Don Gio-
vanni, and St. George. AtWoolirich)teaeht the St. George brought
up a fine breeze, and passed bin opponents in very hoe style.—
Seven to four was now offered Sy some Gentlemen on board the
Earl Spencer that the St. George was the first at Gravesend; but
affairs were soon altered, and at Barking Point the Lady TAM**
was considerably a-bead, followed by the Venus and &: George.
Here the Don Giovanni passed the Deception and the Royal Eaglet
and bore bard on the salt. George. The Lady Louisa still Mode
way on the rest, and at the Half way House was so far a-head, that
betting of five to four that she woo was the order of the day. • Be-
tween Broadness Point and Gravesend the Venus gained much on
the Lady Louisa, and; by dint of good seamanship, made the brig
off Gravesend, and was first round by about four or five beats'
lengths. Here the race was most interesting, and the supernally
of the Lady Lbisisa's sailing was manifest by the fine style in which
she again passed the Venus, and she never again gave bee an op-
portunity of coming alongside, and continued to increase her dis-
tance to theend of the race. She evened at Illickwall a little be:
four four, followed by the Venus which was well up, and .a consi-
derable distance a-head of the lion Giovanni, Royal Eagle, St.
George, and Deception; and what added much to this interesting
contest was, that there was not more than five minutes between the
first and last boats.
