ASCENT OF MR. GRAHAM AT BATH.

It is more than twenty years since there was an aerial
ascent at Bath ; and great interest was excited when
Mr. Graham's intention of ascending from that city was,
made known. Thursday was fixed tor this event taking
place ; but the balloon was found incapable of taking
up t.vo persons, and the design was abandoned until
the next day.
Friday, the ascent took place at one o'clock, amidst
an immense crowd of spectators. Mr. Graham was ac-
companied by Mr. Webbe. The balloon was distinctly
visible from the Orange Grove, for the space of five,
minutes ; after taking a north-easterly dire:tion, it soon
descended, at a distance of about three quarters of a
mile from the gardens. The balloon seemed about to
ascend a send time, but either from the gas having
escaped too much, or from the weight attached to it, it
was not able so to do. _

Mr, JotncsToN, late Private Secretary to his Excel-
lency the Lotus Licirreicasit, sailed for England yesterday (Monday,
the 13th inst.) to take his place as Commissioner at the Board of
Stamps. lir is succeeded in, the appointment of Private Secre-
tary by Culonel Snioi, who lately arnved in this .country ; and who,
we believe wa, employed in India during the Governor-General-
ship of the believe,
