MR. SADLER'S IERIAL ASCENT.

SHEFFIELD, SEPTEMBER 20, 1823.
The history of ballooning does not record a more
Majestic ascent than that of Mr. SADLER on Thursday
from this town. The day was singularly fine, and not
a cloud obscured the atmosphere. The balloon ap-
peared " a thing of life," and sailed through the air in
the most imposing grandeur, whilst the intrepid terci
v
pant acknowledged the acclamations of the countless
ihousands, who gazed. with wonder and delight. For
19wai ds of twenty, minutes the balloon remained in
sight, when Mr. SADLER, we presume," waved his/xi,
end bade adieu." His descent was equally fine, it took
klice near Tickhill,. about five o'clock. The brother
Sir GEORGE Alai &SAGE accompanied Mr. SADLER to
effield, where he arrived about half-past nine o'clock.
e following is Mt. SA.DLER'S own brief narrative of
hii ascent i 44 I ascended at five minutes past two o'clock,
end in twenty-two minutes, the town of Sheffield was
obscured from my view; but for some time I had °eta-
iional views of the enclosures beneath me. In ascending
through the clouds I was attended with chilliness. The
ballooi continued rising until five minutes to three
o'clock, the greatest elevation being about two miles,
prhen the refection of the sun upon the oalloon, car,
Sic. tendered it extremely warm. I descended at fifteen
Minutes past three o'clock, in a grass-field, adjoining a
copse called fiesningslength, about apilefromTiekhill."
