ENGLISH OPERA. HOUSE:

•
Mr. MATirEws last night. perforthed -his Trip to
America; for the lust time this season. The house was
full, and the applause more frequent and rapturous
Man ever. At the conclusion, while still in the dress
of Mr. Camelios O'Stellivart;he took leave of his audience
in tbe;following words: •
0 Ladies and Gentlemen—ln once more taking my leave of you
for a season, I wish I could think on something to say which would
entitle you to exclaim, with our lute friend, Mr. Thny," Well, I
never heard that before!" Bet the language of grateful acknow-
ledgment is soon exhausted, however unbounded may be the feeling
that prompts it.' To say that I am proud of ybur applause, and
grateful for your kindness, is a '•twice-feid eels," which has been
more than thrice repeated; but be assured that the undiminished
favour I have experienced has, year after year, increased my
anxiety to merit your smiles, and will leave an indelible recollec-
tion on my heart, when I and my humble efforts to amuse you may
perhaps be forgotten.
" While thus encouraged, It would be affectation, if not ingrati-
tude, to talk of retiring front public life. While I continue, there-
fore, to receive your approbation, I shall continue my endeavours to
deserve it; and trust I shall next year be able to present you with
something at least as well deserving your attention as anything I
have heretofore had the pleasure and honour of submitting to your
notice. With this hope, and the gratifying anticipation of soon
meeting you again, Ladin and Gentlemen, I most respectfully and
cordially bid you farewell."

MR. SADLER'S BALLOON.

Through the kindness of a friend, we were yesterday
enabled to give an account of Mr. Sadler's ascent in a
balloon on Monday, at Edinburgh, which, it appears,
was in commemoration of the Repeal of the Hides and
Skins Bill. The balloon, after being visible for an hour
and 38 minutes, descended near Leven, in Fife, at two
minutes after five o'clock, the aeronauts having encoun-
tered no adverse accident whatever.
It deserves to be noticed, as a mark of disinterested friendship,
that the whole body of scientific gentlemen of Edinburgh came
forward and rendered every assistance in collecting the money, &c.
for the aeronaut. The Governors of Heriot's Hospital, besides
giving the tax of the green, handsomely afforded Mr. Sadler the
accommodation of a room in the Hospital, to carry on his prepara-
tions. On the Castle Hill arrangement was made for charging
sixpence each from all who entered, but at a quarter past one the
barricadoe was forced, and the populace rushed in promiscuously.
This charge, we believe, would have been cheerfully submitted to,
had not the pressure of the crowd been so great as to render it an
act of absolute necessity to force the banter. There was, how-
ever, a handsome offer made!to collect something for his behoof in
the Castle, whisk was crowded with spectators in every part, from
the lose of the rock to the summit of the highest tower. Every
roof and chimney in both towns were occuisied, and the Calton Hill
was covered with well-dressed crowds. Even Salisbury Crags and
Arthur's Seat had their share of admiring gazers. On no occasion
since the King's visit has there been such a general turning out of
the Fopulatlon.
