Neither of us at starting experienced any new sensa-
don, other.than what was perfectly pleasurable. The
earth, the city we had left especially, .appeared like a
beaudfully.coloured map ; the gas-works in particular
continuing discernible for half an hour. In about three
quarters of an hour, being on the Severn, the sea, from
the effect of the sun through a light fleecy cloud beneath
us, appeared like a vast sheet of ice, the vessels remain.
ing perfectly still. Here, at about six o'clock, Mr.
Saunders wrote the following note, addressed to the
Gas-light Company Thank Goa we are over the
Channel—all safe; the city appears delightful, and the
clouds heavenly. Goa bless all below.—Barometer 10."
After tying this note on the middle feather of the tail of
one of the pigeons, we placed him on the edge of the
car, where he remained several minutes, deliberately
adjusting his feathers, then turning an eye downward,
darted towards the earth in a straight line. In about
another quarter of an hour, being returned over land, at
about Aust Pauage, dispatched a second pigeon, with
this note, 44 We fear we shall not go far; we are in a
complete calm. Goa bless all our friends and enemies."
This carrier being also placed en the edge tithe car,
instantly flew off in a circle, and darted through the
opening of a cloud below us, homeward. The calm
continued, and our course was even for three-quarters
of an hour. Discharged gas, and descending gradually
for a quarter of an hour more, dropped into a quarry
upon Itcbington Common, Gloucestershire, at about a
quarter of a mile from the residence of W. Bush, 4sq.
and eleven miles from*Bristol Rebounded into an oak
tree, where the grappling iron holding fast, we swung
on the line till three men (farmers' servants) caught bold
and drew us about 100 feet to level ground. Here, at
about two minutes after seven o'clock, Mr. Saunders
alighted gently, when the other two pigeons were dis-
patched, -and the machine was drawn, with Mr. Graham
still in the car, to a more open spot, when the whole of
the gas was diseharged, and the balloon packed up for
reconveyance to Bristol. Mr. Rolph, and several other
Gentlemen of the neighbourhood, assisted Mr. Bash in
administering the rites of hospitality; and horses being
more scarce than kindness, we remained at Mr. Bush's
mansion until ten, and arrived in Bristol at eleven.

The barometer, in the course of our flight fell from
20. &to 20. 2. thermometer from 7S. to 70. After
throwing out ballast, when over the Severn, the barn.'
meter fell to within fI-10ths of 20, marking an extreme
altitude of two miles and a hill and fifty yards. Both
of us, during the descent, whilst falling through a cloud,
felt a slight pain in the ears, caused by the pressure of
the grosser atmosphere, in replacing the denier Said im-
bibed insensibly during our ascent.
