MR. SADLER'S FATAL ASCENT.

The Manchester Gazette contains a long article on the
fatal ascent of Mr. Sadler, a considerable portion or
which has been necessarily anticipated in the previous
accounts which we have given, but we glean froth ;hat
Journal the following additional particulars.
Fos-bill Bank, where be fell, is about 13 milys north from Bol-
ton—four miles east from Blackburn—end nearly two miles west

tam the slap of Accrington. Mr. Blenkiniop'a public-bane, to
*high Mr. Saber was temoved, is about 100 yards from the plan
where be fell In the meadow ; and the meadow. joins'mmediately
to.the print works of Messrs., Simpson, Haigh, sad Co. , .
From the quantity of gas in the ~balloon, and the form of the
ethic', it was impossible to stop its course. Mr. Sidle,/ was heard
to call outrepeatedly " lwy Add tr th sniper' but the MU was made
Y vain, although the attempt was trade by several people.—The
111•1111.14 after Mr. Sadier's fall, rose again and was carried away
ihrilasde Whalley, and when it was within a idle from that place,
and hoar from this, Mr. Sadler's servant jumped out of the tat, the
helm being then about fifteen yards from the ground, at a place
allot Cork Bridge. Mrs. Sadler was written to by Mr. Aitken
lemeediately after the occurrence of the accident, and on her way
to Dam, received the account of Mr. Sadler's melancholy. fate.
Se arrived at Foxhill Bask on Thursday, about half past three; in a
Mate of mind not to be described, .accompanied by Mr. Ann-
eleong, and having made the necessary arrangements respecting the
body, returned about six•o'clock in the evening. • .

FAXATI,

.It appears r4St,
dOenna South
near Astaiin-unde-r-Line, hive in that 'neighbourhood,
and, we underaand, in sonic etheri also, adopted the
strange notion that they are bound to comply with the
injuucttons of the Mosaical law, respecting the -rite of
tircutacision. All, or-nearly all, the male believers in
that neighbouribod, have consequently submitted to
the operatioi, and have had it performed 'Upon their
children, on the eighth day after birth, in obedience to
'the directions containectin the book of Genesis. This
'lamentable delusion, we understand, has'prevailed in a
limited degree for several years, though we are not
aware that it.4in any way inculcated in the writings of
thepropheins Of late it has made a very rapid progress.
The first witness examined was Mr. Ogden, surgeon,
of Ashton, who stated that he opened the body of the
deceased on the day previous to the Inqttest. He found
the contents of the thorax, abdomen, aid head per
fectly healthy ; but the body Was much e.maeiated;
The witness then proieeded to.deseribe the appearances'
exhibited by other parts. 'He *hatf no doubt that the,
operation which had been perfofined son the child was
the cause of its death. The wound had riot been pro►
.
petly treated, and bad mortified.
' Robert Grimshaw, a colller, apparently not more than'
twenty -years of itge, acid the father of the child, said his
step-mother carried the child to the Chapel to be;Cirk'
cumcised ; having been repeatedly directedso to do, by.
Mr. Lees, Mr. Swire, and Mr. Wroe. It is -a law
amongst the followers of Joanna Southcote, to take the
male children on the eighth day after birth, to be bap-
tised and circumcised:' and actOrdinglyl whet? the'
child was eight dayi old, it wai taken to
,tbeii,Cha
and given into the hands of Mr. lifehrT Deer. *Mis pe4r

tamed his head awat.. There were
.thirty or forty: per-
son's present, and dithrigthe operation the musical nstru-
menu in the Chapel were. playing,. !!'in order (a,, the
witness said) that the cries of Atte child
.might.not be.
beard by the world." Witness was circupiciseci himself
abottt Whitsuntide last t no 'band played then ; theie
being" no occasion for it. The histroarenes with Which
the Operation is performed, are a krafe,atiair ofScifsorri,
Mid a piece of :dye?, about the size of a crown .piecet
ith a hole in it. .
Mrs. Grimshaw, step-Miother of the last witness, proved
that, before the operation, she delivered the Child to
Mr. Henri Lees, and saw the instruments in his hands ;
but,'standing at the head of the child, she did not exactly
seethe operation perforated.
Two of the musicians of the Chapel were thenexa:
mined ; but they did not throw any additional light on
the transaction. Both stated that they had. themselvei
-subatitted to the operation ; one raid, that he Was. cir-
tunicised by a Gentleman at Gravesend, whose name
hi 'would not mention. The' other, in aaswet to a
question from the Cdroner, said, that he was eircum..'
tiled at Btadford. •
Coamiei,—Vfcb; it would be a long 'time before they would
pentode me tit be circiuscisedi '

• WitneeMore pity, their, fir.
Joseph Grimshaw, the grandfather of the chili, saw
the operation performed. by Mr. Henry Lees ; and de-
scribed the manner in which it was effected. Witness
was circumcised himself: the. only other person, ex-
cept the child, whom he had ever seen circumcised;was
Wroe, " our prophet." Just as the witness was about
to 'go away, the Coroner said,. " You seem to have a
long board: pray when were you Shaved r'.
Witness-About three weeks ago.
Comursa--.What is your reason fee wearing It so long?
Witness (stroking his hest' whit .great cency)—TO
look lite our forefathers of old, Abraham, !mac; and Jaeob.
This was all the evidence adduced. The Coroner
then said, that as the case was one of complete novelty;
before calling on the Jury for their verdict, he should
write to Mr. Rainiock, the beiiister, aed take his opi-
nion on she subject. give.sime to do•this,'heshonid

when they next met; thee would •brnothlbefoi: she

Friday, accordingly, the Jury' eie-assembleil-tt three
o'clock, at the Commercial Inn, in- Ashton; *hen' the
Coroner prodticed and • read. an opinion. which helrad
received from hir..Raintock. vias,:in effect, that if
any persons chose to perform suct an operation as cir-
cumcision, unless it•was surgicaUy•necessary, they must
take the consequences•sspon themselves ; and if death
should ensuel from-their unskilfulness, they would, in
his judgment, be guilty of manslaughter. The Learned
Gentleman added, that there would perhaps be an ex-
ception in the cue of Jews, who were expressly en-
joined by their law to. perform the rite% but•as4t Wes no
part of the ordinances of the Christian VtligiOrts no
Christian would be justiliedin peorming it.• • -
The Jury deliberated for a short time,. and then Morsed a ver-
dict of lifonsferigharr against. Henry Lee. •
Mr. Lees was in the house, in the Custody at the. constable Of
Ashton and was -committed to Lancaster jail to take hie trial for
the awe.
We understand that, rince the fatal must midi gave rise 10 this
Inquest, the the of circumcision bas haw geellgegeed, io atleast one,
inKanse, at Ashton.

A most extraordinary affair happened at Trent Fold-.
ridge, near Colne, on Tuesday lainight. A sect has
sprung oat of the Joannaites, or Southcotians, which
lhas adopted the ancient Jewish rite of circumcision.
Tbis sect having embraced and propagated its pecu-•
`Unities with a sealworthy of a better cause, has made,
proselytes to it* singular tenets; •and several persons
have submitted to the rite. Tuesday was the day ap-
pointed for the circumcision of a child whose father was
* proselyte to the new sect; the time fixed becoming
known to the public, that curiosity which is ever oe the
Alert for the matoeUous became quite aroused; hun.
dreds, if not.thoosancla, flocked to-the appointedtplace.
The mother of the child•opposed its.subosission to the
rite, and.a goodly number of; the crowd took ha part t
.he fatherkun the other hand, with his partisans, en-
iisted on his authority over the child, ihd that-the rite
.bould be performed on it. The opposition increased-t
the.oppming parties became turbulent and violent; the'
constable, and persons. of influence. in the neighbour.
