Messrs. GREeN made a fourth ascent from the Nun's
Field, Nevreastle-on-Tyne, on Thursday last. The settsnauts, Mr.
Giotkair and Mr. Wzatawas Gann, left the wain the car attached
to their magnificent balloon, about ten minutes before one o'clock,
and immediately took a nostlsoesterly direction. When they were
at the greatest height, the balloon remained stationary for about ten
minutes. After being in the atmosphere for 20 minutes, and having
a distinct view of the sea, which appeared almost perpendicularly
under them, the aeronauts deemed it prudent to descend. They
landed with ease and safety at a quarter past one o'clock, in a field
a mile from Long Benton. When the aeronauts had risen to the
height of about three-quarters of a mile, they distinctly, they say,
observed the shadow of the balloon, on the earth, an appearance
never before noticed at such a distance.

TIMATRXS.
TILE ITALIAN. OPERA.' •
Il Barbiere di Swig& was repeated last night, anti
as upon the lan occasion of ks performance, Signor V at.-
Lyn sung the duet, Mille sospiri, with Mademoiselle
GARCIA. It was given with the same fine skill and ex-
pression, and called forth an unanimous encore. The
heat of the weather seems to have its influence here as
in all other places of public amusement. The audience
was not so numerous as usual, and some pasts of the
Opera were languidly performed.
COVENT-GARDEN.

---
This Theatre closed last night for the Season, on
I which occasion Mr. FAWC&TT addressed the audience
to the following effect :
" Lannot Aso Churrxzwan—Custom has almost made it a law on
an occasion like the present to address you; in pursuance therefore
of that custom I now come to make you my bow. I will not give
you a long,cirade concerning the unprecedented success of the pre-
sent season, nor enter into an inflated detail of what is preparing for
the next. I shall merely state, that on Monday, September 26, we
shall re-open ; hoping to see you here again, when deeds, not words,
shall prove our gratitude. Meanwhile, the Managers, the Per-,
formers, and your humble servant, beg leave to bid you a respect-
ful farewel."
This Theatre has been greatly indebted for its pros-
pet ivy, during the season, to the admirable performance
of the leading actors, to the general beauty of the sce-
nery, and to the order and good taste displayed in the
stage man tgement.
