ral friends, waited on the Lord Chief Justice of the
Court of King's Bench on Saturday last, at Hampstead,
in custody of Mr. Harris, sen. (a writ of Habeas having
been previously granted.) Several affidavits were sub-
mitted to his Lordship, amongst others, we understand,
was one from the family of the deceased, stating that
they had minutely examined the circumstance. which
led to this unfortunate affair, and that they considered
the strict intimacy which existed between the parties to
the latest moment, justified them in considering the quar-
rel was perfectly unpremiditated. Lieutenant Kenny,
who, we understand, was much distinguished in his
profession in India, appeared in extreme ill health. The
Lord Chief Justice liberated him immediately, on pro.
ducing four sureties in 5004 each.
A person, named Chollet, and his wife, were lately
sent to the prison of Roanne, at Lyons, for having

dals, representing Bonaparte and the baptism of his

in the windows of every dealer in curiosities in Paris.

SINGULAR AND NOVRI. MODE OF TRAVELLING.-~
Wednesday afternoon a novel mode of conveyance
passed through Reading, from Bristol, on its road to
London; it consisted of a light four.wheel carriage,
in which were three persons, drawn by two kites. The
Gentleman belonging to it was stated to be Mr. Pocock,
a teacher of mathematics in Bristol, who has had it in
use some time. The large kite, he said, was twenty
feet high, covered with cambric muslin, with tissue
paper pasted over it, and painted; its height from the
ground was about one hundred and severity feet; the
top or pilot kite was about the same distance from the
first. The lowest kite was painted to represent a bal-
loon. They sere attached to the carriage by a mode-
rate sized cord, each kite having a separate one, the
cord of the pilot passing through the first to enable
the traveller, by pulling the string of the pilot, to raise
the first sufficiently to clear trees or other obstructions,
by the side of the road. Under the carriage was a drum
and apparatus to wind the cord on or let it out at pleasure,
as necessary. The carriage was guided in the same man-
ner as a Bath chair. Mr. Pocock said, in coming from
Marlborough, he many times went at the rate of eigh•
teen or twenty miles an hour.
