BALLOON ASCENT.—Thursday last, Mr. Henry Green

(not the equestrian aeronaut) made one of the most
dangerous and rash ascents from the gai-works at
Northampton ever recorded. The balloon was considered
fu'ly infl tted at three o'clock, and an immense con-
course of spectators had assembled to witness the ascent.
The car was then attached, and Mr. Green proceeded
to make an experiment of the machine's ascending
power, but to his surprise found its gravity so great,
that it would not rise from the ground, even when
the car was emptied of the necessary appendages. It
was also discovered that the gas was rapidly escaping,
and several injuries were visible in the varnish work;
but Mr. Green, in despite of every remonstrance that
could be made, declared the public should not be dia•
appointed, and with the utmost speed detached the car
from the tolloon, flung himself across the hoop to which
the car had been appended, struck the last stay-rope,
and withnlltt grapnel, ballast, or any means of assisting
in his descent, oared above the heads of the astonished
spectators. The machine reached the altitude of about
half a Mile, when. a rapid descent was visible, and
plenty of lksistance being at hand, he landed safely in
a field at ballington, one Mile and a half from'the gas
works, and eight' minutes after he left ierrafirrota, the
gas being in that time nearly all eqransted."
