BALLOONING.

Mrs. Graham has put forth an account of her ascent on Wednes-
day, if it may be so called. On the balloon being disengaged, the
ear (she nays) " became entangled with the coping of a house, but
by pushing my toot against it, it was disengaged, and l then passed
down a street, the car being as low as the second film windows, and
the monstrous machine swaying from one side of the way to Ake
other. I now anticipated immediate death, and notEing c-uld
exceed the exertions of the people in the street, and at their
windows to arrest its progress—but they failed; and I desired theist
net to alarm themselves fur my safety, that 1 trusted in Pitoyabs-cs
that nothing serious would befal mc.—' Throw out your r
—"flarow out all from the car!' war the general cry of `the•tuulti.
tad,. I took their advice, and threw out all except the seats, wien
I began to attain a greater altitude, sod passed over Islington
' church, the steeple of which was thronged with people, who d
me as 1 passed, many attempting to shake me by the Juni. .1 he
baleen floated horizontally about twenty minutes, neither rising
nor falling, but going gradually on an equilibrium, I passed over
the New -Riveri on the banks of which' were a great nuinfier of
persons, who bussed as I passed over their heads." Mrs: Giahani
silimarely landed at Newiagens.green, where the balloon was seised
by sonde brick.makeis and cat to pieces, because a stifilAent quan-
tity of beer was not distributed among than.
