CARDIFF, SfirrEmma 24.—Mr. SADLER'S balloon
wal discovered from Cardiff at 20 Minnie: past two
o'clock, nntiestically iloetieg- in-a westerly direction,
apparently in a line from Penarth Point to Swansea.
The colour of 'the silk, and two persons in the car,
were plainly discovered through glasses ; and it was
s. An very dearly with the naked eye for more than
htlf an hour. At one time it descended below the
bills, but in about two minutes it again appeared, and
ascended rapidly until it was lost in a grey cloud. It
VMS afterwards seen from the top of Cardiff Castle,
by the writer of this account, who lost sight of it at
the time, when it appeared to be about the size of a
quart bottle, and when he supposed it to be in a di-
rect altitude from Abexthaw or Fonrnon. It ishoped
that Mr. SADLER descended in saloy while on the
margin of the Glamorgan coast, as the wind was
quite bare, and rftber too much to the northward of
east, which wonld consequently impel the balloon
more towards the Channel than could be wished, for
the safety of the atrial voyagers. The balloon ascen•
ded from Bristol at about a quartet before 2 o'clock.

HERZFORP Mum Merrixo.—The Triennial Meet-
ing of the three Choirs of Hereford, Gloucester, and
Worcester, took place at Hereford during the last
week, and was attended by a very numerous and ele-
gant assemblage of beauty and fashion, not only from
the three united countits'in the godlike world otcha-
Thy, but from those adjoining, both in Eng and
Wales, alike emulous to assist in rescuing the wido*
and the orphan from the heart-rending pangs of indi-
gence. On the first morning, the Rev. Mr. GUARD, one
of the Stewards, delivered an admirable discourse from
Isaiah xi. i. on the importance of the clerical profes-
sion, and the unprotected state of the families of clergy-
men upon the demise of the husband and father. His
forcible eloquence powerfu.lly operated upon the feel-
ings of his auditors, vnd produced a handsome con-
tribution at the doors of the Cathedral. The musical
performances in the morning and evening gave uni.
versal satisfaction. On the second day, HANDn's
sublime composition, The Marie:lh lost nothing of its
wonted effect ; and the grand selection on that even-
ing and the succeeding day afforded the highest pa-
tification. We learn with pleasure that this excellent
charity has derived substantial aid from the present
meeting ; and that the Stewards and Conthictor of
the Festival have received the well earned meed of
unqualified praise for their exertions in behalf of an
institution which reflects the greatest honour upon
uman nature,
On the Slst tilt. the foundation stone of a building
for a signal station was laid on Holyhead Mountain,i
by Sir J. T. STANLEY, Bart. The utility of this un-
dertaking.is to take the names of the Liverpool ships,
by warner:cal signs, as they pass the Head, and to
communicate the intelligence by post.
The wounded Sailor, at Margate, is recovering fast.
The. )&lidshipman was not sent to Dover gaol, as was

of the Admiralty can be received.

Early yesterday morning the house of a grocer, the
corner of Henry-street; on the Hampstead Road, was

ing-open 'the door of a cellar. About four o'clock,
while the robbers were busy packing up, some cows
passed the house as their way to be milked, one of
which fell down the opening into the cellar. The
thieves, terrified by the noise, made the best of their
way to the top of the house, and contrivad to make
their escape 4)ver the roofs of the adjt:ining buildings,
but were completely disappointed of booty. Four
hours elapsed before-the cow, which was big with calf,
could be extricated, it was net however much hurt.
An stlempt was made by some villains, on Sunday
night, to enter the residence of .General aaavit, in

noise, as if some one was attempting to pick a lock,
ran up stairs to an.attic, from .the window of which'
she alarmed the neighbourhood, when the depredators
