to White Gontlitit Mouse, and Mr. Graham retpraed amidst
the deafening shouts, of the populace.
We when here conclude, with a general reins* on tire ends°
of the incomplete success of this experiment, on which we,
shall enlarge hereafter. • It was evidently from the want of a
sufficient supply of gas ; for the balloon Wei never half tilled,
as might hr seen from the folds in the tower part, and from the
officious, though, pe. haps, well meant interference of time sur-
rounding bpectators.

The scene of operations was a common sized bowling
peen, in the centre of which was a quadrangular space,
terrnanded by a strong rail. At two of the opposite corners
of etie, were fixe I two poles about fifty feet in len„e•th.
These were secured by guy ropes on the outside of the
arts, and s line rah across from the top of these two poles,
to the middle of width line the balloon, with the netting
throws over it, was suspended, by its running through a
ling at the top of the valve. At about half-past nin•
o'clock the gas was turned on, but with a ver low pees-
tare, an that very little effect was produced. About eleven
o'clock the pressure was increased to about two incline,
which eoolsoued till about one, when it was increased to
the almost force given it, about 4 inches, hut still it seemed
to emu- ie vete slowly; and it was evident that the bal-
loon could net be filled, at that rate, by the hour fixed for
the weal, although the pipe by which the supply was re-
vered, appeared to be about four inches in diameter, and
Mumps were made to create a vacuum by making a tire
round thy pipe sear its entrance to the gardens. Frequent-
iy,tortyed, the gunge hardly seemed to denote the existence
if env pressure at all. At half-past tour o'clock, the car,

Mr. Auer stated the ease for the the prosecnti6p.e*i

Sammy, Chamberlain stated that he resided at No. 10.1
theit Newport Street, Soho. On the night of the 17th
Adgust, he went to bed ibmit 12. His property was then
safe ind his premises secured. Some time after he heard
two load knorks at the door, hat 'apposing
.it was at a
neighbours he did not get out of bed. In a minute or two
he heard his street door open, and he Immediately jumped
out of bed and ran to the landing of the first floor. He
there found several watchmen in the house, and one of the
shutters down. About 5 minutes after he saw the prisoner
Wright with a slick in his hand belonging to witness,
Which had been previous to his retiring to rest, locked up
in the front kitchen. A next door neighbour named
Haseley, fdlowed Wright,' and asked where he came from
and added " you are line of the men that broke into this
homer, look at youritelf, eel the coddition you are in,"
prisoner said dont von ktso;v me. "I know you to be one
of the men" replied Mr. Beckly. Prisoner said, "my name
is John Wright, I am a Bow Street officer."—When .the
Prisoner was taken op stairs several of the watchmen said,
"Oh, Wright, a notorious house breaker." He was then
conveyed to the watchhonse, where witness found the
otheriprisoner Young. Witness then went borne and exa•
mined the state of his house. He found the bolts of the
shutter in the window formd off. several coatis plate glasses
had been removed from the end of the shop to a place near
the door, a tinderbox and piece cf candle were found io
the shop.
Cre‘s-examined by Mr. Annaxw's.—ls quite certain the
shutters and door were fastened before he retired to rest.
It was quite impossible for the prisoners to get away as
the house was surrounded by the watchmen.
Other witnesses gave evidence which confirmed the above
statement, and established the case, and after the prisoners
had been called on fur their defence, Mr. Baron Haastan
summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after • few
minutes deliberation, returned a verdict of—Huilty, Death,

against both the prisoners.
Mr. Baron Hainan, on the prisoners being removed from
the bar, said that he should not order sentence of death to
be recorded, as was liana! when transportation was intend-
ed, but should leave them to the termination of the Sas•
sions. After ilne consideration being given to their cases,
the awful sentence of Death would, in all probability be
passed upon them.
Samuel nes. Fielding was capitally convicted of as-
saulting Thomas Lane, on the King's Highway, and steal-
ing from his person a gold watch, gold chain, and seals,
his property.
The Procreator begged to recommend the prisoner to

mercy.
Mr. Justice Bur said that his regnest should certainly
be attended to; bet his Majesty's Government had deter.
ruined to put an red to this species of robbery by persons
who infest the streets in gongs. He therefore hardly thought
this case would be considered worthy thd Royal Cie.

teddy replied, that " the work could not be done without

on driving his poles. and increasing the damage at every

It is stated in some of the papers that his Majesty has
given instructions for the renovation of the entient Palaces
of Holyrood and Elthatn ; and has also expressed a desire
that a grant should be made out of the proper funds. for
the repair of the ancient Cathedrals of Withrow and St.
Andrew. Nothing can be more absurd than these reports.
The remains of the Palace of Eltham consist only of a
Hall, which has been converted into a barn, and those of
the Cathedral of St. Andrew. but of the ruins of two or
three mouldering walls, which can neither be renovated nor
long reserved.

he rested three hours and three minutes. and consequently
walked the distance in twenty hours and forty-eight al.
