MaS. SARAH BOND.—The death of this eccentric
wousas has created great sensation in the neighbour-
hood where she lived, among 50::1. of her own sex as
now and then could Stet a bird's-eye glimpse of leer
while living.; one laments that she was not so fortu-
nate as to have profered her servicea—another that she
bad notoffered to snake her bed, and as•ist her in her
domestic arrangements, &c. so as to have a chance of
coming in for some part of her immense wealth. From
what tie have been able to collect, we are of opinion
that Pone of these kind services would have been re-
quited in the way these people anticipate, for she al-
ways professed a most determined dislike to both sexes.
The men she called " BE.VaTtc," and the women " idech

died last Sunday se'nnight, should still remain tusbu-

the report is, that no interment can take place until

Mr. Green wave his hat as he ascended, and loud and
simultaneous were the cheers below. The ballast, when
a progress of miles had been made in the regions of

which, for a considerable time continued its suspension,
inhuming the shape of clouds, between cards and sky.

Twelve Will the time announced for the ascent: bit,
from some cause or other, the public were kept in an-
xious suspence mail eight minutes past two, when the
balloon was seen to rise in a slow and majestic style.
The aeronaut waved his hat, and was eheered by the
spectators. Front the weight it bore, the balloon took
a Sontb-westerly direction, and descended so low as to
admit Mr. Green to touch the earth with one of bit
fret about 100 yards from the gasometer, whence he
ascended. By throwing out ballast, however, it
aaain ascended, taking a north-westerly direction, that
k, carryiner Mr. Green out to sea. The balloon for 11:1
space of 1.6 minutes was visible to the naked eye, aal
for a short time afterwards, was perceptible by the aid
of a telescope. Late in the afternoon, the mate of the
Unity packet. Captain Clear, arrived here express from
Seaford, with the intelii'gence that Ur: Green, with his
balloon, hid heel' picked up at sea, about four miles
trout that place, by the above vessel. Mr. Green hopel
to sup in Brighton 14st night, and was momentarily ex-
pecte,' wheu oar paper went to press at eight o'clock.

It was tome time ago suggested by certain Mem-
bers of the Glasgow Philosophical Society, that con-
siderable convenience would accrue from having the
city steeple dials illuminated after sun-set. The idea
has been entsrtained, as the Magistrates have allowed
the Board of Police been at the expense of fitting
up the west dial of the Tron Steeple as an experiment.
appiratne, constructed under the superintendence
cf th- ruggestors, was illuminated for the first time
on Tuesdsy night. Should it succeed, the Glasgow
Gas Light Company have agreed to furnish this stee-
ple with light gratis. The apparatus consists of a
No. I Argand burner, placed a few feet out from the
top of the dial, and inclos d in a nearly hemispherical
lantern, the front of which is glazed; the back forms
a pataborical reflec:or; the dial receives not only the
direct but ,a conical stream of reflected rays ; and is
thus so brilliantly illuminated that the hours and
hands can be seen with nearly the same distinetnees
at a distrnce as through the day. By a simple con-
trivance the clock disengages, about sun=rise, a s:nall
detest, something similar to the larnin in wooden
.larks; this shuts the gas cock, and so instantly et.
titylishes the g!tt.—(Edinburgh Courant.)
