• The sensation of horror with which the account'
respecting the wretched Bishop of Clogher was re-
ceived in this country, is not to be described. It was
felt as a case peculiarly agg eol, in consequence of
the prosecution which he instituted sheet five years
since against his own coachman, who was charged with
and found guilty of scandalising him by the imputation i
of the minor in which be has bees now detected. The
man was sentenced to be publicly whipped; and such
'sag the public indignation against the supposed false-
hood and malignity of Ilia offence, that the sentence was
carried into effect against him with a eindictire sereritg
that put a period to hi. esistenee. He was literally of.
, most cut to peers: and it was thought that he did estt,
get half what be deserved. D 3 you not think that this
'is a ease that peculiarly calls for public sympathy? If
so, for nod's sake make such a representation of it ee
Rev draw the notice of the generous and hamar to
the pitiable andjhrlorn condition of the widow and or-
plass of the unfortunate man, that some effort may be
made to compensate them for the rest of their lives fee
the loss of a husband andfather, and to make, as far es
it is possible to do so, some amends for the ignominy
and bereavement with which they have been so unjustly
and cruelly visited.
Oh! It Is the Aforning Chronicle that is to do
this! But where would have been the knowledge of
the thing at all, if the conduct of the Morning
Chronicle bad been imitated and its doctrine of hash-
ing had been adopted by the STATIVIAN ? Thus
I have we here two most striking instances in proof
(from the Chronicle Itself) of the abonoinshleness of
its doctrine aid the soundness of ours; of the bad-
ness of its conduct in this cue, and of the goodness
of ours.

At half-past three o'clock, the gentlemen entered
the car in high spirits: hiving detached the cords.
they bade adieu to their friends, when at the moment
the car was removed to the farther end of the ground
to windward, it was discovered that some wicked per-
son had cot one of the cords. that suspended it from
the net-work. Mr. Green ordered every person to
leave the ear, and when urged to have the cord re.
paired, he replied. " I'll pot hatard the cutting of

balloon ascended in the most majestic manner. The
voyagers remained in sight npwards of twenty minutes
Bets, amounting to many thousand pounds, were de-
pending open the ascent. A public dinner will take
place to-morrow, at the Plough Hotel, of Mr. Green's
Committee, Inhabitants, and visitors. Lord Sher-
borne and several noblemen were present. The course
of the balloon was due east ; it passed over North-
leach, and Lard Sherborne's park, the aerial voyagers
descended near that place, after being half an hour in
the trackless spate. Great timbers of gentlemen
rode out to meet and welcome Messrs. Green and
Gel ffith.

DESCENT OF THE BALLOON!
With deep concern we have to communicate (from
the Cheltenham Chronicle received this morniog), the
sequel of the progress of the advesturous srooonts.
They had scarcely attained the height of half a
mile, when the netting gave way considerably. Yet
still they dared their heavenward flight and were seen
as they float; out ballast springing upward to the sky.
Thelratoomm to the 'summit was plainly risible, instil,
on the other side of the Cotswold Hills, they were seen
for some •ime apparently stationary. and than we►e lost
to the view. Now then the catastrophe draws near.
Within little more than a mile and a half of
perton, they determined to descend, the car bring at
1 that time only upheld by one side of the balloon.
Their grappling irons came in contact with the earth.
into which it was fastened by the country people near
the spot, but it was speedily torn away, and they were
dragged for the distance of four fields, and kneeked
from hedge to hedge, till at length the balloon carry-
ing them over a large grove up into the sir, the ear
got entangled io a tree. The ropes which had been
partly cut gave way, the balloon ascended, and they were
dung in Natgrove-field from a tremendous height to
the ground. They were taken to the house of Mr. J.
Stone, at Turk than, two miles from Nor:bleach, and
promptly blooded by the family sargeoo of North-
leach, who had crossed the country to watch the pro-
gress of the balloon. On Wednesday morning the
following WIWI, was issued :
Turk Dean, Js/it 31.-1 o'Clock, 4. M.
.4 We bare examined Mr. Green and the Gentleman
who ascended with him. in consequence of their Acci-
dent from the descent of the Balloon, and find them both
very seriously injured. Mr. Green has a severe contu-
sion on the leg side of the chest, bat unattended with
anv fractnre of the ribs. The other Gentleman has re-
ceived a severe injury of the spine, bat unattended with
paralysis of the limbs.

A Subscription is about to be opened in Cheltenham
for the sufferers.

Mr. Li,inston, of Dublin, who, it was understood,
would attempt to cross the channel with his balloon.
has twice within the last fortnight been foiled by on.
favonrable weather in bis endeavours to ascend. The
hot attempt was made no Monday ; the next was to
be made to-day.

HAMM' IN SCOTLAND.—The 10E1'1401, says an
Edinburgh paper, have much improved thn crops, but
will render the h, t somewhat later than it pro.
mised to be. Many fields of wheat are expected to he
cut by the middle of August. and harvest in that
grain will. unless the weather should be backward.
be then general. The oats are still growing with
vigour.
Toe WEATHER AND HARVEST IN IRELAND.—Prom
the best information (says the Dublin paper of Mon.
day) which we can colter?, there appears to have
Iwo no injory of the least moment sustained
by the growing crops, from the rains which
were but partial, and at intervals. On the
other band, the good that has been done to the
late crops of corn, and to the potatoes, early as well
as late, is incalculable. Should the weather continue
but moderately favourable, of which there is now every
prospect. the harvest of this year will be the i•os
abundant within the memory of luau.
The wheat harvest in Cornwall is become general
throughout the county, under promising and favodr.
able circamstances.

()0 Sattuday last there were three rut loads of fine
large fresh herrings in Csrlile market, which were
sold at eiflit for sispcnce.

A partridge, followed by 13 yelling ones, of a ',g-
entler breed, may now be seen io the garden of the
Doke of Iluechigh, at Langbolus Lodge, I. this
county. The parent bird, together with three other*
was brought up last year by a common ben, and re-
tained et the Lodge for the purpose of deetoying ver-
min. At the approach of spring, however, three of
the partridges were impelled by their instincts to seek
a wider range of lawn, and curer; while the fourth
having become the constant companion of the garden-
er!' ditoghill cock. ezliecad ois diaposition.la.4 away.
'Chasticleer was gallant enough to repay the attach•
meet of his companion, and willingly resigned a
crumb of bread or a grain of barley to the speckled
stranger. Unlike the patient ben, however, the par-
tridge was so jealous, and so great so enemy to poly-
gamy of any sort, that she attacked every other bird
that offered to approach the cork, and from her snpe•
nor activity generally had the best of it in all suCh
encounters. At length the barn-yard representative
of the Orand Signior having almost killed another
cock, was consigned to the keeping of a person resid-
ing in a different part of the country. Thither, in
spite of every obstacle, the partridge followed him,
and in the course of her search was observed mingling
with the poultry of different farms, one of them at
least two miles distant from Langholm Lodge. At
length both birds were restored to their paternal
dunghill ; bat by this time the attachment of the par-
tridge had begun to abate, and she was observed to
he less and leis in the cock's company, until she left it
altogether. About a month ago she was discoved sit-
ting coder a cabbage ona nest that contained 15 eggs.
The bird is quite tame, comes when called upon, and
feeds readily from the hands of persons with wheat
she is familiar.—(Dtonfries Courier.)
INQUEST AT TUNDSIDGE.—On Monday an inquest
was taken before Dudlow, Esq. Coroner, on the
body of Miss Sarah Hogford, who died about seven
o'clock on Saturday evening. It appeared in evidence,
that the deceased, who was on a visit to the Slims do
St. Croix, at Tunbridge, had complained of having had
the tootb•ache the eight before, and sent a servant to
the druggist's fur a bottle containing half an ounce of
laudanum. At about nine o'clock on Saturday morn-
iug, the deceased rang her bell, and requested that an-
other bottle of laudanum might be fetched, which was
also taken to hrr in her bedroom. The servant asked
if she should bathe her face for her ; deceased said "No,
pit it down, I will do it myself." She apprised her
mistress of what had been done, and it was soon after
discovered that the deceased had taken the contents of
both bottles. Miss de St. Croix then applied to the
chemist for something to counteract the effects cf the
'poison, for which purpose be gave her powder, and re-
commended calling in surgical aid. lit. Morris, tor-
geon, was immediately sent for, who administered such
medicines as he thonglit right, bat without effect, as she
expired *host five 'Monte.; before seven o'clock. a 1 see-
vane of the deceased, who lived with her and her sister
in Montague-street. Portman-square, deposed, that dur-
ing the last two years deceased had been snliject to fits
of insanity, and btil been confined ten months under Dr.
Monroe, and about four months under Mrs. Thelford, at
Clapton—that she acrouspanied deceased to Tunbridge,
and left her on the following day ; on being asked toy
one of the Misses de St. Croix, of the deceased's preri-
ons state of mind, she said no—the sister of the deceased
told her not to mention a word about it, I,el!ing her that
those ladies hail been apprised of every thins. that it
was necessary that they should know. The nry then
sent for Miss do St. Cr iix to know if she hail•been ap-
prised of the dernsed's. state of taloa; Miss de St.
Croix stated, that no intimation had been given her of
any previous symptoms of insanity • she was informed
that a long bait much weakened Miss Hub-ford,
and left a nervous effection, nhich it was hoped change
of air and of place might tend to wear of the dory

act of the sister of the decr.ime4l. in thus sending her
