., direction. and IL the iudulations and
.berratiOns of the machine are allowed
for. il would make at least 10 miles.
In the course Of this voyage. they ira
ycrsed some Of the finest parts of the
counties of York and Durham, the
views of which both gentlemen describe
as sublime and enchanting beyond de-
scription. At a height of nearly two
miles from the earth, they took their
refrcshnent, and drank the health of
the sovereign, andprosperity to the town
and trade of Liverpool, in that awful
symposium. They frequently, on APP
preaching town or village, decended
50 low as to be able to converse with
the people, by whom they were ofteu in
yited to make call and take some re-
freshment; bat such morning visits be-
ing rather announcement, they were obi
,,cd to decline the honor. The noble
waving line made by the balloon i'm these
dccendings and ascendings must have
been the finest sights which occurred in
Ahe whole exhibition, and accordingly,
they seemed to excite the highest rap
ture in the rural spectators. They did
not suffer much from cold /; the mercu-
~ in the thermometer generally rang
lug about IS. Unfortunately, they had
no barometer with them, bet Mr.. Liv-
ingston conjectures, that their utmost
elevation might be about four miles and
a qaarter. Near the town Of Stockton
they approached range of hills, and
on surmounting these, were some what
startled at perceIving themselves within
few miles of the sea. They immedi
ateIy drew the valve, and alighted with
ali possible expedition. On reaching
the ground, they threw out the crap.
ping iron, The hook of which broke at
the iirst pull, and on throwing it out a.
gain, another hook was bent straight,
and the anchor again dragged. The
balloon now forced itself through a
thick hedge, the sudden jerk, Occasioned
by which, unfortunately pitched Mr..
Livingston against the side Of the car,
by which his head aud shoulder were so
severely bruised, that it was thought
advisable to let blood, but he is now
neary recovered. At length, by con-
tinually keeping open the valve, the
balloon gradually subsidized in a stubble
field, and was finally secured without
having sustained the least damage.
We understand that the erial travel
lcrs undertook this long voyage with
the view Of trying the power oil the bal
loon, and its Capability of crossing the
channel from hence, tae practicability
Of winch is now ascertained.
Whilst the balloon was ma estiCally
sweeping over the Fever Hospital,
Rrcwnluw- hill, &c. on Tuesday. Mr..
Livingston Was observed standing Oh
the outer edge OF the trail Car that sus-
tanned him, and holding only with one
OF his hands nn the netting. This in
stance of Sratuitous daring excited the
greatest astonishment, and some terror:
like many other brilliant achievements
however, it was thought more worthy OF
admiration than of imitation.
