gagged in firing salute from tho ship Anne, at Bris-
tol, one Of the men, Mr.. John Thompson, Of that
place, met with very serious accident. He was
in the act oframming down one Of the guns, when
il accidently exploded and bruised and manged his
right hand to such degree, that amputation was
considered necessary which was performed by
DR.. Holmes, assisted by Drs Briggs and Weeden.
The arm was taken off just above the wrist joint.
Mr.. T. we understand is respectable and very in
dustrious citizen of that town, and has large fam
lily dependent on his excrtions for support and we
hope that the citizens Of that place with their nc
customed liberality, will bestow upon this unfor-
tunate man those charities and sympathies which
his case so loudly demands.

Munro, Capt. Aaron Easterbrooks, Jr and George
ii. Reynolds, Assistant Marshals, and proceeded
direct to Horizons Hotel, where rooms had been
provided for his reception. (The military did not
escort the procession to the Hotel, on account Of the

ing from the Boat, in consequence Of the exTeme
unpleasantness ofthe weather; but Of receiving his

fantry, Capt Wright, and Artillery, COL Dush.-
The streets through which the President passed

In concluding our acconut of the re-
ccpt,on Of the Presid ent, we have only to
remark, that tho day was remarkably
pleasant, With a gentle breeze from the
westward, and the whole proceedings were
conducted in a manner highly crednabie
tothe managers.
In addition to the steam boat North
America, there were the Ohio, Hercules
and Rufus King, which accompanied the
former to Amboy, crowded with passen-
gers, and returned with her, and all we're
Beautifully decorated with flags. On ap-
rroaching the city, numerous steam and
rail boats were plying about the river,
which, with the crowds Of men and women
in the Castle Battery and on the house,
tops in the ne,gborhood, gave to the
whole scene brillancy Of effect that we
havo never before witnessed.
We have learnt, since writing the above,
that Mr.. M'Lane has been in company
with the President since he left the Capt.
raj, but that Mr.. Woodbury. joined him
yesterday at Amboy, direct from Wash
ington, bringing with him copy Of the

At the moment when the steam boat got
under way, the whole escort and the citi-

THE AscExsloE.--Mr. Durant made
his sixth, and most successful ascent yes
|terday afternoon from Castle Garden
So early rs two o'clock, visitors began to
repair to the spot, and before the period OF
the nronaut's depsrture, that spacious
rotunda was crowded with spectators.--
1t is computed that 5000 persons within
the garden, and 80 900 upon the battery,
bsheld the fight. The cord that held
the balloon to the earth was cut by the
voyager at half past five but those that
fastened the car to the balloon struck at
its first rising, against the western side Of
the saloon. 1t was then drawn back into
the area Of the garden, but in short
space Of time Mr.. D. again cut loose
from earth, and was waRed into the re-
Qions of air. The celebrated Green has
made more than an hundred ,ncursions in
to the regions Of the birds, but never with
more beauty or grace than Mr.. Durant on
Yesterday. The morning that had bceu
overcast, cleared away about two, and
disclosed the blue canopy in cloudless
splendor. The wind was favorable ard
the qualification ofthe immense multitude
who witnessed the performance, was man.
ifested by loud acclamations. The bal
loon was visited until diminished by dis
lance to the apparent size of speck, and
then was discerned to descend towards the
verge Of the horizon, and was finally lost
sight sf. 1t moved towards Long Island
where Mr.. d. aIighted upon the race
ground, and was reconveyed to the Gar
den in two hours after his ascent. His
greatest altitude was 1896 feet. This
w,. in about 6 minutes after he arose, the
,bermorueter then standing at 76 degrees.
Ar this perjod he loosed a carrier pigeon
helonoinr to Mr.. Van Dyck, of Brooklyn,
and 3o,ed on i,s label the state OF the
Thermometer and barometer, with the
words calls WE'LL" This messenger
r.ncbed it's destination 10 due season, and
was brought to Castle Ga!den ny IT'S own
or some time previous to nv. D.'s return.
On hearing the earth he found h,mse''
likely to be entangled in some woods I'M
mediately below him, which induced h'm
again TO ascend, and make his f'naI lang
ing upon Mother Earth on the spot we
have previously named. The President
arrived soon fer FIVE in the Garden, ard
bowed to the spectators from the Saloon,
but being fatigucd by hw excursion 70

Since the above was written, we have

Ifancc from Castle Garden to the spot on
which he landed, is ten miles. He would
have continued up longer, had he not as

Out Of pity Capt. S. took

conduct, Capt. S. was compelled to Put
