MIR. Payne COllier's Reprints.

Mr.. ]. Payne Collier has sent the following
communication to the London Atheneam:-
MADEEHEAp, Feb. 22.-At the risk of SEEM
ing to make my nugg antique OF more Ina
portance than they really possess, l have
again to ask the editor of the AHen@um to
give me an opportunity of stating exactly how
the case stands between myself and those
friends who have hitherto supported me in my
endeavor to preserve old and valuable relics
from the chance of oblivion. Already, at the
cost only OF print, paper, and sometimes
transcripts, l have placed between sixty and
seventy productions of the reigns OF
Elizabeth and James the First beyond the
reach of destruction; and, as an occupation
and amusement of my old age, wish to con-
tinue this employment; but as have of late
observed some slackness on the part OF a few
of my former encouragers, l may be allowed
to stir them up to little more energy ana
enterprise.
AS to the pecuniary value of my reprints,
can only say, that If any of those who have to
this date received them are desirous OF getting
back the small sums they have expended,
will not only do that for them, but great
deal more; for any copies of my Red and
Green Series, in good state, will gladly pay
| them twice the sum they themselves orlgl-
nally disbursed; for my Blue Series l have in
vain offered three times as much as 1t cost;
and as my Yellow Series proceeds l am con-
fdent that the few recipients who have Sc
ceded Con account partly of the necessarily
increased price, owing to the larger bulk of the
pIoductions) will regret their poor parsimony.
If obtained any, the smallest profit, from
the undertaking, there might be some reason
Tor this backwardness. In order to prevent
mistake in this respect, l will here subjoin an
exact statement how the account stands with
reference to Thomas Nash's "Have with you
to Saffron Walden" 1885, the reprinto which
l sent round three days ago. Issuing only so
copies, have, till now, divided the expense
OF print, paper, and transcript into as many
portions; but as the number OF my subscribers
/ has recently decreased from 80 to 43, l have
, been unwillingly compelled to charge a triAe
more for each copy. The account therefore
stands thus

balloon view ofa london Fog.

BALLOON view OF a. London FOgs
A London paper ssys:-"On Wednesday
afternoon, when London and the suburbs we're
enveloped in dense fog, Mr.. Coxwell made
n balloon ascent from the Hornsey Gas Works
The ascent took place at 240, when the at
mosphere was clear. Soon after o'clock the
fog extended exactly in the direction the bal
loon was travelling, and presented strongly
defined line of vapor stretching for miles in
an easterly direction. The formation of this
fog, as witnessed by Mr.. Coxwell from his
balloon car was, we hear, one of the most
interesting occurrences in the adventurous
life of the experienced Rronaut, and will
no doubt be fully described. Over the
forest, near Woodford, Mr.. Coxwell and his
companion were unable to see
the earth at height of only fifty feet, and
il was only by the aid of a rope trailing on
the ground that they we're enabled to regulate
their course so as to select an open spot on
which to alight. While holding conversation
with some men who were following the bal
loon, and could only hear the rustling of a
rope among the bushes and trees, the mro-
nauts were supposed to be poschers Keep
ers, who were in close pursuit, rushed upon
the strangers, when Mr.. Coxwell cast his
grapnel in hedge, and great was their sur
prise when they discovered what kind of a
net and cordage it was trailing over the park.
So dense was the fog that the balloon could
not be seen, and the voyagers were supposed
to be running along the ground, although
Mr.. Coxwell proclaimed his balloon, but this
was thought to be ruse to draw off the
keepers attention. Notwithstanding the diff
ficult position Mr. Coxwell was placed in as
to landing still a safe descent was made"
