Mis3 Foote." The following from the Dernizes Gazeite of Thursday will serve. perhaps, as an explanation of the above pa- ragraph .-_." The lovely actress, who a few ddys since was within an inch of being united to a wealthy commoner residing in thiscounty, is at the present moment full afoot from being so. The morning appointed for tlie happy event had arrived-a sumptuous breakfast was ptovided by the tather of the intended bride-the clergyman was in waiting-and nothing but the presence of the gentleman was want- ing to censummate the ceremony. It appears that lie had come to 'town for the express purpose, and had taken up his residence at Long's Hotel, to which place, aftler the appointed hour bad elapsed, a messenger was despatched. when- it was found that hiis friends, averse to the niatch, had locked him in Ihis chamber. Under a si- milar confinement the messenger was immediately placed; and a necond messenger, who soon after arrived, shared the like fate. At. length some oe tdie lady's frientds went in- quest of the lover, and reached Long's just at the momenit lie was stepping into hia car- riage, whichl cenveyed him into the CoUntrY. Thus have terminiated the hopes of AIr. ? ooie and his beautiful daughter." BALLOoN DisAPPOINTINIENT.-wrednesday afternoon, | 4 o'clock.-The crier havinig announced that the balloon would as- cend at three, a very large assemblage of personls soon collected on the adjoining hills and in the gardens, and carriages of cvery descrip-. tion were hurrying towards the grounds and the windows of every contiguous house were crowded with lalies. When we arrived at the platform about three o'clock, we found 'every prepa3ation ra- pidly proceeding. The weights that were previously attached to thie netting were taken off, and men were permitting the balloon grade- ally to rise. The balcony of the Saloon, the Saloon itself, the Read- ing-room, and the ground Inside the enclosure, were crowdeA with spectators. A band of music enlivened the scene, and expectation markedeverycountenance. Attthirty-fiveminutet pastthreeo'clock the pilot baUoon was sent up; It took a north.westerly direction, and was hailed by the spectators as an earnest of tbie early kseension of Alr. Graham. The gay aspect of' the scene wtas, bowever, soon ehanged; it began to rain, and the wind freshened every minute; at ten minutes before four o'clock Mr. Graham had- nearly finished fasterningithe lioop of tise car to the ba]loon, and the car was placed on-the platform. At this time the balloon was flapped violently with the wind, and rnany persons wished Mr. Graham to desist. Mlr. Grahain, however, steadOly pursued his employment, and ap- peared cool and collected, and to the last expressed his determina- tion to aseenid if it was the public wislh. He was standing at the side of the platform, when sone gentlenmen asked him if he thought there was danger? He replied, there certainly was. i' Then," said those around him, " by no means ventare-God forbid a man should risk hi life for ouramusement !' This was also the general wish of those assembled in the enclosure. Thtis Pressed, Mr. Graham consented to postpone his ascent to this day. It could have afforded little gratification to the public if his ascent had taken place, the weather being hazy, and in every respect urpleasant, so that the balloon would have beein lost sight of in a few miintes. Those without the walls, who did not pay, expressed loudly their dissatis. faction, and some liberally threatened to tear up the balloon ; but within thegrounds there was a general shout of applause when Mfr. Graharn announced his determination to postpone his ascent. The car in which Mr. Graham intendeAl to ascend weighs 501b. The balloon was lowered down to its former position, and the people soon dispersed.-Brighltos Gazette. iIMa. MARTIN OF GALWAY, A BRA1YIN.-(From tlie Duzblint Star.)-It is a fact more curiotas than surprising, when it is considered, in connexion with Mr. Alartin's love of the brute crea- tion, that the hon. gentleman has latterly become a steadfast believer in transformatien, tranamigration, and mnetempsychosis! ! !-hence, we learn, has been produced his philanthropic suit of feeliigs with regard to the lower order of animals. Mr. iMlartin never, like vulgar people, speaks of death. He talks tily of lii metamorphosis. Nothing, we are persuaded, would shock the member for Galway more thain hii merging into a water-rat, a church-mouse or a watch- dog. Onlv conceive for a moment- how Alr. Martin wouid look were he transformed into a huge surly nastiff, chained to a kennel. Mr. Martin, of Gaiway, uponi the eve of a formner Gene- ral Election, was asked. " Who were the candidates likely to be re- turned ?" " Why," said alr. Alartien, " there arc three of' us. Daly, I think, is safe. The other two are Rirwan and myself." " And which of you will be the other successful candidate ?" said the querist. "s Why the survivor, to be sure," replied iMr. Afar- tin.-Dubli,t Freetnai' Jo07rIal. Sir Everard Home, in a paper recently read before the Royal Society, on the anatoiny and habits of the seal and walrus, remarks the extraordinary coincidence between the foot of the latter unwieldy animal and thatof the insect class of creation, by which they are enabled to adhiereto a waaU or a ceiling. Sir B. Ifonme,on examin. ing the hInd feet of a large walrus, brought home by Captain Sabine from the Arctic regions, found it provided with a hollow space be. neatli, by whichi the animal is enabled to adhere with considerable power to a rock or other declivity. Thc celebrated MIalherbe dinied one day witlh the Arch- bishop of Rouen, who was &amous for being a tedious, duU preacher. Dinner was scarcely over before Alallierbe fell asleep, but was awoke by the. prelate, and invited to go and hear him preach. " I besceeh your Grace," said M1alherbe, "to excuse me, I cail sleep exceed- ngly well where I am." Old Ch4tncellor Fortescue's boast that neither France nor Scotlaid had the cettrage to-commit inch crimes as the people of England, is. so curious that it is well worth givingentire:- " Poverde onely is not the cause, why the Comons of Fraunce rise not ageysi their Soveryng Lord; for there were niever peonle in that lond more pore,- thani wer in our tyme; the comons of the countrey of Caux, which was almost deserte for lack of tyllars: as yt nlow welapperith, by tihe new iusboisdrye that ys done ther: namely, in grobbyng end stockyng of trees, bashes, and grovys, growyn, while we wer thier, Lords of the countrey. A nd yet the foresaid comons of Caux made a marvelous grete rysyiig, and toke our townys, cas- tells, and fortresses; sclewe our capiayns and soldiers, at suc. a time, whan we had but-a tbwex mon of war Iyyng in that countrey; which pronith that it is cowardise and-leek of hartes and corage, that kepith the Prenehe men from rysyng, and not povertye; which corage no Frenche main bail, like co the E:nglish man.
