BALLOON ASCENT AT SrAssroeti.—Saturday, Mr. Green ascem'ed at Stamford, accompanied by Miss Stocks, being tie first exhibition of the kind in that part of the country. A vast concourse of people were present, and among them the Marquis and Marc!tioness of Exeter, Lord I'. Cecil, Miss Poyntz, and many persons of rank and fashion. About twenty-five miles from Stamford the balloon descended, near to the village of Thorney. Mr. Green very carefully first grounded the ear of the balloon, by means of the grappling-iron, in a field of wheat, and advised his intrepid companion to alight, which she did with great promptitude. Mr. Green was now aware that by letting out the remainder of the gas considerable damage might be done to the green corn, and was also apprehensive that a crowd might gather round him, and destroy a great part of the standing wheat. He desired a labourer who now arrived and had got hold of the rope, to quit his hold, it being his intention to go a few fields farther off. The grappling-iron having lost its bold on the ground, the balloon and car skimmed the edges of several fields, and weal nearly three-quarters of a mile more before it finally grounded itself. The man was pulled up a heigr tot ten or fifteen feet, and falling down, appeared at brst rather stunned, but soon recovered himself, and v.as able to follow the balloon and render further a:• sistarce. The bold aeronaut being joined by Miss Stocks, procured a chaise and four, and safely reached Stamford at half-past nine o'clock, where the brother of the Marquis of Exeter was waiting, and kindly invited him to Burghley-house. It is computed that Mr. Green has, cleared 1401. by his trip: it was his 86► h ascent. An arrest of judgment has been moved in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, in the cast• of the four men found guilty of an outrageous assault, of a murderous 'mune, on the 29. h ult: Their conviction was under, Lord Ellenborough's Act, and the basis of the exception is the word a 4 waind" in *the indictment, *hid) word is not in the Statute. The decision of the Judos, was not known when the last Dublin Papers came away. In 1607. Dormington Park, in Leicestershire, containing 300 acres of ?wares was :deed at only 134 if. id. per atuatos.
