.TITE - NATION A towards the sea, and apprehensive of falling in the water, he thought it expedient to descend without delay, which he did by suffering a considerable quantity of gas to escape. They soon once more gained a view of the earth, towards which they ra pidly approached. Throwing out a little ballast, they again ascended, hut shortly afterwards they determined to finish their course, and taking measures accordingly, they threw out their grappling irons, which becoming firmly fixed In a meadow near Last Thorpe, they got out of the car with perfect ease, and with the assistance of the multitude collected on the occasion, they emptied the balloon of the inflammable air, and, having obtained a chaise, as above stated , from Iceledon, and fixed their =dal vehicle thereon, they proceeded to Hackney. Mr. Sadler states, that when the carrying pigeons which he took up with him were emancipated from the bag in which they were confined, they took a circular flight, and immediately re • turned to the balloon, on which they perched, as if unwilling to leave it.—Six of them were, however, at length forced from the car, and they winged their course towards the re b ion from whence they had come. The seventh , on whic h the greatest dependance had been placed for carrying inteldgioce to the friends of Mr. Beaufoy, instead of obeying the wishes of his master, flew to the top of the balloon, and there kept its station till the descent, when it flew into a tree, from whence it was driven by , a boy sent up for the piarpose. — lt did not arrive a t home till Friday morning. Mr. Sadler is the first aerial traveller who ever ascended from this country in a fire balloon. He ascended from Oxford in 1777, and proceeded about four miles; in three months after wards lie ascended from the same place, in a balloon which was filled with gas. EARL SPENCER'S GAMEKEEPER. Monday, Wm. Bolt, the man who was apprehended a few days since at Farnham, in Surrey, on a charge of wounding Wm. Astill, Earl Spencer's gamekeeper, at Wimbledon, while in the execution of his duty, Underwent another examination. The evidence of the landlord where' he lodged at Wandsworth was taken, who stated that the prisoner left his house about five o'clock in the mprring the gamekeeper was wounded; that lie filled the bottle with beer, which was found in the field of bar ley where the pi-former ought to have been at work ; also the. hag of victuals, which the landlord proved he took with him. The evidence of Mr. Shillito, of Putney , and Mr. Carlisle, the surgeons, was read. A great deal of it, we lament to say, is still conjecture, the Wounded man remaiuing speechless. It is supposed he was knocked down, and, after he was down, the conclusion is that he received two violent cuts on the left side of his head, above his car. They were both given with co much violence, that the skull and the thin skin which covers the brain were injured; the skull -was so much pressed down upon the brain, that there. as no doubt entertained by the surgeons hut be must be .:uttering the most excruciating torture; and as a proof of it, when Mr. Shillito and Mr. Carlisle wel'e perform ing the operation of dressing the wound, and accomplished the ardnous task of raising the indented part. of the skull train the brain, it gave the unfortunate and -venerable sufferer so much ease, that he shook the operator most heartily by the hand for the 'viler he had afforded him, and, although his tongue had - not utterance, his eyes beamed thankfulness. "l'he surgeons have some hop2s of the recovery of the wounded trati. The prisoner is fuily committed for trial. He proves to he a well known poacher, and was some tinie tan vounded in his thighs, Lt Richmond Ga: :lens, by one of the keepers. A few eveni-^s since the inhabitants of Grant. ham were alarmtd by a very extraor(bnary appear ance in the atmosphere. About half-past seven o'clock, the Eastern and Western parts of the ho rizon appeared like two prodigious columns of fire issuing from immense volcanoes ; the clouds were extremely disturbed, and the rack riding it opposite directions, portended an elementary war. The vane and steeple of the church were illuminated, and the effect produced on the houses in the town scarcely to be described, and reflected a strong . fiery red eight during the phenomenon, which continued neAr half an hour—the air was particularly close. This unusual appeArance vanished by eight o'clock, leav ing a deep impression au the minds of th o se who be . lie d it; E. REGISTER. DRAMATIC LYCEUM. A new Musical Farce was produced at this Theatre on Tues day last, under the title of The Boartting-Hottse ; or, Five Hours at Brighton. This piece it from the pen of a Mr. BEMILLY, son to the at chitect of that name; and, upon the whole, it does him much credit. The dialogue is in many parts uncommonly good, the humour strong, and the satire keen and well pointed. The plot is common place, and not very well conducted. Poor as it is, more might have been made of it. The scenes are not well worked up ; there Is a want of situation, particularly in the 22 act, where an abortive effort is made to excite interest; but still boasting one or two well drawn (not original) characters—a sprightly dialogue, whimsical songs, and good music, by lioxxst, it affords general satisfaction, and goes off with merited eclat. HAYNIARKET. On Tuesday, Mr. and Miss Hot.ataN performed in The Pro voked Husband, as Lord r.nd Lade rowdy. I really think it would be a waste of time to enter into a close examination of their merits and defects, and shall therefore dismiss the stabjtct briefly. Mr. Ho I.J.tAN appeared to greater advantage than in Jqfiier. Throughout he was respectable, but not excellent. Miss HoI.NI AN seemed to make a fay :Arable impresiion in Lady Tardy, zod was well supported. I cannot think she is likel7tO prove a great actress, from what I have yet seen of her. At present she does nut appear capable of doing justice to first-rate characters, or of sustaining them so as to gain much on a Lon don audience. The Fair Penitent was performed on Fliday. In this Mr. HoestAN performed HaratiJ, Mr. ELLIsTot , .Zothario, and Mis HOLMAN, Catista. Mr. HOLMAN deserved greater praise in Horatio than in any character I have yet seen him in, but :ft times he acted too much, and did n. , ,t seem to enter into the spirit of his part. Mr. Et.eis coN did not do justice th the gallant gay Lothario, and Miss IioLM AN, in the imNsssioned parts of Calista, gave but a feeble portrait of the frail but haughty fair one.
