CAMBRIDGE AND ftXTN T1N G D ON 8 K I ft E. 
On Saturday, June 29tb, the Duke of 
Gloucester was installed as Chancellor of the 
University of Cambridge, amidst the usual 
splendid ceremonies and an immense assem¬ 
blage of public characters. 
To add to the eclat, Mr. Sadler ascended 
in a balloon on Wednesday» and made a safe 
voyage into Essex. The following is his own 
account: ** Ascended 15 min. past 2 o’clock; 
lost sight of Trinity college in 3 minutes; 
min. more lost sight of Cambridge entirely j 
in'\3|^ minutes entered a mass of clouds, 
through which the balloon continued ascend¬ 
ing, and in 6 minutes more was clear of the 
clouds. The clouds must have been nearly a 
m'le in thickness, la a few minutes, the 
balloon still ascending; observed its shadow: 
was then moving with great velocity in a di¬ 
rection nearly east: balloon continued rising 
until 10 min. past 3 o’clock ; barometer 13. 
thermometcr23. From the directioiiand velo¬ 
city of the wind, at the only time there was an 
opportunity of observing the progress of the 
balloon, fearing to be carried off the coast, 
descended; but finding by the barometer that 
the fall was very rapid, threw out some ballaht 
to moderate it—-this occasioned an ascent tor 
a siaort time ; again d; scendeu. Observing a 
small copse near at hand, in the direction 
the balloon was taking, endeavoured to land 
near the edge of it, but the balloon taking 
the ground in the midst of a barley-field, re¬ 
bounded completrly over the copse, and after 
dragging across a field, it was for an instant 
arrested in its c urse by a hedge: a man here 
eamc to assist, but the car was torn; disen¬ 
gaged by the violence of the wind, and drag¬ 
ged, with tire ram bolding on, until stopped 
by another hedge, the hoop entangled in a 
tree. Another man here got up, who was 
soon followed by a considerable number, with 
whose assistance the balloon Was secured, but 
nor until after it was considerably torn. En¬ 
countered in the decent a severe squall of 
wind. Completed the voyage at 50 min. past 
three, in a field near Siandtm, in Hertford¬ 
shire. From the vciecity of the balloon it 
must have passed over nearly ejglity miles.’*
