KOTTIKn hams HIRE. 
An ingenious clock and w'atch-maker ur 
Nottingham, is said to have invented a m?.., 
chine, to be applied to the works of a silk, 
cotton, or worsted, mill 5 and w.hich, it is 
supposed. Will keep such .works in their ne¬ 
cessary motion, without the aid of .steam, 
horse, or water. It consists of a perpendicta- 
lar wheel, that gives motion to another with 
octangular arms, which act upon two move- 
able inclined planes ; the latter of which 
operates upon an horizontal wheel, and that 
_upon a cog, which, by being applied to the 
pinion of a mill-wheel, sets the necessary 
works in motion.

LINCOLNSHIRE, 
Mr. Sadler, to the high gratification and 
wonder of the neighbourhood of Heckington, 
descended in his balloon on the 7th of Octo¬ 
ber, iji a field of Mr. Gooson, a few minutes 
before four o’clock. The balloon first struck 
the ground in the parish of Burton, a mile 
and a half from the place where it was se-^ 
cured, and by the concussion Mr. Sadler was 
thrown out of the car, and left on the 
ground. The balloon, thus lightened, as¬ 
cended wnth extreme velocity, with Mr. 
Burdiam, a young gentlemanVho remained 
in it. At length he succeeded in pressinp 
the balloon, sulliciently to occasion it to de¬ 
scend again 5 and, throwing out the anchor, 
it caught JO the parish or Asgarby, and the 
silk of the balloon clung round an ash tree in 
a most extraordinary way, insinuating itself 
amongst the branches, so as to be torn into a 
thousand pieces. The ascent was from Vaux- 
hall-gardens, at Birmingham 3 and the dis¬ 
tance travelled, upwards of one hu ndred miles 
in one hour and twenty minutes ! !
