{the acronauts being up to their knees, was 
dragged along, the balloon skimming the sur- 
face, and acting as a sail, when the cords of 
-the balloon pointed out that they were drift. 
ding very rapidly from shore up channel. 
After being in. this state a full hour, che 
water increasing very. fast, the boat approach- 
ed; when every effort was made to secure 
sad exhaust the balloon. Here a point of 
honour was disputed between the two aero- 
‘maule, which should quit the car first, it being 
then in asinking state; but Mr. Sadley insisting: 
tha: Mr. Clayficld should first leave ‘the car, 
it was agreed to, under the impression that 
Mr, Sadler had more experience in securing 
the balloon, which took nearly two hours to 
accomplish; when Mr. Sadler stepped into 
the boat. About nine o'clock at night, the 
‘party, unable, from the roughness of the 
beach, to walk without assistance, arrived at 
the pier of Lymovth, a small romantic sea- 
port, under Linton, where refreshments were 
‘most hospitably supplicd, and they were en- 
s@pled to reach the town of Linton, on the top 
of the hill. Congratulations accompanied 
the aeronauts through every town on their 
way to Bristol, where they arrived about 
twelve aclock on Wednesday 26th, to the great 
‘gntisfaction, and amidst the heart-felt cheer- 
“ings of the citizens of Bristol; after having 
_passed over, in their aerial Aight, upwards of 
eighty miles of water, and about twenty 
smiles of land. The barometer having met 
wth an accident, which-_rendered it useless, 
fo accurate account of the height to which 
ghe balloon asgended, could be taken 5 but the 
_geronauts conceive that they must have risen 
full two miles and a half.”

In the night of Wednesday, October 16th 
2 five broke out at the house of the Rev. Mr. 
Guide, at Frumpton, about seven miles from 
Dorchester, which was occasioned by the neg- 
ligence of a servant in setting fire to the 
_ drawing-room curtains. The house was ree 
duced to.a heap of rubbish, and not a particle 
of furniture was saved. A son of Mr. Guide 
lost his life in the flames, and a maid-servant 
was so shockingly burnt in searching after the 
child, that she is not expected to survive.
