BALLOON.- Yesterday afternoon, at six o'clock, Mr.Graham, accompanied by a young naval officer, named Watson, ascended from Grenwich with his balloon, which went in an easterly direction, and was soon out of sight. It crossed the Thames four times, and at length alighted in the river about 40 yards from the shore, the car lightly skimming the surface of the water, and thus propelled by wind and tide, they were driven about 4 miles, distancing every vessel that attempted to overtake them. They at last landed near Tilbury fort, on the Essex coast, distant 26 miles from town, after an excursion of one hour and 40 minutes.
Messrs.C. and G.Green made a magnificent ascent in their balloon from Newcastle on Monday se'nnight. In a very few minutes they were at an elevation of two miles, and the balloon was clearly seen at Durham, affording great gratification to the inhabitants. The aeronauts finally landed safely near to Potto, in Yorkshire, a distance of nearly 50 miles from Newcastle, having accomplished the voyage in about two hours and three quarters.
A young woman in the service of Thomas Roberts, of Gilfatch, in Glamorganshire, lately voided a tape-worm from the stomach, coiled up and enveloped in mucus, which measured upwards of thirty yards.
The Lion Nero and his Antagonists.- Whatever may be the result of the preparations for this combat, it is certain that the field of battle is already provided. Mr.Wombwelll inspected the cage, or den (which has been built by Drayton and Rowlands, of Shrewsbury), on Monday, and expressed great confidence of winning the stakes of 5000 pounds a side. The den is 57 feet in circumference, 15 feet high, formed of strong iron bars, 7 or 8 inches distant from each other, and covered in with a wooden roof, removable at pleasure. The whole will be fixed upon axletrees and wheels. Mr.Wombwell will not say when or where the battle is to take place. A gentleman of Shrewbury has offered to secure him �1,000. if the fight takes place in that neighbourhood. The charges for admission to see the battle are to be: boxes �3 3s; pit �2 2s.; gallery �1 1s.
Some serious disturbances have taken place at Stroud, among the numerous weavers of that town and neighbourhood, who have struck for wages. On Friday last, several men who had been committing a riot at Vatch Mills were sent to the blind-house, and on Saturday an immense concourse of nearly 10,000 persons assembled, who seized and severely ducked a man that was going to give evidence against the prisoners; no witness appearing against them, they were set at liberty. Mr.G.Wyatt, of Vatch Mills, was severely beaten by the rioters, who ducked no less than 22 poor men, who had gone to work, in order to avoid starvation. On Monday the spirit of insubordination and violence was again manifested in the town and neighbourhood. The rioters ducked three men in Mr.Holbrow's fish-pond; and the disturbance continuing, a party of the Tenth Hussars was sent for to Bristol, upon whose appearance the riot subsided . The mechanics, however, thronged the. streets until Tuesday afternoon, when the principal cloth manufacturers determined upon acceding to their demand for an increase of wages. During the day three more men were ducked. At six o'clock the military were called out to disperse the numerous concourse, in which they did not succeed for some hours; and when that duty was effected, a message arrived from Chalford, requesting their attendance, as the workmen there were very riotous.- There are now eight rioters in custody at Stroud, and several of them have been severely wounded. Many of the victims of their wrath are dangerously ill ; and constables with the aid of Hussars, have been dispatched into various parts of the country to secure offenders.
On Thursday morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr.Hooper, in Friar-street, Reading, which was burnt down, and that belonging to the late D. Anstruther, Esq. completely gutted, before the flames could be subdued. Two men, who occupied the house in which the fire commenced, have undergone an examination before the magistrates, and the result has been, their commitment to the County Gaol.
A theft of a novel nature was committed last night at the village of Strathbungo. Some thieves broke into a new house which is not quite finished, and took out six of the windows, from which they extracted and carried off the whole of the glass, amounting to 72 panes.- Glasgow Courier

It appeared in evidence that the deceased, at the time he received the fatal shot, was, with 30 or 40 other persons, a short distance from the shore, and supposed to have been looking out for contraband goods.- The jury, after a dispassionate investigation, and an elaborate examination of a great number of witnesses, which lasted upwards of fourteen hours, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the said Lieut.Pullen, and against Wm.Young (also of the preventive service), and a person unknown, who were all present at the time the pistol was fired.--- Several other shots were fired by the men of the preventive service, which wounded others of the bystanders, one of whom also received a severe wound from a cutlass.

NEWPORT, June 10.- An unusual number of persons assembled at our town-hall on Saturday last, to witness the examination of Richard Rogers, a butcher of this town, of respectable connections, upon a charge of horses-stealing, an offence known here by name only. It appeared that a horse belonging to Mr. Jonathan Blissell, of this town, coal merchant, had in the early part of the week been stolen from a meadow at Durton Farm, about a mile from hence, which was traced to Chichester, where Rogers had offered it for sale to the landlord of the Fleece Inn, who declined purchasing it under a suspicion that all was not right. Rogers was apprehended at Chichester, and brought here, where the case against him was of such a description as to induce the Magistrates, without hesitation, to commit him to Winchester goal for trial at the ensuing assizes.

Master Pycroft, and Masters Thompson, Heaviside, and Babington, were highly commended. Masters James Pycroft, White, and Fortune, as also Masters Baker, Heaviside, jun. and Nicholas, attracted and deserved particular notice. In short, the lower as well as the upper class seemed well-grounded in the rudiments, shewing that the grammar is carefully learnt and applied in this seminary,- a point of the utmost importance, and without which there can be no sound progress in classical literature.
The managers of the Dorchester Savings Bank held their quarterly meeting on Saturday se'nnight, W.M. Pitt, Esq. in the chair, when it appeared that the deposits amounted to �31530. 7s 3d., and that there was invested in Government debentures �31444. 2s. 10d.
On Whit Monday last, which will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Minall, and the adjoining neighbourhood, a Protestant Free School was opened for the education of the poorer children of that parish, and was one amongst several other charitable bequests of the late rector, the Rev.Charles Francis, who purchased the land, and left �4000. for the building and endowment. The trustees, Daniel Jones Long, Esq. and Charles Few, Esq.; the rector, the Rev. George Pocock Buxton; and the architect, Mr.Abraham, were present. The school-house is situated at the eastern extremity of the retired and richly wooded village of Minall, between Marlborough and Ramsbury, and overlooks the river Kennet, and the skirts of Savernake forest. The building reflects great credit on the architect, who has united beauty to strength and utility. The weather was propitious, and numbers from the neighbouring towns and villages were in early attendance. About one o'clock the children, in number 120 boys and girls, proceeded from Church to the school, in front of which they partook of an excelIent dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, upon two tables spread in the open air. A "splendid shilling" was given to each of the children by Mr.Jones Long, the founder of the feast, who, in respect to the memory of his deceased and revered friend, had provided this and the various other entertainments of the day. A most elegant cold collation was laid out in the school-room for the gay and fashionable visitors who honoured the day with their presence. The whole scene was crowded and animated with youth and beauty. In the evening a large party dined with Mr.Long at the Castle, where every delicacy of the season was displayed in tasteful arrangement. The pleasures of the day arose from many sources, and were much enhanced by the recollection that this was the consummation of the good and noble intentions of a most worthy man-that henceforward the fountain of knowledge was open gratuitously to the present and to future generations- that the children of the poor might have the unspeakable blessing of learning their Creator in the days of their youth.
(From a Correspondent.) On Thursday last a grand dinner was given by the most respectable and public-spirited paymasters of the Hundred of Mere, at the Ship Inn in that town, to Francis Seymour, Esq. to celebrate the success of the Hundred in the suit instituted by the Duke of Somerset for the recovery of �400. for loss sustained by two fires alleged to have been committed by an unknown incendiary, on a farm of his Grace's at Maiden Bradley. The unremitting exertions, active zeal. and distinguished ability, with which Mr.Seymour conducted the defence on behalf of the Hundred, has elicited the warmest and most marked applause of all the discerning portion of the Hundred, with the exception only of those interested, directly or indirectly, on the other side of the question. After the cloth was removed, Mr.Seymour in an able and sensible speech, detailed to the satisfaction of all the company, consisting nearly of 50 persons, the saving effected to each parish of the Hundred by the result of the action. Several loyal and appropriate toasts were drunk, and the utmost unanimity prevailed. The dinner and wines reflected the greatest credit on Mrs.Neale. A subscription to present Mr.Seymour with a piece of plate, to perpetuate the sense of gratitude which the principal occupiers feel for his services, is in active forwardness.
On Tuesday last a most grand and elegant entertainment was given by Dr. and Mrs Langworthy, at their country residence, Prospect-House, near Bath, to commemorate the arriving of their lovely and interesting daughter-in-law, Mrs. Austin Langworthy. To give a full description of the fete would be impossible. Every luxury and comfort that could gratify the eye, and tempt the most Epicurean palate, were amply provided. The festivities of the day commenced at an early hour. Ringing of bells, discharge of cannon, and the enthusiastic sports of the happy and numerous peasantry, sufficiently indicated to the chosen guests invited, that it was set apart for one continued scene of joy and good humour. At 3 o'clock upwards of 200 children of both sexes were plentifully regaled with good old English fare, a fine ox and sheep having been roasted for the occasion. A well-selected band, throughout the day, contributed much to enliven the festive scene. At 5 o'clock a sumptuous repast, consisting of every delicacy of the season, was served up in the saloon to a numerous party of friends. This was followed by a suceession of hospitalities during the evening. The house was brilliantly illuminated with devices appropriate to the occasion, and the lawn tastefully decorated with a profusion of choice shrubs and flowers, in the form of triumphal arches, &c. interspersed with variegated lamps, forming a most beautiful and interesting coup d'oeil - Dancing commenced at eight, and an elegant supper was served at one o'clock - After partaking of a refreshing dejeune a la fourchette, the company separated at five o'clock in the morning, highly gratified with the entertainment provided by their worthy host and hostess.

Procrastination is the Thief of Time.-The numerous parties that daily flock to gratify themselves with a sight of the Panoramas exhibiting in the Assembly Room, universally bestow on them that approbation they so richly deserve: The STORMING of SERINGAPATAM, is very grand, and the representation of the BATTLE of TRAFALGAR, the spectators can survey with calm deliberation an the mingling havoc of that mighty contest, which will ever do honour to the British nation, and has immortalized the name of the British Tar. In the other they behold the CORONATION of a Monarch who is known to have at heart the welfare of a People, of whom, it is his fondest wish to be accounted not only the Prince and the Ruling Sovereign, but the Guardian Protector, the father, and the Friend. These are memorable events which may be coolly narrated and calmly read in the page of history; but on the canvas of the Panorama, they seem to start a second time into real existence- and the spectator sees, or thinks he sees, those splendid scenes in all their genuine spirit and original vivacity.- We learn with regret that it wiII positively close on Saturday the 18th instant, and as such a Panorama might never be in this city again, we are fully persuaded no individual will suffer it to be removed without visiting it. - (See adv.).
MORE HORSE-STEALING.-: On Friday night the stable of Mr.Rogers, at Burcombe, near Wilton, was broken open, and two horses stolen, - one a dark bay mare, 14 hands high, the other a black gelding, 14 hands high. A reward of �25. is offered for a discovery of the offenders.- Another black gelding about 14 hands high was stolen on Sunday night the 5th inst. from an orchard adjoining the road between Shaston and Gillingham, for the recovery of which a reward of 5gs. is offered.
A proper example has been made at Melksham, of four females, named Elizabeth Kite, Sarah Bromham, Ann Jones, and Mary Spencer, who have been committed to the house of correction at Devizes for 14 days, for being loose and disorderly women in the streets of Melksham.
SHEEP STEALING.-This offence demands, fully as much as horse-stealing, the extreme punishment adjudged to it by law. On Tuesday night last a ewe sheep was killed at the fold of Mr. Joseph Tucker, at Newtontoney; the entrails of the animal were found in a corn field near the fold, but the carcase and skin were taken away. The skin was marked with ruddle across the loins and shoulders. A spirited reward of twenty guineas has been offered for a discovery of the offenders.
Committed to Fisherton Gaol:- William Humphreys, of the city of New Sarum, labourer, charged with having on the 10th of May last burglariously broken into the house of James Randall, at Fugglestone St.Peter, and stolen various pieces of cloth therefrom.
