Mr. Graham's Balloon.
Yesterday the procest of' inflating Mr. Grshanlai'm balloon was resumed, in the field of the Wtindsor Castic tavern, Ilainnersmith, hut a recurrence of disappointment took place. The crowd was not considerable, but cnough had p aid their moniey, to render some acl- dress necessary on the part of the friends of the aeronaut. At nhec o'clock in the morning, thc gas-pipe was arraniged for supplving the balloon, and the operation was slowly carried on until two o'clock, whien the gas was withdrawvn, althoutgh the balloon appeared not to have received any verv sensible increase froim thc application of the morning's labours. Those on the nlatforrm ii tlha iimnediate ens. ployment of the aeronaut, however, said, that sufficient buoyancy had been obtained to support one adventurer in the clouds, and that Mlr. Adams, not Mlr. Graham, was ready for the voy- age. Notwithlstatding this assurance, there were many Who thoughit the business very like a ho::x, from the bustle whichi prevailed to keep the balloon flapping tsbout, by relaxing the cords whichi bound it, without anv attempt being made to attach the car, wlichi lay near it. Whispers were utteretd in the crowd, that the stormy state of the weather would not suffer Mr. Graham to ascend, anid at length, after an hour's preparution for dis. appointmcint, a friend of Alr. Grahlam's addressed the spectators from the platform. After an exordiuni upon the state of the weather, which was certainly boisterous at the titne, hc askel the crowdl whether thicy could expect that Mlr. Graham would expose his life for their aniusement, whicih hc niist certainly do if he aseend- ed that nioment. Those whto were near the speaker declared they hath no desire to see Air. Graham break his neck fortheiramusemcnt, but tltcy hinted, that as they had had no amusement, it was only cqultahle to rettinrn tte moncy whichi was paid for admission. The financial past of the business rendered it necessary that Mr. Gra- linn shoulId hitilcif explain, mnd he admitted the Fairness of the alternative, but accompsanied it vith the compendious qualification tIat ns twro-thirds iIad thtaitied admission withoitt paymnent, he had no meuans of selcction to govern the reimburseinent. The balloon contiutmnd flapping, tmt( the conversation kept pace with it, between thlost relo Ihati p:aid their money, those who evidently had not, and wlio were the niost vociferoas of all for reimburse,ncnt, and thoe nctronalnt hiklitcit; when it length, at four o'clock, a sort of conl- plrotilse toolt Olace, nd ilt r. Graham pledlged himself (with thie ex. celletit quitllkoti%nu tif wind and weather permitting), that he would wctind ta Oltt o'eleek to.tmorrow, and that all present should bave re.adilklnion. l tpon tlitl understanding, the crowd separatedl at five oehohlt, atid ihP ntuessary arrangemncnts were. made ftir the pre. Hervatitiii l thQe balloon for business to-morrow (this day). A corrosqmondetit informs us, that in the -arden of Alr. H. Coley, 1, lorhaml-place, Hlackncy-road, is a Datlia, grown upon a w2al, clevcn f'et In lheight, ten feet in breadth fron) stem to steltA and five inchies in widths round the stalk. This plant is presumed to be the largest in thc world of this description; it is very double, and of a fine dark purple. AR. GRAHAM'S BALLOOA.
