THE BALLOON - PERILOUS ES CALK OF Jill. KOBBUTTON. Ne.v\ V hk, 8 p ember 19. A I. t g- con nurse ofp. ople assein blei! yesterday afternoon in Castle Garden, to witness the ascent of Mr. Hubert sou —and many thousands were I nurse upon the battery. The day was uur <tu ooiily beautiful, the wind lowing in il rately from the North, rue process of infilling the balloon Wrts not compiled until about 6, o*-t n, wituu vie 11 entered the car. j whi h was handsomely decorated for ttie o< casioti. His attendants having h t the cords, the balloon rose grace fully to the In ight ot upwards of a hundred feet before the wind lud float ed it beyond the circumference of the castle walls. Mr. Robertson stood eret t in the car, flmrishing the ban ners hi his hands, and ft’ ing and b \v nig to the spectators. Unfortunately ; the balloon had been let eft’ directly to the windward of the ling staff, with which it came violently in con tact, in consequence of whi< li the net ting not only became entangled with the staff, nut the car was turned near ly aside down, Mr Robertson hav ing bis back to the Hag staff, bad not time to prevent this collision, which he might otherwise have done with a pole. He had expressed a wish beforehand that the staff might be taken down. li* this perilous situation, with his head hanging down, with his feet up p rieost in the dinging by the Irul netting whi li attached it to the balloon, he remained suspended at the h ight of i ear a liundml feet from tin ground, vibrating in every direc- 1 tilt, while a general shudder ran through the crowd. At tins instant,’ a large rent w s made in the balloon, uml lie gradually descended about fit j teen feet. The spectators cried out to liim, in English, to take hold of the lmlli*rd of the ft g staff. Though m itily black in the fai c, troin Ins po sition, Mr. Robertson was perfectly collected. At this moment a man rlimbed the rope for bis relief, amid the i beers of the spectators, but was unable to ascend nearer than within s< me fifteen leet of Mr. 11. when hi strength failed, and he w*s obliged to desi end. The anxiety of tiie specta tors was now increased to intensity, ant but little hope w:.s entertained of his rest tie, and a shudder ran over the w hole body of spectators. \Y* heard not a sliritk, but many of the ladies w ere in tears of silent agony. It was hardly supposed pos siole that his physical pwers, could lunger sustain him. Still he held on, sometimes apparently by Ills feet, and sometimes by one hand, grasping at any and every thing with the other. At length lie caug.it the rope, and by a powerful efTirt, and one of the most dexterous movements that we beheld, he cleared himself from the car and tiie entanglement of the cords, and was seen suspended by one hand. A hurst of applause cheered him for an instant, and tin til lie caught the rope with his other band, when he descended forty or tif y feet with great v-locity, and I II .he remainder of the distance, but was caught by the people b* low. lie was soon upon his feet, and appeared upon the ten*ice of the garden, where ue was re eived by repeated and hearty cheers. After receiving the congratulations f his friends, the intrepid aeronaut etn ed to a private apartment, where is hands, wtiidi had been blistered nd somewhat excoriated by the cords and the rope in his descent, ,vere dressed. He also lost one ol ‘•is front teeth, hy having seized a ped in his mouth, as he threw him s If from tiie car.* He ws not other wise injured, and we left him I c*t <■ tening in a cheerful mood. During oe whole of this fearful and trying scene, bis presence of mind did not forsake him for an instant. The flag sti-ff never should h ive been plac ed without the wails, and vve are top that M. Il requested its removal. It is computed that 2000 spectators were in the Garden, and 15 000 with out.
