The town was, throughout Yesterday, in a
painful state OF anxiety relative to the fate Of
Mr.. Saddlcr, who, it was known, had as
cended'trom Bolton on "Wednesday afternoon
and th the descent had been thrown from the
car by coming in contact with chimney, and
fell to the ground from a considerable height,
after hanging some time by a rope. The fol-
lowing letters comprise all that is yet known
of the manner of the accident ; and we this
moment learned from the guard and passcn-
gers OF the Bolton Mail, with sincere sorrow
that MIR. Saddler is no more


MIR. >. was on the point Of descending, and
threw out his graphing iron, but the iron
breaking, they were dragged along by the
balloon, and the car coming in contact with
chimney, when the balloon asccndcd to a
considerable height, and then again descend
ed, but Mr.. 5. was so much exhausted that
he fell to the ground. The balloon then
again assembled and again descended near,
Whalley, (about three or four miles from the
spot were Mr.. $. fell) and the car coming in
contact with some rails, the other person was
thrown out and had his left arm broken his
head bruised, and was otherwise injured


Extract of an ether lcttcr--"It becomes my
sad lot to inform you that poor Saddler is no
more. He died thsmorning at eight O'Clock.
What adds more to this misfortune is, the
death of the person at whose house he now
lies, who died yesterday afternoon, from over
exertions III assisting MIR. Saddler.''
