Mr. GRAHAM
Has the honor of informing the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public in general, that he has just completed a most magnificent BALLOON, far exceeding in Magnitude and splendour any Aerostatic Machine ever exhibited in this Kingdom, with which he intends to ascend from the GARDENS of the 
WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE,
Pentonville,
On MONDAY, 18th Inst. at 3 o'Clock precisely.
In the Construction of this Splended BALLOON and its necessary Appendages, neither Labour nor Expence has been spared ;  and Mr. GRAHAM has the pleasure of informing those who may be disposed to honor the Exhibition with their Presence and Support, that, during the whole Progress of the Work, he has been favoured with the Advice and Assistance of
Messrs. Sadlers,
THE AERONAUTS,
Who will superintend the Inflation on the Day of Ascent ; a circumstance, he trusts, which will remove any Doubt from the Minds of those Friends to whom his own Name is not so familiar.
Some Idea may be formed of the Immense Size of Mr. GRAHAM's BALLOON, from the following Particulars : It is composed of 68 Gores or Stripes, each more than 60 Feet in Length, forming a Sphere of upwards of 40 Feet in Diameter. When fully distended it will contain 33,500 Cubic Feet, or 250,600 Gallons of Gas. In the Construction of this balloon, upwards of One Thousand Yards of Material have been consumed.
To prevent the unpleasant delay which has been so justly complained of in most Exhibitions of this kind, liberal arrangements have been entered into with the Gas Company, for a plentiful supply of Gas ;  and to insure the Ascent taking place as nearly as possible to the time fixed upon. The INFLATION WILL COMMENCE EARLY IN THE MORNING.
