.er PROCEEDLYas .oF THE BALLOON rommirrEs VF THE BRITISH Assoclano.v. At the meeting of the British Atirsociatioe at Man chester lad year, • resolutioe was pawed appointiag the following members of the Royal Society • balloon com mittee : —('olonel Sykes, M.P. (chairman), the Right lion. tool AVrottesley, Sir David Brewster, Sir J. Herschel), General Sabine , Dr. Lloyd, Admiral Fitzroy, Dr. Lee, Dr. Robtoson, Mr. Glaislier, Professor Airy, Mr. Gisaiot, Dr. Tyndall, and Professor W. A Miller. Simultaneously with the appointment 2001. was placed at the committee's disposal, to enable them to carry out their expe riments. This sum the committee propose to ex. penal in making four secrete, two in the present month, and two later in the year. At altmeting of the committee, bold lad week. was melees) that the first two sweats should be mule from Wolverhampton —the Ant on Saturday. and the secood cm - Monday or Tuesday. It wee desired that an &Bite& of e ve wiles should, if Feas t ble. be attained. A balloon to boll, as would is that case be seemeary, betwese 60,000 and :0,(101) rabic feet of gas wan not, it was foum sow to be obtained in England. The largest, it was ensisselest, was the " Royal Normandy," which would bold eanr remise) feet. This balloon they therefore obtained, Yi googol as an aerimant Mr. Lythgoe, who has wide lit ascents, principally from Cronsonsa The balloon, with • complete appentua fur taking the required mete observations, was delivered at Wolverhampton °r= evening. Lord Wrotteeley made the neceseery metes with the Wolverhanwtoo Gee Company far :la 14 gas, and in the evening Colonel Silvio (the chartroom committee) Dr. Lee, Mr. James Crldeber, the saperinteadent of the magnetic and nateorolqpical departments of the Royal I ibeersdory, Greenwich, aid Mr. Henry his assistant, all arrived in Wolverhampton. The doers cations, it was arranged, should be istrusted to Mr. Cris wick, who duce wee to accompany the aeronaut The paw within the boundary of the Stafford-road works of the Cies Company mesented the oely spot for the tallaihigef tholvallow very Dear to the gasometers. That ooset spot was therefore selected for the purpose ; to it wee dedwad to make the ascent at nom on Saturday. 841010 that hour the members of the committee. whose names have bees already mentioned, were joined by Lord Wrotweley and Mr. W. Fairhurst (the President of the British Anoclatise), who bad come from Manchester specially to whore the ascot, awl others. At twenty minutes to two the voyageurs ascent's) lowly and deatilly, and ameba the plaudits of the company were wafted away upon • quiet breeze almost dee north. After re. •rag for a few minutes at no great altitude, the bellow was lightened, and she quickly swiped • height of. it MIS estimated, nearly a lade. By the time she had met with • counter current, awl in 13 minutes after her ascent sM was lost sight of, wg in a somewhat westerly direction. The objects world to be obtainer! are twofold First, to encertain the law of the decrease of temperature in propor tion to olevatioe ; next, to determine the distribution of moisture throughout the atmarphere. Other etniasphorimi phenomena it was desired to bis noticed, but to three two points the observer was to devote his attention. Nuenewens beautiful instruments he which to make observations WWI specuilly provided fee the occasion upon the most approved principle. Mr. Criwrick naturist to Wolverhampton at mid eight The balloon proved utterly unseaworthy. A height of not more than a mile could lie obtained, 'tied the ma chine came down from sheer inanAloo at • distance from Wolverhampton of red more than seven miles. The Royal Normandy had scarcely got . fairly up before the gee was found to escaping from innumerable old routs. Previously to and also duriog the time of nineties it wa pereeived that • large Dumber of such defects had been covered with paper ; but it was believed that the repairs were complete enough, certainly for this voyage, and it does not appear that they were. (Kher defects, however, had either been overlooked, or were only *waiter the circum stances which this inflation presented to develop themselves. Anyhow, ootwithwareling that the valve was not opened, the gas escaped rapidly from different parts of the machine, and the throwiog out .4' all the tallest was insuffi cient to pine the voyageurs and the collapsing Balloon from &wending into • coppice at ebillingtoo. finch was the district in which a lauding had been effected, that it was four hours before the travellers could obtain • vehicle to remove the disabled balloon out of the field. Whether the sewed sweat will be made on Teasley remoras to be sletemeoed. That 110:40i certainly cannot be made on Monday (this day), but should the aeronaut report that she could he so far repaired as to justify an ascent on Tuesday, the committee will discuss the desirability of resuming the observations on that day.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE ILIPREBB. Stw,—The last of the early spring meetings to which any importance attaches took place at Warwick (for Shrewsbury is a dead failure, from the appearance of the programme), and but for the wretched weather it would have been a brilliant affair, the ground affordieg such tad going that many gentlemen with horses on the spit de clined running them. It would hardly be fair under the cireumetancee to implicitly follow the running at the meet ing ; if it were, Blackcock's performance in the Trial Stakes would be anything but creditable to this year's 3.yr-olds. as he never had a chance with either Camenno. Aurelian, or Cosmopolite, and finished some distance behind the trio, in oompauy with Audrey, who no very short of work. The old Frenchman did not appear even in quite so good condition as at Liverpool, and it was asserted he had been amiss ever since Weft there; hence Csmerino won very easily, and if he can keep quiet in a crowd of borne the City and Suburban is not beyond his mark, seeing they took sto I about Thunderbolt with 2lb more to carry last year, when it was doubtful if could stay . the course. Blackoock's running does not say moth for Ensign, in whose company he gallops at home, sod If Omelettes has so bettorschoolmeeter it will take some money to keep him a favourite for the Derby. Jiving' stone won his two races very easily, and it is set often we sea such a two•year eld,who would be gather naiades blithe 1863 Derby betting but for his infirmity, which may prevent him getting overmany a T.Y.C. this wawa. The sow of Grieving and Pagoda for the Great Warwickshire= cap wee somewhat swing, seeing the favourites mode of them, more especial] y Lord Stamford's home ; but his backers must sot complain, as it would hardly have been policy to risk hie good chance for the Cheater Cep (mppo sin gng he could have woe here) by running him over such ground, and after the performance of one of hie " trial horses," Loiterer, in the Willoughby. it might have been considered the prise was hardly good enough for Pagoda, who lost his party some mousy by going amiss last spring. and must win a greater stake than can be found at Warwick to compensate them. Organelle ran no better than Cliff's other prpresent•tives this yam, and must, with The Priori, of Denmark, improve at least :NM, to have any chance in the Chester Cep, for which the former's stable-cornpaniort, Zodiac, ought not to be such a " pot" in future.

The Admiralty have cancelled the order for the comple tion of the Black Priooo by the end of April, and have ex tended the time till towards the close of June. With the staff at present employed on board the ship, large as it is, it we. found to be impossible to pt her out of band by the time originally specified. WOOLWICH, Mmtcri 23. Amongst the articles now in preparation at the Royal Arsenal for the purpose of bsUg forwarded to the International Exhibition, lea large iron column 30 feet high, which will be provided with branches from which will be suspended the coils and each separate portion of an Arm strong gun, with • view to show the different stages of manufacture. A model battery of rifled ordnance, with car riages, portable forge, ice., will also be exhibits . And from the laboratory department, a model of the Late rifle bullet machine invested by Mr. Anderson will be forwarded. The commheionses have forwarded to the novena heads of departments at the Royal Animal • statement of the amount claimed from the =rims liable to payment of income tax. The tax will be levied upon each workman at the pay table in fear weekly bistalmeeta. A large num ber of the men denounce thie tax as a peculiar hardship, inasmuch as in numerous eases the annual income which renders them liable is made up by the wages paid for over hours and night-work, when their services were actually called for by the War Department.

Sviinclovs Oocuansistcs.—At about 7 o'clock on Saturday evening a respecta bly e dressed man, accompanied =male, entered Barrow s °offer-hones, No. 10, Seymour- Enstonsquare, and engaged • sleeping apartment for the night. After they had retired about an hour the female maw eat of the bedroom, apparently iu great alarm, and infernal the proprietress of the house that her com pilation was taken ill, and she was afraid he was on the =f a ilsahli. On receiving this intelligence the landlady ap stairs, and on entering the room and observing the am extended on the bed, partly dressed, but in a date of insensibility, immediately sent for Mr. Thompson, surgeon, of Crawleyatreet, who promptly attended, and on examina tion fi nding that life was extinct ? and that the circumstances bore a suspicious aspect, detained the female until the arrival of the police. The deceased appeared to be about 40 years of age, his clothes were of a superior quality ; a gold watch, ring, studs and pin, with 17s. in silver, were found on his person, but nothing to indicate his name or residence. information of the occurrence was transmitted to the coroner, and the woman, who represents' herself as married, and as residing with her husb an d at Islington, remains in custody to await the remit of an investigation. SHotILINO DEATH 07 A CKILD.—On Saturday afternoon an investigation was held by Mr. John Hum phreys, the Middlesex meaner, at the George and Dragon, Hoiton•rnarket, touching the death X a ch il d named Louisa Potter, aged one year, who was killed while being carried in arms along the Old-street•read by the fall of a heavy mahogany bureau from areond-Soorwindow. From the evidence it appeared that a lodger in the house of Mr. Goodie:, at No. 38, Oldstreet-road, being about to re move, procured the assistance of three of the shopmen, and they proceeded to lower the bureau in question from the window into the street by ropes.

ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN ON THE GREAT WES TERN RAILWAY.-05 Friday night an accident which pre sented great probability of proving very serious in its results befel the down mail train from Paddington. The train pro ceeded safely as far as Beading, where it was due at a few minutes before tea o'clock, and continued its course until the cutting between Pangbourne and Goring stations was reached, but here the Mt, by some means got off the line, and ran along the timbers for some distance, when the en gine became deeply embedded in the earth, so near the up line that the train from Bristol actually struck the engine of the mail train in passing. Information of the accident was conveyed to Reading by the officials of the up- w train, and the district superintendent (Mr. A. Higgins), ith • number of men, travelled to the spot without delay, and the work of clearing the line was at once commenced. The blockage was, however, Ro great, that the task lasted throughout the night, and considerable inconvenience was occasioned. The single line wan worked for both up and down traffic until the road had been cleared, but at one time there were no fewer than four or five luggage trains waiting between Twyford and Reading to continue their downward journey. Fortunately no person was injured. The mail train merely carried the bags and the Post-office officials.

W. E. Wall, a clergyman in the country, came to town in 1852 to prosecute his studies for the m ed ial profession at King's College. He soon afterwards became acquainted with the respondent, then Anne Coleman, alias Clarke, a person in a much lower rank of life, and on the 11th of June he married her at St. larylebone Church in such haste that the bride's wedding garments had to be made afterwards. He resided with her at lodgings in University-street, Totten hams:ourt.road, till the month of November, 1858, when a separation took place on account, as he alleged, of her misconduct. .11e made her, however, an allowance of 2/. per week. She went to reside with an acquaintance of hers at Bow, named Matthews, and this person's huaband had business relations with one Wyatt, who was at that time in practice as an attorney. Matthews atom 'brought him to his house, and he became very inti mate with the respondent. They soon afterwards began to cohabit together. For the defence a witness was called to show that Mr. Wall was accustomed, after the separation, to frequent a casino in Newman-street, and to consort with prostitutes, but she wholly failed to substantiate the plea. The jury, therefore, found for the husband, and— The court made trfth COAL Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock a fire broke out at the mansion known as Campden House, the prourty of Mr. W. F.

Adjoining this mansion was another almost as large, termed the Elms, belonging to Mr. Augustus Leopold Egg, A.K.A., who at the present time is away In Africa on Winces.

GUILDHALL Anthony Detleiw, who recently absoonded from the sir vice of Alderman Wilson, taking with him • valuable set of scientific instruments, anew suit of clothes, and 121.10 e. in money, received on his maater's account, was brought up for final examination, relative to charges of embezzling 121. 10s. and 51., and a third charged forging Alderman Wilson's name to a reoeipt for 51. Mr. Beard now called evidence to show that the prisoner received the two sums in question, and had not accounted for them, and that he wrote a receipt in Alderman Wilsou'e name for • sum of 51., which amount he appropriated to his own use. The receipt was produced, end proved to be • very clever imitation of the alderman's hand-writing. The prisoner pleaded to all the charges, and was then committed for . Louisa Wood, evidently an obstinate and turbulent woman, aged 49, was charged with annoying and assaulting Mr. Hobert Summers, a solicitor, of 5, New Bridge-street, under the following circumstances Mr. Summers said, about 18 months ago the prisoner met with an accident on the premises of the Commercial Dock Company, and instructed him tobring an action agaiesttbem for negligence. There were three actions in the Superior Court at Guildhall, and the jury ultimately awarded the prisoner 2801. damages, subject to the decision of the full court upon a point of law, which was re served. The full court gave their decision against the prisoner, but they thought, as she bad been put to great expense in the three actions, and the company hasinot given her earlier information of their plea of non-liability, the di rectors ought to allow her something towards her oasts. The company accordingly granted her 1001. which was paid over to him pair. Summers), and after deducting a ram of 821., that being much below what the taxing-master would have allowed, he offered the prisoner the balance of 181., but she mid she would have all or none, and instructed a solicitor to recover the whole of the 1001. for her. He made out his bill of costs and sent it to the solicitor and heard no more from him ; but in the meantime the doctor who attended the prisoner for the injuries she received through the accident, not having been paid, sued out an attachment in the Loa Mayor's Court, and the 181. balance was in consequence paid over, so that he had nothing now belonging to the prisoner. She, how ever, persisted in annoying him by frequent demands for the 1001., aorneti.nee resnaioing in the office font or five boors at a time, and telling every client that he would be swindled as she had been, and at others yelling and screaming at the clerk in • most fearful manner ' 'was to obstruct the whole business of the o ffi ce. On Saturday morning she came with the old story, and, on being re moved she assaulted Mr. Summers, and broke his specta cle. The prisoner produced the newspaper report to show that " the 1001. was knocked down to the plaintiff," and mid that Mr. Summers had never offered her a farthing. Sir Y. G. Moon required the prisoner to find two niceties in 101. each to keep the pesos for six months, and in de fault committed her to prison. THAMES. Elizabeth Milford, • woman about 23 years of age, ap peared before erMr.j Belie on • summons, charged with wilful and corrupt pury. Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor, appeared for the prosecu tion • Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, for the defence. Oi the 3rd of January last the defendant affiliated a bastard child on Mr. John Edwards, an omnibus proprietor, of Waterloo-yard, Georgiana-street, Camdenetown : and she then swore that she was living at No. 3, New York street, Philpot-street, Mile-end Old-town • that she had bad no intercourse with any man except W. Edwards, for twelve months prior to the bat h of the child, and that he was the father of it. The corroborative evidence was by woman who gave the name of Webb, and her They deposed to frequent meetings between Illabetl; Milford and Mr. Edwards, and to his ebbing • house of accommodation with her. The perjury new swiped was, that the defendant. Elizabeth Milford, pus Ulm address on the 3rd of January ; and secondly, that she had been cohabiting with • man named May, who, if not her hmeband, heel passed as her husband, and lived with her until within • few days of her affiliating the child on Mr. Edwards. Mr. Beard denounced the whole affair as a conspiracy to extort mousey from Mr. Edwards, who had suffered in reputation, and been put to great expense in defending himself from the charge brought against him by Elizabeth Milford. He should prove that Mrs. Webb and her daughter were the mother and dater of Milford, who had extorted 50i. from • gentleman on whom she had affiliated a child three years ago, and that knowing Mr. Edwards was • wealthy man had expected to obtain 601. more from him to avoid exposure. A summons was originally taken out by Milford against Mr. Ed emas, which was beard before Mr. Knox at the Warship street police-court, and dismissed for want of corroborative proof. She then took out • second summons at the Thames Police-court, produced corroborative evidence, and obtained au order for , the payment of 2s. 6d. per week and expenses. Ile would be able to prove that the woman was living in the Thames Police-court district when she said she was living in the Worship-street district, and that she was dwelling in the Worship-street district when she took out the second summons and swore she was living in the Thames Police court district. Mr. Edwards was then called, and gave evidence at great length, denying that any intercourse had ever taken place between him and the woman Milford, and said that the story she bad told about her &accompanying him to her dwelling in Charlesetreet, Horton, and passing the night with him on several occasions, war • falsehood. In the course of his examination by Mr. Beard he disclosed a rather singular fact. He was robbed of a large sum of (5W.) two years ago, and gave • notorious thief into y, who was d' An In action for false impri sonment was brought him. The verdict was in his favour. The plainti • solicitor May, and he also appeared in the a ffi liation case at the Worship-street Police-court and the Thames Police-eourt. Esther Mann, the landlady of the house No. 3, New York-street, n ear the London Hospital, Stepney, laid the defendant hired • room of her in the month of January, 1861, and said she was msrried, and that her name was May, and introduced a man to her as Mr. Mae. She also filled up the census paper as Ms y, and described her husband as • clerk in the India-house. Mr. May, her pretended husband, ain the practice of calling at the house almost daily. The child affiliated by defendant on Edwards was born on the 12th of March. On the 3rd of May last the defendant said May was not her husband. The defendant left her houasand gave up the key on the 26th of December, and was not living vrith her on the 3rd of January, when she affiliated the ch naffse prosecutor. In crose-examy Mr. Young, the witness said that Mr. May, the pretended husband, never slept in the house, but be wes time every day, except for one fortnight. He bad sees them kireelag each other. W. Self@ remarked on the extraordinary coincidence that Mr. May, the solicitor, conducted the action for false impri : oonment two years ago and was the solicitor who attended for billiard at the Wanhip•street Police-court, and also at the Thames Police-court. The woman had been cohabiting with a MU whom the coned Mare and whom she es kd u Ler cued L. It vie therefore raeccaudy that fir. May, the solicitor, about whom the public ought to suspend their judgment, should appear before his case was decided. W. Beard and Mr. Young said the case had now assumed • new plum, and that it was indispensable Mr. May, the solicitor, should be called as • witness. The further hearing was then postponed until Saturday afternoon, and a summons for Mr. May's attendance was Limed.

The first series of wool ages Of the year, whs. commenced on the 27th ult., eked on the 20th hist. The catalo comprised the fol lowing r—Bydpay 6,266 bales Port Philip and Portland Bay, 10,456 ; tan Diemen's Land, 1,349; South Australian, 8,178 ; New Zealand, 622 ; Swan River, 16 ; Cape of Goad Ham 23,134; a total of 1500 bales colonial-10, 00 0 keles in exoessinttre fresh arrivals—one-half being wools held over by importers, and the remaining 5,000 bales ascend head. The Australian wools, with the exoeption of 4,706 balsa Port Phillip and 7,143 bales Adelaide formed the nada@ of the 1860 clip. Notwithstanding the late almost universal unfavourable reports of the state of the woollen trade in France and England (Bradford district excepted), the demand has been quite equal to the clearance of all the wools brought forward, at fully former rates, good shifty monad fleece wool ruling even higher. There has been the usual good attend ance of foreign buyers, who have taken a moderato quantity both of combing and clothing deaniptions; but, on the pre sent occasion, the Bradford houses have evinced by far the moat spirit, and to their operations the advance paid ou comb ing wool, Id. to lid. per . lb., is mainly attributable. The small quantity of thee descriptions, from the non-arrival of many overdue vessels from Port Phillip, hes doubtless contributed to the augmentation of price ' and without a wend im provement in the woollen trade before the May sales, when it is expected the supply will be very large, importers can hardly calculate upon a continuance of the present rates. On the other hand, although the woollen trade has suffered seriously for the last 12 months from the American civil st s sign;firmat miltter of our wool aro colonies and importers that th e clip of taw nie no pro more than equal . to a year's consumption. The Port Phillip:freah clip, so far as arrived, has been in excellent condition, chiefly washed on sheep's back. Adelaide wools continue, for the most part, to be sent over in the grease, and have found much favour with our continental customers. Taking the quality and better condition of the wool into consideration, the pries. realised may be con sidered on a par with those of last March and May. It is much to be regretted that many wools of this colony are intermixed with locks and pieces ; this tends much to de preciate the value, espsmally of combing descriptions. Of the Capes, 4,500 bales were from the Western pro vinces, of good quality and full growth. They were in de- mend, and found a ready ale at about Id. below the ruling rales of this time last year. The remainder comprised short placed fleece, greasvand soonred wools from Alps Bay. No thing was sold below the last sale prices, and a fair popor tie°, more especially the better descriptiona tth rmliwd an aa. verse of ld. to lid. ; those in the grease, .to ld. per lb. A considerable quantity of the oa Bay, scoured and in the grease, were taken far Beleum sod Germany. Lambs' wool offered an exceedingly indifferent smart meet, very few of the new clip having arrived. Many buyers did not take a bale, preferring, rather than pay the extreme rates realised for the very few of really good quality, to await the next sales, which, in all probality, will commence on theist of May, with a large lied good selection, 19,000 bales of Port Phillip wool being already here, and other vessels daily expected. It is some timo since so large a quantity of °deem wool has been offered in this market ; the whole, however, found takers at much about last sale's rates. As unremunerating as the prices have been to the importers, it is very question able, had there been a larger supply of Port Phillip descrip tions, whether the result would have been as favourable. Prices at Odessa appear to have ruled of late too high for this market. in proportion with colonial wool.—(From the Circular of Masan. Richard Dutton and Soo.) in in three weeks ago. Since that time orders have undoubtedly come in more freely on account of both the home ►rid foreign trade ; but without exception they are small, and are exe cuted as rapidly as they are put in hand. In the pritemsd staple branches there has not been much change of late, but the edge-tool maken are busy upon orders recently motives', and the tube-makers and gun-makers continue to be fully employed. The hollow-ware trade is another exception to the i&ckness experienced in so many other branches ; all who are engaged in it have an average supply of orders both for the home and foreign markets. The reports Iron, the adjoining district are somewhat discouraging : not the slightest vitality exists in any department, and in all the principal trades there u more or loss of inactivity. At Walsall the staple tildes continue dull, the orders up to this time on account of the spring trade having been ex ceedingly moderate. In the chain and cable and ciuting trades there is comparatively little doing ; and all over the district there is a good deal of unemployed labour. The ironmastars of South Staffordshire will hold their usual me liminary meeting on Thursday next. CORN.-Csimunoi, MARCH 22.-Wheat WllBl9. Cht..kl, barley Is. dearer with a very dull market.
