ZONEY MARKET AND CITY .NETV,S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Money Market has remained in a very qiiescent state, tho liquidati , ni 01116 iJ day, to-morrow being the 4th, having failed to stimulate the inquiry, or to influence quotations. T he commercial accounts now in course of settle loont are limited, owing to the recent contraction of trade. About £B,OOO in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. Fo reign important alteration took place in the °r eign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ; the rates o x Antwerp and Vienna were rather lower. The Mexican dollars by the Seine have been sold at 88 id• per oz. The Indus, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, ‘ 2 :e-, will take out £94,488 chiefly in silver. .„ T he Tyne has arrived from the Brazils with 45 ,875 iu specie. 31 At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs.

T he Master of the Rolls has determined to make 4 call of 15 s . per s h are on a ll t h e contr ib u t or i es o f the Electric Telegraph Company in Ireland, now . Winding up in Chancery. The annual meeting of the Royal Insurance Com pany took place yesterday, when a very satis factory report was read. showing that the fire ne partment had made a further large advance, the revenue from premiums amounting last year to ,2 62,97 7- This is an increase over the preeed ug year o f £34,663, a nd' over the year 1858, of £66 ,829 being an advance of 34 per cent. in tWO years. It appears from the Parliamen tary returns that the increase of duty paid by the Royal was more than double that of any ether co mpany. The profits last year on the fire and general branches amounted to £41,067, from which a ,dividend and bonus of 7s. per share has been de tared. In the life department the premiums have been £15,079, an increase of £1,993 ever the new premiums of the preceding rear. Since the close of last year also a remarkable momentum seems to have been given to this branch, for in the first six months of the pre sent year the report declares the new premiums to have increased over those of the corresponding Period in the year 1860, by no less than 50 per Cent. This great advance is considered to have a risen mainly from the disclosure in the last (Which was the bonus) year of the entire of the affairs of the company, illustrating by coloured diagrams showing the mortality experienced by t his office in comparison with the various known st andards. Frankness of this kind is sure to win that popularity which this company appears de servedly to enjoy. The transactions in the market for Public Secu rities to-day have been very much restricted, but Previou s quotations have been well maintained, C onsols being 90k k for money and the 7th instant, a nd about 904 , for the September account.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY` EVENING, AU G UST 3, 1861. THE MURDER IN HOLBORN. CORONER'S INQUEST-(THIS DAY). The inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. C):';3% to:' 1 : thiB arJrning at the Archer pubiie-huue, :',:rVlUii-611CL.:i, very nearly uppohiite, the pre mises in which the murder was committed. The appearance of the body, on being viewed by the jury, was sickening to a degree. It seemed as if the man had placed his left hand on her head and made a terrible wound on the throat, cutting from left to right. The body is in a sitting position as far as it is possible to be, as it appears the woman sank down instantly she received the blow into a large basket, such as that used by hawkers of poultry, viz., of an oblong form with a cross handle, and there ex pired. As the basket was standing in front of one of the windows of the room which had the old fashioned seats to them, the body of the woman is nearly upright, and the head is lying back on the seat, exposing the whole trans verse section of the neck. The evidence adduced agreed in every particular with the account published yesterday in The Sun, the surgeon, who had examined the holy of the unfortunate woman, stating that death must have been nearly instantaneous. The Coroner thought it absolutely necessary that the man Cogan should be present during the investigation, and as the injuries he had inflicted on himself were of so serious a nature that that could not be the case for some time, he thought the best course to adopt was to adjourn the inquiry without naming any particular day on which it was to be resumed. He would take care the jury should have timely notice as to when they would be required to attend. The jury assented to this arrangement, and further proceedings were stopped for the present. Cogan, the husband of the unfortunate woman, who, standing charged with the murder, is in a very precarious state in King's College Hospital, the surgeons entertaining little hope that he will survive the injuries he has inflicted upon himself. Superintendent Durkin and Inspector Mackenzie have the case in hand. Cogan and his wife, it appears, were both addicted to the use of ardent spirits, and but a few months ago she was charged before the magistrates at Bow-street with stabbing her husband, but Cogan refused to appear against her, and she was discharged. LA TV INTELLIGENCE—( This Day). COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before tho Lords Justices of Appeal.) LIFE ASSOCATION OF SCOTLAND V. SIDDAL-COOPER V. GREEN---NELSON V. SEAMAN. This was a petition by the creditors of the mother and daughter, tenants in tail of a fourth share of the property under the will of Benjamin and Francis Norton, to obtain a portion of the fund paid to their separate use. It was opposed by the devises on several grounds, and in particular that the deed of assignment executed by the mother was without the consent of her husband and not acknowledge by him;and that the daughter had no interest under the order of court. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both sides, Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner could not give any effect whatever t 9 either of the deeds executed by the mother or daughter; the one being exe cuted by the mother without consent of her husband could not convey anything, and the other by the daughter on property over which she had no control. Their lordships dismissed the petition without costs on condition that the petitioners, by Monday, gave up all claim against the daughter, and, if not, dismiss the petition with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.) REEVE V. WRITMORE.-MOTION FOR JUDGMENT. This was a motion which resolved itself in effect into a motion to rescind an order of Court, under contract of sale by Mr. Reeve, receiver appointed by this Court, and the Messrs. Lucas, the eminent builders, to take possession of the chattels and machinery of the Craven Brickfield in the county of Kent, and about two million and a quarter of bricks, except 39,000 stock, sold to there in June last for £2,641. The landlord claimed possession under a warrant of ejectment for non-payment of rent by the former tenants. His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor refused the motion with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE , —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BRUTAL FELLOW.—Win. Smith, employed at Meux's brewery, was charged as follows : .. , John Purden, 5, Hanway-place, Oxfori-street, said that on the previous night, about 10, he heard screams of " Murder I" from the room above, and he heard the pri soner insulting some one in the street from the window. He (witness) stepped out to see what was the matter, when he heard some one say, " What are you trying to kill your wife for ?" The prisoner replied, " What does it matter to you whether I kill my wife or any one else ?" Shortly after the prisoner came round with his shirt sleeves tucked up, and knocked him against a potato bin while he was speaking to a friend, the effect of the blow causitfg him great pain in his stomach all night, and the blow was given in the presenee of a constable. Prisoner (taking off his coat, and his shirt falling about him) said he was himself assaulted. The witness said there was no more violence used towards the prisoner than was necessary by the police. The prisoner's wife, with tears in her eyes, said the pri • Boner tried to throw a knife at her, with a threat, and it was then she screamed " murder," and ran down stairs and hid herself in a coal cellar.

MUTILATING LISTS OF VOTERS.—Two mischievous boys named William Spilling, aged 13, of 54, Grafton street, Stepney, and Henry John Morris, 12, were brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with defacing and tearing the lists of county and borough voters affixed to the door of Sion Chapel, Mile-end Old Town. Mr. William Reid, the beadle of Mile-end Old Town, said the register of county and borough voters nailed to the door of Sion Chapel, and forming a somewhat bulky volume, was destroyed on Thursday afternoon. He obtained another copy of the register and affixed it to the door of the chapel, and soon afterwards he saw the (prisoner Spilling or Shil ling pull one sheet out of the county lists. He had a good deal of trouble with Sion Chapel, and ha had seen many stupid boys pulling at the lists. The prisoner, who is an educated boy, said ho was a clerk to a ship broker, and had acted in ignorance, and was very sorry for what he had done. Mr. Reid put in a printed notice headed " Caution, Lists of Voters," and warning all persons not to deface or tear the lists under a penalty of 40s. The prisoner actually read the notice before he tore a sheet out of the County voters' list. There were 5,000 voters for the Tower Hamlets, and 500 voters for the county in the Hamlet of Mile-End Old Town. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was educated and ought to have known better. The boy must be ignorant, indeed, not to know the lists were affixed to the Church and Chapel doors for the information of thousands of voters, who had no other means of knowing whether their names were re gistered or not. The prisoner was liable to a penalty of 408 , which he mitigated to 2s. on l y. Aoone.is, H a o wasseen was lice charged with a similar offence. reg i s ter of voters twice. The boy's master here said—My l a d saw th e s h ee t s blowing about, and tore a l ittle bit out of one of them, and butcher's boy,by a gave it to another boy to read for him. Mr. Woolrych— That is not the way to obtain political in formation. If your boy does this again I will fine him 40s. Take him away with you. THE LATE MURDRR OF A CONSTABLE IN THE KING'S COUNTY.—A man named William Conroy, alias Conrahy, upon whom suspicion had fallen of having been concerned in the murder of Constable Lawler, of the Blue Ball station, who, it will be recollected, was f oun d mur d ere d in a field from a gunshot wound in the chest withi n a f ew miles of Tullamore, has surrendered himself to the resident magistrate of the district.

THE CASE OF THE BARON DE BODE.—Yesterday the select committee o: the House of Commons, appointed on the motion of the Hon. George De nman to inquire into the long-pending claims of the Baron de Bode, brought their labours to a close for the session. It was expected that they would have made their report as to the validity of his claim, but after considerable discussion it was deter mined not to offer any opinion as to the merits of the case, but merely to report the evidence, and ask leave to be re appointed in the next session to renew the inquiry. Tun CHINA WAR.---A return procured by Gen.

CITI COMMISSION OF SEWERS. At the usual wrekly meeting of the City Com missioners of Sewers, held on Tuesday at Guildhall, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported on the state of 205 houses that bad been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 60 places for sanitary improvement. He likewise submitted a list of places requiring fur ther proceedings on account of orders already issued but not yet complied with. He also reported that the officers of the market had seized, 1,3491 b. of meat as unfit for human food-1,1411b. were dis eased, and 2081 b. we r e put r id. All o f it was seized in Newgate-market, and the salesmen to whom the meat was consigned gave every assistance to the officers, by informing them of the arrival of the meat at the market, and by giving up the names of the senders. All the meat was sent to the boilers to be destroyed as food. The mortality returns are still a little above the average for the season. Last week the number of deaths was 57, the number for the corresponding week of the last five years being 45. 25 of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 13 among old persons of 60 and upwards. The chief increase in the propor tion of deaths has been caused by diarrheea. The number Qf deaths from this cause is 10, and there were also two deaths from summer cholera, and one from choleraic diarrhea. Nine of the deaths were among children, and four among adults. Much of the diarrhea which prevails at this season of the year is caused by the use of unripe and decayed fruit. There were 72 births in the city during the week-- . -namely, the births of 42 boys and 30 girls. Dr. Abraham pointed the attention of the Court to the alarming account given by Dr. Letheby, in his recent quarterly report, of the impurity of the water from the pumps i n the city. He said at a time of year when cold water was in so much request, it was the duty of the Court to caution the public that in drinking water from the city pumps they were drinking poison. He suggested that the pump handles should be chained, believing that the parish authorities had the power to do that. At his instance it was resolved to in. struct the clerk to the commission to send a copy of the medical officer's last quarterly report to the different authorities of parishes in the city in which „Dr. Letheby had tested the water, and calling atten tion to the passage respecting the city pumps. ALARMING FIRES'. • A fire broke out yesterday in the premises belong. ing to Messrs. Collins and Abrahams, batmakers, 35, Lambeth-walk. A police-constable of the L division, in passing along his beat, discovered smoke pouring out of the lower part of the house. He succeeded in arousing the inmates, who happily escaped. The en gines of Messrs. Hodges, the distillers, of the parish, and several of the Londonßrirr ° ade were soon in attend ance, and were set to work from the Lambeth and Southwark Companies' mains. While the firemen were actively engaged a fearful explosion took place, which blew the front of the house out. One of Hodges' firemen fell through the flooring, but was rescued by one of the Royal Society's escape conductors. The building was entirely consumed before the fire could be extinguished. Another fire happened at No. 71, St. John's-street, Clerken well, the property of Messrs. Guppy and Clarke, grocers. The inmates were fortunately saved by means of a ladder by the police, before Bunsigh, the conductor of the escape, had time to arrive. The engines of the parish and lour of the London bri gade having arrived, the firemen, under Messrs. Fogo, the superintendent of the B district, and en gineers Swanton and Perryer, went to work, but they were unable to get the fire out until the stock in trade was destroyed. A third fire happened on board a vessel lying at Shadwell, which consumed the cargo. The losses will fall upon the Phoenix, Scottish Union, and other offices. Last night a fourth fire also broke out in the premises numbered 7, in Commercial-place, Kentish-town, near the Assembly-rooms and Police-station. It originated in the back room second-floor, and rapidly extended to other rooms in the buildings,—a very extensive one. The engines of the parish and four of the London Brigade were quickly on the spot, and a good supply of water was obtained; but the fire could not be extinguished until the 'premises were nearly destroyed. The origin of the fire is un known. Fortunately, the sufferer was insured in the Sun Fire.office. A strong body of police rendered essential aid to the firemen by keeping an immense crowd of spectators out of danger. The second fire in Tooley-street continued to burn during the whole of Thursday night and through out yesterday. Even as late as 8 o'clock last night there remained a great body of flame under the ruins, and it seems questionable whether the fire will be completely extinguished for some days to come. The powerful steam floating engine of the brigade, under the direction of, Mr. Gerrard, the superintendent of the steam apparatus, has been kept at work, and about 8 tons weight of water have been scattered hourly over the flames. The fire last night was raking fast in every direc tion on the wharf. Under the direction of Mr. En gineer Tozer and Mr. Wade, however, a wall was run up, composed of bricks and clay, whereby some thousands of pounds' worth of property have been saved, including resin, turpentine, and other equally inflammable articles stored in Mark Brown's Wharf and other warehouses. THE DANBURY MURDER.—Mr. T. M. Gepp, under-sheriff for Essex, has received a letter f, oni the Home office in reference to the woman convicted of the murder if a little boy at Danbury, near Chelmsford, whose execu tion had been originally appointed to take place on Thurs day, commuting the prisoner's sentence to penal servitude for life, THE LATE LORD CAMPBELL. The will of the Right Hon. Baron Campbell, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, of St. Andrew's, Fifeshire ; Hartrigge-house, near Jed burgh ; and of Stratheden-house, Knightsbridge, at which latter residence he died on the 23d June last, aged 79, was proved in her Majesty's Court of Probate on the 25th ult,, the executors nominated being his three sons, the Right Hon. William Fre derick, Baron Stratheden and Campbell; the Hon. Hallyburton G. Campbell, and the Hon. Dudley Campbell, and his daughter, the Hon. Mary Scar lett Campbell. , The personalty wee sworn under £120,000. Lord Campbell, on the decease of his wife, Baroness Stratheden, made his will, bearing date the 29th of March, 1860 ; but in 1857 he made a codicil, having reference solely to the disposition of his Irish es t ates, which he confirms in his will of 1860, t h e two documents being taken conjointly by the Court as Lord Campbell's last will. His lordship possessed very considerable landed and personal property in England, Scotland, and Ireland, which he has left among his large family of sons and daughters. To his eldest son, Baron Stratheden and Campbell, he devises his Irish estates, with the exception of a farm, which he bestows on his second 'son for life but-the bulk of his property, real and personal, de volves to his eldest son, whom he has also appointed residuary legatee. To his two sons, the Hon. Hai lyburton and Dudley Campbell, and to his two daughters, the Hon. Mary Scarlett' and Cecilia Campbell, he leaves legacies of £15,000 each; and to his two married daughters, the Hon. Louisa White and the Hon. Edina Blackburne, legacies of £5,000 each, beyond what his lordship had previouly bestowed upon these two latter ladies. He leaves to his daughter, the Hon. Mary Scarlett Campbell, who, he observes, was his faithful and valuable assistant in his literary labours, all the manuscripts and . other papers, which she is at liberty to publish for her sole benefit. Lord Campbell bestows on his eldest san the official robes which his lordship wore IN hen filling th e o ffi ces : o f Chi e f J us ti ce an d Lord High Claant:ellor, with the insignia of nobility and those eof his high official distinction.

At the Ipswich assizes, on Wednesday, a young woman of 27, named Girling, brought an action for breach of promise of marriage against a wheel. wright, named Allsop, of the mature ago of 70. The plaintiff had lived in defendant's service, at Sutton, and about two years ago had a child, though it was not suggested that the defendant was the fathei-. He shortly afterwards, in company with the plaintiff, paid a visit to 'its grave, taking with him flowers, a trowel, and a watering pot. The visit, however, did not lead to any ulterior results, and some time (about a year and a half) after the young lady " kept company" for a short period with a musician. In the meantime, how ever, it got noised abroad that the plaintiff had had a windfall ; that a certain Mr. Nicolls, also an old flame of the plaintiff's, had died, leaving her a " beautiful" brig, as she called it, and £3,810. This led to a revival of the defendant's attachment, and he immediately took the place of the musician in the young lady's affections. In November last the defendant purchased a license, and next day went, in company with the plaintiff, to the office of an attorney to draw up marriage settlements. Both were most liberal in their propositions, the intended husband desiring to have the fortune settled on her; she, on the other hand, wishing to give it all to him. But the practical attorney, doubting that so much generosity could have a solid foundation, put some questions to the young lady about the nature and locality of her fortune. She described her investments in the Three per Cents with great minuteness, and expatiated on the beauty of her brig, which she said she had just had " copper bottomed all over." But the defendant was not satisfied ; and, after waiting six months, the plaintiff put the matter into the hands of her attorney.—The defence was somewhat extraor dinary. After the incident of the grave, some thing slightly romantic might have been expected, even from a wheelwright of 70 i but he now stated, in the prosaic language of pleaders " for a equitable plea," that he made the promise of marriage " solely on the faith of a certain repre sentation that the plaintiff was possessed of a certain ship, &c., whereas, in truth and in fact, she was not possessed, &c."—The Jury were of the same opinion as the defendant, that the brig and the Three per Cents. were part of the bargain, and gave him a verdict accordingly. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE. A very extraordinary matter is at present occupying the attention of the police. On the 31st ultimo a gentleman named 111‘Kenzie, resident at Pimlico, received a letter re questing an interview to the writer, " Agnes Roney," at a house in Herbert-street, New North-road. Having a knowledge of this person from a previous introduction at Madrid, Mr. M'Kenzie duly attended the appointment, and met the young woman. While conversing with her two men named Emil Schelk and Carl Hemmel, whom he had also known at Madrid, suddenly entered the apartment, and without uttering a word seized him by the throat and wrists, Schelk then observing, " I have an account to settle with you, and will do it now, by murdering you." Mr. M'Kenzie, almost strangled by the united efforts of the men, was fast losing consciousness, when the woman Roney interfered, saying, " Don't," or "You shall not murder the man," and it would appear that this induced them to re lease him; on finding that he was thus enthralled he dashed at Schelk and succeeded in getting him on the ground; this, however, was scarcely accomplished when Hemmel made a furious attack upon him, got the best of the struggle, flung him heavily, knelt on his chest, and tightly grasped his throat. The now almost overpowered gentleman yet continued at intervals to call "Murder" and " Police," upon which Schelk said, " Stop his n@ise," " Choke him." A towel, or some such article, was partly thrust into his mouth ; then there was a call for a rope to hang him. This was brought in by the woman Roney, who in some way again used her influence, for the cord was tightened round his legs and arms instead of his throat, and having been thus secured, he was carried into an adjoining apartment. The threats to murder him if he made the slightest outcry, er did not comply with all that would be required of him, were frequently repeated —the men holding at the same time heavy bludge ons. There was then a brief consultation; some papers were brought and placed on a bed, which Mr. M'Kenzie was required to sign, and under fear of his life did so— his right hand being relieved for that purpose, while the other was secured to his leg; after which all three decamped, taking the documents, whatever they were, with them. This outrage was stated to have lasted from shortly after 1 o'clock midday until 20 minutes past 5, when by the assistance of a girl who entered the room Mr. M'Kenzie was enabled to escape. Information of what had occurred was subsequently communicated to the police, and it has been ascertained by Edes, a warrant officer of the N division, that the three persons named had not since been seen in theneighbourhood, that the woman lodged in the house, and on the arrival of Mr. M'Kenzie sent for the men, who came in a cab shortly afterwards; also that she procured a rope from the yard attached to the premises, but not any outcry was heard. It is understood that Mr. Humphreys has procured a warrant for the parties mentioned, who are Germans. MIS DAY'S SI:LIPPING.

MELANCHOLY CASE OF POISONING IN SCOTLAND' —On Wednesday morning Mr. Vaughan, a highly-re spected private gentleman, residing at Dollar f or the educa tion of his family, died in his own house un der very pain• mai circumstances. TueAlay was the usual examination day of the classes of Dollar institution, and Mr. Vaughan was present in the various class - ro oms of the i nstitution during the day, and afterwards partook of luncheon with the trustees and their friends. Mr. Vaughan, who was a native of England, had sp ent some years in Australia, where he acquired a competence, and he always retained in hi s res id ence his own pri vate medicine chest, b; feeling himself unwell, rose from w-" made use of when abroad. Early on Wednesday i n • truing' Mr. eVedaeudght:t; take from his medicine-chest an emetic, which, which he I:ll an d ci however, proved to be some potent poisonous substance. proceeded The fatal mistake was not discovered until the draught was partaken of. The household were immediately apprised of the circumstance, and medical assistance was forthwit obtained, but in a few minutes M breathe,—Edinburgh Courant, to r , Vaughan had sassed A BALLOON ASCENT' BY IVI9.HT. ----~= The following adventures were experienced a few days since during a balloon ascent by night : The ascent was made in the Royal Normandie,' constructed for Mr. Simpson, of Crernorne Gardens, at a cost of £6OO, the conductor of the expedition being Mr. Lythgoe, the experienced aeronaut of 94 previous journeys. The day chosen for the ascent was that of the recent aristocratic fete at Cremorne of the 24th tlt., and two seats had been secured by Mr. Arthur Vivian and Mr. Noel Anderson. At eleven o'clock - at night the balloon was released, and shot into the air. " So strong was the wind blowing at the time that, instead of, as is usual, ascending gradually, they were hurried in a lateral direction, threatening to carry away the minarets of the artificial Eastern city erected in the gardens. Although the passage over the metropolis in a north-easterly dit ectiun was so rapid that in eight minutes, they had left the subu r bs far behind, yet they had time to be •truck with the extraordinary appearance of the vast town by night, when, by the lines of lights, every street and square was clearly traceable and every well-known locality identified. They now discharged ballast, and, quickly ascending, passed through the lower strata of the clouds, the earth utterly shut out, and themselves surrounded alone by masses of black vapour. The dense darkness and grave-like stillness, broken only by an occasional earth sound, such as the distant lowing of cattle or the faintly-heard bark of a dog, indicating perhaps some village being passed over, impressed the voy agers with thd most solemn sensations. Many miles being thus traversed, it was deemed expedient by Mr. Lythgoe to penetrate the clouds beneath, in order to ascertain the nature of the surface, of the' country, with the view of effecting a land ing. On emerging from the clouds, a fiat country could be dimly discerned, and preparation s were instantly made to let go the grappling• iron on the first favourable opportunity. This soon occurred, and it was not till then—when as they approached the earth field after field, as it were, flew from under them—that they realised the fearful 'velocity at which they were travelling. The grappling iron was dropped, an instantaneous check was felt, proving that a firm hold had been taken ; in another instant a sharp snap was heard, and the balloon, swaying to and fro, burst again into the air. "Now was put to the test the experience and presence of mind of Mr. Lythgoe, who, deprived of the usual means of effecting a landing, had, it ap pears, but one course open to him, viz., bursting the balloon against trees or some other opposing -object, thereby exhausting her powers. Seeing a bank of trees at some distance, he made up his mind, if pos sible, to run into them, and, to effect this purposo, descended on to the land. The wind was blowing with frightful force, and the car dashed against the earth with such a shock that Mr. Vivian was nearly stunned, and Mr. Anderson, not having time to secure himself sufficiently, was thrown partly out of the car as it turned over; his head and shoulders being thus pushed along the ground. In struggling he pitched with a somersault from the car, and, on, recovering, found himself, at 12 o'clock at night, in the centre of a field of beans, the balloon long ago vanished. After some difficulty he made his way to a l village two ar three miles distant, which, o,n in quiry, was discovered to be High Roding, in the north of Essex. He was sheltered in the cottage of a labourer, who said he had heard shortly before, as he was r e turning home shouts issuing from the clouds, which he not unnaturally concluded to be , unearthly; immediately %After which lie became sensible of a gigantic body rushing past his ear. The cause of his fears was soon interpreted by the traveller. " The balloon, relieved of 2501b5. in weight —much ballast having been lost at the time of the first concussion with the earth—shot up like a rocket to the supposed incredible height of three miles and a quarter. Mr. Lythgoe allowed as much gas to escape as was deemed at all consistent with safety in descending, but still it was some time before the balloon began again to take a. level course through the air. The cold at this height, where the temperature is stated to have been below 40 degrees, was intense. The deep silence was relieved only by the flapping of the silk, which w,as like the reports of firearms. At last, as indi cated by pieces of paper thrown out, they com menced gradually to. descend, 'when before long a. dull grumbling sound was heard which resembled the moaning of the ocean. This sound died away, but recommenced very shortly; and a break in the clouds below opened to their view the sea imme diately beneath them ; but watching the line of breakers on the shore, they, to their infinite relief, discovered that the course of the balloon was bear ing gradually inland. It was determined now, immediately on coming over the land, to let out the gas as quickly as possible, and effect a landing at all hazards. The shock was terrific; and the wind blowing very heavily at the time the balloon mach: the most tremendous bounds, dragging the two in mates of the car banging OR by the ropes over more than two miles of country, carrying them through dykes and many other obstacles. When sufficient gas had escaped from the balloon. to prevent her from rising again, at an agreed signal they both let go at once, and, after a series of somersaults, found themselves on their backs on some marshy land, the balloon being brought up a few hundred yards' dis tance against a mill, from which it however very quickly escaped, and was no more seen. " After some difficulty in crossing the country the travellers arrived at a labourer's cottage-door, and, on being admitted, discovered that they were close to Lowestoft, on the coast of Suffolk, the hour being two o'clock in the morning. " High praise is due to Mr. Lythgoe, the aeronaut, who displayed great skill throughout, and main tained the most perfect coolness and presence of mind. , 4 , The balloon has since been found."
