YR. °LIMBER'S SCIENTIFIC BALLOON

ASCENTS.

The first of the second series of four high
moats in Mr. Corwin's large halloos, for which the
Bella Aasociation voted 200/. at the Cambridge meeting,
teak place yesterday afternoon from the grounds of the
Crystal Palace. The went has been in contemplation for
wad days, and on Saturday the balloon was partially in-
land, but the wind was too high, and in a wrong dire:-
lea, and it bad to be postponed from day to day. Mr.
Masher took palmation of his half of the ear at four
le's:dock, with Mr. Colwell for his sole vis-d-zit. His in-
struments were arranged on a bench before bum from
which they bristled up in such a close array as nearly to
kids him from sight. With two exceptions they were
ecortructed for these expeditions by Messrs. Hoped and
Sambre, the Instrument makers to Greenwich Observatory.
The following list of them will show how carefully the ;ob-
i nervation have been planned, and how much more com-
plete the second series of ascents will be in this particular
than the first:—L Owed box, with twelve tee* far deter-

meter, and after waiting for a favourable moment,
at 4.17 the balloon started, and sailed easily off right in the
eye of the declining sun. The wind was fresh and sharp
from the eat. The balloon paid elan to the North
Water Tower, and for a few minutes obeyed the direction
impressed upon it at starting, but it soon entered souther
current, which Mopped Its coward course and brought it
back toward. the starting point. The course was then
slowly upward, with little horizontal motioo. A stiller
ascent, and therefore a hoer one for the purpose, could
hardly be imagined.
At the height of about two miles the balloon stood over
Clapham. At this elevation, however, it encountered a
south-west current, which changed its course, and wafted it
over the south-eastern part of Loudon to Deptford and the
Isle of Dogs, where it rose to an elevation of four miles
and a half. The thermometer then mood at zero, a higher
tempessture than was expected at this season. Mr. Glashiar
and Mr. Colwell, counting their pulses, found them to make
respectively 97 and 98 beats a minute. The aeronauts de-
selected at half-past 6 on a field belonging to Mr. G. Brown,
Garda= Hall, Barking Side, Essex, pleased with the sue-
! sem of their excursion. Mr. Glashier expressed the highest
saidection with the manner in which the balloon was
I misused by Mr. Ooxwell, so as to enable him to make his
observations with core and safety.

VIENNA, Ann, 4.

The modification now proposed in the identical
note of the Western Powers to St. Petersburg in
behalf of Poland is said to be of a tenor by
which Austria might be indnoed to act as an
aggressive power against Russia, and that Austria,
therefore, courteously declined to agree to the
adoption of such modification.
In well-informed political circles here, there is
a report current that K Drouyn de Lhuys would
tender his resignation should the Emperor Na-
poleon make his warlike intentions a fait accompli.

THE ROWEL 70R032183.

It has transpired that three fresh actioni., having
reference to the Round( property, would have been sent
down for trial at the present Home Circnit, but on account
of the defendants not being prepared with the whole of the
evidence they intend to bring forward, they have been post-
poned to the ensuing summer assizes. One of these actions
relates to an estate in the county of Brea, which is said to
be of the value of 30,000 i., and the two others relate to the
Reupel-park property at Brixton in which it is said that
a sum of over 100,001. is involved. It will be recollected
that at the former trial, when Mr. W. Roupell
came forward to acknowledge that he bad forged Ina
father's will, and also the deed of gift baying reference
to the estate at Kingston, which was than the sub-
of litigation, the action was not tried out, but the de•
feridant consented to certain terms. In the cams that are
now to be brought forward, however, it is understood that
the defendants are determined to take the opinion of a jell,
and the case they intend to set up is that the deed and the
will were really genuine inatruments, and that the object of
Mr. W. Reopen in coming forward to confess himself a
forger was to obtain the restitution of the to his
family. It appears that it was fully that the causes
should have come on for trial at the present mein's, but
a short time back an application was made to one of the
learned judges, on behalf of the defendants, for an
order upon the plaintiff to produce certain dom.
meet& that were considered essential to their
OWN and as this order could not be complied with in
time, it wee found necemary that the trials should be post-
poned, with the consent of all parties. The form of the
actions is precisely the same se the one already disposed of,
and Mr. W. Roupell will again, of course, be the principal
witness in support of the claims of the heir-atlsw, his tiro-
ther Richard, but on the part of the defendants a maas of
evidence will be adduced with a view to show that the in-
struments alleged by Mr. W. Ronpell to be forgeries are
in truth genuine documents. and it is understood
that with regard to the deed of gift a witness will
be brought forward who will swear that he saw the deemed
actually sign it. If, in the result, the jury should be of
opinion that the case for the defendants has been esta-
blished, it will, of comae, amount to the expression of their
opinion that Mr. W. Roupell is innocent of the crime of
which he confessed himself guilty.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—IdoNDAy.

The attendance this afternoon was hardly tip to the
avenge on the eve of a peat meeting like Ascot, and specu-
lation was anything but brisk. Those who did not manage
to pull off a " good thing " on any of the recent great events
seemed to have scarcely recovered from the collapse into
which they were left by their disappointments, and conse-
quently the venison of the layers of odds became a difficult
one, as only longish prices would tempt a large moiety of
intending backers. A considerable portion of the afternoon
was devoted to settling on the Grand Prize of Paris
after which attention was turned to the Ascot Meeting.
For the Stakes Oldminster, after having been warmly sup-
ported et 6 to 1, advanced to 5 to 1, at which price the
money wee " lumped on," and at the close not more than
4 to 1 could have been obtained about him. Rubicon
would have been backed at 8 to 1, but bearing in mind
the amount of good money already on the hone,
layers did not feel inclined to take liberties
with him. Brother to Rapid Rhone and Bandage
each found friends at 8 to 1, but Captain Crow,
lunar several investments had been made upon him at
prices varying from 6 to 8 to 1, left off finally at 10 to 1
offered without a response, while at the same time there
were offers to take 7to 1 with a start. 10 to I was booked
about Canary, and the like odds freely offered about Knuts-
ford. For the Ascot Cup Tim Whittier was in force, sto
4 being taken freely. 8 to I was accepted about Buck-
stone, but The Marquis was very " Baby," offers
of 10 to 1 failing to bring any one to the
rescue. The success of the Ranger in the Grand
Prize of Paris yesterday installed him first favourite
for the St. Leger, for which he was supported at 6 to 1, vice
Lord Clifden, promoted (the wrong way) to 8 to 1 (taken),
Queen Bertha also meeting with support at the latter price.
1,000 to 60 was booked three times about &ocher°.
meter, but later 18 to 1 wu laid two or three times.
For the Derby Blair Athol was again inquired after, but
except 1,000 to 55 taken once about him nothing else came
under our notice, hackers standing out for 20 to 1, at which
I price Mr. l'Anson's crack would have found many friends.
Mr. Merry's Scottish Chief was in remarkably good odour,
20 to 1 being taken freely about him. Claremont, in John
Scott's stable, of whom there are very glowing accounts,
was supported at 40 to 1, taken. Closing prices :

THAMES.

William Mahoney, angiarlabourer, was brought before
Mr. Woolrycb, charged with committing a violent rumalt
on Alice Bowden, a respectable young woman, dwelling at
No. 6, Chapel-street, St. George-in-the-Fast.
The complainant, with an air of great simplicity, said she
bad been to a place of amusement with her young man on
Saturday night, and after leaving him she wee making the
best of her way home when she was met by the pH.
Doom in Anthony-street, and he made many improper
overtures to her, and offered her a shilling to accompany
him to a house. She informed him that he was
quite mistaken, and that she was not the person
he snppoeed, on which he struck her to the head. 'Vilma
she recovered herself she attempted to run away from him,
and he struck her again on the face and gave her two black
eyes. She went on to state that the prisoner seized her by
the cloak, and tore it and also her dress. She was very
nearly naked on the ground, and the body of her dress was
comply torn off.

M. WOolrych —What is the amount of the damage done
to Tour olothee? _ _

--eninplainrist.Ll will only say 10s., sir ; it is much more
than that, but I don't like to be too hard upon him.
Charles Busson, 696 K, said be met the prisoner running
on Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, and at the same moment
heard cries of " Stop him !" lie did stop the prisoner,
and said to him, "What are you running for ?" The
prisoner answered, " All right, governor." He said, "It's
not all right ; you must come along with 1110." The prisoner
resisted him, and they had • grmt tussle.
Mr. Woolrych investigated the case for a considerable
time, and it appearing that the young woman woe a dress
and mantle maker, and very well behaved, and that the
prisoner's defence was entirely devoid of truth, the magi'.
trate said the prisoner had committed a cowardly and brutal
assault. He sentenced him to three months' imprisonment
and hard labour, and to pay 20e. for the damage to the

rity, under the 12th section of the act passed last session
for the better management of highways in England, nor any
contract, agreement. or appointment of any officer in purse-
mice thereof, should be chargeable with any stamp duty

that one girl had been burned to 'death while undergoing a

the sentence of the Supreme Court must be made known.
