THB irnuo!tprNAlr ROBBERY IN

LIYSBPOOL.

Last Thursday we announced a daring robbery
which took place on the previous day in the offices of the
Loan and Investment Company, in Duke-street, Liverpool
It will be remembered that during the absence of the mana-
ger from the office, a " stranger" entered the placii, and
lifter ascertaining that the manager was out, struck a clerk
named Lewes (who had bees left in charge) a violent blow
on the bead, which rendered him insensible. .The
"stranger' then broke open the cash drawer and stub 21M.
is gold. The police were at once 000mmunioated withi
but they could not discover the perpetrator of the rob-
bery. Owing, however, to seine information whiolryeaclied
the ear of Mr. Hughes, the manager of the office, he cooler-
red with Mr. Kehoe, the supenutendent of the detectives,
the resell of which was that the young man Lewis, who
was attacked, was taken into custody. On being takes to the
pain station, he volunteered a statement to the following
effect;—Hs bed a cousin named Thomas Thomas, who
about four weeks ago came along with his mother from
Manchester, and took lodgings at Mr. Corrislies, 25.2, Dolby-
terrace, Crown-street. Them persons were very poor, and
had mimeos of subsistence. His cousin Thomas 0111111 to
him at the office about a week before the robbery, sad an ar-
rangement was agreed to between them to rob thecae'. They
both prepared a stick loaded bawdy at one mid with
lead. Armed with this Thomas was to come to the office
at a given time. Lewis procured some keys to fit the
drawer, which he opened on the day of the robbery, and
emptied the money from a bowl into a beg which he had got
for it. When his cousin came in he (Lewis) pre him the
bag with the money in it. This done, his comic km Wood
upon) struck him a his;:g blow with the loaded stink as
the head, which rende him for a time insensible. His
cousin, after doing this, went ; and he, on recovering his
senses, told the story about the "stranger" to Mr. Hughes.
Ann Janes, the mother of Thomas, was also apprebeoded, and
charged along with Lewis with receiving a portion of the
mousy from her son, knowing it to have been stolen. The
officers who took her into custody stated that, when they
apprehended her, sbe was asked how much mosey she had
about her' She answered that she bed from Dia. to 30s.
She then went towards a table, and was observed to wooed
a purse. The officers secured this perm, when it was found
to contain 51., which Jose' said she received from her son,
before he left the railway station.
Mr. Kelm asked for a remand, in order that Thomas
might be procured, if possible as he (Mr. Kehoe) believed
they bad a clue to his wheavolionta.

THE LAST SCIENTIFIC BALLOON ASCENT.
We give a more detailed account than was pub-
limbed yesterday. of Monday's assent from Wolverhampton.
Nearly every minute of the Nearly 3i hours daring which
Mr. °Lieber was in the air en Itoaday—namely, from L 2
to 4.25 p.m.—is asooneted fur by his manes in his book. As
on thefint occasion, so now, the popular belief that so great .
a height u miles cannot be attained without a tha
noise in the sass, a distending of the massies of thealsele.

was exploded by experience. h o such inconvenienom were
perceptible on either occasion. The faculty of hearing was
acute, as on the previous cricasimi, but by. sipping a little
broody before reaching the highest altitude, the throbting
of the heart, which was so observable ea the miemion
of the first moot, was warded off. Nevertheless,
the pulse of both Mr. Glaisher and also of Mr.
Coxwell rose to a great height, that of the former
as high as 108, and the latter from about 78 ma Irving
the earth to nearly 100. Before making the "dip
on Monday, and when upending through a temperature of
50 &Moe. the "17•Pla remarked that it was cold. At 37
it was very cold. and warm wrappers wen put on ; but ..
when, during the making of the " dip," they were again in
50 degrees temperature, they experienced so peat a return
of warmth that the wrappers were throws off. At less than
a mile high the temperature was 60 degrees. At this
height • bell WSJ heard as distinctly as if the auditors bad •
been on the earth. At three miles high a clap of thunder
was heard distiuctly. The former otaesvations relative to
the dryness of the atmosphere in the higher regions were
confirmed on Monday, bat at lower elevations the observa-
tions taken teed to favour previously conceived opine
ions. On the first incept no ice was noted
upon the wet and drryy buns of the therm-
torten, but on this aeeaios they were both covered with
a compact sake of ice, 140 owns was detected on the
former occasion, but on Monday there was on Dv. Moffatt's
papers as much. we think as nine points. The dew-point
on starting was 51. et 17 deereaas upon the lir at that
time. At about half-put two o'clock, when the height
was three miles and the temperature M degrees, the
dew point was 6 ; is five minutes afterwards it was 3, and
it afterwards varied from minus 5 to minas 10 at
the hi hest altitude, at half-put three o'clock. On
descending to the earth it gradually increaud to 50.
Whether at leaving the earth or at an altitude of four
miles, still the " cirri or " mare's tail" clouds were always
above them, and seemed as far out of reach at the highest
as at the lowest altitude. Throughout the entire three
and a half hours on Monday a msgoiiioent white and of
the elms first described followed the mi.o in all its
wanderings. As the voyagers descended the immense bal. •
loon became photographed in a most striking manner upon
one of the high roads near to Birmingham. There lay its
image In full length, surrounded by a magnificent
Gaffney to all previously entertained theca's, the mak

appearance that had been attributed to its surface. At all

so that if se aim had been desired to be taken at the hori-
zon with a rifle, the weapon might have been rested upon
the edge of the oar without elevating or depressing it.. The
descent was determined upon at about half-part 3, with
perfect success, the serothate having four bags of ballast
at their disposal
