The Marco Pt 00, which gained well-deserved celebrity
for her quick p shssage to Australia, seems to have lost
much of it by 6er late voyage to Melbourne, having

winds will no dt nrbt account for it.

BALLOON ASCEN! r.—Mr. Coxwell, the intrepid a ere
naut, made a most successful ascent at the Sare Zoo-
-
logical Gardens on Monday last, in the presence of a
very large assembly of delighted spectators,and, after a
very rapid journey, , descended at some place in Hamp-
shire, the name of i 7hich we are not familiar with. Mr.
Coxwell, who was accompanied in his aerial flight by a
foreign gentleman, contemplated using on this occasion
the system of telegraph signals invented by himself, and
satisfactorily demon strated in several previous instances;
but the boisterous S' tate of the weather frustrated his in-
tentions in that resj wet. We understand Mr. Coxwell
repeats his voyage this day, and, weather permitting,
will put his system , of signals for war purposes into prac-
tical operation.
FRANCONI'S CIRC 're in the Champs Elysees has just
lost a most amush rg performer. Kemp, one of the
English clowns, hal I just expired after an illness of only
two days. He had appeared in the circus, as usual; two
nights before his
lecease, and was just as humorous,
original, and active as ever. His performance of the
conscript in the fair ourite piece of l'Ours et la Sentinelle
was an admirable conception, which he played, we
believe, upwards of . 200 times, with great humour. Many
a hearty laugh hav4 )we heard him call forth by his most
amusing impersonal .ion of the young soldier. Kemp was
only in his 31st yva ,r.—Galignani.
