at 300 yards there is no mistaking it, Reed takes
Seward's ground by running almost full in front of him,

exciting spin by coming in fourteen or fifteen yards a

fraction short of 53 seconds.

ASCENT OFIVIR.COXWELL'S WAR
BALLOON FROM BERLIN.
(FR.JI.II A CORRESPONDENT.)
On Tuesday-, the 19th, Mr. Coxwell ascended for the
second time trona the famed Kroli's Garden, and illus-
trated, by a miniature bon,bardment, his method of de-
stroying a town, or dispersing an army en route. A
very large assemblage of spectators, among whom were
princes, ministers, and other persons of distinction, wit-
nesied this extraordinary exhibition, and testified by
long continued cheers their admiration of the ascent,
and the subsequent display of fireworks in mid air. On
the occasion of Mr. Coxwell's first ascent, on the 11th
inst., so great was the collection of persons in the park,
that the police, numerous as they are in Berlin, proved
insufficient to maintain order. When General Wrangel
arrive d to inspect Mr. Coxwell's apparatus, he was saluted
by the mob outside the garden with a shower of stones,
and as republican cockadi.s were displayed, the military
were called out, and a disturbance expected. This, how-
ever, was fortunately prevented, and in order to avoid
a repetition of excitement, Mr. Coxwell was prohibited
to ascend again, under a heavy penalty, and was obliged
to discharge the gas from his balloon, in compliance with
police injunctions. Fresh arrangements having been
made by the President of Police for the better preserva-
tion of ord ?r, the intrepid English aeronaut was allowed
to ascend again, when all passed off quietly with much
eclat. The ascent of this large balloon (which has not
inaptly been styled on the continent the " War Balloon")
from a capital in a state of siege, too, is certainly a bold
and novel feat, which keeps up the character of British
enterprise, and does honour to the courage and scientific
ability of Mr. Coxwell. The war balloon has two cars,
and the aeronaut descends a rope ladder to his battery,
alter the manner of Lieut. Gale, of Cremorne celebrity.
It is stated, on good authority, that Mr. Coxweli's set,
vices were to have been brought into requisition in the
Mine provinces, had the disturbances there not been
suppressed. As to the applicability of the balloon fer
purposes of warfare, some experiments are about to take
place be'.ure the Prussian Government.
