WAR BALLOONS.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sut,—You may recollect that when Captain War-
ner's problem of the "long range" came out in the
form of a balloon it excited much merriment in the
House of Commons; in that assembly ridicule and
pomposity too often pass for sagacity and profundity.
But how stands the matter now ?
It appears the Austrians have made a trial of
rerial machines in the bombardment of Venice, and
intend to make another essay of them upon Cornorn ;
fortunately, however, they are not exactly up to the
thing, and it is to be hoped no one who understands
the subject will instruct them in so unholy a cause
as that of crushing the ill used Hungarians.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY PROGRESS. The
remaining portion of Bint hill, near Buckingham, is in
the course of removal, ar d it is believed that this, the
only obstruction between Brackley and Salidon hill, will,
with the latter hill, also be cut through by the middle
of October. Between Islip and Bicester Messrs. Smith
and Fountain have " gangs" at work, and have now
but little to do. Messrs. Carrick and Bulman are ar-
ranging for currying on the works from Claydon to
Bicester. The laying of the permanent road and the
ballasting from Brackley towards Banbury is proceed-
ing. It is ready to near Greatwcrth, and it is expected
thut by the time that is done, Ur. Raby's work from
that place towards Banbury will be ready to pass along.
A few days since, Sir ii. Verney, Bart., M.P., the
chairman of the company, travelled along the line from
BuLkseghtm to Brackley by the ballast engine. lie
expressed his approbation of the forward state of the
works. Worltmcn have commanccd clearing the ground
fur the foundstion of the station at Buckingham. This
will be a wooden one only—at least that for pas,erigera„
which is to be on the Buckingham property.—Banbury
Guardian.
