AMERICAN BALLOON DISASTER.

The balloon ascension of Mr. S. A. King, Thursday
afternoon, from the Zaological Garden, at Fairmount,
was a terrific affair indeed. Just before six o'clock Mr.
King stepped into his car, but finding that the gas was
not -sufficient to take him up, he threw out all his ballast,
and he arose a few feet from the ground. His car was
held by a slender cord, and just as it was about to be
cut loose, the car was dashed with some violence against
one of the sheds of the enclosure. The people rushed
and caught hold of the net ropes, and pulled the balloon
back into the enclosure. He said he was determined to
go, if the gas was sufficiently powerful to take him, and
off he started again.
This time he arose over the enclosure and came in
contact with the Wire-bridge. He soon became extri-
cated, but struck the telegraphic wire, which hold him
some time. Presently he became loose, struck another
part of the bridge, and finally went down plump into the
waters of the Schuylkill. Au exciting and terrible scene
was enacted. The balloon bounced up and down, and
in this way proceeded for several hundred yards. Every
time it descended Mr. King would be plunged in, appa-
rently up to his neck in the water.
The people on shore ran in every direction; several
boats put out to the assistance of Mr. King, but from all
we can learn he arrived on the shore on the opposite side
of the river, more frightened, perhaps, than hurt.
This was the first attempt on the part of Mr. King to
make an aerial voyage.—Pennsylvanian.

APPROPRIATION OF A CLIURCII TO TUE ROMISU
FAITII.—On Wednesday a very crowded meeting of the in-
habitants of Gravesend was held at the Town-hall, for the
purpose, as stated in the notice, of considering the best
means of providing additional spiritual instruction for that
parish, with especial reference to the additional need of such
instruction occasioned by the approprition of St. John's
Chapel to livulish purposes.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS CF TIIIS DAY.
TlMES.—There is a branch of statistics which
has been lately forced into notice by actual events of
a new and extraordinary character. " The statist"
no longer confines himself to populations, that is to
the number of persons dwelling quietly in certain
countries and cities, and such sober facts, for society
itself is undergoing a chhnge, and is no longer con-
tent to dwell quietly. Strange to say, our railways,
our steamers, and our mastery of the ocean, have
brought us back, in some respects, to the habits of
the Nomads and Massagetm, or the crusaders and
pilgrims of a later age. Within helf a year six mil-
lion visits have been paid to the great shrine of art by
persons who have travelled scores, and hundred, and
thousands of miles for the purpose. Excursion trains
bring up four or five thousand a day by one line of rail -
way. Eighty-five thousand children sang " God save
the Queen" at Manchester on Friday, and fifty thou-
sand adults repeated the hymn the next day in Hyde-
park. We forget how many millions are returned as
having travelled by railway 1114 year. The visits to
the British Museum and the Thames Tunnel are now
of the millionaire class. Twenty years ago the figure
of. the national debt stood 'alone in its glory, as the
only work of man that approached to the infinite,
and was really stupendous. We are now so familiar
with great figures, that the national debt is descend-
ing, by comparison, to the level of our ordinary con-
ceptions. But, among all these vast figures that are
becoming domesticated and vulgar, there is none so
important, though so familiar, as the figures of the
emigration which is actually draining these isles.
We have repeated almost act...nauseam that the people
are are leaving us at the rate of near a thousand
a day. " Very well; what of that? They are only
Irishmen, with a sprinkling of the ever-wander-
ing Scotch, and some of the less fortunate or re-
spectacle of our own countrymen." Be they what
they may, the feet remains that we are witnessing a
phenomenon of the same class with the migrations of
the Gauls, the Goths, the Huns, the Turks, the Meg-
yars, and other tribes, that before the settlement of
Europe roamed about looking for a home. " Fami-
liarity," it is said, "breeds contempt ;" and certain
it is that no sooner is a great fact familiar than men
treat it with indifference, and do not even seem to ap-
prehend it correctly, Much less follow it up to its
consequences. In Ireland the fact is brought home
to the understanding in so forcible a manner by
the actual sight. of emigrant-trains, emigrant-ships,
depopulated districts, ruined habitations, and labour
beginning to rise in the market, that it cannot be
dispoeed-of so easily as in this country. The journals
there have styled , the movement the " Celtic
exodus;" and, considering the actual difference
between the condition of an average Irish peasant at
home and that which he easily attains to in the United
States, we shall not quarrel with the reflection which
the name seems to cast on the rulers left behind.
The writers who treat of this exodus tell us that it
will go on till the whole race is departed and their
place left untenanted. Having once begun, the
migration will go on ; and the strong social instincts
that have hitherto bound the Irishman to the soil of
his birth will now operate in drawing him into the
great westward stream. In England it has been
anticipated by some writers, that when the Irish
population should be reduced to a certain low level,
the inducements to remain would rise so high that
the migration would stop, and the remnant left
behind would be contentedly and permanently at-
tached to the soil. The Irish authorities, as we are
disposed to think very correctly, do not expect the
migration to stop as soon as the population has
assumed its proper proportion to the work to be
done. The people who have been in the habit of
paying 30e. an acre would not now remain on the
land if, it were reduced to 20s. or I Os.—they will
have it at no price. Their minds are completely
made up to go after their friends—to go home, that
home not being " Ould Ireland," but the "Far
West !'' The stream once set that way, it will not
stop till Ireland is absolutely depopulated, and the
only question is, when will that be ? Twenty years
at the present rate would take away the whole of the
industrious classes, leaving only the proprietors and
their families, members of the learned professions,
and those whose age and infirmities keep them at
home. Twenty years are but a short time in treating
great social or political questions. It is more than
twenty years since the passing of the Emancipation
Act and the introduction of the Reform Bill. What
if it should really come to pass that before another
twenty years the whole Celtic rade shall have
disappeared from these isles, and the problem
of seven centuries received its solution ? We
dwell in wonderful times, in an age of great
discoveries, splendid improvements, and grand
consummations. Art has always been found the
handmaid of human developments. The discovery of
gunpoWder put an end to the little wars and little
states of the middle ages, and introduced larger poli-
cal manipulations. The discovery of printing pre-
pared for the revival of learning and arts, and paved
the way to the Reformation. The discovery of the
mariner's compass showed our navigators a path to
the East Indies and the New World. It may be the
first mission of railways to set all the populations of
the old world on the move, and send them in quest of
independent and comfortable homes. And when will
this movement stop? Incuriousness and prejudice
are ready with the reply, that it will stop, at all events,
when the Celtic race is exhausted. The Englishman,
we are assured, is too attached to his country, and too
comfortable at home, to cross the Atlantic. But surely
it is very premature to name any such period for this
movement, or to say beforehand what English la-
bourers will do, when seven or eight millions of Irish
have led the way to comfort and independence. The
Englishman is now attached to his own home, be-
cause he knows of no other. His ideas of other re•
gions are dark and dismal. He trembles at the thought
of having to grope his way through the Cimmerian
obscurity of another hemisphere. The single fact
that he will have no " parish" in America, is, in his
mind, a fatal bar to locotnotion. But all this is quick
passing away, Geography, union workhouses, ocean
mails, and tee daily sight of letters arriving in ten
days from prosperous emigrants, are fast unrooting
the British rustic from the soil, and giving
him cos-
mopolitan ideas. In a very few years the question
uppermost in his mind will be whether he will be
better off here or there ? Whether he should go with
the young and enterprising, or stay at home with the i
old and stupid ? If a quarter of a million British
subjects have left this country for the Australian co-
lonies in the present generation, there may easily
be
a much larger movement to
a nearer and more wealthy
region. It has been imagined, indeed, that such a
migration will have a natural tendency to stop itself
at a certain stage. We are told that the English la-
bourer will find a new field in Ireland, deserted by
the Celt. It will, however, cost no more effort of
mind to cross the ocean at once than to cross the
Irish Channel for a land which, in the English
mind, must ever be associated with violence and blood.
High wages, again, we are told, the enjoyment of a
liberal government, and an improved condition, will
bind the Englishman afresh to the soil of his ances-
tors. But when you melee 's:the English labourer
have put him more in a condition
richer, more independent, more intelligent, and more
, wherever it may be
found. The men who in the United States leave
their homes for the Fur West are generally they who
have prospered where they are, and who want the
of these isles, sup-
posing datectnitpize'rnioysoellek his fortune

CHRONICLE—At the time when the French
Conservatives, in their panic at the return of M.
Eugene Sue, engrafted on the Constitution the law of
May 31—as the ordinary French nomenclature de-
scribes the organic statutes annexing qualifications of
domicile and settlement to the electoral franchise—
we contented ourselves with explaining the nature of
the measure and expressing our opinion of its vast
importance. The law was one which could only be
judged by its operation and results. It could not
reasonably be disputed that the mischief against
which it was directed was assuming a magnitude that
naturally provoked audacity in the attempt to remove
it. The large constituencies created by the Constitu-
tion were provieg utterly unmanageable. It is, of
course, illogical, and contrary to the principles of free
government, to pare down electoral bodies and to cul -
tail the privilege of giving expression to political
sentiment, simply as a means of shutting out a parti-
cular party learn power, or a particular policy from
ascendancy, even though the party be Socialist, and the
policy revolution en permanence. But in the eyes of
reflecting, men the fault of the French constituencies

the Moderates arid Red Republicans were struggling
on the level ground of universal suffrage, the former
could not afford to lose a single element of strength—
much less that which was furnished by the great name
of the President, and by the vast authority which he
temporarily wields. But the moment that the
new law gave them an artificial advan-
tage, they cast Bonapartism aside, and
fought for their own band. Louis Napoleon is
now, to all appearance, aiming at restoring the
original conditions of the conflict. He seems to feel
that, with an unfettered franchise he is the only can-
didate whom the Conservatives could successfully op-
pose to a Red Republican celebrity. Then, again,
there is the chance that, appalled by this fresh evi-
dence of his courage and his determination, they may
buy him off by voting the revision, or by an extra-
constitutional prolongation of his term of power.
And all calculations upon existing data, appear to
establish that, if he perseveres in his hostility to the
law, he can bring about its repeal. He is said to be
desirous of summoning to the new Ministry M. de
Falloux and M. °non Barrot, both of whom are
known to be of opinion that the restrictions were car-
ried too far. Even if they refuse their concurrence,
there is little doubt that a majority can be consti-
tuted from the votes which he can command in the
Assembly, added to those of the Republican Opposi-
tion, and of the larger number of Legitimists,
who think that the law has diminished their
strength in the western and southern departments.
Whatever comes of it, it is beyond question that the
President's decision will issue in results of the gravest
importance.

HERALD.—It is unhesitatingly stated, by Whigs
who mingle and live with the members of the Cabinet,
that the meeting of that body, summoned for this
day, will have to consider and resolve upon the gene-
ral principles of the new Reform Bill. The state-
ment appears to us improbable ; but we receive it
from quarters which can hardly be mistaken. We
regard it as improbable, because, except Parliament is
to meet in November, it is manifestly unwise to de-
velop so early a measure which must greatly agitate
the public mind ; and which, if it be laid before a
meeting of a dozen gentlemen in October, can hardly
remain a profound secret until February next. How-
ever, as we have said, the fact is that Whigs of a
high rank, and who daily associate with Cabinet Mi-
nisters, believe, and state, that the measure to be
debated this afternoon is the new Reform Bill.
And this naturally leads our thoughts to the character
of that measure. We expected that little would
be heard of the tenour or details of the scheme
until it was opened by Lord John Russell in the
House of Commons. And, therefore, we felt dis-
posed to avoid useless speculation so long beforehand.
If, however, the measure is to see the light so long
before its Parliamentary appearance, it is time that
we began to make up our minds about it. We have
often expresssed our hope—and from Mr. Disraeli's
late allusion to the subject we trust that that hope
will be realised—that the new measure of reform,
whenever it appeared, would not be received by the
Conservative party in a hostile spirit. There is no-
thing iu the nresent electoral system to command the
respect or attachment of the Conservative party. It
possesses no antiquity, it offers no claims to deference
arising from its parentage or origiu ; and it has cer-
tainly worked to the satisfaction of no party : gaining
the praise of neither Whigs, Radicals, nor Conserv-
atives. If, then, it is now condemned by its own au-
thors and patrons, sured it may be removed
without a struggle; it is no concern of
ours to preserve any portion of the fabric. But
while we remain in this neutral and indif-
ferent state of mind as to the abolition of the present
system, it will behove us to see that the new scheme
is conceived and framed without any great and pal-
pable unfairness. We have said, and we are inclined
to continue in that opinion, that it will not be easy to
invent a worse system than that which is about to be
condemned. Yet we must admit the possibility—
first, of retaining all the worst points in the Reform
Bill of 1831•2 ; and secondly, of framing the rest of
the new plan after the fashion of those worst points:
To oppose any scheme of this kind the Conservative
part must hold themselves fully prepared. The chief
faults of the Bill of 1831.2 were found by experience
to be-1. The constituencies it created in the large
towns. 2. The constituencies it created or left in the
small towns. Both were alike bad, though widely
differing in character. The great towns,—and more
especially the metropolitan boroughs,—were made
the strongholds of Radicalism. The small towns
were delivered over to bribery. Let us look at these
two features apart. Of the mob-constituencies
created in the metropolitan boroughs, and in such

lions of .the French people. When the metropolis
returned a large majority of Socialist members, the
Conservatives instantly resolved to punish Paris by
disfranchising its artisans. Tnis they did effectually
by ordaining that none should have a vote without
proving that he had been domiciled and employed in
his present locality for a certain time. But the
working class, and more than the working class in
great towns, is for ever changing. Then their em-
ployers' signature was required to establish the claim
of the employed. This, under a hundred pretexts,
might be withheld. And thus some two or three
out of the six millions of French electors were de•
prived of their right of suffrage by the Assembly, and
with the consent and co-operation of the President.
The latter was at the time, no doubt, persuaded
that the best chance of being continued in power lay
in his conciliating the middle, the propertied, and
timid classes, together with the conservative party in
the Assembly, which was their champion. Accord-
ingly he consented to fling the people overboard. And
now it appears that Louis Napoleon's only chance is
from the votes of these very people whom he disfran-
chised, every shade of the Parliamentary parties
having turned against him. The President, therefore,
after shutting the popular flood out of the elections
for his own purpose on the 31st of May, would now
open the sluices and let the popular flood in again to
float him. But to this the Assembly, of course,
stands opposed, and with the Assembly every knot of
statesmen that hope to exist by either the favour or
tolerance of the Assembly, or that undertake to carry
on the Government in accord with the majority.
The signal for the President's standing out and in-
sisting upon the repeal of the law of the 15th of May,
was given in a leading article of the Constitutionnel,
signed Granier de Cast•agnac. It may here be re-
marked, that articles in the journals of France seem
to have all the same prestige and to wield the same
influence, when signed by individuals, as when they
were expressed in the collective or editorial
we. Never was the French press more powerful,
or its weight more felt than at the present
moment. No one could deny the ability with which
the manifesto of the Constitutionnel against the dis-
franchising law was written. The Socialists, it ar-
gued, are powerless without a flag; you have given
them one by disfranchising the people, whose right
they may uphold. In giving the Socialists such a
flag, there is no class or party interested to oppose
them. The peasantry, who might take arms against
the red republic; would not muster and march against
universal suffrage. All that universal suffrage had
done was to disinherit the old, corrupt clique of poli-
ticians that had monopolised place. These by the law
of May have recovered their old advantages, and hence
the mass of petty and personal intrigues that disgrace
the country, confound all principles, and render un-
certain all results. To these arguments Louis Na-
poleon has added his own. In them he has declared
his opinion, that there are but two solid sources of
governmental authority, hereditary kingly right, or
popular elective right; and that bothmust be
perfect,
for that no quasi-legitimacy, or quasi-elec-
tive will hold. The executive of France must, there-
fore, be chosen by the whole people or by none. A
portion will not suffice. The remark that rises to
every one's lip, is, why this very fine and proper
chain of reasoning did not occur to Prince Louis
Napoleon when he sanctioned his Ministers in in-
troducing the law of May disfranchising the mil-
lions? The entire political world in France is dis-
puting about principles, when it is clear that no one
party in power has the least sincere respect for
principle of any kind. It is mere time-serving,
gilded over with fine and ambiguous words, the Prince
himself setting the example. But although Louis
Napoleon gave himself up from the first to the guid-
ance of the reactionists, he has had still, from time
to time, fits of awakening to liberal ideas, and to a
consciousness that they alone could save him. Hence
the letter to Colonel Oudinot against the conduct of
the Roman Government, and hence so many liber.al
sentiments and resolves, and stray speeches at

moments. These, however, are but faint

people may be disappointed that the last acts of the
Commission in connexion with the Great Exhibition
are of so subdued and unceremonious a character, and
looking at the public feeling on the subject, it cer-
tainly still seems to us a matter of regret that au
undertaking so avowed at its commencement should
be allowed to terminate with such meagre and shabby
observances of respect. It would almost seem as if its
first promoters had lost their regard for it on ac-
count of its popularity, and were glad to bury it
quietly after it had lived its day and served its pur-
pose. There are, however, we confess, practical
difficulties to be urged in favour of the course which
has been determined on, and at least it is now too late
to alter arrangements which, though they may disap-
point public
expectation, were no doubt snide with
the best intentions.
