GREAT BALLOON VOYAGE.

A balloon voyage has recently been made in
America, which has eclipsed that famous one made
some years ago by our veteran aeronaut Green, who
succeeded in making a journey from this country
to Nassau. The distance travelled by Messrs. Wise,
La2(101or eiles, t,hGe Gazer, and

balloon, with its aeronauts, left St. Louis, ou hours
'Thethe
Mississippi, on one Friday evening, at 20 minutes
past seven, and arrived at the termination of its
career at 20 minutes past two on Saturday, having
passed over in its course the entire length of Lake
Erie, and crossing between Buffalo and the Niagara
Falls. After leaving Buffalo the aeronauts encoun-
tered a terrible hurricane, which swept the balloon
with great rapidity towards Lake Ontario. At this
moment the aeril ship lost its ascending power, and
sank quickly towards the water ; provisions, water,
ballast, and, finally, the propelling machine, were
pitched overboard, in order to make the machine
ascend. The oars and seats of the boat attached:to
the balloon were given to the waves, and the
aeronauts clambered to the car, the balloon being
not more than thirty feet above the water, while
dashing on at the rate of two miles per minute.
The balloon reached the shore after a fearful run
of fifty miles, when it rushed into a thick forest,
dashing the occupants of the car to and fro against
the trunks of the trees, until it was at last brought
up by a tall sycamore, when the silk was torn into
ribbons and the gas escaped. The greatest alti-
tude attained during the voyage was something
over two miles, and the balloon was charged at
starting with 75,000 cubic feet of gas. The voyage
was intended for an experiment preparatory to
crossing the Atlantic. Fortunately, none of the
aeronauts sustained any great injury, and they are
all confident that aerial navigation for groat dis-
tances will yet be found to be perfectly practicable.

[ADVERTISEMENT.)—The salutary effect of Du Barry's
delicious Revalenta Arabica Food in removing indigestion
(dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and
liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility,
without medicine, is admirably displayed by the following
letters :—" Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk, June 10, 1850.—
No. 4,2oB.—Eight years dyspepsia, nervousness, debility,
with cramps, spasms, and nausea, for which my servant had
consulted the advice of many have been effectually removed
by Du Barry's health-restoring Food. I shall be happy to
answer any inquiries. Rev. J. W. Flavell.,, "Bury, Lan-
cashire, Aug. 17, 1851.—Gentlemen,—For a considerable
time I have suffered severely from'a violent pain in my left
side, extreme flatulency, accompanied by an intolerable
sensation of heartburn, and other disagreeable symptoms of
dyspepsia. Various remedies, alleged infallible, were tried
in yam, and for a long time I was never 24 hours without
violent pain ; indeed, I was unfit for the performance of my
daily duties. I was induced to try your food. In less than
an hour I found relief, and my recovery was very rapid.
The duties which previously had been an intolerable
burden, became a delightful exercise, and I have since
accomplished more labour with less fatigue than
I ever expected to be able to perform. I have
never had a retturn of my complaint.—D. Thomas."
