Yesterday afternoon Castle Garden
was filled, and the Battery thrnnged to
witness the promised balloon ascension o!
Monsieur and Nademoiselie Lauriat.
After the iaaation. and all the prepara-
tions finished, the young Jady appeared in
the garden, and was enthusiastically
cheered by the immense audience. Mad.

large size, fac countenance and genteel
appearance. She was dressed in white,
and had IN black velvet jockey cap,
surmounted with white ostrich feathers

the car. and standing beside her father,
The cheers were redoublad, and the walls
of the garden echoed with the plaudlts.
The basket had been heavily laden with
ballast, which was then remov' d, leaving
only q few sand bags for incidental use
The balloon then appeared to have SUI
icient ascrnlve power to perform is voy-
age, aud rose gradually in the garden la
king an easterly direction, Nr. Laurlat
waving his hat, and his daughter her
handkerchief, amid repeated plaadits from
below. 1t was cviden, however, that the
ascension of both parties could not take
place, aud in an instant the car was
dashed against the ballis,rade surinount-
ing the garden, which was carried away
by its violence. The balloon and car
were here arrested by the spectators and
launched into the air, but they descended
slowly to short distance at the foot OF
The battery, where il was deemed neces-
sary, for the safety OF the young lady, to
ulight which she diG without difficulty
or accident, and was conducted back to
the garden, whero she received the con-
gratuIalions OF numerous visiters. Mad i.
Lauriat, during the whole scene, exhibit
ed The utmost self possession and compo-
isurc, ard expressed q confidence that her
next attempt at I'm aerial flight will not
be frustrated by any accident.
A,r. Lauriat who remained IN the car,
was rowed into the river to a sufficient
distance To clear himself from the ada
Iceni trees, and was third time buoyed
'upward, and rose To an elevation of nine

were at one period several hundred feet
below him.

A correspondent of the Salem Gazette puts the

Of the worst kind, who are initiating bubble that
will burst one ofthese days upon the heads of in
nocent victims. He says :-'' The noble exam
pie of Salem merchant, when impor,uned to be-
come Il party df one of these Eastern frauds, is
worthy of imitation and praise. lie was offered
40 900 dollars to head the list Of purchaser two
townships of land 10 give j, currency with others
at the same time he was promised an indemnify
ing bond to hold him harmless in case of any loss.
lie spurned the 9!Gered 6ribe as an insult upon
his honor--but this case shows the depth Of the
frauds praclsed in these specuations, and which
should be proclaimed from one end Of tho count
~ to the other.'

Attempt foeomn,it rape. The New Bed
ford Mercury Of Monday says, that the Police
Court of that town " was engaged on Saturday in
the examination Of John Crocker, charged with
an assault and battery upon the body of Mary
Hines, with intent to rapish. A very thorough
examination of the witnesses the part of the
government was had, from which it appeared, that
the complainant, girl years Of age, was re-
turning to her fathers house from the Long Plain,
and when abou, two and half miles from town
| on the counlry road was violently assaulted by
some person, whom she supposed to be the respon-
dent. The Court having ordered Crocker to re-
cognize in the sum Of $500 30 appear at the next
term of the Court Of Common Pleas, lie give bail
for his appearance-and as the case must neces-
sarly be tried at another Court, we forLear more
particular statement of the evidence"
The New Bedford Gazette Of the same dute
says, " Crocker is a mechanic, who has hitherto
borne unexceptionable character, and if not guilty
of the horrible attempt, is at least very unior-
tunate man to oe surrounded by remarkable cir
cumstanees."

At late Ganeral Episcopal Conven-
ton at Philadelphia it was resolved that
any diocese ofa certain extent, containing
eight thousand spare miles, and thirty
Presbyters, might with the consent OF the
Bishop thereof, be divided. Al the in
stance of Bishop OndsrdonlS of N. York,
the following opinions were given as to
certain part Of the church service.
|. That IN the Confession IN the Daily
Morning and Evening Prayer, the people
should follow the minister, not by para
graphs, as has been usual, but in the
same manner as they unto in the Lords
Prayer, the Greed, and the Confession in
the Communion Service.
9. That IN all joint acts, were the min
istcr and people are to unite audibly, as
in the Confessions, the Creeds, the Lords
PRAYER, the Trisagion, and the last of the
prayers for Ash Wednesday the word
Amen should be pronouced by both the
minister and the people its use by the
people alono being considered as then
only proper when It is response by them
to an act of worship which had been au-
dibly repeated by the minister only.
g. That there should be no prayer in
the pulpit before sermon.

travelling in the far west, writes home an
inter estng account of the dealings with
some backlegs on board steamboat
They attempted to gamble, and the Cap

them became very insolent DR. +. says:
Capt. Baldwin, as brave as julius
Caesar, bore the insoence of the fellow
for some time, and then told him to go
below He refused and with his lelt
hand the captain hurled him down stairs.
With a sword came in his hand, he en-
deavored to ascend, in resistance Of or
ders, but the captain wrenched the sword
out of his hand and threw it overheard ; at
the same time selzing chair, he broke
it over his head, commanding him to
keep below Why Captain" said he
in a coaxng tone, do you beat my head
to pieces ? keep below !'--'Havn't l
behaved myself peaceably Don't beat
me so,' said he, while endeavoring to as
cend and get near the Captain. He'll
Tve got no knife exclaimed the black
leg and at the same instant unsheathed
butcher knife, l2 inches long, from its
glittering case, and made blow at tho
heart Of the captain. Some one gave his
left arm u blow, which made him drop
the case. The Captain caught the
right hand, which held the knife, much
resembling Turkish scimetar and in
the same instant Mr. M'Gunnegle, of St.
Louis, forced the deadly weapon out Of
his grasp. A gun was then handed the
Captain, and the disarmed rufiian was
compelled to keep below. Ono Of his
comrades attempted, at one moment of
the alIray to seize the Captain, whi.s
keeping his opponent from ascending
but fellow passenger interfei ed, and
told bin much to his discomfit, tha: he
was one one OF the same gang. All of
them, doubtless, being in,imidated by the
force Of men on the right side Of the con-
trovcrsy, thought it prudent to keep a
loof.
A few minutes after the contes, was
ended, the offender was landed in the
darkness Of night, ,on the Illinois side of tho
Ohio. lie swore that he would be tho
last man the Captain should live TO pub
!. ashore, and that he would shoot him
whenever he should see him. AT the
mouth Of the Tennessee river on the Ken
lucky side, the other members Of this
black leg company left us,with feelings Of
modification that they had como their
twelve miles without any success in their
Ibusiness."
