Balloon eoyage from England TO Amer
ica.-Mr. Monck Mason, since his success
ful transit across the English channel,
in Mr.. Green's mammoth balloon, now pro-
poses to make an Hrial voyage to America.
Nothing more is necessary than for the voy
ayers to avail themselves of the favorable
currents of wind, and when these are adj
verse, to ascend into those regions where
there is no current. There they could see
an entire belt of the earth pass beneath them
in the space Of twenty-four hours, not by
circumnavigation through the atmosphere,
but by the sub-rotation of our planet. When
the city or place which it was desirous to
reach, should come at night angles to the
halloon, nothing more would be necessary
than to descend. An extremely convenient
mode of travelling. Take up position
over England, for example, above the region
ofthe atm n1sphere and caculat tc by the chro-
hometer when the place, or any given par
allel of latitude, would pass under the
balloon This in fact would be travelling
with the velocity of the earth's annual mo-
ton without budging an inch.

Norfol, Beacon relates story of the elope-
ment of girl Of 20 years of age, from the
house of her aunt, in Mort Carolina, with
negro slave, "a years old, the property
of her aunt. They arrived in Norfolk, on
their way to the North, in a one horse
covered cart-the girl being dressed in II
male attire, and personating the master,
while her paramour acted in the capacity of
her servant. They stopped at a public
house, and asked for accommodations for
man and horse. Their true characters be-
ing suspected they were questioned-the
girl confessed the stratagem, and the man
was detained as a runaway slave. The
girl had left the house of her aunt, with her
consent, under the pretence of going to visit
her mother, and the negro man attended
her for the purpose of bringing back the
horse and cart They had previously
agreed upon the elopemcnt, and the man
procured the bows clothes, and persuaded
her to put them on.-B0St. Times.

Discoveries in Pompeii.-The work of
excavation is, it seems, going on vigorously
in this long buried city. 1t is said that in
the month of November, three skeletons
were discovered. lei conjectured that they
belonged to an inhabitant of the city at the
time of It's destruction, and to his wife and
daughter. On the finger of the skeleton
supposed to be the daughter, was found a
small gold ring, and in her ears two ear
rings. It is but a short time since there
were discovered sixty-four silver vases, and
a valuable store of curious antiquities.

A Valuable Stare. A very beautiful girl
belonging to the estate of John French, a
deceased gambler at New Orleans. was sold
few days since for the round sum of
$1,000. An ugly looking bachelor named
Couch. a member of the Council of one of
the Principalities, was the purchaser. The
Picayuno says that the girl is brunette
remarkable for her beauty and intelligence /;
and that .here was considerable contention
who should be the purchaser. She was
however persuaded to accept Gouch-hc
having made her princely promises. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, that the fair captive her
self had voice in the decision as to who
should be her future master.
