respecting them from which an opinion could
be formed, as to the manner in which they
would be dealt with but his lordship, early
in his charge to the jury, spoke of the four
others as the subject of their verdict; and
he gave it as his opinion that, however pain
tul it might be, there was no possible means
Of their giving other than ii verdict Of Guilty
against them.
The Jury, after about quarter of an hours
absence, returned with a verdict in accord
ancc with his Lordship's charge. that the
four prisoners were GUILTY.
Since, four of them, Anderson, Travis
gurs, alias johnson, George Jones and VIM
llazeton, were put on trial on the charge o
piracy. One of them pleaded guilty. The
jury brought in, after fifteen minutes consul
tation, "A verdict of guilty.
On the next day, the prisoners all pleaded
guilty to the charge Of the murder of Capt
Mckenzie.
Carr and Galloway were then tried fp
the murder Of Capt. Fielding. The Cour
charged the Jury that the crimes of Fielding
who must have beeu the inducer to the orig
inaI piracy, were no paliation of the guilt o
his murdercrs. The jury, however, broush
in IA verdict Of not guilty.

COPPER BALLOON.

An experiment is about to be made in
Paris on air. balloons, which is exciting the
curiosity of the scientifce world TO an extra
ordinary degree. A balloon composed of
sheet-copper, the 2OOth part of an inch in
thickness, is so far completed that it is now
exhibited to the public, and is expected to be
ready for ascent in course Of the summer.
The constructor is NJ. Marcy Monge, who
has undertaken the work for the purpose of
testing the practicabilily of terial navigation,
and of rendering balloons subservient 10 the
study of electrical and magnetic phenomena
The idea of metal balloon originated with
Lans in l760; and in 1884 a metallic globe
was constructed, but without success, by
Guyton de Morveau, the grandfather of NJ.
Monge. In the present balloon, united by
bands like the ribs of mellon, have been
soldeied by DR.. Rchemonls aueOgenous
process; tina, is, the edges of the sheets have
been fused together, wiihou, any soldering
substance, by means of oxy-hy drogen blow
pipe. Upwards of 1900 square yards of
copper have been used in the construction
of this globe, which is about 80 fee, in diam
eter, weighs 500 pounds, and Is estimated to
contain 100 pounds of hydrogen gas. II is
stated in the journal Universal that NJ. Du-
puts Delcourt, the celebrated French aron-
aut, will shortly make an ascent in this bal
loon. The main object proposed by its
constructor Is the power of ,raversing the air
by IA system which ne has developed in a
memoir submitted to the French Academy.
One OF the advantages gained by the suhsli-
tuition of copper for silk, or other fbrons
material, is that the metal will prevent the
escape of gas, so that the Gronaut may re-
main IA long time in the air, and thus be en-
ablcd 10 study the constant atmospheric cur
rents. 1t is likewise proposed to employ
this balloon in deciding whether II is possible
to prevent hail, whicl, is due to the e"ctr-
city of concurrcn, clouds. AS the balloon
may be kept suspended long time in the
atmosphere, it is proposed 10 connect it with
the earth by metal wire, so as to conduct
the electricity from the clouds; by these
means it is supposed that the formation OF
hail which is so destructive to the crops OF
the firmer and gardener, may be precluded
The idea of rendering the balloons Warders
off of hail or paragreles, is highly ingenious
and most people will be glad to witness its
realization.

delicate creature struggling in the grasp

SAGACITY OF DoG.-The following
curious instance Of the intelligence of a
dog is related by the Edinburgh Weekly
Register The animal belonged to a crle-
braled chemist, who tried upon i, the efiec
of certain poison, and upon the next day
administered IA counier-poisOn, which had
the effect of preserving the poor creatures
life. The next day another dose was offered
him !: but merci! said he, lie would no,
touch it. Different sorts Of poisonous drugs
we're presented to INN, but he resolutely
refused all. Bread was offered, but he would
not touch IT: water, but he would not drink
To re-assure him, his master offered hin
bread and meat of which he himself ate in
the dogs presence and Of that the saeacious
animal hesitated not to parlake. lie was
taken to IA fountain, but he would drink nc
where but from the spot where the water
eushed free and fresh. This continued fol
several days. until the master, touched by
the extraordinary intelligence of the poor
creature, resolved to make no more attempt,
upon him with his poisons. The dog is nov
very gay and very happy, but will eat o
nothing that he does not first SEQ his master
touch, nor will he drink except from tht
purest spot Of the fountain.
