 A Perth Amboy correspondent of The Newark psilv Advsrtlsss has ssan the arial ship. new in progress of construction At that place by pr. An. drsWs which viii require some time yet for com pletlOn. He writes:
 All that the spectator now sees is the frame work aopar. ntiy, of at-boltomed vcssei, st feet h length by 5 in breadth, with a depth Of hold tif inc term may be usedl Of TiS feet This frame work is of reeds attached 10 keel. and one broad steak running round, on level with the deck in an ordinary vessel, and Is suspended, at present, by small cords from the roof of the buidng-its whole weight being under 800 pounds This is the lower half of tho balloon, the upper half, of the same dimensions, will consist of the silk alone, which viii also envelope the lower half. forming, as It were, the shesthing of the vessel Beneath al the distance of Is feet, will be suspended the car for ,he navigator, and from which tho movements of the machine will be directed.
 Having, by some process discovered by himself secured the control of his balloon that neither loss of balance nor loss of gas will be required to secure proper degree of bEoyancy, Dr. Andrews will depend upon his motive power tif my sus- piciOns are cOrrecD upon the wind, from whatever quarter 1t may blow, acting in combination with the ascending force of the baloon SO that neither steam nor magnetism. at present, entefs into has calculations. He does not allow himself to be dis turbed about difficulties that may be suggested respectBk the retention of gas for days or weeks- the influence of storms, or various other PFospec- tive lneOnysniences and impedDents; his intentiOn being at present to construct an experimental bal- loon, capable of bearing only himself and assis- an in which to test the pFacticabiiy of continued snG dirscted progression through the air; having demonstrated by his models the certainty of results within limited times and distances. elf can only make one voyage"--said he--" to New York and back, lt will be enough. The thing will have been e6ected--aIl impedmeuts will be hereafter easily obvlated. and l shall not if my machine Is destroyed the next hour"
 Dr. A. politely explained to me, as tar as could reasonably expect, the presumed operation of his balloon; but he does not profess to regard 1t any thing more than experiment. He wants Lgt, and was surprised to learn from him tha, several questions, which for want of time he had not been able tO investigate for himself. he could not get solved by some of the most scientific men of the country to whom he had submitted them. He is pursuing an unbeaten path, and his progress is stantly retarded by obstacles not known Of until they present themselves in his way. As to his success, will venture opinion, but 1t does ns good to see enthusiasm thus displayed.

Mr. Baneroh.--A very amusing correspondent of the Liverpool Albion, who communicates every week couple of columns of what be calls Metro pohtan Gossip, gives account of grand enter tainment at the house of The Turkish Ambassador in which he thus illustrates the present minister from the United States:
 "Mr Bancroft, in his plain and rather quakerish cut black coat, ribbcnless and siarless as he was without much n diamond shirt-stud failed not 10 draw much more of the attention of the ebseryant spectator than any of his glitlerng fellow professionals around him.
