Mr.. WISE AND HIS BALLooN.--We
learn from the Pennsylvania that, at
Lancaster. Pa, on Saturday last, Mr..
John Wise, the aronaut, attracted vast
crowd to see his great balloon ascend. in
which himself, his wife and children, his
sister. aud one. of his friends, had secured
seats for the voyage. Previous TO the
hour of ascension, numbers were let up
on trial trips into the air in the balloon,
which was not then fully inflated, by
means Of cord some FIVE hundred feet
long. Two dolla's were freely paid for
these trips by each passenger A storm
came up very suddenly, about 8 clock.
and Mr. Wise was anxioua 10 leave in
order TO get start Of the tempest, but
was resisted 10y his friends. Shortly
after the wind became very high, and be-
fore means could be taken to prevent it,
the balloon was rent asunder, and the
whole of the days sport spoiled. The
Pennsylvania learns that the intrepid
rOyageur will make another attempt in
about two weeks from Saturday last.

The Mormsons IN England.-Mr. Mac
kay has written for the London Morning
Cronicle, q full and interesting account Of
the Mormons, a large number Of whom are
constantly emigrating from England to this
country. He says that the Mormons boast
of having an emigration fund of three and
a halftons of California gold. DR.. Macksy
saw and mixed much with these enthusi-
asts in Liverpool. He was introduced to
one of their priests who evinced the most
friendly feeling finding, that he was the
author Of apiece Of poetry which is in high
favor amongst the sect. 1t seems that dur
ing the last ten years, the emigration Of
Mormons from England has been nearly
$4,000, and that during the last it amounted
to 2500-chiefy farmers and mechanics Of
a superior class, from Lancashire, York
shire, Wales, and the southern parts Of
Scotland. "The growth of Mohammedan-
ism," DR.. Mackay says, "rspid as it was, is
not to be compared with the rise and growth
of Mormonism."

Execution Of DE-. webster.


Professor. Webster, after his family lef
him last night, as he alleged in perfect un-
consciousness Of his coming fate, was
searched and placed in a new cell, in order
to prevent the possibility of suicide. From
O'Clock last night, till twelve, he passed
in devotional conversation with bis watch.
ers; at IL he fell into a short doze, but did
not sleep heavily; he spoke of his impen.
ding fate with fortitude and resignation.
and seemed grati6ed that the time Of his
death had been kept from his family. Al
the various noises Of the opening of a new
day, he seemed somewhat agitated, but
soon recovered his composure; by advice.
he breakfasted upon tea and bread. and in.
vited the watchers to partake with him.
He made preparations for ascending the
scaffold with frmness.' About thirty per-
sons were admitted to the Jail yard; the
house-tops and windows adjoining the jail
were crowded with persons, among whom
were many ladies': the stands near the Jail
were also crowded, but not densely. At
nine o'clock this morning, the last religious
ceremonies commenced with a formal
PRAYER. Jones was the officer who attend
ed during the scene: he and Laghter trea-
ted the prisoner with the Utmost kindness.
Last night, Dr.. Putnam remained more
than two hours with DR.. Webster, engaged
in devotional exercises. Webster onv
eed with the officers: said he had had great
dread at the thought Of being hung, bu,
was now Indifferent to it: he was perfectly
prepared to meet his fate. His appearance
confirmed his statement: his health remained
good, and he. had not lost flesh during his
confinement, but probably gained.
The construction of the gallows was
commenced after daylight. and completed
before 9 o'clock. Upon the requisition of
High Sheriff Eveleth, a force Of l25 mon,
consisting Of policemen and watchmen,
were detailed to keep guard; Of whom
Twenty-Five were stationed within the yard.
The scsffnld was in the centre Of the yard,
and the witnesses invited were admitted ten
minutes before 9 o'clock; their names were
called, and the business stated BY the Sher-
IL. They then formed In a column, two
and two. and visited the prisoners cell.
where Dr.. Putnam offered a prayer. The
hall leading to the cell was full. Stiffness
and solsmnity prevailed. The witnesses
then returned to the yard.
At twenty minutes before 10 o'clock,
High Sheriff Eveleth, attended by deputies
Ledburn, Human, Rullett, and others, con-
Quoted Professor Webster TO the scsffold.
The last duty was then performed. Web
ster died almost without Q struggle.
