Flying at Inst.

man of Madrid has assembled with a rand motion
into the air, and continued her flight some twelve
hundred Yards or more, by means of a machine
invented by one Diego, of Salamanca. About
the same time, too, it was announced in Paris
that Frenchman named d Arville, had perfected
machine capable of accomplishing the same
purpose, and that he was soon going to fly from
Paris to Dion, TO show that he could beat the
railroad. So many new inventions are announc-
ed, which come to nothing, that we have referred
to these rather as matters of uriosiy and amuse-
ment than as probabilities.
But we find by our latest Paris papers that the
discovery Of dArville is likely to prove no joke,
but reality. At any rate, the man has sue
ceeded in flying, to the satisfaction of nearly all
the Paris editors, and of several learned scientif
c men. We translate from the Chronique de
Paris, of August Ist, the account which is Civ
en- of his eXperiment.--N Y. Ere Post
The press of Paris and the department has
been Justly agi,ated by the many articles con-
tanned in an evening paper on new machine for
navigating the air. The explanatory letters of
two different inventors NJ. Diego, of Salamanca,
and NJ. Thomas dArville, a native of France
have impaired new interest to this astonishing in
vention.
All the Academies Of science, and the vari-
Gus Schools of Arts and Trades in Europe have
been vehementy moved as the press, and pur-
sue, at this moment, with the gravest interest,
the experiments making both at Paris and Mad
rid.
Before undertaking to decide upon the respec-
tive merits of the Diego and d'Aryille systems,
we wished 10 be present at practical trial. An
opportunity was accorded to us by MIR dAryille
tter many successive relusas, by his consent
ing to make experiment before several mem
