five or six years was made dut a day

has been paid over in dividends to
her owners. The boat is still run

YOUNG AMERICA.-The London Nom
ing Adrertiser, in commenting on the case
of kosta, bestows the following glowing
compliment to our country:
"foung America sets examples to Old
England which it were well to initiate
The United States though in her infancy
as compared with the nations of Europe
not only possesses greater vigor than any
other country under the sun, but, having
the giants strength, the Republic knows
how to WELD it for her own interest and
her own honor. America is no craven
country. She has courage, and she knows
when and how to display it. No power
will insult her with impunity. She has
not only quick perception of what is an
atfront, but she loses not moment in re-
senting it. We have just had proof of
the power and pluck of America, which
has astonished the Courts of Europe: and
which, being afforded at this particular
moment, ought to make this country hide
its head for very shame at the contrast
which ITS conduct, when insulted by the
Gar, exhibits to the world"

q Galignani' Messenger says: a
balloon ascent took place recently at
MOnt-de- -Marsan, a young woman of q
years of age, named Emma Verdier, the
daughter Of gardener, being the eronaut.
The balloon rose most evenly and majes-
tically, and as the weather was perfectly
calm, no apprehensions were entertained
of any accident. The next day, however,
the inhabitants were much shocked at
learning that the young woman had fall
len to the ground in about two hours and
half after her ascent at Montesquieu,
village sixty miles distant, and was killed
on the spot. From what was afterwards
ascertained, it appeared that some hay
makers near Montesquieu were startled
at seeing a white body fall to the earth
short distance from them. They found
it to be the body of young woman
dressed in white. She had fallen head
foremost, and her skull was split open.
AT no great distance was to be seen the
anchor Of the balloon fixed in an oak,
long piece of rope being attached to the
iron."
