From the San, Francisco Transcript OF 3oth,
p Two or three hundred people assembled at
Oakland yesterday, totwitness "Mr. Kelly, nc.
companied by q lady, leave terra t,ma for the
upper regions" as advertised After the bal
loon was inflated, the lady who was to take the
trip with Mr.. Kelly was not to be found. Mr..
Kelly therefore seated himself in the car, waived
his adieu to the crowd, and attempted to take
his flight but it was no go. The "California"
dragged and Numbered over the ground for
1000 or 1900 feet, when it was caught and Sc
cured. The sand bags were then thrown out Of
the car, and another man placed in it, and
second attempt to ascend was made, with like
effect. The car was then detached from the
balloon, and common red wood board was tied
to the ropes At this stage Of the proceedings,
a ladof about ! 6 years of age--an orange andnut
vender--volunteered to make the ascension. In
less than three minutes, he was placed astride
of the board and making a rapid flight towards
the clouds. When about one hundred and fifty
feet up, he attempted TO let off the gas to de
scend, but the valve would not work, and i'm
mediately the balloon rose above the clouds to
the height of about three miles, and disappeared
in the direction of Carquinez Straits. F.

From GUATEMALA we have dates to July
22d. The Guatemalian papers give an official
document that narrates an account of the pur
suit of the enemy, Honduras, (which, in sub
stance, we have, stated beforehand also of
second rout which the Hondurans suffered on
18th Of July, from the Guatemalians under
Gen. Carera Granados.
The latter general, in his dispatch, states
that he overthrow 1000 Of the enemy fortified
in a strong place, and having two pieces of ar.
tilery. His force he says, was only 900 men,
his reserve Of 1000 men not entering into the
action. Over 100 Of the enemy were killed,
and he lost six.
I, Gen. Carrera, though thus victorious, resolved
~ cNdcudte IlOniuTuSy sAilu W COHCcHtIate HIS
troops in Guatemala, contentng himself with
garrison in the department of Chiquilnula.
1t is believed he was disinclned tounite the Hon
duras by an invasion of their country, and that
the best way to keepup dissenson there, was,
to keep out Of it himself Gen. Carrera thus
holds out that the real enemy of Honduras is
in Honduras itself. aat
From NICARAGUA, the news is of no local
importance. The government of Honduras
has accepted mediation which Nicaragua has
offered between her and Guatemala. ayl7 .sa.
