Mr.. Wise. the celebrated aronaut, is
again endeavoring to obtain the necessary
funds TO effect a balloon trip 20 Eu-
rope. The idea that the Atlantic can be
successfully crossed in balloons. has long
been entertained, and few years ago,
it may be recollected. Mr.. Wise asked
Congress for small! donation 10 aid him
in the effort to accomplish it, which was
refused. The time estimated from New
York to Liverpool is 40 hours. which, if
accomplished would tend to bring Eng
lish and American shores upon more in
innate terms. American enterprise
knows no bounds. and Congress has spent
many thousands of dollars to less pur-
pose, than had the desired amount been
devoted to the establishment of Wise's
mail route across the Ocean in balloons.
