such manner, testify the deep feeling

reasonably look for liberal receipts Of

there is but little to come, will be in mea L.

ton Of the cotton trade, in this country,
is measurably in consequence of the re.

heavier than was anticipated, and also
from the very slight advance in prices in
Europe which followed the declaration Of

A Perilous Balloon Descent.

The Havana correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune writes on the
23d ult.:
"Mr. GODDARD made his grand ascent
last Sunday, accompanied by no less
than five young gentlemen, among
whom | noticed Mr.. Perez, who is
styled the king of Awning-makers.'
just at the appointed time a heavy
shower commenced falling and the sky
looked very black and overcast. The
public however, insisted on Godards
starting, and the lines were cut loose.
He was soon lost sight of behind the
dense black clouds, and, as the wind
was blowing pretty fresh from the
northwest, the balloon crossed the bay
south of Regla, and descended about
nine miles from Havana. The intre-
pid Hronaut and his passengers came
near loosing their lives. The valve
got out of order, and, when GODDARD
attempted to let the gas escape, ne
found he could not open the valve
He Immediately informed his compan-
ions of the nature of the danger in
which they were all placed, and pro-
posed two alternatives--either to con-
tinue in the clouds and wait for the
condensation of the gas, and make a
descent by night, exposed to all the
dangers of so perilous an undertaking
in an unknown place, or tear the bal
loon, and make an immediate, rapid,
and equally dangerous one. The pass
engers chose the latter, and the bal
loon was Immediately torn. Every,
body thought they were all killed, fol
the fall was very rapid. The balloon
struck a palm tree and rebounded
about two hundred yards. One of the
young men--Louis Zayas, was badly
injured in the fall, and Mr.. Perez had
his leg broken. The others received
some slight bruises, but returned tc
the city o o'clock p. m. The Campo
de Marie was crowded with pedestri.
ans and volantes. Among the ladies
there was one who seemed very much
affected. | suppose her lover wa:
