little better than it was week ago. The market yes

cattle yarded were sold-saes closing early with good
supply of all sorts but the best for the market to-day
We expect sales drag somewhat aferihe fashion

The quality of cattle ysrded yesterday, we judged,
would correspond with that of last week. There is

PRor. LOWS AERIAL VorAGEs-Two AscES-
sIoss-HIs SAFE REIURs.-The journals of yes
terday morning announced in their most emphatic
type. that Prof. Lowe, the Observation-Disclosures
heAtlautc-in-a-baoon would as
cend from the Crystal Palace Grounds at 3 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, in smaller balloon, for the pur-
pose of making certain meteorological observations,
which might be of exceedingly great use in the trans
atlantic balloon voyage that Prof Lowe proposes soon
to undertake. The name of the small balloon in which
the Professor proposed to rise is the Pioneer, which
machine was on the spot and inflated to the utmost de-
sirable extent early as q P. m. An audience of
some 200 or 600 people assembled at the appointed
SPOT to see the first ascent from New-fork of the
daring aeronaut. At | O'Clock p. m. Prof Lowe
appeared on the grounds and assumed the direction Of
all the arrangements. The balloon Pioneer (which
holds about IS, 900 cubic feet of gas and which
made by Professor loves wife, with a view 10 max
ing an ascension HERSELF was brought to The appointed
place, and the imitation was commenced at an early
hour in order that no delay might occur AT p P. m,
the globe was filed and the crowd were most uproari-
Gus in their demonstrations of delight and Impotence
At precisely p. M, the Professor began the final
preparation for start into the ETHEREAL realms known
better him. perhaps, than to most of the ooSers-on
At the last minute, Mr. loves wife, pleasng-look-
ing dark haired darkeyed French lady, appeared on
the scene, bearing in her arms his child, boy OF
about two years old. Mr.. Lowe kissed them
both fondly, and all having been prepared,
he gave the word to start. At precisely
fourteen minutes past three the rope was cut and the
balloon assembled
Professor was as cool and selfpossessed if he had
been taking his seat in stage coach of the most
ancient patentsafey pattern. The last that was seen
of him he eating an apple, and waving alter
nately his hat, and the American flag. Just before
stepping into the basket he took off his ordinary
coat. and put on a bearskn coat, which was recently
presented to him. also hinge bearskin cap. Then the
word was given 20 let go, and the balloon rose in
/. -. 80 tor, III nd
feet. when it began to sail away in direct eastery
course. In about ten minutes, however, the balloon
probably having reached greater altitude, another cur
rent of air seized it, and bore it in direction nearly
northeast. When last seen from the Park Observa-
tory at Eighty-sxth street. it appeared TO be coming
down in the vicinity of White Plains or Tarrytown.
AT o'clock last evening we heard from Professor
Lowe who reached this city after his perous voyage
and after an adventure so, not dangerous but inter-
esting att o'clock. The account ofthe trip, as given
by Mr. Lowe himself, is follows: He left the Crys-
tai Palace grounds at 1920 his watch differed few
minutes from that of our reporters in five minutes ne
had attained altitude of half mile, whence he had
a splendid view of Manhattan Island, Long Island,
New-Jersey and in the northern distance, Connecticut
The thermometer which stood 49, at starting, fell
at this hight 10 30o. The balloon first took direction
nearly East, when the Professor, finding that sail in
this direction continued for any great length OF time,
would carry him ont to sea- applied himseto the valve
rome and discharged a sufficient quantity OF gas to
bring him down into under current Of air running IN
direction nearly northeast. He kept the Pioneer
in this favorable gale unl he had been borne
inland 80 far that danger to be be appre-
bended from :he water when he resolved to return to
earth again. The discharge Of few cubic feet OF gas
was sufficient TO effect this desirable sonsummation,
and in four minutes from the time the valyeape was
snnealed TO- the balloon rested on the ground; 20

Sd. Of the people who constitute the population OF
that rural precinct congregated TO welcome the dariag
voysQer At least 500 persons assembled on the spot
where the balloon just touched the earth, and Mr..
Lowe was welcomed with huge quantities of cheer
ing. AT precisely o'clock the balloon settled
onietly TO the ground al West Farms on the
land of Mr.. Parker, of Gas Company celebrity The
crowd was most enthusiastic, much 20 that the ae-
eommodating Professor, willing TO crafty their lnno-
cent and landable curiosity resolved to make second
ascension for their especial benefit. Accordingly, nav

health Of the assembled multitude, be hove out about
ten or twenty pounds of sand, and away ne went
again, having remained with his friends at West
Farms some fifteen minutes. On the second ascension

altitude than he had attained on his first ascension
He was saluted by the whistles of rnultltudnous
steamboats, and of several rail-trains. Remaining
in the air about twenty minutes he descended on the
