A EulI0On with a. House Alta ckcd.
The Paris correspondent of til" New York
World gives the following accoun: Of an at
tempt a, Urial navigation on IL grand scale:
The Partisan love OF spcctaclcs was giaiificd
to an extraordinary degree on Sunday last,
by tho ascension of Madras halloon the Giant.
The time for the ascension was o'clock, but
from IL o'clock crowds fockcd from all quar-
tcrs of Paris TO the Champs dc Mars and the
Trocadcro, the heights on tho opposite sid. OF
the Seine, to witness the imitation. Nadar has
written of late u series of articles and has made
number OF experiments to prove that his dear
screw, (as he calls i,) attached to a body
heavier than the air, is TO bc the means of acri-
al locomotion; and tho greater portion of the
crowd. amounting TO more than 200 per-
sons, expected to sec the balloon stored like u
ship in the air, and were consequently d.sap-
pointed.
The balloon held moro than G,oOO cubic
meters Of gas, and is the largest ever sue cssfnl-
ly filed Na'lar states that the only one of
equal sizc-"Ihc City of New York"-cxp.ud-
cd in the process of initiation. The balloon
itself was nothing mere than very large and
well proportioncd balloon. Tile ho"se-an i'm
mcnsc structure of willow-in which the adj
vcnturous travellers were to occupy during their
flight, was the great curiosity. 1t consists of
two stories, with sleeping rooms and dining
room, and was hung around with Il variety Of
provisions, guns, and two large wheels, which
were intended to transport it after its descent
Thirteen persons in all made the ascent, among
them one lady, the Princess dc la Tour d An
vorgn, who, while driving ont III the afternoon
was attracted hy the sight of the crowds all
flowing in one dir, ction, asked her coarhman
the cause of the comm"tion, followed the stream,
and upon arriving upon the grornd, was $, izcd
with sudden desire t" G" up with the party.
Nadr positively refused a, first, but The prin-
cess would not he said "nny,' gained her point
and her name will hc on the list of the pioneers
in aerial navigation in nlI fiji, urc time. All ar
rangcmcnts were made for voyage of several
days, but an accident to the rope attached To
the valve, when they had been onIv fonr hours
in the air, caused IL sudden and rapil descent,
which, according To the McSSrS. OOiard, Tic
we'll known nronants, who were of the party.
would have proved as disastrous as that OF
Icarns, if it had occurred little later as the
wind was driving them to the sea. As it WAS
there was only the shock Of the f, to support.
which aIl bore very well although the wicker
house WAS dragged more than a quarter Ola
mile before the motion was entirely checked.
This accident has Ivy no means dis outraged Ma
dir who announces another ascension. lie
hopes by charging certain sum to tho in"'r
circle near the balloon, to rcaIizc sum snlii-
cicnt to have the machine which he has invent
cd constructed and to bc the frs. to really
