THE San Franciscans had recent sc n

by one Auguste Burlaze. The eronaut
was carried over the waters of the bay,
where his balloon suddenly collapsed and
he fell into the water. Fortunately, he
was an expert swimmer, and was saved
by boat sent out for his rescue. The
entire proceeding was witnessed with in.
tense excitement by the assembled thous--

solved to support the Cuptan-General of Cuba in bis
efforts to put down slave.trading Estates in that
island are to be visited by officers appointed
for the purpose. and all newly introduced
Africans are to be summary set free. More than
hsas another proof that Spain is at length about to
