THE BALLOON TOT1GE,


The Graphic calls the attention of naviga-
tors and all having command of vessels which
may leave American ports during the coming
month, to the fact that it is intended that the
transatlantic balloon expedition of Professor
Wise and Mr.. W. II. Donaldson shall leave
the city of New York, for Europe, on some
day late in August or early in September
which will hereafter be definitely announced
The balloon will carry two life boats, and
every part of the apparatus that is capable OF
being detached will be legibly inscribed with
the words, 1.-THE Daily Graphic" Mariners
are requested, in case any articles SO marked
are picked up by them, to ascertain the local
ity where found, that all necessary particulars
may be published,
During the progress of the balloon, the
aeronauts will occasionally throw over in the
nighttime torpedoes, which will explode on
striking the water, for the purpose fmarking
the direction they are traversing. In case
the balloon gives out before it reaches land,
the passengers viii have recourse to the
boats, in which emergency, it is hoped, they
may be seen and rescued by any vessel pass
ing near.

The dispatches which passed between Sec
retary Fish and Gca. Sickles, concerning the
resignation Of tie latter as Minister to SPAIN
have been made public. The correspondent OF
one of the New York papers is primarily re-
sponsible for Gen. Sickes' resignation. This
gentleman telcgraphed to the effect that the
Government was dissatisfied with Gen. Sickles'
course at Madrid. Gen. S. was advised of the
publication Of this dispatch, and rendered his
resignation. Secretary Fish answered, asking
him to withdraw his off," to resign, and assur-
ing him that there was no truth whatever In
the publication which he cited as evidence that
th,. Government wished him to retire. When
the Virginus affair was settled the tender OF
the resignation was renewed, and it was ac-
capted.

received his formal instructions from the gov
crnmcnt, although from his constant intercourse
with the President and Secretary of State the
whole question Of the Virginius and the other
matters have been fully considered. MIR. Cush-
lug Indicates that he is fully sensible of the
difficult and delicate mission which he has IN
dcrtakcn He is of the opinion that our sue
cess in finally settling the Virginlus question
satisfactorily depends in great degree upon
the ability of the Castelar, government to main-
tain itself in power.
