A Remarkable Balloon Ascent.

Henry Coxwell, an English a~eronant,
who has been travelling in the air for the
last thirty years, sends an account to
the London Times of a %curisus trip he
made on July 18th. One sentence of
his letter confirms in a remarkable man
ner some comments made in this paper
IN the influence Of public excitement
upon the Judgment of a balloonist, The
weather was bad and threatening, but,
says Mr.. Coxwell, "a .public ascent hav-
ing been announced from the Crystal
Palace with my balloon, City OF York, L
was determined, Notwithstanding meteor
illogical difficulties, to carry it out"
The balloon soon assembled into misty
clouds, where the fluctuations of barom-
etric pressure and temperature were
most capricious. After the balloon had
been up two hours and a half Mr.. Cox
well determined to descend, and found
himself directly over the Crystal Palace,
which be had left two hours and a half
before. For fear Of causing a rush of
people through the gardens, which
injure the flower beds, be kept the ball
loon up awhile and finally struck a.light
breeze, which carried him half a mile
from the Palace, where he descended.
On former occasions Mr.. Coxwell has
travelled at the rate OF a mile a minute
in an air line, and once made the run
from Woolwieh to Tavistock, a distance
Of 200 miles, in FIVE hours,

WADDY THOMPSON.
The Prisoner Admitted to Hail.

The Prisoner Admitted 10 Hail.
To-day the attorneys on behalf of the
State and of Waddy Thompson met at
the Sheriff's Office to arrange the ques
ton of bail. The bail fixed by Judge
Flippin, of the Criminal Court, was So
600, which the defendant was unable to
give. Upon application to Judge Trigg,
of the United States Court, for a writ of
habeas corpus, Judge Trigg promised to
be here on the 18th to hear the case, but
yesterday he telegraphed that he had or
dered the United States Marshal to re.
ceiye the prisoner from the custody Of
the Sheriff, and to admit him to bail in
the sum of $4,000, to appear at Bristol,
East Tennessee, on Friday next, when
the habeas corpus case would be argued
and determined. This change being in
convenient to all parties, it was agreed
upon this morning that Waddy Thomp-
son should give a bond in FIVE thousand
dollars to the Sheriff, to appear at the
next term (November) of the Criminal
Court. In September next the habeas
corpus branch Of the case will probably
be heard in the United States Court.
This being settled and a good bond being
given, the prisoner was set at liberty.
