Naw ICUSIL. Oct 27.—1 t stir retreating
to talk with Lowe, the big balloon man.
Ifs is perfectly sure of crossing the ocean in
safety. Much sublime confidence in tmid(
breeds it in others ; and all who have ever
listened to !kw Professor's calm &acolytes
upon the possibilities of the thing, share
with him the belief that tie will achieve a
comfortable passage to Itirope 'Use alti •
tude of his flight be about three miles ; and
sflould he find the expected easterly current
flowing, steadily enough, anti the texture of
the balloon, and the operation, of the ma
chinery (for ascending and demo-titling with
out a waste bf gam) equal to his hopes, -the
daring wronaut will probably continue his
journey from his first landing place tit Eu
rope, and make the entire circuit of the globe
by a senes of flights, lauding eventually cii
the American seaboard The principal bat k
er of the enterprise, Mr Gilbert, a driving
young business man in Utica, 111 this State,
is wholly confident in the suceewful reyitit
of the grand experiment. fle offers the
best proof of his faith by investing a large
sum of money in a shape on which the in
surance companies will take no amount of
preudun. His only hope of muuneration is
in the twenty-five cents patronage of the
fickle public, for the securing of which he
has obtained from the COll/1121011 Council the
free use of the Crystal Palace Square, fenced
it in, and will theme exhi lilt the balldon and
all the mechanical apparatus and parapher
nalia, for about a foi yiglit before the exeur
sion. Should the trip be made as safely and
expeditiously (thirty-six or forty-eight hours)
as he expects, he may, with the coutinued
co-'operation of Lowe, attempt to establish a
regular balloon express kletweeu this country
and Europa, fee the purpose of taking out
orders, and other important business paper
from our merchants, and doing, in fact, the
same class of work which the Atlantib Tele
graph was intended to perform, and for
whioh life merchants of New York could af
ford to pay handsomely. An 'order upon a
European house for goods, sent over eight or
ten days in advance of the steamer might be
worth thousands of dollars to a liege dealer
at I particular state of the market. The
ef prose charges will be paid only on proof
of delivery. Of course lhe balloon will have
to be sent back by steamer, as no regularly
westerly current has yet been discovered.—
Mr. Lowe's accompanying party of six per
sous is said to be made up, but he keeps
their names to himself, I saw a young fel
low at the Crystal Palace Square, the other
day, anxiously hunting after the wronaut, to
offer him $125 fbr one seat in the car. Al
though Mt. Gilbert is appposed to be the
principal capitalist of the enterprise, several
other smart operators have a financial finger
in it- - among them Benjatbin and Henry
-Wood, brothers of ]Fernando. Fernando him
41f is investing, sot half so wisely, in the
tozart Hall organization, with the Idea- of
being elected Mayor.

Washington Irving, at a party in England,
one day pleylully asserted, that the love of
annexation a loth the Anglo Saxon race
displayed on every occasion, proceeds prob
ably from-its mauratse nettle rather than its
greediness. As a proof, he cited the story
of a bashful friend of his, who, being bilked
to a dinner party, sat down to the table next
to the hostess in a groat state of excitementt
owing to his reclean life. A few glasses of
wine mounting to his brain, completed his
confusion, and dissipated the small remains
of Ins presence of mind. Casting hia eyes
down he saw on Ins lap some white linen.
•' My Heavens," thought he, " that's my
shirt protruding at my waistband." He
immediately commenced to tuck In the of
fending portion of his dress, but the more
he tuckedrin, the more there seemed. to re
main. At last he made a desperate effort,
when a sudden crash around, and a scream
from the company, brought him to his senses.
He had been all the time stuffing the table
cloth Into his breeches, and the" last time
had swept everything clean oft the table.—
Thus our bashful friend annexed a table
cloth,
thinking it his own shirt.

Union of a Man and Wife after a Sep-

A man and wife have recently been united
in lowa, after a separation of forty-seven
years. Mrs. Crull roce . ntly applied for a
bounty land warrant, as a reward for the
service of her husband during the war of
1812. Ile had enlisted while on a visit to
Philadelphia, and was reported to have been
killed in an engagement near Lake Cham
plain. -Messrs. Shepard . 1 Overton, of Bur

Mr. Crull himself had entered • land war

and it was eventually shown that he was
living in Jefferson county, New York. The

Crull, finding it difficult to support herself
and her two small.. children, ono a babe, re
moved to another part of thit State, and
there hearing that her husband was killed,
made no further effort to loam of bim, And
he, after his discharge, returned to the town
where he formerly resided, and was there
told that his wife and children had moved
away, *no since died. Believing himself
alone in the world. ho left forever his old
residents and assobtates, and took up his
abode in Jefferson county, New York, where
he has since resided, ever cherishing in fond
remembrance his now, to him: forever lost

daughter, Mrs. Crull in company with her
son audition-in-law, moved to this State, and
settled in Wappollo, Louisa oonnty, where
she has since resided in the family of her
daughter. A few days since, - Mr. Crull ar
rived in Wappollo, eager to see her whom he
had mourned as dead, and once again behold
