But Wise and Donaldson are said to have no fears of such an event, and are confident that from eighty to one hundred hours' travel will laud them on the shores of Eu rope. It was at first Contemplated that there should be nine passenger!, but when -the lifting power of the balloon was' tested it was found to be three thousand pounds less -than was- calculated; consequently two thousand pounds of ballast was dis-, penned with, and -the passenger list con fined to the four named.

Providence Hospital; where he had been taken when stricken with paralysis a few days ago. For many years he had been shabby in appearance, and his art of begging has not been lucrative. He has occupied a miserable room and been partially cared for by an old negro wa man. His life here has been without a parallel. The son• of Dr. Hickman, a man of wealth of King William county, Va., he was left at his father's death a moder ate competency, which, with other pecu niary aid given by his relatives, he soon dissipated, and he was cast off by his friends. He came to this city in 1845, and eked out existence with the little money he brought with him, and systematic "spong ing" upon all who would submit. A gen teel appearance, some insight into the de tails of the "sporting world," with a glib tongue, and the most insinuating impu dence, at first served his purpose, and ob tained for him the reputation out of which he afterwards made his living, for no one resented his approaches, and nearly all the habitues of the hotels paid tribute to him. At first his "account," as he called his levies upon people ,on whom he spong ed, ranged as high as twenty dollars. Of late years they were seldom over ten cts. —lVaahington Correvond. at Baltimore Sun, Sept. 2. de - The quiet neighborhood of St. Paul's Street, aboxe Saratoga, Baltimore, was the scene of a terrible tragedy on Thurs day night a week.

The wound inflicted on his wife was a terrible one, commenc ing on the left side of the throat, cutting through the carotid artery and jugular vein. The parlor in which the tragedy was committed p;•esented a dreadful scene. Showalter is a physician, but has been prevented by his intemperate habits from the pursuit of his profession. He is re spectably connected in Alabama, but had been discarded by his father on 'account of his habits. His bad behavior had re cently forced his wife to have him arrest ed, and but few hours before the murder she had threatened to again give him in to the custody of the police.
