The Balloon Story Hoax,
F The Hew York Sun of Saturday before last pub•
lishes a'. postscript containing quite a startling an.
nouncoment, thus--
We stop the press at a late hour, to announce
that, by a private express from Charleston, S. C.,
we are just put in possession of full details of the
most extraordinary adventure ever accomplished by
man. The Atlantic has been actually traversed in
a. balloon, and in the incredibly brief period of
three days Eight persons have crossed is the
machine—among others Sir Everard Bririghurst and
Mr. Monck Mason. We have barely limo now to
announce this most novel and unexpected intelli
gence; but we hope by 10 this morning to have
ready an extra with a detailed account of the voy.
age.
At 10 o'clock an extra was issued from the office
of the same paper, containing the pretended details
to the extent of nearly five columns. In order
that otir readers may decide as to the plausibility of
the story, we give a few extracts.
Arrir a! Sullivan's Island. near Charleston, S.
rf Mr. Mason. Mr. Robert Holland, Mr.
Henson, Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, and four
ollrrs, in the steering balloon "Victoria," after
a passage of .etrenty•five hours from land to
land. Fall particulars of the Voyage.
. . . .
The great problem is at length solved' The air,
as well as the earth and the ocean, has been subdu
ed by Science, and will become a common and
convenient highwayl for mankind. The Atlantic
has been actually crossed its a Balloon; and this
too without difficulty—without any great apparent
danger—with thorough control of the machine—
and in the inconceivably brief period of seventy-five
hours from shore to shore! By the energy of an
agent at Charleston, S. C., we are enabled to be the
first to f.irnish the public with a detailed account of
this most extraordinary voyage, which was perfor
med betwcm 3.rr urday, lith inst., at 11 A. M., and
3 P. M en I'nes.lay, 9th inst.: by Sir Evemrd
Bringhurst ; Mr. Osborne, a nephew of Lord Ben
tinck's ; Mr. Monck Mason and Robert Boland, the
well known reronauts; Mr. Harrison Ainsworth,
author of Jack Sheppard, &c.; and Mr. Henson,
the projector of the late unsuccessful flying ma
chine—w:tii two seamen from Woolwich—in all
eight persons. The particulars furnished below
easy be relild on as authentic and accurate in every
respect, as, with slight exception, they are copied
verbatim from the joint diaries of Mr. Monck Ma
son and Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, to whose polite
ness our agent is also indebted for much verbal in
formation respecting the balloon itself, its construc
tion, and other matters of interest. The only alter
ation in the MS. received has been made for the
purpose of throwing the hurried account of our
agent, Mr. Forsyth, in a connected and intelligible
form
Here follow the manufactured particulars of the
inflation, ttarting and voyage:
The inflation was commenced very quietly at
daybreak, on Saturday morning, the 6th inst., in the
Court-house of Wheal-Vor House, Mr. Osborne's
seat, about a mile from Penstruthal, in North Wales;
and at 7 minutes past 11, everything being ready
for departure; the balloon was set free, rising gently
but steadily, in a direction nearly South; no use
being made for the &at half hour, of either the
screw or the rudder.
After they "got up," this scene occurred.
At half past eleven, still proceeding nearly South,
we obtained our first view of the Bristol Channel;
and, in fifteen minutes afterwards, the line of break
ers on the coast appeared immediately beneath us,
and we were fairly out at sea. We now resolved
to let off gas enough to bring our guide-rope, with
the buoys affixed, into the water. This was imme
diately done, and we commenced a gradual descent.
In about 20 minutes our first buoy dipped, and at
the touch of the second soon afterwards, we re
mained stationary as to elevation. We were all
now anxious to test the efficiency of the rudder and
screw, and we put them into requisition forthwith,
for the purpose of altering our direction more to
the eastward, and in a line for Paris. By means of
the rudder we instantly effected the necessary change
of direction, and our course was brought nearly at
right angles to that of the wind; when we set in
motion the spring of the screw, and were rejoiced to
find it propel us as readily as desired. Upon this
we gave nine hearty cheers. and dropped in the sea
a bottle, enclosing a slip of parchment with a brief
account of the principle of the invention. Hardly,
however, had we done wills our rejoicings, when an
unforseen accident occurred, which discouraged us
in no little degree.
The steel rod connecting the spring with the pro
peller was suddenly jerked out of place, at the car
end, (by a swaying of the car through some move
ment of one of the two seamen eve had taken up,)
and in an instant hung dangling out of reach, from
the pivot of the axis of the screw. While we
were endeavoring to regain it, our attention being
completely absorbed, we become involved in a stiong
current of wind from the East, which bore us, with
rapidly increasing force, towards the Atlantic. We
soon found ourselves driving out to sea, at the rate
of not less, certainly, than 50 or 60 miles an hour,
so that we came up with Cape Clear, at some 40
miles to our North, before we had secured the rod,
and had time to think what we were about. It was
now that Mr. Ainsworth made an extraordinary, but
to my fancy, a by no means unreasonable or chi
merical proposition, in which he was instantly se
conded by Mr. Holland—viz. that we should take
advantage of the strong gale which bore us on, and
in place of heating back to Pans, made an attempt
to reach the coast of North America. After slight
reflection I gave a willing assent to this bold prop
osition, which (strange to say) met with objection
from the two seamen only. Aa the stronger party,
however, we overrule their fears, and kept resolute
ly upon our course. We steered due West.
Their coining down is thus described
P. S. [By Mr. Ainsworth.] It is now 2A. Me
and nearly calm, as well as I can judge—but it is
very difficult to determine this point, since we move
with the air so completely. The vanes are work
ing admirably. I have not slept since quitting
Wheal-Vor, but can stand it no longer, and must
take a nap. We cannot be far from the American
coast.
Tuesday the oth, [Mr. Ainsworlh's M. S.] One
P. M. We are in full view of the low coast of
South Carolina. Tho great problem is accomplish
ed. We have crossed the Atlantic--fairly and
easily crossed it in a balloon ! God be praised !
Who shall say that anything is impossible hereaf
ter?
The Journcl here ceases. Some particulars of
the descent were communicated, however, by Mr.
Ainsworth to Mr. Forsyth. It Was nearly dead
calm when the voyagers first camein view of the
coast, which was immediately recognised by both
the seamen, and by Mr. Osborne. The latter gen
tlemen having acquaintances at Fort Moultrie, it
was immediately resolved to descend in its vicinity.
The balloon was brought over the beach (the tide
being out and the sand hard, smooth° and admira
bly adapted for a (I. , scont,) and the grapnel let go,
which took firm bold at once. The inhabitants of
the Island, and of the Fort, thronged out, of course,
to see the balloon; but it was with the greatest diffi
culty that any one could be made to credit the ac
tual voyage—the crossing of the Atlantic. The
grapnel caught at 2 P. M. precisely; and thus the
whole voyage was completed in 75 hours ; or rather
less, counting from shore to shore. No real danger
wns at any time apprehended. The balloon was
exhausted and secured without trouble and when
the MS. from which this narrative is compiled was
' despatched from Charleston, the party were still at
Fort Moultrie. Their farther intentions were not
ascertained : but we can safely promise our readers
some additional information either on Monday or in
the course of the next day, et farthest.
" Very like a whale." The Sun, it will be re
membered, originally published the celebrated Moon
Story Hoax. The foregoing is probably from the
same pen.
Oneida Stone
There is a goodly sized stone among the Oneidas,
which they regard as their "palladium,' they believe
that it has removed of itself wherever their tribe has
removed, and that so long as that stone is among
them they will be preserved as a distinct people.—
N. Y. ann. Adv.
And the Oneidas, poor fellows, will probably have
their faith strongthend. Some white agent, to show
them that it does not remove of itself, will carry off
their " talisman," arid place in its stead the jog and
glass, and before their pestiferous influences, the
tribe will waste away, like a wreath of morning fog;
and the last of the race will mourn over the desaola
tion of his people and sigh for the time when the
munition of rocks was their defence.
What a lesson might ono adduce from the imagi
ginary virtue of the " Oneida Stone!" Who has
it not? What nation, society, family, or individu
al, has not some object to which it so steadily
imputes a virtue that, like the steel resting very
near the loadstone, it becomes posessed of some of
its qualities—at least, it produces some of the effects?
We treasure up the fame of a departed friend, and
erect him in our heart as an example of moral worth
and social honor; and while the imago is allowed
to stand, it seems to cause in us a portion of the
virtue it is meant to commemorate. What an ach
ing void is produced when the image is unniched !
how fondly the young wife clings to the object
of youthful affection, and hangs around its shrine
the votive power of her heart's best offering ! To
equal him, she schools her yet immature graces,
and warms them to riper virtues; she seeks to mould
her qualities to his, and make them take as much
of manly form as suits her womanly condition.—
She loves to stand, and gaze upward at the object.
No delicate heart can give its earthly adoration to
any object, prostrate, prone. She does not believe
that what she loves is faultlese, but she thinks the
errors, even those which thwart her plans, and serve
. to war her peace, are fruits of unfriendly intercourse
abroud, the natural consequences of necessary colli
sions with the world. While his heart, however, is
here—while faith is unbroken, womanly pride over.
looks the offence, and the wife's confidence builds
hopes of improvement. She feels that wherever
she 'goes, the true talisman follows of itself; and
while that is there, the final, paramount affection,
all is safe. But if a stranger hand remove that ob
ject—if the sense of personal preference is gone, all
is gone, all is lost. The palladium that was deemed
" Heaven descended," is removed, and more than
Ilium, or Oneida, is swept away. A woman's con
fidence is priceless.
All, we repeat it, have this object. All see
something, and invest it with virtues, which serve
them for models to imitate, or, at least, beauties to
adorn. They gaze upward to the consecrated ob
jects with affectionate awe, as we look at beautiful
painting on the ceiling of a church, where the
place increases the sense of sanctity and hallows the
emotion which the images create. Something may
remove them from our veneration, rudely tear them
from their place, and we gaze then on vacancy.—
Perhaps, (who shall tell ?) perhaps we gaze upward
through the places they have occupied, upward and
above, and see through the chinks whence they
were rudely torn, the blue Heaven, and understand
that short of that, though we may admire, we must
not trust. The true palladium is beyond the blue
we sec, and that the atone of our confidence rests
changeless above the stars. This shall teach us
that these enshrined things, which made our plea
sure here, serve but to
"Dim our sight, and to shorten our survey."

REMARKS
Mr. M'Williams, of lXuntingdon,
On the Bill for the sale of the Public Int•
provements, made in the House of Rep•
resentalives on the Bth April, 1844.
Mr. 111'111LLIAMS rose add said:
Mr. Speaker 1 have occupied but little of
the time of this House in the disscussion
of the financial affairs of State, and, not
withstanding a voice from my constitu
ents has admonished me regarding it I
have thought my economy of the time of
the House more valuable to the commu
nity than any thing I could probably say.
But having lung been of the opinion,
that there is no probability, I had almost
said possibility, of paying our State debt
whilst we hold the public works, and
knowing well as 1 do, that it is the wish
of my constituents that they should be
sold as soon as possible, I deem it proper,
and due alike to them and myself, to take
up a few minutes at this time, in giving
my reasons tor sustaining the amendment
()fired by the gentleman from Franklin
(Mr. Carson) to fix the lowest price at
eighteen millions of dollars. It is propo
sed iu this bill to unite the two measures
of a sale of the public works and taxation
to pay the interest on our debt. The
danger to be guarded against is, that
should the bill become a law, the works
may not be sold if the price is fixed too
high, though the provisions for taxation
would go into full force and' affect at all
events. Now the whole object of the bill
was to redeem the faith and credit of the
State, but it must be obvious to members'
that if you fix the lowest slim for winch
they may be sold at twenty millions, and
lay a tax, &c. highs enough to raise the
State Stock to par, the object of this bill
will be defeated. 'Fax the people freely
0 you sell the pUblic works, and they
will pay it without a murmur. But wring
from them a tax to the amount of about
$8,000,000, a sum equal to the interest
on the State debt, requiting them to pay
it year alter year, without diminishing the
principal hanginu , ' upon them like an incu
bus. and high asl esteem their honest in
tentions, 1 fea r they are not able to bear
it. In a word, sir, it we fix the minimum
price of the works at 520,000,000, they
probably will nut b.e sold—if not sold, the
people will not, cannot pay taxes—and
where then is the public credit and faith ?
The Canal Commissioners may tell us
that the public improvements yielded a
net profit last year to the amount of 55482,
657, 34. Those who choose may lay this
flattering unction to their souls, but I can
not: nor can fperceive that there is one
dollar clear profit, if you deduct all the i
tems with which our canals and railroads
are chargeable.
Sir, 1 would call the attention of this
House for a few minutes to this part of
the subject.
Take first the $9,481 31 stock put upon
the C'ilumbia Railroad, and charged to
the Commonwealth in order to swell the
amount of profit—then the Canal Com
missioners' salary—then one•fourth of the
expenses of Government making 1843,a
data (which is fair, because it is well
known, that for many years one•fourth
part of the labour atilt; Legislature, Tree
surer and Auditor General have been em
ployed in doing infernal improvements
business;) an equitable part of the $34,000
now about to be appropriated fur repairing
farm bridges, for last year, none at all
was given, and the consequence is a two
years appropriation at this time; the de
mands made and allowed by every Legis•
lature for work done and damages sus
tained on our canals and railroads, (and
by reference to executive documents you
will see that the list of these domestic
creditors, and the amount due them now is
$1,453.484 46, hearing interest, and is it
not fair that a part of this sum, not no•
ticed by the Canal Commissioners, should
be deducted from die net profit ? ) and
the last and greatest, the enormous sum
which will soon be required to prevent
the works from going into a state of del•
apidation.
%Mit, sir, is the condition of the . Co
lumbia Railroad at present? Is it not in
such a st,tte that the safety of passengers
carried upon it is very doubtful 1 if I am
correctly inforMerl, many parts of the.
rails are kept to their places by driving
sticks in the ground outside of the road ;
in many places the rails are worn out or
worn into splinters, and I believe it a fair
conclusion that before five years it will
require new railing, except in that portion
of it which has recently been laid, and laid,
at leastin part and that an important
part, on black oak saplings. Make a fair
estimate, sir of all these matters, and in
stead of the handsome sum of net profit
presented by the Commissioners to flatter
the community, I aril very doubtful wheth
er it cart be shown that the works have ev
er been one dollar of profit to the Treas
ury of the Commonwealth. If then, they
are of no profit' then just as long as we
hold on to the State works, we will have
an increase to the State debt of more
than two millions ofidollars annually by
the increaseing interest, not to say any
thing about that compound interest which
is beginning like a canker to eat out the
very vitals of our Government.
If we attend to the history of our pub-'
tic works as collected from the Auditor
General's Books, we find it to be the fact,
that since the commencement of the pub
lic improvements to the present time, in
dependent of the expense of construction
and interest on borrowed money, there is
a net loss of 8289,185, to which add (he
interest, and the result is a clear loss of
$16,456.231 81 1 Who can contend in
the face of such facts that our public im
provements are not worse than profitless,
or that they should not be sold as speedily
as possible? . .
A sale of our canals and rail roads is
due to ourselves in order that we lessen
our State debt by the amount which they
will bring, and in order that we may be
free from their contaminating influence in
politics. It is due to our creditors, suffer
aa many, of them are, that we should
give up to their use that upon which we
laid out their money, as long as we have
no other means of paying them. Admit-
Ong that we could pay the interest on our
State debt, I know not by what ingenuity
we could hope ever to pay the principal ;
we would be compelled to leave that res
ting upon the shoulders of succeeding gen
erations.
Nuw sir, I think it should be plain to eve.
ry inquiring mind, that it is better for us
to let a sale of these works be effected at
eighteen or even sixteen millions of dol
and as much more as they will bring in
market, than to fix the minimum price so
high that it will defeat the whole object
of this bill. Formy own part Inm afraid
to venture the prediction at this time that
if our public improvements are not sold,
before ten years roll round the people of
Pennsylvania, linden down with taxes as
they are likely to be, will rise in their maj•
esty and require thetr Representatives to
give them away, It is to avoid such a re
sult that 1 am willing at present to let
them go as lar as they will in redeeming
the reduced character of Pennsylvania,aud
in preventing that practical repudiation
which is creeping upAn us and with which
we are so frequently reproached. 1 hope
sir, the umendinent will prevail.
From the Y. Courier and Enquirer.
Later trom Europe,
The packet ship St. Nicholas, Captain
PELt, arrived last evening from Havre,
having left that port on the 18th of March.
Through the kindness of Capt. PELL we
have received the Havre papers of the
17th, and London dates of the I.s`.ll—six
days later from Havre, and two from
London.
The French Minister of Justice has ad
dressed a circular letter to the Prefects of
the DepartmentF, recommending full pro
tection to the Protestants wherever they
shall hold public worship. Obstacles have
heretofore been throw in their way.
The only subject of general interest in
the Paris journals, is the difference be
tween the Fur kish government and the
representatives of England and France,
who appear to be animated with one feel,
ing and one determination, in calling upon
Divan for a formal declaration that the
Christian world shall not again be outra
ged by the religious fanaticism of the
Turks.
The National says:—The Ambassadors
of France and England display in this
conjuncture a rare and laudable energy.
The Grand Vizin having recently invited
them, with the rest of the diplomatic bo
dy, to a grand dinner, M. de Bourqueccy
and Sir S. Canning refused to attend.—
The A bassadors of Prussia, Sardinia, and
Holland, acted with the same firmness;
they staid away on account of mourning.
The Russian Ambassador got himself rep.
resented by the chief Secretary of the
Embassy, and the Austrian Internuncio
thought fit to attend in person. This ex
ception does little honor to Rusia and
Austria, and, in addition, it is exceeding
ly inopportune, lug it gives the Divan
cause to suppose that Europe is not
unanimous in her reprobation, which idea
encourages the promoters of the reaction
to resistance. But whatever may be the
weakness of Austria, and the intrigues of
Russia, we indulge in the hope that the
Divan will be restrained by the perseve
rance of France and England in the cause
of humanity, and that the two powers, who
boast of marching at the bead or Christian
civilization, will not hesitate to reduce to
compliance, even by force, a degraded
government.
The report that a proposition for a re
duction of 5 per cent. would be laid before
the Chamber is contradicted ; the report
on the Budget will maintain, however,
the right of conversation, its advantages
and expediency.
Mr. J. H. Livingston, attached to the
Legation of the United States at Mad

General Bertrand, on his death-bed
charged his brother, M. L. Bertrand, to
present to the city.of Lyons a copy of the
campaigns of Italy, written by the emper
or at the Island of St. Helena. Napoleon
had two copies of these memoirs made,
one of which he gave to Gen. Bertrand. -
From England dates are to the 15th.—
It was rumored that the Emperior of Rus
sia intended to visit Great Britain. The
papers were discussing the probability of
his.meeting a cordial reception. it was
conjectured that his object might be to at
tempt a reconciliation with France.
hi the House of Commons, on the 14th,
Mr. B. Cochran called for the Diplomatic
documents relati we to the 'Airs of Greece.
Sir Robert Peel replied that he was wil
ling to produce some of these documents,
but that there were others of them which
he could not at present make known.

From Mad rid . we have dates to the 10th.
The Madrid journals contain no news,
unless we may consider as such a state
ment by the Castellano, that the Spanish
Government inteeds to send an expedi
tion of 42,000 men, under the command
of General Prim, against the Emperor of
Morocco, in order to avenge the murder
of the Spanish agent, which is said to have
been perpetrated by his orders.
There is no further notice of the conspi ,
racy at Madrid, so pompously announced
by the same journal. The account, there
fore, must have been much exaggerated,
even if it had any foundation.
poirrua AL:
The Diaro de Governa, the official jour
nal of Lisbon, of the 2d inst, contains
the following announcement :
The Count de Bonlini, op to the 27th
ult., still held out with the imurgent
troops at Almeida. The Viscount de
Foote Nova, and the Baron de Leira, with
the Queen's forces, occupied all the sur
rounding points. On the frontier side
there were two columns of Spanish troops,
under orders from Madrid, to support the
operations of the Viscount de Foote Nova.
1 he Diario represents that the rebels had
no other alternative than to retreat into
Spain, where they would be immediately
disarmed. At the same time, the author
ities of Traos Mantes, and the comman
ders of the Queen's troops, had taken
measures to' oppose the passage cif the
rebels across the Louru, to enter into
that province.
Intelligence from Stockholm has been re
ceived to the 4th inst. The King remain

little chance of amelioration.
We learn by the Brussels journals that
the Chamber of Representatives had voted
the Loan Bill by 52 votes to 2.
According to a letter from Saint Pe

Israelite farmer is to be exempt from the
conscription for ten years, and for fifty
years from taxition on the land which he
may own and cultivate himself with the

Every person who shall take into his
