TEKMllLK BALLOON ASOKNSlo:
A correspondent of Purler's 8pirit t
the Times,'' tarnishes the following pai
tit ulars of a balloon ascension maido wit
Mons. Oodard, from Philadelphia, o
the 1st of November ult:
I was introduced to iny fellow passe i
gera ( five in number,) and at 3 minute
past lour the cords were cut, and we wer
off.
The day was cold for the season : ih
thermometer having boon at 47 deg. whe
we took our depnrturo, and the air bod
very snowy feci. The clouds, which ho
been gradually gathering from morning
now began to assume a threatening aapcci
and sure cu >u&h, in n few minutes w
were in tho midst of a furious whirlwiu
of sleet and snow. The wind whistled tei
ribly through the cordage of the balloon
as w? rushed with l'uarfu! rapidity throng
the blinding scud, and the vacillation c
our tenuous globe was so alarmiug, tha
we were obliged to cling with tho grasp c
despciit.on to the cords, to prevent cu
being pitched headlong into the abyss he
low.?Again we wero tossed into an al
most horizontal position, more so than n
any previous lime, and teat was our ?*lv:i
tion, for everything movable but ourselve
fell out, sand bags includ< d, and wo aros
with a rush'above the storm, liut we ha<
oscapcd one danger to encounter a oior
serious one. It was now intensely cold
and the wet snow, which had accumuli
ted around and o.< the ton of the Lailoor
became frozen in one solid shoot of ice, an
it* further contraction might seriously cr,
danger :hc safety of the balloon. Wha
waa to be done ??Happily an idea atruc
Mon* G , and -juick as thought ho clair
bored like a cat up the netting of the ba
loon, near its top, and with his can
(which fortunately had been secured f
tho car) battered away manfully until tli
ice shell parted and fell in a tunas upoc u
burying u*. like au avalanche.?Wo a
fell to work and in afow minutes the ci
was cleared, and tho balloon, relieved (
its burthen, shot up again to a foarfi
height, daring which timo Mons.G. lowe
ccUhimaclf hack to the ear in safety.
That we were at-a higher point tha
| oyer man before attained, was plain fro
SpF J the great difficulty we experienced
v ureaibiag. wur ear* uagiea, ana tne t
rj blood in oar veins seemed to be forcic
itself out of oar ears, mouth and flngi
ads. To cootiaae then much lunger aj
ward would be certain destruction. <?L
usdeoeadat once, Moos, tjodard," wee
claimed. Upon this/ Uodari imraed
ately polled the valve ropo, bat horror
the valve was frosen fast, eo'hard that b
utmost strength was nasafficient to pull
open. To increase our horror, wo we
just moantiog into another cloud, but U
tunatelj tbis time of rain* Again v
were at the mcrey of the wind, and we
carried hither and thither as before, b
not with the same dogreeof severity, uni
wo. arose above it.
A seoood time the valve-rope was trie
but without auoces*, sod Mens. G. w
too much overcome to ascend tho bal!o?
s second tiiee. htill our coarse was u
ward; but, strange to m/# as we prcgfessi
we experienced leas difficulty of breathii
than when we moat have b^en more that
mile uoarer tbe earthy according to Q
calculation?thooah it woe rather a b
haurd one, for all hi* i DKUiiteaota, ??#et

e It waa a great regret with all of us, a
Mens. <1. in particular, that tho inati

The heat had now bt-eouie so oppreatg

of tho balloon. Night, too, waeboginni

When Paley lirat wen I to Cambridge lie
fell into a society far richer than himself,
to whom his talents au<l.conviviality made
hiui nti acceptable ooinpa.iicu, and he waa
iij u mir w.iy igr ruin, one ruorniug one
of these couii jdo.H oamc into Lis b<d-room
before he was up, and he, ns usual, thought
it 'ves to propose some plan of pleasure for
tlio day. II is friend, however said?"Paley,
I have not slept a wink this night for
thinking of you I atu, as you know heir to
such a fortune, ami whether T ever look
in a took at Cambridge or not, <J>?es not
signify one farthing. But this is not tho
ease with yon; you have only your abilities
to look to, and no man has better, - if
you do but ruakc tlie proper use of tbooi.
But if you go on in this way you are rained;
and from this time foiward I am dotormitied
not to aasociotc with you, for "
yourownsake. Vou know I like your
company, and i\ is ? great sacrifice togivo
it up ; but give it up 7 will, as a matter of
consoionoo." J'alev lay iu bod the wholo
day, ruminating upon this. In tbc evening
lie rose and took bis tea, ordered bis
bed-maker to mako his fire ovor uight, and
call him at five in the morning; and from
that day forward rose always at that hour,
went-out first wrangler, and bceoino the
fortunate man he was. This ha related
to his intimntn friend, Mr. Sheepshanks;
from him it came to Broome, and he told
it to mo this evening, October titb 1803.

Art. est or Supposed Abolitionihts?
Third Sergoant Thomas Price, of the Mounted
Police, arretted in thia city last evouing,
in the vicinity of Drayton street, an
individual named James Marshal), who
was delivering an abolition speech. From
his appearance it was supposed that many
imbibitions of Southern red-eye firod up
his Noithcrn feelings, and he undertook
the responsibility of giving to a few little
nitfL'ers his opinion* of Southern instils*
tions. '''hey were very much amused at
him, and 'thea ho was arrested gave throe
hearty chceia at his sucoeM iu getting lodgings
at tho Police i>arr?cks Another
gonticman of the same stripe was also nr.
rested iu the vicinity of the market and
was locked up. They will be quietly sent
lVoui the oity to their Northern homes, and
should be thankful each at having escaped

, STARTLING DISCLOSURES. .
The trial of HutiIN'otox, for for- *
gory, id still going on at New York, in
the Court of Genornl Sessions- Tbw
prosecution finished their portion of the
case on Tuesday. Mr. BftYAX opened
C il. j -P 1 - - *
lur inu uciciice, ana siarica at once
with the plea of insanity During Mr.
Bryak'b address to the jury, bo made
use of sumo very arrange language, and
put forth the following astounding dovelopemonts
.*
* Charles lleldeu knew Huntington's .
character aud whole career. It was ho
who tempted Huntington to thebo forgorice,
petted him, ay J smilud approval
upon all his prodigality. Charles Beldon
has for a period of only five months
established an account at the Bank of
the Ropublie of five million* of dollars.
4 These forgeries thus fostered hare.
amounted in all to $20,000,000. an astounding
earn; Belden induced Hun
tington'to take into his employ one Bank*
er, formerly an attache of the Beldena
and Harbeckn, who was to act as spy.
4 lie alleges that Brlden knew of a){
these forgeries, and that the. detection . ?
was purely accidental. Behlen was
known ft be an accomplished gentle*
man, and at the same time the mos*
avaricious, grasping usurer among u*.
He became nlindediu hit cupidity, and
'the evil day came before be had per* * &
footed his pUn* for escape.
He was not yet through with Har-'
book. The idea that He would take no C
rr.o>? than legal interest was an astounding
absurdity
4 There was only a lialf million uttt of
the twenty millions of fornod tiaperiijp'>?
iled. It was forged in the very
chair which oontoiaed lWHett Schuyler
when he perpetrated Hm gtnat mercenary
forgeries. .. A*:
