Curious to wunesB the sport , he pulled the valve and descended at eieht o ' clock , between Etouen p- «« a ^ hl ' f ' ., rejecting his oars , he set himself to gather some ballast . Wfailehowasthusoccupied , the hunters galloped up to him . He then mounted a tbirdume , and passed through a dense bodv nf ci in S ^^ tti » e !^^ «

" The thermometer fell to twenty one , but afterwards regained us former point of sixty-six degrees , when tne balloon had reached an altitude of 3 , 000 feet In this region the voyager sailed till half-past nine o olock , at which time he observed from "his watchtower in the sky " the final setting of the aun . He was now quickly inrolved in darkness , and enveloped in the thickest mass of thunder clouds . The liebtnmga flashed on all sides , and the loud claps were incessant . The thermometer , seen by the helD of a
pnosphoriejight with which he had provided him-8611 , stood at twenty-one degrees , and anow and Sleet tell copiously around him . In this most , tremendous situation the intrepid adventurer remained ttta space of th * ee hoara-tne time during which the storm lasted . The balloon was affected by a sort of undulating motion , upwards and downwards , owing , he thought , to the electrical action of the clouds . * 1 i S " tnln F appeared excessively vivid , but the taunder was sharp and loud , preceded by aeorfc of crackling noise , A calm at last succeeded , he had the pleasure to see the stars , and embraced this opportunity to take some necessary refreshmentt . At half-past two o ' clock the day broke in ; but his ballast being nearly gone , he finally descended a quarter before four o'clock , near the village of Campremi , about sixty-three miles from Paris .
Mr . Wise is , of coarse , highly impressed with the dignity and importance of his oalling . He thinks the balloon mi £ ht be usefully employed in the public Bervice , both in peace and war . He proposed , during the war with Mexico , to capture the fortress of St . Juan d'Ulloa by means of a war-balloon fi $ ed with rockets and other destructive missiles : but the government refused his offers , and the failure of the more recent attempt of the Austrians to blow up Venice by means of balloons may be held to justify their refusal . The suggestion for a leaping machine to assist exploring parties is at least curious : —
If we take a balloon of limited size , about eighteen feet in diameter each way , it will , when inflated with hydrogen gas , be capable of raising 160 pounds , indepednet of its own weight . Now ; if this be so fastened to a man ' s body aa not to interfere with the free use of his arms and legs , he may then ballast himself so as to be a trifle heavier than the upward tendency of the balloon , which will be nearly in equilibria . If then he provides himself with a pair of wings , made on the bird principle , with socket joints tq slip over hi 3 arms at the shoulders , and a grasping handle internally of each one , at the distance from the shoulder joint of the wing , as the distance is from the shoulder to his band , he may best against the air with his wines ,
and bound Against tue earth witb bis feet , so as to make at least a hundred yards at each bound . This the writer has often done , in the direction of a gentle windj with the aid of bis feet alone , after bis balloon bad desoended to the earth ; and , on one occasion , traversed a pine forest of several miles in extent , by bounding against the tops of the trees . Such a contrivance would be of inestimable value to exploring expeditions . Landings to otherwise inaccessible mountains ; escapes from surrounding icebergs ; explorations of volcanic craters ; traversing vast swamps and morasses ; walking over lakes and seas ; bounding over isthmuses , straits , and promontories , or exploring the cloud-capped peaks of Chimborazo , could thus all be easily accomplished .

Travels in European Turkey in 1850 . By . E . SPBNCEa . 2 Vole . London : Colburn . Mr . Spencer introduces the reader to the regions lying between the Danube and the Mediterranean districts rarely visited b y the traveller , and comprising in his jour « ney great length , variety , and interest . He began his travels at Semlin : —whence he passed through Bosnia , Servia , Bulgaria , Macedonia , Thrace , Albania , and Epirus . After this long land ramble , he sailed for the Ionian Isles and Greece ; and returned to England by the Austrian provinces on the
lower Danube , and through Hungary . Recent events in the latter country—and especially the visit of Kossuth—have turned the eyes of Englishmen in that direction ; and any information as to its actual condition and capabilities has , in addition to its intrinsic value , at this moment peculiar interest . In some of his addresses the Hungarian patriot forcibly explained the material benefits which would accrue , even to England itself , by the liberation of Hungary , and the continent generally , from the thraldom in which it is held by the despotic powers * and we find , in Mr . Spencer ' s wort , abundant confirmation of the views thug
expressed . Here is a description of the commercial capabilities of Servia , one of the youngest members of the European family . : — Our wealthy swineherd pointed out to me a drove of fat grunters , who were then most diligently turning up the earth in search of some root more dainty than the heaps of acorns that lay around them , and requested me to tell him how much he should be likely to obtain a head for them in the London markets . "When I assuredhim ttsat each animal would be worth at least three hundred Turkish piastres , he cast upon me a look expressive at once of credulity and anger , evidently regarding me as 6 ome mischief-loving Frank , who was amusing himself with his ignorance . Then , without even vouchsafing me a single " slowga" or " phala-bog , " the usual salutation at parting , he spurred his steed , and , being well mounted , soon
left us in the distance . I did notfeel surprised at the conduct of the good Serbian , or his disbelief in my assertions , since the Austrians , who are the sole purchasers here , never pay more than three or four florina a head for these animals , and then send them to every market , in Germany . Might not this prore an advantageons speculation for some of our own wealthy traders ? In the interior of the country they can be bought even at a lower rate ; at the same time , their flavour being similar to that of the wild boar , which they somewhat resemble in form , renders them the more acceptable to the epicure . Uow , as the Danube is equally open to the commercial speculation of an Englishman or an Austrian , I trust that some of my friends will profit by the hint , and make their fortunes .
I feel assured that , if some of our enterpmmg countrymen , acquainted with commercial pursuits , were to visit these provinces of European Turkey , they would find a rich field , as yet unexplored : both here , as well » s in Moldavia and Wallachia , I found a most anxious desire on the part of the inhabitants to estahlish a more intimate commercial connexion with Great Britain . Prince Constantme Soutzo , of Moldavia , one of the most extensive landed proprietors of the province , frequently expressed to me his wishes to that effect , and begged me , on my return home , to open for him a negotiathe
tion with some English merchant for disposal of bis timber , corn , and cattle , which seemed to lie upon his hands without the possibility of a sale . As all commerce should be reciprocal , perhaps it may be expected that I should suggest what articles of our manufactures would be most likely to find a lucrative sale . Sheffield cutlery , vrhich all admire and covet , together with Staffordshire wares , would be much prized . As to printed calicoes , the Austrians monopolise the market ; this is , however , not owing to their cheapness , nor the superiority of the fabric , but the manufacturer has had the wisdom to consult the taste of his buyers . The
chief purpose for which they require calico is to make their long loose pelisse ; for these they use gaudy colours with broad stripes ; it would , however , be advisable to send an agent to study the pattern , in order to secure with safety an extensive sale . In addition to these people , the Turks , particularly , have a decided predilection for everything that is English ; the Austrian and Swiss manufac turers , aware of this penchant , most adroitly fix to their spurious and flimsy goods the name of some well-known English manufacturer . Oiled paper beine now superseded by glass for windows , occasions a large demand for the latter article . Watches are coveted by all ranks , and are valued and admired in proportion to their size .
Mr Spencer gives a rapid acc ount of the recent Hungarian struggle accompanied by the subjoined reflections on the state of the country under despotic sway , and the probable results upon Europe , if the aggressive career of Russia is not checked , Every act of the Court of Vienna , since the twrSs in 1815 , has uniformly been , to use a v ^ TcirexFession , to toady Bussia , and be at all Ita « t he rwdy instrument of the C « r ~ to crush

As a proof that we haTd not distorted or exaggerated facts we Hnr ^ T " * ,.- !™ " , S y important original documents , which will completely corroborate every statement we have made respecting the distressing scenes that took place in Hungary , and the perfidof the
y Auairian authorities . ine originals , signed by the members of the Senate and the Hungarian Government , are in the hands of our publishera . This is a serious view of the question , and amounts to this : if the governments of Austria aRd Russia are allowed to arrest the march of civilization , there can be no hope nor prospect of seeing an end to those eternal revolutionary struggles of the inhabitants of Continental Europe , to secure to themselves liberal institutions . In fact , the intimate alliance oftheae two powers , in their crusade against every popular form of eovernmnnfc .
ana the dexterity they display in endeavouring to bring into contempt the representative system , has not sufficiently excited the attention of the inhabitants of our free counties of ; the West , it is true Austria ranks in Europe as a German power having a German town for her capital , and a German administration ; but her real strength lies in the allegiaaca of her Slavonian subjects—who constitute the majority , and with whom she possesses no ties of kindred , no endearing remembrances of tradition and fatherland , and whom the Czar of Russia , in his character of Slavonian prince , could at any time absolve from the ties that bind them to a German ruler .
The insidious attempt of Austria at thia moment under the plea of mainlining social order to obtain the mastery in Germany , with her Slavonian tail , is part and parcel of the same Muscovite policy that struck down ; the thousand year monarchy of the Magyars- When Germany becomes Slavonian , republican France must be dismembered ! and the British people be taught that public opinion only belongs to a sovereign ! Winding up the drama by a solemn declaration to the world that , at length , it had pleased heaven that the light of a purer faith should dawn oser certain countries in Asia and Europe—once subject to the infidel rule of a Mahometan sovereign ! Thus we may see accomplished through our own aupinencss the prediction of the Exile of St . Helena , who said , that fifty years more would see the whole Of Europe either Cossack or Republican !
There is , however , hope for the nations if Kossuth and his noble countrymen receive the support they ask from free nations , and especially from England and America : — If a brave , united people like the Hungarians , have been able to contend with the most powerful and best-appointed armies that Europe had seen since the days of Napoleon , in defence of their constitutional privileges , now that they have succeeded in gaining to their cause their former enemies the Slavonians , the next struggle may be attended with serious results ; and how numberless are their wrongs—an outraged people—a dismembered
country—a second Poland—their chiefs massacred , or wandering in penury and exile in the land of the stranger . As might be expected , now that a reaction has taken place in the popular feeling , in every town , village , or hamlet , throughout the land , whether inhabited by Hungarian , Slavonian , or Wallachian , a cry of vengeance and the name of Louis Kossuth trembles on every lip—their guardian angel , who is to deliver them from the thraldom of Austrian bureaucracy , martial law , multiplied taxes , and all the harassing chicanery of a host of needy German placemen , lording it over them in the harsh tones of a language with which they are unacquainted .
The inhabitants of "Western Europe , with all their cares and worldly occupations , can form no idea ot the excitement of this people , who , infuriated by recent disasters , have directed their every thought and energy to the means of again ¦ wresting their errantry from tbe grasp of the German stranger . The fair sex even outvie the men in their enthusiasm , and truly we cannot but admire the patience of the poor Austrian soldier who has to endure scoff and taunt from lips as beautiful as ever smiled en man .
In all the large towns we behold multitudes of these lovely Amazons , in the deepest mourning , fulfilling their oath never to cast it off until Hungary is again independent ; others wearing tbe national colours in the various articles of their dress , to manifest at the same time their patriotism and contempt for the rule of the German , and nil are decorated with bracelets and necklaces made from the coins issued during the government of Louis Kossuth . Again , not one of these patriots , whether male or female , will now utter a word of German , although we found that language universally spoken , during our visit to Hungary in 1847 , not only by the higher classes , but l » y nearly every merchant and shopkeeper , and in . ill the inns
throughout the country . This war against the German language , and everything German , is car ried on with equal violence in Pesth , the capital of the Hungarians , as in Agram , the capital of the Croations , and indeed in all the townB through which we passed in 1850 , and the same degree of excitement and discontent exists , notwithstanding that the entire country is under martial law , and 150 , 000 Russians lying on the frontier ready to assist the executive in case of need . This is precisely what might be expected on the reaction which followed the war in Hungary , the
fate of every government that resorts to expedients to preserve it from falling . The Croa : ians and Servians , who had fought so long and bravely by the side of the Imperialists , found instead of becoming tbe lords of the land , which they had been led to expect as the reward of their loyalty , that they had exchanged the mild rule of the Magyar for the harsh despotism and intolerance of the Austrians , with their vexatious bureaucracy—array of spiespassports , and multiplied taxes . The discontent thus excited , Was adroitly taken advantage of by the Hungarian party , which led to a sanguinary collision between the executive and the Croatians
at Agram , and tbe Servians and the Wallachians in some districts of the Yoiavodina , and the Bukowina , and Transylvania . The ill-fee ! ing this created , aided the Hungarian cause by adding to the number of their allies , and at the same time increased the difficulty almost to hopelessness of any real conciliation between the inhabitants of these provinces and a German ruler . And , as a general result , we are told : The spirit of nationality and a determination io assert their independence , never rose higher than at this moment , and now that they have succeeded in cementing a union with their compatriots , the Slavonians , like the Normans and the Saxon of olden time in England , which two races , they each
respectively resemble in character , combining the fiery bravery of tbe one , with the cool intrepidity of the other , it is not too much to say that they are destined to take a prominent part in the great events which are fast preparing in those provinces of Austria and European Turkey . The movement of the inhabitants to secure to themselves a political existence , has been going on with redoubled energy since the intervention of Russia in the affairs of Hungary , and the military occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia ; aided and abetted as it is by every man of intellect and enterprise among these various races , and who we may be assured only await a favourable moment to form a confederation of interests and declare themselves independent . Amen I

The Home . Part 6 . Edited by Eichabe Oastler . Ilf the present part the venerable Editor continues his articles on the French Revolutions , which he has now brought down to 1848 i Louis Napoleon has given him some more material , and the revolution of 1851 will , doubtless , soon be followed b y others . Bui Mr . Oaetler takes a deeper , and , vre believe , sounder view of the causes of these unhappj
convulsions than the generality of writers . Instead of seeking for their causes in mere political circles or combinations , he traces them in the systematic denial of justice to the industrious classes , and the predominance of capitalists and profitmongers determined to grow rich in defiance of all the great principles of relig ion and morality . This phase of tbe question is never lost sight of , and is presented with all the earnestness resulting from a deep conviction of its importance to all classes in the graphic style which distinguishes

THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Tli is very popular place of amusement haa been re-opened with a great number of additions to its former attractions ; and it may now be classed among the roost instructive as well as tbe most amusing collections of curiosities which We ever been brought together in any portion of the world . The articles which have just been added to it are in many cases of a very important character , and have almost all been drawn from that renowned repertory of dispersed industrial treasures—the Great Exhibition . Those articles meet us in nearly every quarter of the institution . In the great ha )) which vre first enter we find & large collection of machinery , among which the principal novelties are
an electro-plating machine and a hydraulio press . The value of the display in this portion of the establishment ia very materially enhanced by a series of lectures delivered at stated hours in explanation of many of the great triumphJ of modern industry . In the gallery of the great hall we meet with many additions from tb « Exhibition to the old stock of is varied curiosities , tuch as collections of stuffed birds , carvings on oak , Mr . Dawson ' s patent auto * phon , or improved or « tau , which is played on from time to time , and a pianoforte combined with an JEolian harp , which is also employed occasionally to gratif > the taste of the lovers of harmonious combinations . The west balcony is occupied principally with paintings and pieces of sculpture , among , which , however , we recognised no important novelties . The eastern balcony is filled , as formerly , with agricultural implements . In another room we have a number of models of 6 hip 3 , some of which ,
we believe , are new , and all of which are more or le ^ s interesting to the very large class who feel any curiosity in those naval structures wbich . form the main source of our national greatness and prosperity , The theatre of the institution is used at certain stated hours throughout the day for the delivery of lectured and for scientific experiments ; and these seem to form the most popular as well as the most instructive displays in the establishment ; . In the course of the day lectures are delivered b y Mr . J . H . Pepper on agricultural chemistry , and by Dr . BacUhotfner on the philosophy of scientific recreations , and are very favourabl y received by respeotable and intelligent audiences . On the whole , we have no doubt but that the Polytechnic Institution , in its enlarged and improved condition , will continue henceforward to enjoy that additional amount of popular favour to which , through the judicious liberality of its proprietors , it is bo well entitled .
PRINCESS'S THEATRE . Miss Prankland , the young lady who a short time ago made her debut as Rosalie in Town and Country , played Portia in the Merchant of Venice . While her manner was marked by the same graceful inobtrusiveness which she displayed in the humbler part , she showed an intelligence which had not been previously called forth . Her comedy , though quiet , is vivacious ; and in the scene where Portia anxiously watches Bassanio ' s choice of tho caskets , her byplay displaying the successive emotions of fear and hope was truthfully and carefully sustained . The art of forcible declamation , she has , however , not yet obtained , and the famous eulogy of mercy was the least impressive part of her performance . Mr .
K « an , who was called at the end , and who had well merited the honour by the force and discrimination with which lie had brought out the leading points of Sbylock ' s character , led forward the young actress . Mr . \ Vigan ' 8 Bass . tnio is meritorious for the perspicuity with which he brings out the friendship for Antonio ^ The broken voice with which ht ) reads the intelligence of the merchant ' s calamity , and his sedulous attention to him when the fatal crisis approaches , are marked by that real feeling which can scarcely fail to awaken sympathy . Mr . Harley , quaint and thorougly at home as Launcelot Gobbo . so delighted hie beholders that they raised a call ior him long after he had changed his stage attire , and he made his bow as Mr . ( Iarley in propria persona .
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCES . Anew entertainmenti consisting of athletic exercises and tableaux viuans , was opened on Tuesday evening at Saville House , Leicester-square , under the direction of Professor Krosso . Ttie artists engaged in the various performances are thirty-two in number , male and female , The most remarkable feature in the whole performance i 3 what is described as a " Paxtonian Pyramid .

The fea » s of strength are not entirely novel , but they are not the less interesting on that account , and Professor Krosso is well deserving of patronage from those who take an interest iu such performances .

The solidified milk has been patented by Mr . Fadenilke ; the artificial milk is the invention of Mr . S . Piesse . Both these substances wiil confer a lasting benefit upon the maritime interests of the world , being so useful for long sea voyages , especially for emigrants with children . Either of these materials being mixed with water , produces are . il milk , which , with tea or coffee , cannot be distinguished from ordinary milk . Fop the public benefit Mr . Piesse has published his recipe for
preparing his Lactine , or Artificial Milk , which we subjoin ,: —Honey , four ounces ; gum arabic , in powder half an ounce ; tliree yolks of eug ; fine salid oil , six ounces . Mix the lionuy and the gum first , then add the egg , and , finally , gradually mix in the oil . It will at once lie seen that all the ingredients employed are perfectly nutritious , wonderfully representing the known composition of real milk . Tho oil is for the butter principle ; theeg « is the animal or cheese matter ; and the honey and gum are for the sugar , found in all inilk . One ounce of lactine , dissolved in half a pint of water , produces half a pint of artificial milk . By a slight modification of the proeuss , Mr . Piesse hopes shortly to produce ariifi « tnl butter .

I System of Aeronautics , comprehendbig its Earliest Investigations , and Modern Practice and Art . Designed as a History for the " Common Reader , and Guide to the student of tie Art . By Johx Wise , Aeronaut . Philadelphia : Speel . The desire to fly is ihe dream of childhood . Ihe Watory of aerial navigation has its mythical age , like other history , —its taleB of wonder an d mystery , —ihe flying pigeon of Archytas , -ihe ' story of the luckless aeronaut of the
time of 2 ? ero , —and so forth . Bat it is only in modem times that the subject of air-sailing came to be popularly comprehended as different from magic and witchcraft , and to he pursued on scientific principles . Roger Bacon proposed to fly hy means of thin copper globes filled with ' etherial air or liquid fire : '—and as the true nature of the atmosphere came to he understood by ihe learned , OQinerons plans for flying were proposed . Xone , however , had much success until the Uontgolfiers invented their balloon , in 1782 . This at once turned the attention of the
public and of learned bodies to the subject . Tbe heated air with which the Montgolfiers inflated their machine soon gaye place to the lighter hydrogen ; and the possibility of carrying huge weights through the atmosphere was demonstrated by experiment . It is difficult to read the contemporary records of the state of public feeling in regard to this discovery without a smile . Geographical discovery had lost a portion of the romantic and absorbing interest which had attached to it in the time of the earlier voyagers , —but here was a new and grander field * of operation . Columbus
had discovered a new continent , —now men were about to find anew world 1 Voyages to fiie moon and planets began to be discussed as feasible matters . The new region of space opened np for the investigation of man was froundleas—and the idea of scaling the heavens vas popularly received in every coffeehouse in Paris . Even science was startled from its ealm attitude by this event . The genius of Europe turned to the Academy , as it had done to Seville in tbe days of Columbus , — and the Conservatoire des Arts was looked on as the point of embarkation for the skies .
Of course , this enthasiasm died away as Ihe experiments proceeded ; but aerial voyages retained some of their interest for the public after the firet brilliant dreams had passed away in disappointment , —p artly from their danger , and partly from the lurking idea that they might yet be turned to practical account , from both these causes , they are still attractive . Mr . Wise assures us , they are extremely popular ; although as yet very little practical value has been extracted from them , in spite of the skill and intrepidity exhibited by the race of air-navigators .
from the acconnt of a few remarkable voyages collected by Mr . Wise , we will present an extract or two . The following relates tothe first trip across the sea ever attempted in a balloon ;—Tho most remarkable aerial voyage that was made soon after tho discovery of aerostatic machinery , was accomplished by M . Blanchard , in oompanj with Dr . Jeffries , an American physician , who was at the time residing in England . On the 7 th of January , 17 S 5 , in a clear frosty day , the balloon * as launched from the cliff of Dover , and , after a Eomewhat perilous adventure , they crossed the Chacnel in something less . than three hours . The
balloon , after its release , rose slowly and majestically in the air ; they passed over several ships , and enjoyed a grand prospect of the numerous objects lelow tbetn . They soon , * however , found themselves beginning to descend , which put them to the necessity of throwing over half their ballast , when thev « 6 Yfe & \> out 6 » e-thiird way across the Channel . "VVlTen they got about half-way across they found themselves descending again , upon which vriey threw over the balance of their sand ; also some books they had with them . All this failed te overcome the gravitating power of the balloon . Tiey nest commenced throwing overboard their apparatus—cords—grapples , and bottles . An empty bottle seemed to emit smokeas jfc descended , and , when
it struck the water , the shock of the concussion was sensibly felt by the aeronauts . Still , their machine continned to descend , when they next betook themselves to throwing off their clothing ; but having now nearly reached the French coast , the ballooli began to ascend again , and rose to a considerable height , without compelling them to dispense with much of their apparel . They passed Over the highlands between Cape Blanc and Calais , and landed near the edge of the forest of Guiennes , not far beyond Calais . The magistrates of the town treated tho serial travellers with the utmost imdness and hospitality . The King of France made M . Blanchard a present of 12 , 000 Jivres , as a token of bppreciation of the aeronaut ' s perseverance and Bkillin the newly-discovered art .
The voyage of M . Testu is one of the most curious in the annals of aerostation : — On the 18 th of June , 1785 . M . Testu ascended from P-iris . His balloon was twenty-nine feet in diameter , constructed byhjniBelf , of glazed tiffany . furuiBhed with auxiliary winge , and filled , as had now become the f . a 6 hion , with hydrogen gas . it b been much injured by wind and ram during ihenieht before its ascension ; but , having
undergone a alight repair , it was finally launched , with its condnctor , at four o'clock in the afternoon . The barometer tnen stood 28 63 inches , and the thermometer as high as eighty-four degrees , thoucli the day was cloudy and threatened ram . Tne bal loon had at first been filled only five-sixths ; but it gradually swelled as it became drier and warmer , and acquired its utmost distension at the height of 2 . S 90 feet But to avoid the waste of gas or the ^ Pture of the balloon , the navigator calculated to
descend by the reaction of his wings . Though this [ Orce had little efficacy , yet at half-past five o ' clock * e softly alighted in a corn-field in tha plain of Monttnoreney . Without Wing tbe car , he began to collect a few stones for ballast , when he was surrounded by the proprietor of the corn and a troop of peasants , who insisted on being indemnified for the damage occasioned by his idle and curious visitors . . Anxious now to disengage himself , ne persuaded them that , his wings bein" broken , at their y « eized
