A go-a-head American , a Mr . Wise , proposes to ' take ' advantage of an air current from west to east , and establish a line of balloons between tie United States and Europe . The difficulties of the project are met with a boldness which nothing turns back . Indeed one little difficulty is , that the balloon-train cannot turn back . The aerial locomotives canriot , of course , return by the same route—but Mr- Wise thinks nothing of an obstacle like this—they can go forward , and return to their starting-point by running clean round the world ! The arrangements are so far advanced , that Mr . Wise has even settled the fares . "He undertakes , " says the Builder , " to circuraaeronaut the globe for 3000 dollars each trip . " The Athenmum wonders that some enterprising American has not effected the passage of the Atlantic hy relays of sea-serpents .
; As the wife anddaugh ^ er Mr . Bunting , a master-plumber of Norwich , were sitting in their apartment a few days ago , the floor suddenly ' - opened , ' and they fell into a pit twentyseven feet deep . A man , who was lowered with a rope to their aid , found Mrs . Bunting in a state of insensibility , i buried in mud . She was drawn up safe , but , in attempting to extricate the daughter , the man himself sunk in mud to the depth of five feet . Another man was therefore lowered , who rescued the daughter and the first man " also ,, in a state of insensibility . The cause of the occurrence is enveloped in mystery , except that it has long been known that there are in the neighbourhood extensive covered caverns and pits of i ; n » inown origin and purpose , and it is supposed that the earth at the top of one of these had given way under the apartment , and hence the accident .
Three men were killed on the premises of a chemist in Nor . wich on Friday , by an explosion of naphtha , which , contraiy to express order , one of the unfortunate deceased was pouring from a large vessel into a smaller one by tho light of a candle . The sailor whose lucky fortune in becoming tho sudden possessor of property amounting to ( i 0 , 000 L has been noted in the papers , is u Scotchman named Thomas Black , and lias lately been doing duty as a pettj' officer on board her Majesty ' s ship Leander , now lying in Plymouth Sound . It appears that he is connected with a highly respectable family in Perthshire , was well educated , and intended by his parents
for one of the learned professions . Seventeen years ago , however , he ran from home , and entered tho naval service , doing duty as a common sailor , and , having acquired some reputation as a mariner , ho was advanced to tho rank of a petty officer . This was his position when , about nine months ago ,- an advertisement appeared in tho Times , informing Thomas Black , if he wore still alivo , that by communicating with cortain parties therein named ho would hear of something very considerably to his advantage , Thomas Black , howover , did not read tho Times , and for months remained in ignorance of the " something , " which his noxt of kin woro beginning to be afraid they would bo obliged to appropriate
to their own nse nnd benefit . Luckily for Black , however , he ono day entered into conversation with a footman , whom ho mot accidentally at tho Cove of Cork , and who had heard from another servant some particulars touching tho lost , lieir to tho Perthshire estates . The result was , that Black made his existence known hi tho proper quarter , and after tho Inp . so of a few months his claims were recognised , and ho succeeded in obtaining his discharge from liaviil smvit . udu , on tho arrival of tho Leatuhr ut tho port of I'Jyinouth from Now York , which took plivco a f « w days ago .
