"r. " From V Dctroti JKbuiM. . ; ' "We received call this morning from Mr. J ohn Steiner, of Philadelphia, a somewhat noted a?ro naut, wbo has Jus made bis fortieth ascension, which has proved quite a "perilous adventure. . - After several dayi' delay he finally succeeded in making tbe ascent from Erie about 8 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The weather was stormy, with squalls of wind, which rendered the voyage not entirely pleasant The wind being in the right direction, however, H was determined, it being his purpose to sail across the lake and alight in Can- Me arose to the height of about threemiles, and started off at a slow but steady rate.; ' The outlook was very beautifuL Tbe Lake could be seen from one end to the other nearly, save as cloud intercepted - it -occasionally from view. At one time Mr. Steiner counted 38 sail vessehv all in sight, and far below him. Tbe hands on board several of the vessels saw him, and right ly apprehending that he an ssronaut, cheered him heartily, and he stales that their shouts could heard by him' quite distinctly. " . . . The wind kept blowing steadily from the right quarter, and" the voyage promised a very success ful termination. . lie n eared the Canada shore a little below Long Point, and was gradually com ing in to shore. "When about 10 miles from land, however, a counter current struck him, which was bearing directly down the lake. This was quite a strong one, much more so than tbe one which had propelled him safely thus far, and he was accord ingly driven towards Buffalo. ' ' Jle was about two and a half miles above the surface of the water. Night was drawing on and it became apparent that he could not, with this current, get away from the water before dark, and nfier night-fall it would not be safe to come down. Seeing a propeller making her way up tbe Lake, he therefore resolved to descend, and, if possible, strike tbe water so as to be rescued by the steamer. Tle propeller proved to be the Mary Stewart Her offioers discovered the balloon about the ame time that they were descried by its occupant. The American Ensign was run up and her whistle sounded,Mr. S. responded by waving asmall Amer ican flag fromhis car. . He threw out a largo an chor, attaohedto about 30 feet of strong rope, for the purpose of making fast to the vessel if be should cross above her before reaching the water. He then began to descend, and came down rapidly. He Jirst struck the water about 25 miles below Long Point, and three, miles above the propeller, which was bound up. In seven minutes be pass ed her about twenty rods astern. During this time, Mr. Steiner says he thinks his balloon bound ed from the water at least twenty times. It would strike and then rebound, like a ball, going into the air front twenty to fifty feet, and still rushing down the lake at railroad speed. - His anchor not catching to anything, caused this not very agree able episode. A boat was immediately launched from tbe propeller, which went in pursuit of him. They got nold of a long rope which he had thrown out, and which was attached to the balloon.and began to haul in. i But as soon "as the line was made taut, the balloon, took the boat in tow with a will. The sailors pulled the oar-locks off the boat, but could not stop their novel "tug." Mr. Steiner then abandoned tbe balloon, leaping into the water and swimming towards the boat, which speedily reach ed him. Ho was taken on board, hospitably en tertainod, and brought to thii city, where ho ar rived last evening, none the worse for his adven turous vovage. This is the third balloon Mr. Steiner has lost. It cost $500. , He requests tbe Canada papers to state that any person wbo may pick np the balloon is requested to communicate with him at No. 286 Parish street, Philadelphia. - He' goes down to Cleveland to-night. - He desires us to return thanks to the captain and crew for their hospitality. i : GENERALS SANTA ANNA AND CONCHA. Up to the ISthinst, Santa Anna bad not arrived at Havana, where bis father-in-law is said to be busy preparing for his return to Mexico in com pany wih tbe Spanish fleet said to be off Cuba. Tbe talk is that Spain " will assist the one legged cock-fighter to get back to the halls of the Montenmas, and that be tyilj then pay Spain a million of dollars for the assassinations at St V m cent, and make an alliance, offensive and defen sive, with Spain against the United States 1 These propositions, it is said, were approved of by Concha, but a later letter from Havana shows that Con cha's own nose is out of joint t " General Concha has been recalled and Lep undi appointed -in his place. Concha - will leave here in the French mail packet on the 12th of August, if his successor does not come before that time. A large party is being made np by his intimate friends to accompany him to Paris. The cause of this sudden change of fortune against bim is that the English ambassador at Madrid has demanded his recall for openly conniving at the slave trade, and accompanied the accusation with such powerful evidence that Narvaez has had no otner cnoice inan w consent to ine necessity. This fact has affected Concha deeply, as he has always been ambitious to merit the good reputa tion ascribed to him by the English press. He bas no one to blame but himself, for $3,000 per annum oue;ht to pi .we a man beyond theinflner.ee of gold. That he has participated in the bribes lavishly expended by the slave dealers no one pre tends to deny; and be has been so negligent in this respect that even his friends have been obliged to confess that the slave trade bas been more active since the year 1856 than was ever known before . OCCULTATJON BY SATURN. . The very rare and important phenomenon of the occultauon of a sar of the third magnitude ( Delta Gominorum) by Saturn will occur on tbe 29th ins-t, and if circumstance permit of its ob servation, may be of great importance as aitbrd . ing information concerning the structure and number of divisions of Saturn's ring." . A star of such brightness would not fail to make manifest every division in the ring by gleaming through at each instant that an opening allowed its lignt to be seen. I'ossibly, too, in case the ring is translucent as is not improbable, since Professor Pierce bas demonstrated that it certainly is fluid, and we know it to be extremely thin the star's bright light may actually be capable of detection throusrh the substance of the rine. The rdienom- enon will be invisible through Europe, but. Prof. y inncve, of lionn, nas recently published calcu lations upon this subject from y bich be infers that the must favorable point on the globe will be Cambridge, Mass., as apart from tbe facilities of fered by the powerful tc-lcscojie of that observato ry, the oecultation takes place after, sunset, and while tbe planet is 4 high. The oecultation of a star so bright as Delta Geminoriim is computed by Docior Winnocke as happening -onlv once in 1500 years, and tbe rarity and interest of the phe nomenon is greatly enhanced in the present in stance, bo the fact tliat in this case the star is double. Boston Omrier. ,- , . Aw Excmso Contest. The political contest in Tennessee, between tiic candidates for Governor, is bcondng very excited.

With these, the soldier can go on, no matter how great the difficulties may seem which lie in his way. With such bearty expressions of your approbation and your sympathy, we will re new the contest, and hope for a sure and speedy triumph of our cause." .As he took his seat, cheers and cries for Henningspn and others arosej until tbe orchestra drowned the noise, and the play once more proceeded.

Gen. Walker will remain at the Lafarge Hotel for a day or two longer, when he will take up his residence at a private house, and will in the course of a week or so return South, first visiting Phila delphia and Washington. - An invitation has been tendered him to visit Albany, but we understand be has declined, on ac count of important business, which will shortly call him to the capital of the Unidh. . T Ceawfokd, the Scclptob Success of Dr, Fell, the American Physician. Crawford the sculptor, is still under the care of "Dr. Fell in London. A portion of the cancerous tumor back of his eye is removed, and - with no subse quent return of paralysis or epilepsy, and with a great relief from pain, ine process ot removal employed by the physician consists in the appli cation to the eye of some powerful cauterizing ointment, (tne composition i wnicn pas not oeen disclosed,) which is followed by pricking, and thus drawing out first the eye itself and then the tumor behind it. In this way the eye has been destroyed with a part of the tumor. The physician has been entirely successful with tumors of this character, and it is only tbe near connection of jVIr. Crawford s with tiie. brain which throws any doubt on tbe success of tbe pre sent experiment. It is little more than two years since Dr. Fell left New York, where he'wa born and educated. . Since ha has taken bis residence in London, his success has been such that he has no rival in the department of medical practice to which he has contmeJ nis studies. - All classes flock to bis office to undergo his' me thod of treatment the success of which has al readv secured him a lucrative past in the leading hospital of London.

The Columbin) (Ohio) correspondent of the San dusky Register Ivrites as follows : - S i" vi, j One thing thus far . is . apparent,, that , John G. Breslin, late Treasurer of State, had acquired pos session, during the last year of his term of oflice. of large amounts of money, which, as the law then stood, authorizing the Treasurer of State to draw on county treasurers for a portion of the State taxes collected, never appeared, because not re quired to appear, as charges against him. on the books ot the State Auditor. . In these amounts thus drawn from the counties lies the immense de falcation just developed, and in endeavoring, idth tbe most honest motives, to secure to the State the amount so withheld from the Treasury by SMr. Breslin, his successor, Mr. Gibson, after having se cured the payment of over three hundred thousand dollars of this default, has fallen a victim to tuis placed confidence in the word of his predecessor. Mr. Gibson, the late Treasure, publishes ini the Tiifin; Tribune a stateiftcnt, from which- we tak the following,:!-: ' :Vr. . , My predecessor failed to pay what he owed? the State by a very largo sum. He paid what the ac counts showed Against him, but failed to pui me in funds to meet receipts which he had given coun ty treasurers.' These were legally binding on the State, and I w;as compelled to receive them as cash. When Mr. Breslin failed to put me in possession of the funds I should have made" it Public, r i My kindness of heart, which, with me,' amojanhi to positive weaicness, ieo me to reiy upon nm as surances, and say ho had pa?d al, except the -I two hundred and foiir thousand dolbirs reported.
