About one hundred people were assembied in Palace Gardem yesterday afternoon, to ‘the second balloon ascension of Mr. Augustus M Pupil of the osle- ‘brated Prof. Wwe. Four o'clock was the hour announced in the advertisement for the starting of the wromaut on bis perilous voyage, but, on the arrival of our reporter at the Garden, (about ten minutes after four o’clock,) the Process of inflation was only just begun. The balloon used on this occasion was the Venus, am entirely new ar | Tangement, built especially for Mr. Conner by his tutor, Temembered, some two miles to the westward of West- field, New Jersey. ‘The day was anything but favorable for a voysgo in the hig determination to ascend at all hazards, ra the few people who pd oo. << Sine Sone ae incluain, wit , Were present, r : from his purpose, but’ ler was bot! ~ demonstration — of Cy py nog he stepped ad balloon, which aru and fro more unmanagoa! , After several unsuccessful eflorte as oe proper ‘jon for « start, a sudden gust of wind her ageinst one of the fancy lamp posts scaltered ‘the garden, smashing it into a thousand fragments. me etl] held on, though the balloon another dart sideways im the direction of the concert saloon, whea Mr. Conner, at Gicious moment, and, it must be added, in baray spirit, cried out for all hands to “let go” —an which was perhaps obeyed more from from Sa ome nce With the demand.

The mort in- tepse excitement prevailed for some time, and the unoer- tainty of ber busbaad’s fate caused Mrs. Ooaner to swoou—a stato of altairs which greatly added to the an- guiab of the moment. People rusbed iu every direction, and after about a quarter of an hour's search, the luck: Jews wropaut was found on the roo! of the concert saloon, lyivg im the basket in au tngensible condition. With as little delay as porsibie be was conveyed to one of the rooms of the Garden, where Dre. 7. Fontatne and E Vouderemith acm red prompt a] assustance. On examifation jt w. ought by the physicians that Mr. Conner bad received severe intermal injarica, and ugly gashes were foond on his legs and arms, cansed pre- bably by ths grappling irons or shatteres panes of giaes. Up to a late hour last evenmg he remained wi uLcomeeious, and it was feared that the injuries might prove fetal.’ 11 is eupposed that he struck his breast and head against the wali, and great danger is apprehended from coecussion of the brain. Mr. Conner bad, it is said, been sick for a week previ- oun to his ‘nt. and his nervous system was in conse. quence completely unstrung. The result of yesterday's ascent, should be survive, will probably be a lesson to him in future, and cure him effectually of his ballooing Propentittes. It was his intention to take his wife along with him yesterday, but the size of the balioon not hay- ing been aullicient forfthe a>commodation of two persons, fortuvately prevented the consummation of his rash pur- pose. The entire management of the asocesion seemed to be characterind by a waat of prudence and foresignt. Spor uy alter t] Cy et ppg ay rect was discovered in the balloon, which hed to be sewed om the Ppot, and the inflation was then conducted ia a aud reckless manner. It was siso rumored that ho had taken too mech ballast up, which would cause the irreguiar motion of the balloon, which had only a caps- city of 11,000 cuble feet of gas.

OBrITVvaARY. Samuel Griswold Goodzich, or Peter Parley. Another light of the Amezican literary world has fol- lowed in the wake of Pressoott and Irvicg. Mr. Samuel Griswold Goodrich, the well known ‘Peter Parley,” one of the most populer and verssuile writers iq the Union, breathed his last @bout four o’elock on Weunerdsy after- noon, at bis late residence, No, 88 Ninth street, iu vhis ity. The decease of this distioguished citizen of the Republic of Letters wae most unexpected, and will strike his numerous frieuds and admirers with profound rorrow. For some time back, we believe, ho has evjoyed robust health, and promised to live for mapy years yet to come. On Tuesday afternoon, however, he returnedfrom a abort trip w the country, where he left his family, in very guod health, little expecting that he would never visit them again. The next gay he complained of a alight indis- position, and summoned the family physician to aid. The latter prescribed, bat seoined to Mr. Goodrich’s sickness but « pasting spell of ness. About four o’clock ia the Connecticut, in the yeas 1860, and was consequestiy ia the sixtieth year of bisage. He belonged toa family some. what remarkable for their devotion to literary pursuits, and asa writer atiained most popularity by his admira- bie school books for children, under the weil kaown soubrique! of Peter Parley, which he prosorved to the hour of his deaib. Ho established the firet literary ga- zette published im this country, and also the first aunual, called the Zuken, both of which met with an extonsivo circulation. The deceased also enjoyed « good reputation a8 a political writer, apd im the year 1861 received the appointment of United States Cousal at Paris, Hon. Littletum Waller Tazewell, of Vire sinta. - ‘We pubilehed @ few days ago a brief notice of the death of the Hon, Littleton Waller Tazowell, ef Virgivia, who died on Sundsy last, 6th iuet., at his residence ia Nor- folk, at the ripe ago of eighty-five ycare. He was born in the city of Williamsburg, Va , lo the your 1i74; was educated at William and Mary College; seudied law under the jate Joha Wickham, of Richaoud, aud commenced the practico of his profession ia his native city. Tiis first public service was in the Legislature of Virgi- ula, of which he was a member wheu the Ma tison resulu- tions of 1795 were adopted. The next year ho was elected to Congress, and aided in the choice of Mr. Jeifer- won over Aaron Burr, He declined 4 re-election to Congress, and moved to Norfolk ta 1801, where he at oace commanded a large end lucrative practice, aad was soon distinguished sraong the most eminent mon in the State. At the instance of the President of the United States he argued the Yazoo case with great ability, and added greatly to bis reputa- tion by bit arguments in the Court of Appeals of Virginia, in some of the most importast cases in that court. His iast professional effort was when he appeared lu his coisa- #0] proportions at the bar of the Supreme Court of tho Uniied States, in what was commonly kaown at the time as the “‘Cochinesi”’ case. At this time he was of counsel with Me, Webster, aad opposed by William Fiackney, of Maryland, Is qwas during this exciting trial that Me. Pinckney died suddenly. Perhaps no forensic display@a our couutry has been more distinguished for profound aud sciontilc profes- sioua! lore than his frequent coutests im the Virginia courts with Lis great ‘competitor, tho latc Jadge Taylor. Ia these contests, the principies of civil, manicipal and maritime law were discussed with an abilily which a the time commanded general advoiration, and lifted the acvocutes to ike hightst polut of professional fame.
