LOWE ON BALLCONING. His Views on the Transatlantic Voy- age—Opinion of Protessor Wist—How to Succeed and How Not to Succeed— Air Navigation in General—The Great- est Voyage on Record. A HERALD reporter has had an interview with Professor T. 8. C. Lowe, the great aeronaut, with the following results :— ReporTER—Professor, I suppose you are familiar With the preparations now being made for the transatlantic balloon voyage? Professor Lowe—Somewhat; buc my limited time has prevented me from investigating the matter very closely, RePoRTER—What do you think of the ability of the aeronauts—Professor Wise in particular? Professor Lowr—I consider Professor Wise as theoretical rather than practical, I think he can sail a balloon meh better than he can construct one, There are many who are able to navigate the ocean and yet cannot build aship wherewith to | doit, Asfor THE OTHER AERONAUT I know but little of him, Reror?veER—Do you not think thelr apparatus is properly constructed and of the right materials? Protessor Lowg—I know nothing of it, excepting | from the descriptions I have read, From these [ should suppose that suMcient attention had not been paid to the securing of a coat impervious to gas, The network, I also think, is constructed of unsuit- able material, As for the material of the balloon proper, that should have been silk, but I euppose it would be difficult to obtain the right quality in the necessary quantity. in addition to this, it would have greatly increased the cost, Fora lew voy- delphia and inflated it, and soit made a success- tul voyage with four passengers and @ carrying Weight of ten tons, The voices of the croakers were complete! silenced. This experimental voyage was on June 1860, the day of the Great Eastern’s arrival at New York. A full ac- count of it appeared in @ near date of the Phila- delphia Dears Rerorrer—You have made @ great number of ascensions, have you not ? Professor Lowk—I have kept no record. I made about two thousand in Central Park, over three thousand for the beet during the war, and several hundred longer and more extended voy- 8, EPORTER—What has been your highest altitude ? Professor Lows—Iwenty-three thousand five hundred feet, near Utica, N. Y. It was the highest limit I ever reached, Ihave closely approximate’, but never exceeded this height. army, the ater number of ascensions ranged in altitude rom five hundred to two thousand feet, although Ihave frequently cut loose and passed over the enemy’s works at a distance of two miles, return- ing in a reverse curreat, HOW DID HE BVER Do IT? RePorTer—Did not the rebels endeavor to de- ener 758 and your balloon? Professor Lowg—Yes, irequent attempts were made. I haye several shot which were directed against the balloon, but they never hit it. REPORTER—Did cone not at one time make an extensive and rapid trip? Professor Lowe—Yes, I made in 1861 the quick- est time and the longest trip on record, DEPARTMENT OF PARKS.

FREEMAN, The President of the commission was authorized to have some alterations made at the Arsenal in Central Pars so that the offensive odors trom the bears and wolves might be obviated. Some com- plaints had deen received from citizens about this nuisance. The Landscape Architect was oracred to prepare plans for animals of the Herbivore and Carnivorw Classes to be placed in separate build- ings. The report of the engineer, John Bogart, was received as to the asphalt pavement in the City Hall Park. He said that all the pavement known as “Fisk pavement” was in an unfit condition tor use, and recommended that some new pave- ment be used, the cost of which would be about $20,000. ‘The President of the Board announced the {ol- CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION. Three Additional Deputy Collectors To ted—Five Applications for One of the most important examinations under the civil service code was held yesterday at the Custom House in the apartments assigned to this purpose, the results of which—provided the con- testants succeed in passing the fiery ordeal of the knotty interrogations put to them—will have the utmost influence in expediting business in the Cus- tom House, and tend to accommodate the large and constantly increasing trafic of this port of entry. It has been @ standing complaint among importers that, owing to the shortness of help in the Custom House, their business could not be attended to as rapidly as desired, Collector Ar- thur readily realized the fact, and at once took action in severing this gordian knot of dissatisfac- tion by at once applying for and receivin authority from the Secretary of the Treasury to appoint three additional Deputy Collectors, which, when ap- pointed, will constitute a force of seven working deputies, all of whose duties were heretofore trans- mitted by four, The same ciel peatens of Deputy Colectors discharged the duties devolving upon the Customs Department in 1860, and it is only a mar- vel, considering the immense increase of ness here since that period, how the comparatively in- significant number of employés could do justice to the tremendous trade transacted in this Yureau. Under the civil service rule Collector Arthur caused the several applicants for ypramno tien tors amoug the Officials now employed under him to undergo a competitive examination. For the posi- tion of Deputy Coliector only five appeared. were gentiemen who held different places in the various divisions, and seemed to be very intelll- pentane practical men.

Allen Thinks Irving Is a Lunatic and Liar, and the Thieves Believe Him To Be an “N. G.” How Jourdan Got a Clew from a Family of Tron Dogs. The revelations made in yesterday’s HERALD anent the death of Mr. Nathan, and the knowledge possessed, by the late Superintendent Jourdan, casting suspicion upon the man Irving, now im custody in California, have not only astounded the detectives, but mistified them so much that they hardly know what conclusions to come to, Many of the detectives—who had all along sup} d thas they were in the confidence of Jourdan, their chief, now that the HERALD has supplied the efidence of the two witnesses used by him, and its ectness® has been VERIFIED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT, who had an interview with the living one—sce that they were not taken into his confidence, and, con- sequently, new theories have been suggested to their minds, The Superintendent still carefully conceals his intentions as to sending for Irving, but it ia be- heved that he has decided to do so as quietly aw Possible, and if his statements prove false convict him of one of the many burglaries he has been con- nected with, and send him to prison, where he cannot prey upon the public, as that other fraudu- lent “confessor,” William Forrester, was sent where he can do no harm, If Irving proves to know nothing of the case, as many suspect will be the result, a greater mystery than ever will have been thrown around the case, and people will ba: forced to the conclusion that THR TESTIMONY OF MES, JOHNSTON and the male witness is false. It 1s certain that Jourdan attached great importance to it, an@® worked on the case, believing that Irving had a. hand in it or knew much about the job, Mr. Jour- dan was too shrewd a detective and had too much. infuence over the thieves to be easily imposed upon. He had known these witnesses for years, and ifany information came into their possession. from contact with burgiars, &c., it is pretty certain. that he could wrench it irom them. An instance ol this occurred in the Ocean Bank robbery, Mrs. Jounston had removed from No. 84 Park street t No. 7 Elizabeth street, where many of these cracks- men remained her lodzers. One night Officer Don- obue, of the Sixth precinct, found a trunk belong- ing to Mr, Martin, of the bank, on the sidewall in front of No.7; an examination of it showed it to be addressed to Jourdan. Suspecting that it might be a dead infant, he carried it to the station house, where Jourdan opened it and found a large amount of the bonds stolen from the bank.
