TWO BALLOON ASCENTS.

SOME excitement was caused in-the vicinity of Woolwich hy the appearance of a large, balloon 'about 6.25 on- Monday evening. Captain Morton, ~the Alexandra Palace aeronaut, ascended from that place at 5.15 in his baltoou' "Champion," passing over the entire East-end of London. Oncros9ing over tbe Thames, and finding he had an opportunity of effecting a descent-within; the precincts of the Arsenal, he deter-' mined-upon making the attempt. ' By a little good management he succeeded in landing his balloon on a small piece of grass land in the Arsenal. Be was assisted by the police and a number of artisans, who quickly ■ assembled and gladly rendered their valuable aid m packing up the machine. As'this is the first ballobii that has ever descended within the Royal Arse nal, it uaturally caused a deal os commotion to some thousands of spectators Outside the grounds:--1 ■ > - '■' The highest altitude attained was 4,500 feet, and at: that height ihc aeronaut passed through a snowstorm; several claps of thunder were distinctly, heard, and the atmosphere appeared to be iv a very dis; turbed conditiou. The ascent was made under the auspices of the Balloon Society.of Great Britain, and the aeronaut was accom panied by Mr G.E. Oakes, Dorking. , ... ■Mf'Le'. Fevre,: President of. the Balloon Society, writes to ths '' Daily News":— " Accompanied ,by Mr Cobb, of - the Photo-' graphical Department of-the Royal Military. College, Woolwich,. Mr; Barker being the aeronaut I .. ascended .. from . the Lillie''Rndgo Grounds at 6,45 p.m. on Monday afternoon. In a .very few minutes the balloon was ainbug the clouds, and when they cleared away after an interval of about twenty minutes, I per ceived we Were sailing over the Thames midway between the Albert and Battersea.

(We threw out here three of Mr Sparrow's homing pigeons, and the birds dew round and round the baloon for several minutes, evidently be wildered by the novelty of the situation, be fore-they disappeared. Our next observation disclosed our position to be over Battersea Park, and that we w«!re 'uhder the influence of anotbeirsir' current. Throwing out bal last, in ten minutes we attained a height, as shown by.our : aueroid, of two miles, passinjg successfully through heavy showers of rain, hail, aud snow.

McMillan (Chairman), t, jSiacffarlane, A. Heather, T. Peacock, T. iiorrio,- Hr-B. Morton, G. Aickin fc 1?. Larkins, Geo. Harper, C. B. Stone, R. H. SteveflsoD, F. Hull, J. Lamb and Webb. ' | Drawbacks.—The following;report on this subject, by the Committee, was sub mitted:—"Your Committee have considered the matters contained in the resalutions referred to them, and have to report that the present system by which payment of drawbacks is inade'only after the'return of the vessel with certificates that-the goods have been landed is unsatisfact'6'ry'and pre judicial to the trade of this report. They re commend the Chamber to endeavour to alter the same for the following reasons:—(l) That the delay in payment of drawbacks involves loss of interest, on the money; (2) that a larger insurance than would other wise be necessary has to be effected on gopds exported; (3) that the system of receiving signatures to debentures is prac tically no check, as they are usually signed on the word •of the Captain of the vessel at the island ou which" he is trading by nnyoue_ supi posed to have a pod tion and without enquiry; (4) that the system is not applic able to much of the Auckland island trade on which parts of the contents of cases aro left at different islands ; (5) that the facili ties for smuggling which existed in tbe early days of the colony are considerably lessened by tbe increase of population along the coast, and the-.present system does not provide any efficient check against that ;..eyil; (6) the difficulties placed in the ~way of buyers • from the Islands ate such as to encourage trade with Sydney in preference to this port. Your Committee consider. -for« -theso and other leasons, the Government should be induced to \ withdraw any restric tions; that tend to frustrate the development of New Zealand commerce with the Islands bf the Pacific for which the colony possesses special natural advan tages. In addition to the , alteration of ; 'the"'cystera of ' payment ■', the Committee Recommend that the following charges' Should' bo made on tbe rate of drawback. Upon these grounds the Governs, nient should ,be .uiged to give effect to these "suggestions, and the, Committee recommend the adoption of the resolutions submitted to tha list meeting of the Cbamber." , ',".,,; ,'" '""..
