IT.--Tile rn harvest has ccimmenc.d generally in this neighbourly -lid, with the most favourable prospei t of an abun dant crop. In the memory of the oldest inhabitant the cornfields never appeared finer, or an-re luxuriant ; the CUTS are remarkably large and filled %%fill most excellent grain. No smut, rust, nir mildew, is discernible any where. The weather, during the last week, has been envisuolly fine. and there is every reason to hope for its continuance. From all parts of the country we (earn, with pleasure, that them never was known a more favourable prospect of abundant crops. Potatoes are expected to be veiy abundant, and, of coats''. very ches p this season. There never was a year when more %ere pianteri. in s 1 parts tit the c nmt rv, and every AA here they appear very promising. So abund in they are likely to prove, that in man) places, elcept for feeding, they will scarcely pay the farmer. THE NATIONAL Itt;C;ISTER. 4SCENT OF MR. SADLER. Ltvzst root, Avis. 12.—This afternoon the inhabitants of this town were gratified with the long-oxpected ascent of this intrepid aeronaut. Several hours before the time fixed for the ascent, crowds of people ' hid occupied all the lanes and ov....nnes leading. to the ground, which was a convenient er.c:oseel field, near St. Domingo, about a mile and a half from the town. At twelve the town was nearly deserted ; and the shops being almost universally shut, it wnte the aspect of Sonday, but with scarce y a person in the streets. The balloon was inflated within the encle-ed area, so.(ieli was pattitioned off tutu three divisions, for the admission of spectators, at fixed prices. Here upwards of ..:000 persons were :.sseniblvd. The operatien of tiling the balloon com menced about ten o'clock. and after it was inflated, the car was at tached 10 it, and Mr. Sadler placed bitwelf in his vehicle amidst the acclamations of the sl'ectators. The ascent which took place at half-past two, was sublime; net ropid. but deliberate and graceful ;exhibiting the beautiful.proportions of the whole vehicle, aid the decorations of the car. The wilosk took ;-.Blr-usint in a south-cast direction towruds Knowsley-Park; but as it WI:S ti 't Mr. Sadler's intention to travel far, he attained his highest altituee in about twenty mintees, at which time the balloon itself was recluctrl to a very diminutise site, and the car was totally The appro. ch of the balloon to the' earth was spon after apparent, sltd the descent was gradual and majestic. We suppose the actual desc,iit to have taken place in the neighbourhood of Knowsley T PArk, *bout four miles front this.—(literpoo/ Courier.) EXECUTION OF DAWSON. The report of this culprit being reprieved was unfounded, he suf. *red the sentence of the law on Satirday at I`2 o'cl.)clt, at the top of Cambriege Castle, amidst a surrounding assemblage of at least twelve thousaid persons. Previous to his condemnation, and for a day or tvri alter, Dawson's conduct w.is unruly and boisterous : but through the unreolittill ex nortationsvf the Cluipldin, he became reconciled to his unhappy late, and spent his whole time in devotion. He made an unsolicited declaration of the whole poisoning business, from the lute of phy sicing Ruhens, at Bright'n, to the poisoning at New. waiter, in 1811. The parting s.sth his wile on 1 bursday was an affecting scene. She is a respectable woman ; and the prisoner seemed more affected at the recollection of his fofiner indifference to her, than at approaching death itself. He ascended the platform with fortitude at 12 0.14x1, and after spending twenty minutes ist prayer, he was launched into eternity. in his last moments ' he declared that he never swain to kill, but merely to prevent the horses from winning.
