Mr. Patrickson bad gone down to the bathing place in a small boat, from whew he got into the water. leaving one of his men on herd. Meantime the boat drifted some way down the stream, in coorequence of which, and the.inexperience of the person at the oar, he was utterly beyond the reach of may. or the least assistance from that quarter.

On Thursday morning Mr. Sadler gave notice that he ironid ascend at five in the afternoon, and the process of inflation was soon afterwards commenced. The arrangements for maintaining order both inside and outside the Cloth-hall gates were good, and all went on well ; bet, for our own part, we should havo wished to have seen less of military array. The wind. however, was still too high for the easy inflation of the balloon, which was blown about so as materially to retard the entrance of the gas. At 6 o'clock the balloon was not half filled, and soon after; by the pressure of several persons against a rope attached to the valve, the spring of the valve was unfortunately strained, and the gas began visibly to es cape in the form of vapour. Mr. Sadler, who had .during the whole afternoon been busily and anxiously engaged, now per ceived that It would be impossible, from the state of the wind. to take up the canopy, the flags, or any of the trappings of the car. At half past six, the balloon being little more than hell tilled, he resolved immediately to ascend. The ear was at tached to the net-work of the balloon, ballast w.. 3 taken in, and the whole machine was removed Into the middle of the yaid. Even yet the gentleman who was to accompany him en tertained hopes that It would be possible for him to ascend, and he took his seat, opposite Mr. Sadler, in the balloon, in bigh spirits. But when the cords were all extended to their greatest length, and the balloon waved high above their heads, (the top being not less than eighty feet above the car,) it was found not to have sufficient buoyancy to carry both gentlemen, together with such a quantity of ballast as prudence required to be taken. The stimuli, therefore, of necessity, quitted the balloon, and. we are able to say, bore his disappointment, which was no small one, like a philosopher. Mr. Sadler now endeavoured to proportion his ballast to circumstances, while the higher pert of the balloon, which, from its upward pressure had drawn the net-work into a regular and beautiful shape, was blown by the wind in circles over the head of the aeronaut, oscillating and waving like the mast of a ship in a storm. At length, the word was given to the men Who were holding the ear, to " let go;" which they did ; bat the quantity of ballast was so great that the machine slid not ascend, bat drew the car along just above the surface of the ground. It was soon seized by a number of persons in the yard (amongst the first by Mr. Green), and brought back to its former position, when a considerable quantity of ballast being heaved out, it was again loosed, and at twenty minutes to seven o'clock sprung into the air, amidst the acclamations of the surrounding multitude. Mr. Sad ler waved his hat in answer to the shouts of the spectators, and was still waving it, when the acclamations were sod denly suspended, as it was seen that the wind was carrying the aeronant with-a swing against the sloping roof of the Cloth-hall. He instantly resigned his hat, and .when the car, in its oblique ascent, grazed with a concussior against the roof, threw his weight on one side' so as to right it, two bags of ballast at the acme time flying out-from the shock. All this was the work of a moment, and no sooner had the car cleared every obstruction, than the intrepid aeronaut snatched up his hat, and waved it in token that he was uninjured, while the crowds below, relieved front their painful. anxiety, gladly answered his salutation. The voyager then stood up on the sides of the car, and drank the health of his friends on the earth. The balloon immediately assumed an upright position, and ascended rapidly, but sti ll more rapidly sailed over the town. in the direction of due east. To tnuse within the Cloth-hall-yard it was soon lost, from the intervention of the buildings; but we were fortunate enough to gain a position sells re we saw it huh 'ing on its steady majestic but rapid flight, on the wings of the wind, till it bent:tea mere speck, and was lost in the distance. All the time it was passi tug over the town, Mr. Sadler continued to wave his hat, but In little snore than 12 minutes he had vanished. The evening was beautifully clear, and the aeronaut would feel no inconvenience whatever from the gale, the balloon being card. tl with exactly the same velocity as the wind, and tliii;4 sailing, as it had been well expressed, " in the bosom of the air." • Mr. Sadler arrived in Leeds early on Friday morning, in a chaise and four. - ... . ASCENT OF MR. OREEN AT LEEDS. This gentleman, who has the honour of having first as cended with the cheap gas made from coal, and thus !educ ed the heavy expense of en aerial voyage, ascended on Friday afternoon, at '2O minutes to fiiur o'clock, from the yard of the White Cloth hail, with a magnificent balloon, •liirty seven feet in het lit. From the calmness of the day, he was enabled to fi the machine with eater, and the process e inflalon was completed within one hour and five irainnt.s. Mr. Breen had given notice of his intention to ascend at three o'clock ; but the company continuing to flow in till half past, it was that time when he sent off the last pilot balloon, and gave the signal of ascent. Being favoured with a calm and almost clomtless day, and basing in consequence completely filled his balloon, the ascent was more imposing than that of Mr. S idler. It was, indeed, as magnificent as any thing of this nature can be, though Mr. Ureen's car had few ornaments. The bal. oon soared, in a nearly perpendicular direction., steadi ly and majestically towards the heavens ; the aero naut, in the meanwhile, with perfect self passeision and cheerfulness, standing erect on the sides of his car, and , vaving his hand above his head. in answer to the loud ac claim of the admiring multitude. The crowds who had assembled both far and near were immense -on buildings, church steeples, hill sides, and open spaces of ground to a great distance. The whole country se-mial to have poitied out its dense population to witness this magnificent spec tacle. After standing two or three minutes Mr. Breen wit down, and waved isis , fior out of the balloon for a cousi .lerable time. With time assistance of a telescope, we atter• wards saw him let out a rope from the car, which continued to hang suspended, for the purpose, we believe, of prevent ing the rotatory motion which the balloon has a tendency to assume. In a few minutes we perceived hilt shoot a bag • of ballast out of the car, and for twenty minutes afterwards we were able to discern the columne•of timid wlaish he dis charged at intervals. He evidently rose a considerable height, and, from the extraordinary clearness of the dry, the bal. loon was distinctly seep with the nuked eye for upwards of 25 minutes after the assent: we kept the machine in sight nearly 10 minutes longer, and saw it shining brilliantly in the sun a little before a cloud interposed and hid it from our sight. It was then in fhe..direcnon of Pontefract, hut rather more to the south-west, and certainly at a much greater distance than that place: Mercury Office, Saturday mortikiF, half past 3 o'clock. We stop the press to state, that Mr. orseu has bad the mis fortune to lose his balloon. After a fine 'come he descended in the neighbourhood of Exey, eine miles northward of Gains borough, twelve from Doncaster, and about forty from Leeds. Here he found the lower current of the atmosphere Wowing a hurricane. On descending to the earth, he threw out the grappling iron in a fallow field, where, after dragging for some distspee, the ear struck violently against a rail, and stu 'tied Mr. Green with the shock ; the grappling iron then caught firmly hold of the same rail. and from the velocity with which the balloon was flying, snapped the cable, and threwthe sero nattfrom a small height to the ground. He was comp'etely stunted by the fall, and severely bruised. The balloon, lightened of all its weight and ballast, though containing only a small quantity of gas, Instantly sprung aloft. and in twenty minutes vanished frame the sight. From the vast elevation which it seemed to attain after the accident , and the great ve locity with which it flew , all hope of seCurrag by following it was lost. _ Mr. Green, therefore, Stough suffering considerable pain, immediately set out, and arrived here at a quarter to two o'clock this morning. He states that his voyage was szoemely delightful, and the elevation be attained upwards of two miles: the thermometer then stood at SS, being tour degrees below the freezing point, and the barometer at IS inches and a bal l. r, p offers rep a reward of Ilff. to any one who re 4to bin balloon without Ott biting sustained very material • THE .

GRAHAM'S ACCOUNT • OP UT! ASCENSION 111 A BALLOON, ON FRIDAY LAST, ram BIRWICK STRERT, 50110. In consequence of the eatraordittary precautions which I bad taken to insure a stipply of gas, and aided by the prompt attention of the Ges Company, who exerted them- ' selves on this occasion in so praiseworthy a manner, the balloon began to fill rapidly, and by three o'clock it was sufficiently inflated to carry .up three persons, on Friday, from the timber yard of hlr.,Snewin, is Berwick .street, Soho. The cause of my not ascending at that period arose from an anxious wish to have the company of my friend, Mr. Sadler, jun. who, through a casualonistake, supposed• it would not ascend till Monday. As delays, however, in these cases are dangerous, I resolved to ascend in company with a friend, of.the name of Harris, being unwilling to keep the spectators any longer in suspense, and having previously ascertained that the whole of the appara tite -was in a stive of safety, we began to cleave the liquid field of ether precisely at a quarter. before, four o'clock, the machine es.entling rapidly and majestic ' ally in an eastern direction, amidst the cheers of 'thousands, who lined the tops of the houses to a great distance, in many cases as far as the eye could reach. should here, however, mention, that. I had provided a cord of 360 yards in letngth, in order, if possible. to keep my self for a time stationary, that those who bad previeesly ridiculed the idea of my ascent might bale ample ocular demonstration'of its actually tal. log places This line was fastened to a large,piece of timber, and I am informed.shat such was the inscriptive power of the machine, that it actual. ly swung this piece of thither roupd, and fortunately slipped its hold without doing any injury. After thin continued to ascend, and in a few moments lost sight of: the assembled multitude. St . Paul's appearing only. us a diminutive building, and the shipping in the river like children's toys. the view was, notwithstanding. incon ceivably grand, and would amply repay any ono for the risk in attempting to ascend. Our course hey over Waterloo and London Bridge, Greenwich, and Blackheath. We had now mounted to a great heiglit,and which we found bytheitarome ter to be nearly a mile; and passing through Below!. we felt it rather cold & damp. The cloud apparently separated, did not stem inclined to reunite; while through the aperture we clearly saw the earth, free from any misty appearance, which some have described as being the case. • •We then changed our course to the Southward, for the space of fiveminutes, and then returned to the saute direction as the first.— Through the powerful rays of the son, the .gas expanded, and we plainly heard it rushing through the safety pipe, with aloud hissing noise; and as it escaped it became as visible as the smoke from a chimney stemming a yellowish brown appearance. I then judged it advisable to pull the valve-line, and notwithstataling the valve thus became open; we still discovered en were ascending, by throwing out small bits of paper. In about half a minute's lime, it was plain that the balloon lead began to descend.in consequence of which we closed the valve.At this time we wereat our grea'est height, which we calculated by our barometer to be two miles and a quarter. My friend, Mr. Harris, observed he felt himself very warm, et irbahly through from. attraction of the solar rays by the machine. And, as fur my otvn part, I must say, that. although at this great height, I felt no extra arose of folJ, but we both felt extreme thirst. At this time also the clouds surrounded us like so many silver. ed mountains, an-I above our heads the atmosphere was serene beyond all idea. We also discovered that the bal loon, car, and ourselves, were each reflected in the most beautifulmanner; with all the different colones on the surL face of one of the clouds—but much diminished in size.— The grandeur and loveliness of this sp-oracle it is impossi ble to describe; we were, imiee.l, with a sto n i s h men t while beholding it, and left the sight thereof with murk re gret, reflecting. as much as our situation would permit us, upon the nowt. 611 works of the Creator, and the idea, of the immense space which on all sides surround ed us. The valve beinx elesett, and the solar rays powerful, we discovered we were floating on an equilibrium—the paper, which we threw out doing the same—only descending by its own gravity. which was very slowly. Soon, however, we began to descend, and discovered the fields in appear ance like a beautiful carpet. bordered in its various shapes, with licit green velvet. Still keeping our easterly direction we soon discovered the English Channel, with South End hearing to the north-oast. The more, Sheerness, and the Diver Medway, to the east. Observing the Medway and Rochester Bridges, and Cole IVood beneath us, adjoining the immense Park of Earl Darnley. While over Woolwich Warren a cannon was tired, thellash and smoke we saw. Still descending, we threw out three bags of ballast, which caused us to skim over the wood, within a hundred yards of the ex tremity. We now threw out the grappling iron, the car touching the tops of the trees, and the balloon then as-, tended, hut probably through the grappling iron taking hold, caused us again to descend. Thus we were drawn between tau trees, as to our greatest surprise the grappling iron took no bold until iv.. had ;mural between them, the nettinZ of the balloon carrying away part of the upper branches. Such was the velocity with which the machine moved, that the grappling iron seemed to pass through the hedge without. any resistance. We nos descended in a turnip field, shimmering along the surface, the car toncb ing the ground. an I thus we proceeded over three or four acres of ground, until, by holding down the valve line, the gas had escaped sufficiently for us to get out, which we did without the least personal injury, being kindly as sisted by Mr. Thomas Clayton. gamekeeper to the Earl of Darnley,and we were immediately surrounded by e numbe of his friends, who rendered their assistance in the most prompt manner, by carrying the machine to the Coach and Hor-es, Stroud Hill, near Rocbester.bridge ; which was about a mile and three quarters from the place of our descent; from whence we proceeded to town. "there we strived safely, in a post chaise, with the maeltine, the tune night—after being in the air nearly fifty-five minutes. In answer to the numerous inquiries of my friends and the public, I beg leave respectfully to state, that it is my intention to ascend in a few days from Beth, by, a particular re-st q estof the principal inhabitants, and shortly after within the limits of the metropolis.

There appeared in an expansive cirro stratus, ou each side of the orb of day, a reflected image of that luminary, about lb degrees distant from it. The one on the left hand, towards the North. seemed two degrees lower then the real sun, and was far less vivid than the one on the right, about two degrees higher than the tree sun.

There has been a great many spots of wheat and oa's reaped during the present week, and same oats have been threshed. Next week, reaming wheat and oats will be pretty genefil ; as die weather is I kely to Continue tine, the week followed may be expected to be the busy harvest week; however, the harvest work in this county will not be finished before October. —(.lgricul‘artd Report of the County of Du6lio.) The wheats are complained of by the farmers in this county, as being deficient or imipy in the ear: the quality, we think, will be uneven, but this deficiency (if any) in toe wheat, wilt be made up in. the crops of oats, which, on the whole, are excellent; so that no scarcity of foal (unless • artificial) need be apprehended in the ensuing year.—(/bid ) Coag,Sstr t l.—We have been this day favoured with. dm following statement of the crop., of the It irony of Duhalluw, by a tient!civan ohm hart, storing the list week, visited several plus of it.—The country pr'sen•s a tna , th more ftvoitrable appearance than could be expected : the improvement during the last ten days exceeding the most sanguine wishes of the farmer. Wheat, thong,' train, looked healthy, and it is considered a fortun Ire ciptam stance that the crop is not heavy .on the ground, as in that case it would have been more subject to damage from the continua rains. Oats and barley in fine order, and will in mai) , parts be ripe for the sickle t•ais week. Patatne Eadeni have mWI recovered, and the lite po , atoes are expacied to be a go., crop. Hay and turf nearly saved, fur the , latter great fears were not long since entertained of a total loss. M yet there had been no corn of any description cnt in that Barony, and the most favonrahle opinion was held gmerally, that if Providence confirmed propi•ious weather for the month of Septemher, the crops wJaid prove al average of even favourable years. In addition to this statement, we observe, that In the Liber ties the wheat harvest lams commenced. Mr. J euttinxe and Mr. Herrington hate b •th cut ext-nsively, and we are happy to learn, that the report of those tientlesnee is extremely favour able; the latter intends to have his wheat in market on Satur day. This day, we hear that cutting of oats and barley in pretty ge..eral, unit ail concur in the opinion, tint with thr.te weeks' propitious weather, there will not be any corn stand ing within the circle of the Liberties.—(Cork Citron ) KILKENNY, September 3.—On Monday last. John lieongh, Esq., commenced reaping a field of twenty-..ine acres of wheat at New Orchard. and never was a finer crop brought under the sic..le in the neighbourhood of this city. Good judges say, the average of tile wh le of this large field is held overrated at eight barrels per acre. Should toe weather hold up for another week, most of the wheat and barley in this county will he cut down. The oals and potatoes look ex tremely well, and ereseut appearances promise an abundant harvest of all the fruits of the earth ; nor will, there be sty serious deficiency in the hay harvest in this county, as was feared ; whir there will be *more abundant supply of straw than wo have had for several years. The reports from every part of the united kingdom are of a favourable nature, and there can be little doubttliat a paragraph in the Courier sta:- ing that the result of the inquiries of Ministers is, that wheat will be 70s. per quarter (about 50s. per barrel) before Christ mas,•is a mere trick of corn factors, who hold large stocks of old grain.—(Leinster Journal.)
