A NIGHT AMONG THE CLOUDS.—In a communica-
tion received by Mr. Webster, the secretary to the Derby
Arboretum, thecelebratirl areiraut. Mr. If. Corwell, writes
as follows :--'• After momdieg from the Crystal Palace ea
Monday, I had to go off to Dudley Castle, where I made
another trip 041 Wednesday. 1 had a seoood interesting
voyage the same night by moonlight. After landieganz
era at Tamworth, in W arwickshire. I b
ras ra, partook of the hospitality of a farmer, mil
started again at eleven o'clock, the mom being at the fall
and a tine sky overhead. My object was to work the bal-
loon up to Loudon, the wind being fair. and to ta* a
night among the clouds lighted up and beautiful as May
were that truly serene sight. 1 was throe hours aloft, bat
at two a.m. the wind chopped rutted to S.W., and, as it
was not my intention to go back, I descended and found
myself at Halletkm, in Northamptonshire, not far from
Ilaventrv."

TItC CROPS IN YORKSHIRE. —The crops are
lookiug well in many parts of Yorkshile. A little more
rain would be very acceptable to farmers. The chief
part of the mangold crop has been got into the grouml.
Wheat is much better than it was expected to be, and it
is coming up very nicely, though in some planes this favour-
able report is not bums out. The late severe frost, have
somewhat interfered with potatoes, but present appeareams
indicate an abundant crop. On the whole, the prospect* of
the agriculturist may in this district be regarded as cheering.
