It will be observed that in 1846, 1847, and 1848 there was
a
falling off in the amount as compared with 1845, and the pre-
ceding year. That was attributable to bad trade and in-
sufficient employment; but it is gratifying to observe that
there was an improvement in 1849 over the best of the pre-
100,000i.
cedA'inig. Pyeuairtsevoifnneharalsy communicated to the newspapers
the following account of his balloon ascent on Sunday :—" I
soon reached the clouds, and rapidly passed above them, but
I did not rise co high by far as on the last occasion, and yet
my horse bled from the mouth and rostrils. This emission
of blood shows what was previcusly proved to me by a num-
ber of experiments, namely, that the beds of the atmosphere
do not progressively decrease : in other words, that the baro-
metric column, after having fallen to 4,000 metres, may rise
to 6,000 metres and even more. In passing through the
clouds, I was not, as on the last occasion, covered with con-
gealed vapours; the electric state of the atmosphere was in
equilibrium. I arrived at a quarter-past Eix between the
commune of Nozay and that of Marceussis, and was Tell
kindly received by M. Erizon, of Bellebat, in the latter corn.

ORNITHOLOGY.—A beautiful specimen of the night
jar, or " Goat-sucker," was slant in the parish of Wytham a
short time ago, and is now in the hands of Mr. John Evans,
of Bourn, for preservation. It is a rare bird in that neigh-
bourhood, although found in the southern counties, and is
migratory, arriving in England in May and leaving in Sep-
tember. It derives its name of Goat-sucker from a super-
stition of universal prevalence that it fastens upon the feet of
goats and cows, which RfICIWAITIQ become dry and dirt:Wed.
