To Our Readers.

Two weeks since, we we're favored with an

owing to its length we were unable to publish
it that week. The writer asked the privilege
of revising the article, and would return it

But he has failed to do SO.
We make this statement that our readers may
under stand why the article does not appear
If the writer will furnish It in reasonable time
we will publish it. The withhOldingO of the ar

such cases. We presumed too much on the

FLUSHING, June 10.


Wise, in his 1854 Balloon ascension, had
narrow escape on Friday. He started from
the Crystal Palace at 81 O. 'cIock-in bound

power. The balloon swayed to and fro like
furious elephant, and all around, the light was

light, while below, the ocean was in foam
from the storm. He could not stay in that
cloud country long; the valve was open, and
soon he began to descend. Flushing vas nigh

effect; but the jar broke the rigging, and up

He did this, knocking out one of his teeth, and
slightly bruising his jaw, The balloon dashed

CLEVELAND FLOUR MARKET.-The -four and
wheat market was very much depressed on
Saturday, and prices were merely nominal for
wheat, without any transactions. The largest
sale of -four did not exceed 100 bbls, and pri-
ces ranged from s8.87k $50. for superfne
to extra. Dealers evince no disposition to op-
crate; and ii is not likely that this state OF
things will cease till after harvest, except in
the event of verJ unexpected news from Eu
rope. Prices fuctuate for time. they may
even temporarily advance but it is scarcely
possible that they can long maintain their pres
ent standard.
