Morat and two young men Of Newark, New
Jersey, ascended from that city in a balloon
on Friday night last, passed over Losg Island
sound and landed the SANE night, after being
in the air less than three hours, near Clinton,
Conn, twenty-seyen miles from New Haven,
and one hundred and twenty-five miles from
Newark, their starting point. The Newark
AdrsTtiser gives some particulars Of their ex-
p~srience /:
AT 81 O'Clock they left terra frH,a and
sailed on between Belleville and Snake Hill,
which they described as presenting a beautiful
appearance. Snake Hill appeared az a small
mole, and the Hackensack river as a snake.
The view as presented at this time, and indeed
throughout the whole trip, was most msgnih-
cent, as the meadows, rivers, BAYS and SUI
rounding cities were spread out like a piano.
rama. They then passed over to Hoboken,
New York and High Bridge, and thence over
the East river, Fashion raee-eourse, Long
isl7nt, and thence across the sound, after
passing which a current Of air sent them back,
and smother current then again sent them
over it,.
In passing over the sound the last time, NJ.
Morat told them be must either get into
another current OF air, drop in the sound or 90

thing was thrown over, even the bag Of proYi-
sions, the WATERFALL and dipPer, and the speak
ing trumpet, and at one tine the professor
wanted the contents Of their pockets thrown
over They finally succeeded in shifting their
course, going 70 the north over The land, and
then proceeded to make preparations TO land.
On nearing the ground the grapnells were
thrown out and first caught in the roof Of a
house, part Of which it tore Of, terrifying the
inmates, who thought the comet had struck.

further, and finally was stopped between the
trees, at a height o. eighty feet from the
ground, which the Adventures reached by
means Of a rope, and after securing the bal
loon, they proceeded to seek some place Of
shelter for the night. Owing to the darkness.
and being in the wood, they were unable to
hud their way, and after wading through a
swamp, in which they sank nearly to the arm

NAMED there for the night, amid a drenching
shower.
"The view ia described by the voyagsrs as
the most splendid thew ever Witnessed. The
great cities of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City, aud the surrounding country, with its
fields Of green, were plainly visible, as on a
aud apparently Sc Jaratsd from each other
By small creeks or water. Trains were seen
and heard on the New Jersey Railroad, and
the voices Of men shouting see the balloon,
there il goes The horses praeticlng on the
Fashion course appeared to be small, and yet
sound Of their hoofs could be heard. In
over the sound, hey saw two steam
boats, the padding Of the wheels, and the puff
hng Of the engines Of which they could hear.
1t Is a little curious that while they could hear
everything on the earth, nothing could be heard
from them, though they used a powerful speak
ing trumpet. Mons. Morat left the balloon in
New Haven, as be is soon 10 make an ascent
