PBK-THIS DAY. FROM ST. PAUL'S OALLERT. Whatever other advantages our insular climate B ey be said to pommel over those of more southern latitudes, it certainly cannot claim ►ny peculiar th us for the observation of a solar eclipse. The geeat luminary of the day is with as but a capricious visitor at the best of times, and oar London fogs occasionally wrap him in such an impervious mantle as might pais for a very respectable eclipse, if the astronomers would only consent to usher in one of our best November fogs, with a few of the usual scientific vaticinations. In the case of the obscure tion of this morning, the metropolitan imagination had been worked up to a high pitch of curiosity by the predictions of the astronotnen and the descrip tion. widely circulated of the extraordinary pheno mena that accompanied the great solar eclipse of MI. Mr. Hind, for instance bad told us that when two-thirds, or rather more of the sun's diameter are covered by the moon, or when the sun has assumed the figure presented by the moon three or four days before the change, a decided alteration in the colour of the landscape will be remarked a gradually deepening yellow tinge will creep over it, and about the same time has generally commenced that period of unusual stillness of nature which is frequently a marked characteristic of the absence of sun light. Ten minutes or thereabouts previous to the greatest eclipse the pale or azure blue of the sky will ehaage to violet or purple, the horizon will begin to close in ea every side of the spectator, and shortly after the heavens will appear to descend apn him. This apparent descent of the sky was one of the most astonishing and imposing effects of the totality in l&51 ; indeed on that occasion it was truly appalling. For two or three minutes at the time of greatest °teener tion the planet Venus and several of the brightest stars will probably come into view, while every thing around the observer will have assumed that unnatual gloomy appearance which has never failed to induce feelings of awe. Objects will then appear tinged with dull olive or purple; the clouds, if favourably placed for the effect, will mesa to be almost in contact with him, and the black moon pro jected on the face of the sun, and surrounded by a brilliant halo, will appear to be hardly more than a hundred yards distant." And, in addition, an occasional brochure taught us to expect that people would look cadaverous, that the landscape would arum° an unnatural gloom, that the distant sea would become of a lurid red, and the heavens a sombre purple, while on the northern meridian bands of a light crimson colour would be seen to bound the horizon. All these phenomena may have been in existence, it is tree, but, like the Spanish fleet in the Critic, they were entirely beyond the ken of the numbers who thronged the great stone gallery of St. Paul's C,i , hedral, to see the eclipse of 18.58. The day had been ushered in by storms of wind, such u we usually expect on the approach of the vernal Equinox, and many a one, while rocked by the stormy gale on the previous night, bad dreamt of eclipses, and had painted visionary panoramas in strict accordance with the anticipatory descriptions of the astronomers; bat on sallying out betimes in the morning, it was rather mortifying to perceive that everything in mighty London preserved its normal aspect. The tides of people hurrying to and fro, which never ceases, were running as rapidly as ever; the omnibuses. still lumbered on like so many ambulant parks of artillery; the cabmen and conductors thought only of fares, and the ladies crowded round the shop windows in " the yard" as much abstracted from the great event of the day as Archimedes might have been when disturbed by the soldier in the midst of his last end favourite problem. But It Is said that there were building and planting going on on the eve of the deluge, and that houses were let for a term in Jerusalem while Titus was battering down the walla: and so it was with our great eclipse this morning. A great many, no doubt, assembled at ell points available for a good view, armed with all sorts of stained glasses and other varieties of optical appli ances, and waited patiently while the clouds .gathered closer and closer, literally packing themselves right our line of light, and the smoke from ten thousand ekimnies rose ia murky spirals, gradually fusing itself with the vopoury stratum above. Neither did the stone gallery make the most comfortable observatory in the world. There is an old legend about a Holy Saint, of whom the evil spirit had, during some momentary lapse from virtue ob tained possession, but who, it is said, on hi s roa d "home," which fortunately ley through St. churchyard, obtained permission from his ea- tanic custodian to step into the church for a mo ment to mutter a final prayer. The legend runs that the cunning saint, having once got within the boundary which the spirit could not cross, determined upon remaining in sanctuary, and hence, we are told, the wind which ever since whirls round St. Paul's church, to the great detri ment of delicate lungs end the disarrangement of ladies' toilettes. Oa ascending the gallery this morn sing we could have fancied, without much stretch of imagination, that the saint aforesaid being curious like ourselves to see the eclipse, had ascended the gallery, and that his sentinel had closely followed him, and was performing his old whirl with in crewed effect in a more elevated position. The wind was, in short, a whirlwind, cold and cutting ; the fog was dense, and what was still more vexa tious, we could see that the atmosphere below was comparativelpelear,while there was not the slightest symptom of any of those remarkable features, for which every one, book in one hand, and coloured glass in dee other, was patiently waiting. At twenty minutes to twelve o'clock we got our first glimpse of the eclipse, at which time the clouds with somewhat broken, with semitransparent edges, were pasting over the sun at a rapid rate, and now and then presenting an interstice through which we could see that the moon had just infringed on his lower limb. A small section of a circle might be observed to be quite black on the bright surface, and for that me /Het only during the clay were the coloured grasses rendered necessary. 'Subsequently, the eloeds closed in again, and the patient "watchers on the tower" had nothing for it hut to wrap themselves up from the cold and wind, to read their little book' where alone the more remarkable features of the eclippe'were to be found, and to regret for a moment that we had not the clear elastic atmosphere of Norway in order that they might see that " The appearance of the country, seen through the lurid openiog under the closts, was most appalling. The distant peaks of the Tostidals and Porittfeld mountains were seen still illuminated by the ran, while we were in utter darkness. Never before have we observed all the lights of heaven and earth so entirely confined to one narrow stripe along the horizon—never that peculiar greenish hue, and sarkness in the place of observation, and of excessive distance on the verge of the horizon, caused in this case by the hills there being more highly illuminated as they receded by a less and Is. eclipsed sun." We had, it is true, a gradually increasing gloom, but still nothing unusual in foggy weather, and as the moon drew across the sun, and more and more shut us out from the rays of the latter, there was a peculiar chill like that of nightfall, which was un comfortably perceptible at our elevated position. The gallery seemed at this moment as if completely enveloped in fog, the limits of which were, however, quite definable, as it formed a sort of deep hand, which left the street below almost clear, while the atmosphere above—that is, between us and the clouds—had a comparatively rarified look. The river mast have been gaits clear of vapour, for we could see the little steamers shooting up and down, and the barges gliding lazily along, and even on Southwark-bridge there was no diA- THE EXPRFSR, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1858. ctilry in discerning tte foot-passengers. It became • now almost ludicrous to hear the audible grumbling of the spectators, whose expectations had been so raised by descriptions which, if not exaggerated, certainly did not apply to the region round St. Paul's • but towards one o'clock muter, brightened a little, and a general cheer annonnoed that the clouds had broken, and that the eclipse was plainly to he use. So nearly annular was it at this moment, fa the speckled sky, as to appear complete. ne whole centre of the sun was quite black ; the luminous ring glistened over nine-tenths of ito circumference, and the increasing coldness of the air proved how large a proportion of the solar heat we were being deprived of. A second chance occurred at half-put one, when the observation was said to be at its height, the people had a second good view, and then went away satisfied, being determined to see the re mainder of the eclipse from terra firma. Amongst the company in the gallery were the Dean of St. Paul's, and a party of ladies, who wended to the highest gallery, and remained until the latest moment. On descending into the street we were surprised to see a general absence of earioeity respecting the great event. Business was going on everywhere as ;tonal, and the people in the shops declared that " they had seen much darker days without any eclipse at all." tares and thieves., On the eight in question the prosecutor's shop was made quite safe, and shut after eleven o'clock. I The policeman on duty tried the door and found it ell right. Shortly afterwards a row ensued, and it wee while biking a well-known prostitute and thief up that the robbery was oommitted, for on his return from the polies station, t h e °filter found the shop-door open and the robbery dialed. On Saturday, from information received by City palmate Watkins, 60, and polioe-ronstables Thompson mad of the 24 diviskivn, the prisoners ware apprehend:l, o t some rings found upon one of the women, as well am lea sovereigns sewed up in her stays.

The primmer said, " Oh, VII pay the damage," A person went and looked in the per, and there found a poker with marks on it. The prisoner was a stringer to all pestles connected with the church. On his way to the station the prisoaer told the witness "It was an old more he intended to pay oi4 but it was not so much as he intended to do." The congre gation was much disturbed by primmer's conduct. The prisoner, in answer to Mr. Becton, said he never had a poker. Mr. Lisetlem said the prisoner had gone to the church and beside. breaking the windows had dioturbed the tie.. He should order him to pay the damage, or lar= commit him to prison for two months.

An unsettled feeling prevails with reference to the relations between the English and French governments. The share markets, in which the settlement is in progress, also exhibit weakness. Little business is going forward. . Consols for the Bth of April were first marked 981, receded to 981 to I; and are now quoted 981, " buyers." For money the present quotation is 96* to f. Exchequer bills have been dealt in at 38s. to 425. prem., and India Ila.ids at 265. to Ms. prem. Turkish Six per Cents. are rather flatter, at 1011 to t. Other foreign stocks are quiet. Sales are recorded as follows:—Danish Thee per Cents., 83 to 84 ; Mexican Bonds, 20 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, 461 ; Russian Five per Cents., 110, ex div. ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 911 to 91 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 441, 44; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 261; ditto for account, (29th March), 261 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1011 to 1011; ditto for account (29th March), 1011, 1011, 1011. At Paris to-day (Monday), according to Mr. Ren ter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Beaten opened at 69.30 for the account being about the same u they closed on Saturday. The Blackwell has arrived in the Downs from Melbourne, with 68,080 ounces of gold, worth 272,0001. At the Bank on Saturday there were no bullion ope rations worth reporting. We have ascertained that the 98,0001. taken out on Friday for exportation was really, as already suggested, on account of the Victor Emmanuel Railway loan. A portion of the 95,6001. in gold ex the Sea Breeze was taken for the same purpose. Another remittance on account of this loan will have to be made two or three months hence, but whether in bills or in specie will depend upon the movement of the exchanges. The fact is inte l i - resting, as showing the direct influence which would be exercised upon the money market were new foreign projects to be extensively introduced and freely subscribed to here. At the Bank of England on Saturday the applica tions for money were upon a moderate scale. In the open market the rates for first-class bills remain at 2! to 2i per cent. The steamer Tyne, which is expected at South ampton on Tuesday from the Brazils, is said to have as much as 300,0001. in gold on freight. Of this sum a considerable proportion is believed to consist of sovereigns, which will be sent into the Bank. The imports of the precious metals last week were unusually large. Our list includes 432,8001. (about half silver and half gold) by the Parana, from the West Indies, Mexico, &c. • 189,7801. by the Oliver Lang, and 95,6001. by t he Sea Breeze, both from Melbourne ; 9,9161. by the Tagus, from the Peninsula ; 80,7001. by the Niagara, from the United States; five bags of specie by the Damascus, from Constantinople ; and 22 eases of silver coin by the Flora, from Oporto. The total value of these arrivals is not less than 800,0001. sterling. In addition, about 140,0001. in silver is known to have arrived in the Thames from the Continent. The exports have also been very large. The Custom-house weekly statement of the exports of the precious metals direct from the port of London Includes 17,732 or. of gold and 2,120 oz. of silver, representing a total value of about 89,0001. These remittances were despatched chiefly to Boulogne, Belgium, and the Mauritius. The particulars are as follows, viz.:—Bold coin: to Boulogne, 4,145 ox.; to the Mauritius, 7,500 os.; to Hamburg, 87os. Gold ban: to Boulogne, 2,000 oz. ; to Belgium, 4,000 oz. Silver coin : to Boulogne, 1,400 oz. ; to Hamburg, 720 oz. The Avon has also taken 12,2551. in specie for the Brazils ; the Malabar, 184,8901., nearly all in silver, for Bombay ; and the Tamar, 2,0001., for Alexandria. The ascertained shipments of the week, as officially reported, are thus raised to 248,0001., of which more than one-half is silver. The real feature of interest in the bullion move ment of the week, however, is the large efflux of gold to the Continent The private remittances thither, partly in payment for silver, have comprised about half a million sterling, or the whole of the available imports of gold, in addition to the 96,0001. taken from the Bank on Friday. This week two heavy railway calls fall due. A payment on the new shares of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Company on Tuesday will absorb 250,0001., but may have been partly met in advance. On Monday an instalment of 10 per cent. on the newly-issued 6 per cent debentures of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada will require 116,4201. The Scinde Railway Company have paid into the treasury of the East India Company 81,5001. on account of capital. The London and South Western Railway Com pany invite applications for perpetual Four per Cent. Debenture stock. The amount thus raised is to be exclusively applied in reduction of the deben ture debt, all the pnvileges appertaining to which are possessed by the new stock. Advices from Paris mention • report that the dividend of the Orleans Railway Company has been fixed at 80f. per share, making a total distribution of 90f. for the year 1857. A meeting of the English shareholders in the Alliance Bank is called for the 24th inst., in Lon don, preliminary to the general meeting called for the 29th inst. at Paris. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Illinois Central Railroad Company is called for the 17th March, at Chicago. The prospectus is issued of a proposed Inter national Hotel Company. The sum proposed to be raised is 330,0001., including 150,0001, by mortgage on debentures. The idea is to erect a nest-class hotel in the Strand, including the site of the Lyceum Theatre. The election of directors and officers is not to take place until the share capital, viz. 180,0001., shall have been completely subscribed, and 31. per share paid, when a general meeting is to be called. Meanwhile some gentlemen of position have consented to act as trustees, with the under- standing that, if the share capital be not bona fide subscribed within six months the deposits shall be returned without deduction. Business was otHcially recorded on Saturday in the shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company at 710 and 700 (1,0001. paid). &today was " making np day" in the share mar ket. The rates of "continuation' on English railway stocks were generally very moderate; stock is not plentiful in the market, except in one or two in stances. Midland stock was rather freely supplied, and the rate advanced in the afternoon to about per cent.

The inhabitants of the north-western district of London, more especially those living in the imme diate vicinity of Primrose Hill, were all eager to witness the eclipse. At nine o'clock the weather promised • complete gratification of their cariosity ; but as the morning, advanced, clouds began to veil the heavens, and at half-past eleven, which was about the time for the com mencement of the phenomenon, while in • northerly direction the sky was comparatively clear, the solar view towards the south was perversely fitful, and at intervals altogether obscure. About ten minutes after, a distinct view was obtained of the commencement of the obscuration ; a segment of the sun's disc, far more than etrugb, to swear by, was covered, and for • few minute§ after, with momentary interruptions, the obsettration increased, until about 12 o'clock the dark crescent which began, in vulgar parlance, near the bottom of the sun, and ascended in a slanting direc tion upwards, finally disappeared. From this time nothing scarcely of the eclipse was visible from the north-west district of London, to the great and manifest annoyance of vast numbers of per sons. It was, in fact, altogether very much like a Barmecide feast. The phenomenon *hewed itself for a few minutes, excited the public curiosity for more, and then, ocularly-speaking, all was over; the moon proceeding on her course regardless of the disap pointment of the gazers. St. James's Park, the terrace of Trafalgar-equare, the hills of Greenwich, Blackheath,Hampetead, and every commanding ele vation were studded with persons from an early hour. Several of the Chancery courts suspended operations for an hour or two, in order to enable judges, counsel, solicitors, and all the attendants to witness the eclipee ; bat after what has been stated already, it need scarcely be remarked that the suspension was not justified by the result. On Saturday last an able and iatereeting lecture oa Bclipe•e was gins by Rowland Rill, Prq., in the large room of the Returned Letter-adios, to the clerks of the Cae sarea Post-ollos. It being • half holiday about 400 wen able to attend. The lecture was illustrated with diagrams sad two orreries, showing the crommencement sad tannin nation of the eclipse of the 16th inst., and the revolution of the earth and moon around the sun, together with the paral lelism of the line of the moorie nodes. Mr. Hitt introduced the subject by remarking that, to order to watch the eclipse with greater Interest and advan tage, it was nemseary to obtain some general notions of the ceases of eclipses, and that he was anxious to excite an In terest Is the minds of some present who might not have given much attention to the subject. He commenced with preemaUng some of the simpler theoretical explanations of the phenomena of eclipses, which were practically illustrated by sew of diagrams of the sun and moon prepared for the eeesikea. After having ably explained the nature of the egoodicel awl periodical revolutions of the moon, and the mucosity of the moon's nodes being in or nor to a line drama through the matzo of the sun and moon, in order to melt in an eclipse of the former luminary, be proceeded to give the corm ot total and annular eclipses, es well se the partial ewe pro duced when the moon's latitude was north or south ; showing farther, by means of diorama the northern and southern Oahe of the son partly °booed by the body of the moon. lose of the illustration given by Mr. Hill were milts original, especially one which explained the reason of two spectators observing a different degree in the extent and cha mew of the solar eclipses in proportion to their different,* of latitude producing a difference in the moon's apparent parallax. The illusions which the able leaver made b the more recondite parts of astronomical seisms exhibited a deep end extensive knowledge of the subject which the better fitted him to give a lucid and popular view of this interesting eclipse. In fact, the secretary of the Post-office proved himself to be a man of letters in more senses than one; his language, though of necessity at times of a lechafeal sad philosophical kind, wee throughout elegant and perspicuous. Mr. Hill wee beard by his large audience with the deepest interest end attention, and many who had been merely attracted out of respect and • love of novelty, retired with en interest raised In their minds respecting a subject which Is generally thought to be a theme of study only for the learned professor or philosopher. The apprecia tion of Kr. Hill's lecture was continually exhibited by the audience in warm and enthusiastic plandits. At the termination of the lecture a vote of finlike yes tweed Ly Y. B.

The prices established in the first few days have been fully supported, and for Cape wools there hes been latterly au advance of a penny per lb. Very little was bought for foreign account as compaz with former sales. B•TuRoLt SysjlX•. The announcement made by Mr. Disraeli hut night thlt the differences existing I.etween the Eng lish am: French governments hate been definitively reconciled, was received this morning with great satisfaction in commercial circles, and led to a rim of about per cent. in the funds. The upward movement was assisted by the favourable returns issued by the Banks of England and of Fran" whose united specie stock now exceeds thirty-acs millions sterling. The speculators, however, seemed to entertain an opinion that the important fact stated by Mr. Disraeli requires confirmation and explana tion from Lord Derby on Monday evening. Although the doubts which have prevailed respect ing the solution of the Anglo-French disagreement are considered to have formed the sole obstacle to • considerable rise in the Stock Exchange, a few sales were pressed this afternoon, and the funds at the close were scarcely better than at 4 o'clock yeetsr day. The non-receipt, until after Stock Exchange hours, of the usual telegraphic quotations from the Paris bourse, contributed to induce some hesitation. The markets, nevertheless, were sensibly firmer is character. The fact that speculative sales have al late been pressed upon the chance of political troubles, and that the outstanding speculation for the rise has been materially reduced during the last few week., is a feature of some importance. Consols, which closed yesterday at 96/ to 97 far the Bth of April, opened this morning at 97 to h touched 971, " buyers," receded to 9 61, " sellers, advanced again to 97 to 1, and closed at 97 " sellers.* For money the last price wu 961 to 1.
