My Lord,—You will take the earliest opportunity of assuring Count Walewski that her Majesty's advisers, on their accession to office, are earnestly desirous of main• taining in their integrity those close and friendly rela tions which, since the restoration of the empire, have marked the alliance between France and Great Britain, to the great benefit of both countries.

Your lordship will assure Count Waleweki that her Majesty's Government entertain the fullest conviction that his Excellency, in his despatch of the 20th January, written at a moment when the just in. dignation of France and of the world had been ex cited by the late atrocious and cowardly attempt upon the life of his Imperial Majesty, and under the impression that the laws of England were insuffi cient to protect his Imperial Majesty against a repetition of such attempts upon the part of foreign refugees resi dent in Great Britain, had no other intention than twat - of pointing out to her Majesty's Government what ap -peered to be a source of danger to France, and inviting their attention to the supposed defect. If such has been from the first the hope of her Ma jtyle'ws Government, that hope has been completelyski has spontaneously given, as reported in year ;realised by the fall and frank assurances which Count W despatch of the 23d of February, of his astonishment and regret - at the interpretation put upon certain phrases in as a his despatch to Coact Persigny of the 20th of January, "astonishment that his meaning could have. been mis understood, and regret that he should be believed, with his knowledge of England, capable of applying as a ge nerality, an imputation which the context of his despatch ought, he thinks, to have proved could only have been intended for a definite class of strangers." Though her Majesty's Government have, from the first, entertained the belief that the erroneous construc tion had been put on Count Walewski's despatch, they receive with the highest satisfaction the voluntary repu diation, so honourable to his Excellency, of the meaning which he believes to have been attributed to him ; and in the same spirit of candour, they desire to call his aattention , expregsloin which really have pro z , du/aid an itafarourabli leopieesion 012 the public _opinion, of this country. • - _ • _ - Your lordship will therefore remark to Count Walew ski, that his Excellency, in stating that the attempt which has just providentially failed, "like others which have preceded it, was devised in England,"—in speak ing with reference to the "adeptes de la dinsa,gogie" established in England—of "assassination elevated to doctrine, preached openly, practised in repeated at tempts,"—and in asking " whether the right of asylum should protect such a state of things, or contribute to favour their designs and their plans," has net unnatu rally been understood to imply imputations, not only that the offences enumerated are not recognised as such by the English law, and may be committed with impu nity, but that the spirit of English legislation is such as designedly to shelter and screen the offender from •punishment.

M. le Comte,—Lord Cowley has delivered to me s despatch which has been addressed to him by her Bri tannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Fe. reign Affairs, dated the 4th of March, and of which you will find a copy annexed hereto. Her Majesty's Government are persuaded that bad Count Waleweki known, when his Excellency held with your lordship the conversation to which I hays adverted above, that suck construction was put upon certain por tions of his despatch of Jan. 20, he would have had no difficulty in adding to the assurance then given the fur ther assurance that nothing could have been further from his intention than to convey an imputation injurious alike to the morality and the honour of the British na- The Government of the Emperor congratulates itself on the friendly dispositions of the new Cabinet, and sees, with sincere satisfaction, that the present Ministers of the Queen, like their predecessors, are under no mis• apprehension either as to our intentions, or as to the grave nature of the facts which we have signalised to the Government of her Britannic Majesty. The Government of the Emperor, M. le Comte, flatters itself, that far six years, its whole conduct haspreeladed the suspicion of its wishing, in any way, -- to wound the dignity of the English nation ; and his Majesty thi nks that he has seized every opportunity durin g peace , as well as during war, of drawing close r the bonds between the two people. The Emperor, as you are aware, has always entertained this profound conviction, that the reconciliation of two great nations, safer ages of anta gonism, could be slicers and lasting only on one condi- tion, namely, that the honour of one should never be sacrificed to the honour of the other. Lion. All the offences which his Excellency enumerates, on being proved to the satisfaction of a jury, subject the person convicted to the infliction of penalties more or less severe ; and if cases have been brought to the notice of the Government of his Imperial Majesty, may appear to have been overlooked by her Maj.-sty's Government, it is not to be doubted but that the advisers of her Majesty, in abstaining to prosecute, have been influenced by motives of discretion quite consistent with an earnest desire to repress such offences. _ . . . Subßequently, however, to the late atrocious attempt, proceedings have been instituted in two cases—one for complicity in the late murderous attempt ; another for a publication " elevating assassination to doctrine i ll ' and another similar case is now under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown. Such sentiments, attested by the constant acts of the Government of his Majesty, are a sufficient answer to the erroneous interpretations of which our communica tion of the 20th of January has been the object. Be. sties, what has happened ! I begged you to signalize to the Government of her Britannic Majesty, the existence in London of a sect of foreigners which, in its publications and its meetings, elevates assassination to doctrine, and which, in the space cf six years, has sent into France not less than eight asew , sins to strike a blow at the Emperor, as is proved by the declarations of the jury. All these attempts, like that of the 14th January, have found the Emperor impassive ; putting his trust in the protection of Heaven, his Majesty views with profound disdain the attacks which are directed only at his person ; but the country has shown itself to be deeply moved by them, and as, at the time when I addressed my despatch to you, no repressive measure had been taken in London, public opinion in France, without taking into account the nature of the institn nor the motives of discr e ti on o f which Y uch audacity should h ave remained was alto. uLtiZrdgedoMftEhalanmtgelsasobnudmr, 's communication sp ea k s, unpunished. Moreover, the character of our proceedings was laid down to you in the clearest manner by the Emperor himself, who wrote to you towards the end of January " I do deceive myself as to the little efficacy of the measures which could be taken, but it will still be a friendly act, which will calm much irritation here. Ex plain our position clearly to the Ministers of the Queen; it is not now a question of saving my life, it ie a"H• tion of saving the alliance." The Emperor, M. le Comte, has never intended to demand the su p por t o f f ore i gn Governments to increase his personal security. A more elevated sentiment, an interest greater in his eyes, have guided him, namely, the maintenance of the good relations existing with the neighbouring States. My despatch of the 20th of January had no other ob ject than to signalise a state of things which was to be regretted ; but I carefully abstained from expressing any opinion as to the measures calculated to remedy it ; and I have been unable to understand hew certain expros sious of that despatch have been so misinterpreted: It is, besides, unnecessary for me to tell you that it never entered my thoughts to contdder English legislation as designedly sheltering the offender, and, to borrow Lord kalmeabury's own words, as screening him from punish , meat. It is hoped that these considerations will satisfy Count Wal:wski that either his expressions have been greatly misunderstood, or that they have been made under an erroneous apprehension of the state of the law in this country, and that, in either our, hie Excellency will not hesitate, with that franknees.which has charm,- tensed his conduct, to offer an explanation which can not fail to remove any existing misconception. Your lordship will read this despatch to Count Walewski, and leave a copy with his Excellency.—l am, OEN, _ (Signed) MALMESBURY, No. 3. EARL COWLEY TO TRE EARL OF MALRESSURY. (Received Marsh 9.)

With regard to the rest of the despatch, Count Walewski said that he would return an answer to it in a day or two through the Emperor's Ambassador in London ; but that he had no hesitation in stating, onc e, that nothing could have been further f rom at his intention than to convey, in his despatch tion whatever on Nay,ze)ralwity or of the the 20th of January to Count P ers i honour of the g ll Yt any imputa tion w uld rit g te with n on further, o other and assure me that th a t despatch wa British nation. object tha n t o s i gna li se act s bo the tranq u illit y of France , and proceedings dangerous e aFon to b li eli i e s ve E went had territories.Britishhr which the Imperial Govern carrying o n within the were e lency admitted that he had used strong languag e, but it had s been solely with re fertile') to those acts and proceeding.

Business was going on ev er y w h ere ss usual, and the people in the shops declared that " they had seen much darker days without any eclipse at all. GREENWICH. The morning set in fine with but little cloud until the phenomenon commenced, *hen the sun was lost to view, heavy clouds gradually covering the sky. At noon for abut two mitintes the sun's crescent became visible through the' cloud ; and again was seen at half-past 12 o'cloci. After this time the landscape bec 'me of a brownish tint, and at one o'clock its htie was not unlike that expe rienced previous to a heavy storm of thunder and rain. A minute or two after the totality it became perceptibly lighter, and the sun's crescent was again seen through the clouds for a few minute; and then again was lost to view, and seen no more. The birds were singing merrily throughout the occurrence, and animals seemed no way disturbed. The subjoined accounts from the country make it evident that the eclipse took Pace upder circum stances which gave much the same amearanca as it presented in the metropolis : DONCASTER. At Doncaster the sky was overcast with clouds throughout the period of the eclipse, and none of the expected phenomena were observable, except a darkening of the earth and air, not exceeding at any time that 'which usually accompanies k heavy thunderstorm, and, a. peculiar' sties atmosphere. Type. of the smallest size could be read with nearly ordinary facility at any time dur ing the obscuration. The Great Northern Com pany had a special train this morning to Peter borougb, one of the central points of observation indicated by the astronomers, and a considerable number of persons, including many scientific men from Leeds, Sheffield, and the north, availed themselves of the opportunity afforded of getting within the most favourable range of vision, ways. A mile off, on a distant chimney or church spire, was said to be the Royal Astronomer, Mr. Hind ; flying detachments of astronomers were dis tributed in-various parts of the village. It seemed impossible that the eclipse could possibly escape so many earnest and vigilant observers. But the sky, that bad become overcast at ten ; at eleven was gloomy with lowering clouds ; at twelve threatened rain, with a muttering, gusty wind, which we failed not to recognise as having attended the approaching occultation of the last eclipse, and at about seven minutes to one fulfilled the threat with . a slight patter, that called for the speedy enveloping of the brighter instruments or observation in their snug covering. One o'clock drew near. Darkness—not the blackness of night —not the greyness of evening—but an absence of light, a-positive visible darkness, settled down upon. the lindScape. At lb. Om. Bs. the darkness was at the greatest point ; but an instant, scarce a second afterwards, and, a. 3 if a curtain had been lifted, the air became light, and so gradually lighter until the full day. All this while the sun could not be seen, and the phenomena presented were, therefore, the mere re markable. All had happened just as predicted. J. and C. Cocks, Reading, sole Manufacturers.

LEEDS. Notwithstanding that the weather was dull and heavy the eclipse yesterday was well seen at Leeds for the latter half of its duration. About 12 o'clock at noon the heavy slate-coloured clouds which covered the sky ‘ began to be dissipated with asmart current of wind from the south-west, and in the breaks of the clouds the eclipse was observed at frequent intervals, the thin edge of the clouds ex cellently serving the purpose of a screen from the glare of the small crescent of the tun then exposed, so that the observer could witness the phenomenon with the naked eye without the aid of coloured or smoked glass. At 20 minutes-past 1 o'clock the clouds had been so far, driven away that the suu's disc, with the shadow of the moon upon, it, could be clearly seen and watched, with slight interrup tions, from passing "rack" to its termination. The phenomenon excited much attention amo ng all classes. There was nothing like darkness even at the time of the sun's greatest obsceration, and had the eclipse not been ioretold,_ it might have passed off without the unlearned having at all marked the event. PETERBOROUGH. Three trains from London, and several from the north, brought a good number of passengers here and to Warrington Junction, four miles nortk of Peterborough, to see the eclipse. The last train, one from Manchester and Sheffield, with about 256 passengers, arrived at about a quarter to 1 o'clock after stopping a few minutes at Warrington Junc tion, where upwards of 1,000 people were assem bled. The weather was very unfavourable, the sky being overcast, with rapidly moving clouds. A mere glimpse or two of the sua was obtained soon after 12 o'clock, about twenty minutes after the eclipse had commenced, and from that time, even by those carefully on the watch, only momentary glimpses were caught until 1 o'clock. The time of greatest obscuration passed. over, to the great dis appointment of every one, without a sight of the heavenly bodies. The darkness at the moment of greatest obscuration was about equal to that which proceeds from dark masses of clouds immediately before a heavy storm, and it bad a marked effect upon birds on the wing, who flew low, and seemed anxiously seeking shelter. About two minutes after this portod aims_ opsziroyjjkly passing clouds affords d frequent ;Domes Lary glimpses' of at!, eclipse, and at this time it could be seen quite as well with the naked eye as with glasses._ The weather continued cloudy during the remainder of the afternoon, affording but few opportunities for observation, and a light shower of rain began to fall between 2 and 3 o'clock. LIVERPOOL The town and port were overcast by clouds which prevented the eclipse from being seen, but a partial observation was able to be taken from the high ground in the outskirts of the borough. The dark ness, even at the time when the eclipse was most comple - e, was not by any means dense, business in the shops being continued without the necessity of lighting the gas. OXFORD. The only period at which it was vitible was for a few minutes after 12 o'clock. The apparent lower ing of the clouds and the passing of the shadow was very remarkable ; but the most interesting of the experiments were with the thermometers, which, although placed in various situations, and varying some 6 or 8 degrees, at the moment of the greatosi obscuration all sank to exactly the same level. The birds were noticed to be singing almostuP to the time of the completion of the eclipse. Those of the Oxonians who remained at home had a much better view of the eclipse, as it was visible nearly toa quarter to 1 o'clock. The appearance of the sky was such as when the shades of evening had approached. We understand that although little could be seen of the eclipse at Heyford, Woidatook, ac., yet at o ther villages differently s i tuated it was v isible nearly up to the completion o f th e circle. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. Mr. John Yeats, F. R.G. S., writing from Fother ingay Castle-mound, says I —`` th e phenomena of an annular eclipse were c l ear l y an d b ea utifully visible on the mound, whi c h i s a l oca lity easily ideutified. Baily's bead s were perfect l y p l a i n on the completion of the annu l us which occurr ence took place, according t o my ob s e rva tion, at about 70 seconds after 1 o ' c l ock ; it lasted a b ou t 80 seconds. The i b ea d s, ' li ke drops o All f water, ap peared on the upper and under sides of the moon, occupying fully three-fourths of her circumfeience. There was nothing like intense darkness during the eclipse ; I have seen more gloom in a thunderstor m . Bystanders prognoAicated r a i n, b ut it was the shadaw of a rapidly decli n i ng d a y .

Cocks crowed, bi r d s flew l ow or fluttered about uneasily, but every o bj ect far an d near was well defined to the eye." SWINDON. Before the eclipse commenced the thermometer stood at 58 deg. in the sun. At 11.30 th e s ky, though cloudy about the horizon, was perfectly t c o lea w r a ar toh ou t n h d e twhaeosiunng. of f F t o h r o s o me at tingew mayheremention the temperature was from 58 deg. to 48 deg. ; that this fall was entir e ly d u e so metimes through coloured glass- s, and sometimes through the filmy clouds which now began to thicken round it. At 12.22 the first spot was covered, and at 12 . 30 t h e whole cluster ; on examining our thermom e t er it f l i i ll , f t a h l a l e t n t h t e o t s o 3 t a d l e g iall ` of to the clouds is proved by the fact of the tempera ture again rising to 52 deg. immediately after the eclipse. At 12.40 a grand coalition of clouds put an end to our telescopic researches, an d we were forced to confine our observations to the land sca p e . After Mr. Hind's poetical description of the "darkness visible" during au eclipse, the specta tors were evidently rather disappointed with the gloom which spread over nature at two or three minutes before one. Nevertheless this gloom was very considerable, it was not great enough to ob scure the spire of Swindon Church, the hayrick., houses, and trees that we had noted, but it was quite enough to prevent the index cards being read. The gloom did not, however, exceed the ordinary shades of evening, and was not calculated to ex cite the emotions of awe and wonder to any inor dinate extent. A vivid imagination might dis cover something very awful in the darkness, it is true, but to us it seemed merely curious. The clouds spoiled all. BLISWORTH.

At 12h. 32m. there was still no perceptible change in the appearance of nature generally. It was an ordinary dull day. The birds con tinued their singing. At 12h. 34m. we caught a momentary glimpse of the sun. The moon's limb was perfectly regular. Much scud was passing, the sky was generally overcast, and the appearance of the weather such as betokens rain, large masses of cumulus in the neighbourhood of the sun were illuminated at the summit, and iu the glooitlooked picturesque and massive. At 12h. 39m.. both cusps were very sharp as seen with a glass. The moon's limb was even. At this time the gloom to the. north began to deepen considerably, while the sun was more clearly visible than at axy time before, and appeared like a crescent of pure silvery bright ness. At 12b. 47m. the .spot was bi-sected ; the moon's limb was now- irregular, the gloom deep ened, and birds were heard, some singing, and others chirping and calling as though disturbed. At 12h. 50m. the lark ceased to rise, and was silent. At 12b. 53m. we might have imagined that a severe storm "was impending, and birds - were seen flying homewards. The wind continued, to rise in gusts and squalls, the sky was overcast, but the sun still illuminated a circle round itself. Between lh. lm. and lb. 2m. the greatest gloom was experienced, but at no time was it difficult to read at the ordinary distance, and throughout there existed no necessity to suspend any:employ ment.. THE ECLIPSE IN PARIS. The appearance of the heavens in the early part of the morning seemed anything but favourable for enjoying a good observation of the great pheno menon which was about to take place; The night had been exceedingly stormy, with heavy falls of rain, and the morning broke with a dull leaden sky, which seemed impenetrable to the rays of the sun. At about nine o'clock the atmosphere got clearer, and towards ten o'clock a gleam of sue shine broke out, giving promise of a.bright propi tious day. By degrees the clouds 'became more and more dissipated, and at nine minutes to twelve, when the shadow of the moon was to commence its passage over the sun's disc., a bright sunshine prevailed, but still with scattered masses of clouds existing, and with a breeze which drifted them slowly to the west. At that hour every part of Paris from Which a good view of the sun could be obtained was filled with persons armed with pieces of coloured glass, ready to observe the eclipse. The clouds, which at first seemed likely to impede the view—as they did cer tainly to a considerable extent for scientific ob servers—rather served to assist the ordinary spec tator from occasionally dulling the over-brightness of the sun's glare, and serving in place of the smoked glass or any other of the appliances which are used on such occasions. What seemed to strike generally the spectators was the rapidity with which the moon's shadow gained on the sun's circle. Com mencing at the lower part on the right, it passed on so promptly over the disc that in about the space of three quarters of an hour the sun presented only the appearance of a crescent, the convex side of which was formed by the luminary's circumfer -eneto on the left. By degrees the arateentinareased. until it became almost a thin line, nine tenths of the sun, beinglthen covered. It . then began to slowly descend, until the portion which had appeared 'com pletely to the left became the lowest boundary of the sun's face, the two horns being on a perfect level. The sun at this moment was exceedingly curious to behold, for as the clouds passed over its surface, it seemed like a boat of light slowly ploughing its way through an agitated ocean. The crescent still kept inclining to the right until it had got beyondthe level, and then the sun seemed almost at once to have resumed a considerable portion of its illuminated surface. The eclipse wasnewbeginning to tend towards its termination, the i ncrease of light seeming to arrive from below, and filling the upward part rapidly. The sun then became so bright that it was not easy to observe it for any length of time, even through deeply-stained glass, and the sight was then better viewed when reflected in a vessel of water. At twenty-eight minutes past two the whole was over, but the ordinary light of day had returned, to all appearance, long before. At no time was there such a diminution of light as to prevent persons from carrying on their ordi nary business, though it was only when the eclipse had entirely terminated and the sun shone forth with what seemed unusual brilliancy that the dif ference between the greatest degree of obscurity and the full light could be properly judged of. THR AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—SoUTRAMTToN, March 15. —The Royal Mail Company's steamship Teviot, Captain Charles Taylor, with the heavy portion of the mails from Australia, New Zealand, &c., arrived here to-day at noon. She also brings 21 passengers (including Lieut. la Touch, R.N., invalid from India), 49 boxes of gold, value 192,3791. sterling, and 23 packages of general mer chandise. The usual Egyptian fleet was at ♦lexandria, and Admiral Lyons's squadron at Malta. The Teviot experienced a strong northerly gale up the coast of Spain and Portugal to Cape I'inisterre ; thence a heavy north- westerly gate across the bay, and up channel to the Needles. The mail brought by the Teviot is a very heavy one, in consequence of the steamer Columbian having been detained at the Australian ports for 4$ hours to give an opportunity of answering the corres pondence contained in the double mail taken by the Simla, consequent on accident to the Emeu in the Red Sea in October last. Notwithstanding the severe wea ther encountered by the Teviot on her homeward voyage the work of sorting this mail was fully accomplished previous to reaching this port, affording another proof of the practicability of a scheme which cannot fail to be come universally adopted wherever ocean steamers are available for the conveyance of mails. By this arrange ment the letters and newspapers brought by the Teviot will be delivered in London to-day, and the correspon dence for the country- forwarded by the evening mails, that portion of it which would benefit by being left at this place having been specially seleeted for that purpose.

A large number of persons resorted to the highest building 4 in the metropolis to view the eclipse, and the hi ;hest peak of all—the Victoria Tower—was honoured in this way with a numerous attendance of visitors, among whom were even ladies, who braved the real fatigue and terrors, such as they at' e, of the giddy ascent, and acme officers of the Life Guards, who in pursuit of science managed to climb without mishap, accompanied and incom moded by their jackboots and mediaeval spurs, to the vary summit of the noble edifice. We need pearcely say that, as far as the eclipse was concerned, no one saw better up there than they did from the ground ; in fact, of the actual eclipse but very little could be seen at all. On the summit of the tower, when the eclipse commenced the wind was strong and almost vio lently gusty, and went bellowing and howling up and down the great central staircase with a noise particularly ominous and unpleasant. Even for some little time after the sun had been partially obscured by clouds, the extent of the prospect seen from the tower was as we have said most grand. Greenwich Hospital, apparently sur rounded at the back with fields and dark patches of woodland, could be distinctly seen, while on the south the Crystal Palace, dwarfed seemingly to the proportion of a neat conservatory, formed a promi nent Object: o the - mist the' view wa;kinnre hazy,. but still open ground _round •Bayassrater and• Pad , dington was plainly visible, and hills about Kew and Fulham were lnot to be mistaken for any. thing but hills. About half an hour after the eclipse had commenced and all this was changed— Greenwich Hospital, the Crystal Palace, the hills at Fulham, and neat whit© houses of Bayswater had all disappeared, and in their place was a band of sad coloured misty twilight, which seemed to con ceal everything within its mournful folds and to be slowly enclosing the great city. From this time (about half-past 19) the growth of the obscuiity was rapid and palpable. Every minute London seemed enveloped more and more iu an unnatural gloom—neither dawn nor evening. Every minute, as the spectator moved round the battlements of the Tower and overlooked London from each of its four sides, he could notice the in crease of gloom and miss some conspicuous struc ture from among the great mass of edifices beneath him. The Monument and St. Paul's went among the first, the high bulk of the latter waning into a darkish mass, and then losing itself amid the general gloom, exactly as a dissolving picture fades from view. On the south side of the water the dome of Bethlehem became almost indistinct with that of the groat metropolitan cathedral, and at last the whole of Lambeth gradually resembled a level dark-looking mass, like a tract of tog land seen from a distance. Buckingham -palace early lost its individuality, and it was difficult to dis tinguish its massive form from the dark-looking grass of the Park in which it stood. As the time of the !greatest obscurration approached the gloom deepened and deepened in pro portion, and with it the stillness of all around grew more and more heavy and observable. One o'clock struck, and as it struck the darkness seemed to us to be greatest and most solemn. Lamb-nth Palace could just be distinguished on one side, and Westminster Abbey and (but very dimly) the Westminster Hospital on the other. The Horse Guards could not be distinguished in Parliarneet street, and both the Nelson column and St. Mar tin's church were for a time invisible in the thick looking air ; only the towers of the old Abbey and the spires of the New Houses were at all distinctly visible for a minute or so, and on them the dark ness had the effect of seeming to increase both their size and distance from the spectator. Almost directly after the period of the greatest obscuration was passed the v er y rap id return o f li g h t cou ld b e distinctly marked as building after building seemed to creep forth again into existence. At about 25 minutes past 1 a slight break in the clouds allowed the sun to be seen for a moment. The shadow of the morn was then full upon it, the sun itself appearing like a young crescent moon of some two or three days old. The light he gave at this moment was pale and watery, and the sub stance of the moon seemed of a dull pewtery colour. Beyond this glimpse, which only lasted for a minute, nothing more was seen, and only the rapid increase of natural daylight showed that the sun was not eclipsed for ever. No other nearly total eclipse such as that of yes terday will, we believe, a ga i n occur i n England during the remainder of the present century. FROM ST. PAUL'S GALLERY. The wind was cold and cutting ; the fog was dense, and what was still more vexatious, we could soo that the atmosphere below was comparatively clear, while there 78 . 3 not the slightest symptom of any of those remarkable features for which every one, book in one hand and coloured glass in the other, was patiently waiting. At twenty minutes to twelve o'clock we got our first glimpse of the eclipse. A small section of a circle might be ob served to be quite black on the bright surface, and for that moment only during the day were the coloured glasses rendered necessary. Subsequently, the clouds closed in apio, and the patient watch ers on the tower" had nothing for it but to wrap themselves up from the cold and wind, to road their little books where alone the more remarkable features of the eclipse were to be found. 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 at this moment as if completely enve loped in fo g , th e li m its of which were, howev er , quite d e f ina b le as it formed a sort of deep band, which l e f t the street below almost clear, while the atmosphere above—that is, between us and th e clouds—h a d a comparat i ve l y rarified look.
