THE F.,cursi.—The annular eclipse of the sun,
which takes place on Sunday next, the 15th inst., will be vi-
sible throuv.,ll Britain; but the annulus (appearance of the sun
like a ring) will be seen in those parts only between the lati-
tudes of Barnard Castle and Perth, Durham, Newcastle.
and Sunderland, the annulus will he complete ; but Alnwick
being nearly in the centre of the shadow, is the mrnit conve-
nient town in England to view the eclipse. For Alnwick

The cclipse•beginning 'at 1 31 58
The annulus beginning at 3 5 54
The middle eclipse at 3 8 13

There. will be no such solar eclipse as this in Engl,ind. until
October 9, 1347. Should the larger stars be visible, as in all
probability they will, if the air prove clear, Jupiter and. Venus
may be found near the meridian, the latter northward of the
former. Moore, in his almanaek for the present year, suggests
the following old-fashioned method of viewing the eclipse
without injuring the eyes :—" Get two slips of glass, each
about siy inches long, and from an inch and a half to two
inches wide ;. blacken each on one side by holding it over the
flame of a candle, letting the black shade be laid on 'fore and
n.ore deeply from one end of each slip to the other. Then
bring the blackened 'faces into contact, the deeper shaded end
of one next the deeper shaded end of the other, and tie them
firmly together by a few coils of wax thread round each end.
Thus you may watch an eclipse without injury ; looking through
the more or less blackened part of the shaded glass as may
best suit the necessity of the ease."

fifty-sixth annual Meeting of this excellent Society was held
vesterday at the Freemasons"favern, Great Queen-street.
The great room was crowde'd, principally with ladies. On

The Marquis of Cholmondeley, President, in the Chair. The
Secretary then read the report, from Which it appeared that:.
the receipts of the last year had amounted to 2,500/., and that
the exp•mditure had been equally large ; that since the So-
ciety ha 1 been established 300,000 Bibles had been dist!ibut.ed
among the objects of the S:ciety and seamen of the merch..nts'
service, and that the most beneficial effects had re',•ulteo front
this circulation of the Sacred Writings.
