LIVERFOOL.—THE LUNAR ECLIpsE.--.1..."' 000
eclipse of the moon, as most of our readers sre agee°,
took place on Sunday night last. It was seen roe
advantage in this neighbourhood, owing to the cle 010
of the night. An astronomical friend has furnish 5c
with a few remarks upon it :—" I don't know thatl,o4
can be said about an eclipse of the moon, and I °tiro"
it is from this cause, and the desire of writing ser,
thing, that I have noticed in some of the, Ple
the most trite and futile paragraphs about this 0011'
eclipse. It is, however, a remarkable phenl,3
and one that I have never before witnessed, tu'ojeo
should have, in one year, two total eclipses of olsif
—namely, on the 31st of May last, and on cif;
accompanied by the most favourable atmospherleutiP
cumstances. That of Sunday was the most bee riot
from the greater altitude of the moon and the
darkness of the sky. Indeed, the rapidity with,"
the total darkness came on, when the moon lopec'
nearly immersed in the shadow, produced in.t,illsegte:
tator an almost irresistible feeling of awe—lees 'lola ~AlI.
but of the same nature with that which is felt- ue
total solar eclipse. The moon was situated exacti lob •
way between Aldebaran and the Pleiades, and it quite
novel and interesting sight to see the Inntpate:;
conspicuous in the sky, yet diffusing n° a5O
light, nor interfering with the visibility of th
cot 11,0
stars near her, which might be seen topof
to her disc. Astronomically, an eeliPse to Ye
moon is not much accounted of, as, nvtoeferlit

Advices of July 20 have been received from

in the means of developing their resources, and sop

that of Liverpool manufacture. The dates from PIO
Australia are to the sth of June. Some good ivald
captures had just been effected, and the mines are_LJ
to be getting on well. At Glen Osmond four men n' ,

to be delivered up upon the payment of a larger re
