cular localities. From Lekdenhall-street to the fo°,.
of Cornhill, about a quKrter to eleven o'clock, the
atmosphere was more strangely discoloured than
I/
can remember to have ever seen it. All objects sr
peered to be viewed through that indescribable glooll2
which attends a total eclipse of the sun. A deer
l
copper, or maroon colour, invested every visible buil
ing; the sun showed like a red, but opaque disk; f
fi
the dimly developed outlines of the figures mo fill
about the crowded quarter in question reminded
4 us °
the aspect of a closing tableau to some startli' jg sPer
tacle of diablerie at the theatres. The tovier of ,118, Exchange was invisible on the other side
and the whole of the massive fabric vr,4 wrapped at
the early hour in a sombre shadow, I,..„iike that °e twilight, evening, or night. This. strange mart°,

LI VERT' 001..---TIIL LUNAR $, `The "t,
eclipse of the moon, as most of our readers are awe,
took place on Sunday night last. It wee, seen to gi.%9.
advantage in this neighbourhood, owing
:.,
of the night. An astronomical friend has furnished u, with a few remarks upon it :—" j dor:'t know that cello can be said about an eclipse of the .moon, and I stiPP.,,,,.
it is from this cause, and the d eaire of writing se'-ora
thing, that I have noticed 'ln some of the papers most trite and futile paragraphs about this o'l4,
to the cleans-.
eclipse. It Is, however, a remarkable phenon3ol°ol and or that I have never before witnessed, that
should have, in one year, two total eclipses of the 0110°I,
—namely, on the 31st of May last,
and on 5r10ut,,,,.,
accompanied by the most favourable atmospherical eil'i,
curnstances. That of Sunday was the most beautti.er
from the greater altitude of the moon and the superildo
darkness of the sky. Indeed, the rapidity with wi!,,,,,
the total darkness came on, when the moon bee'"--.
nearly immersed in the shadow, produced in the
~,oe
tator an almost irresistible feeling of awe—less in degt`
but of the same nature with that which is felt durillf-
Ltal solar eclipse. The moon was situated exactly
." *,
way between Aldebaran and the Pleiades, and it was
novel and interesting sight to see the mewl gti
ite,
conspicuous in the sky, yet diffusing no
apparel
light, nor interfering with the viability of the 7.up
stars near her, which night be seen almost ' tbe
to her disc. Astronomically, an eclipse 01 to
moon is not much accounted of, as, owing to lie
lv
want of sharp definition in the earth's shado,lll4,
moment of contact cannot be noticed with accuracys at.
difference of longitude, however, of any two placejos
which a lunar eclipse is seen, may be determined ri
woure
tolerable exactness in the following way :--Letadoseo
known map of the moon be referred to, and some
s_o.
or more spots selected ; let, then, the moment of oh 70.*
tion of each of these spots be noted in both places Ovl ,1
the mean time is supposed to be accurately 10:1°°1::ores
the difference between the means of the times of o
tior. at the two places will be their difference of longitudeses
The emergence of the same spots, as the moen_rfar
out of the shadow, should also be observed,. an be
greater aoeuracy, as many spots chosen as lt,a wall
convenient to observe. A portable telescope,

pow( r, pretty steadily fixed, and a well-regulated re..
that '
piece, are, in the way of instruments, all

Advices of July 20 have been received from Poll
Philip. The colonists were making daily improvements
in the means of developing their resources, and among
other articles wo hear of colonial salt as competing wi
that of Liverpool manufacture. The dates from South
Australia aro to the sth of June. Some good whale,:
captures had just been effected, and the mines are said:
to be getting on well. At Glen Osmond four men raise"
eleven tons of rich ore in one week.
We understand that a letter was received late yester-
day, by one of the superior officers in the City police.
stating that all the property stolen from Messrs. Rogers
and Co., the bankers, was in a house at Walworth, read/
to be delivered up upon the payment of a larger reward'
than that offered. Officers went in the direction stated,
and found a miserable house, the tenant of which de%ded
all knowledge of the contents of the letter, and most
readily offered that his house should be searched, TO
is no doubt a feint. That the property is not far from
London, awaiting a compromise, is held to be quite cer"
certain by the most experienced of the City officers. A 6
present, however, nothing has transpirfAl that can ts
relied upon.
The Funds have been very firm—fJonsols at 1001 it

is at 60s. The Commissioner's took their usual amount'
of stock to-day,
Business has been rather brisk in the Foreign Funds
this morning ; but the prices are mostly the same as yeP, terday. Spanish at 24; the Threeper Cents.

This looks like something satisfactory having oaf:Rare°

The Share market is firm, but not much business is
doing.
