Aa Annular Eclipse of the Sun, as it is called, took
place yesterday, at two minutes after three eclock,which was en
visible in the British Islands; but our countrymen, who have sailed
towards the northern ems. would have an opportunity of witnesnog
this beautiful spectacle. The appearance of the portion of the sue
visible mound the mica at the time of the middle• of the Wiper,
was similar to a thin ring of light around a dark body. The ant
annular eclipse, visible in this country, will be in 1847.
It was enacted by the Long Parliament, that ever

The absurdities of tavern signs are often colas
enough, but may in general be traced to that inveterate
propensity, which the vulgar of all countries have, to
make havoc with everything in the shape of a proper
name. The sign of the Goat and Compass" is a
whimsical instance of this sort of corruption ; this Op
is of the days of the Commonwealth, and was originally

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIZTY—THt OSTRICII-•
Mr. Baooss, the celebrated anatomist, gave a lecture,
yesterday evening, at the house of the Zoological Society,
in Brutoastress, on the body of the ostrich .thick bin
rMaistary had presented to the Society. The ostrich,
which was a female, had been presented to his MAJESTY,
about two years ago, by Colonel DAMMAM. It was kept at
Windsor, and died about three weeks since, 01 °hew?...
a disease which very frequently shortens the lives 01
wild animals of every species, when attempts ate made
to domesticate them. Mr. Bacioes, after a few prelim,-
nary observations, entered into a very minute =con: cf
the various peculiarities of the ostrich, and described,
with great clearness, the organs by which this extram•
&nary bird is enabled to travel with such esecWe
speed.• This peculiarity he ascribed to the power of tee
muscles which passed from the pelvis to the foot, Ari
enabled the ostrich to stand vertically, and not like other
birds otherwise resembling it, on the toes. In pod,
of the intimate relation between muscular power and
extraordinary swiftness, Mr. Bitooms mentioned that the
Chief Professor of the Veterinary College had informed
him, that, upon dissecting the body of the celebiateJ
racer Eclipse, one of the fleetest horses ever seen m
country, it was found that he possessed muscles of lope
ralleled size. The Lecturer here produced an anattillial
plate of Eclipse, for the purpose of displaying his rs'
tiaordinary muscular power, and observed, that if ht
had not told his hearers that it represented a race bent'
from the size of the muscles they might be apt to co
dude that he was :hewing them the plate of *
horse. The Learned Gentleman then concluded a nOll
interesting lecture, which appeared to Wit • afford°
very general satisfaction to a numeruss snit highly 1'
spcc .e:le auditory.

SHAESPERIAN JUBILEE,
(Second day continued)
aItitATIORD-UPON-AVore, Tossoar Niout, Anti. ea.
Early this morning there was a sharp fall of hail and
ow, and it was le:sled the seieral amusements would
be much affected thereby ; but subsequently the wea
tbea cleared op, and it has been a brilliant sunny
dny throhout ; and the usual influx of visitors has
taken plauceg. But few of the sfathilies from the country
bad left, and the town, as on the preceding day, pre-
ova) th.. most brilliant appearance. almost every in-
dividual wearing the rainbow favour, adopted by GA a-
lio, to shrvi the versatility of the genius of -SHAK•
WARS, and in unison with the line of Dr. Jontanom—
. Back change of party-coloured life he drew."
The public breaks" at the White Lion Inn, adjacent
to the birth-place of the great poet, exceeded all expec.
tation in the number and respectability of the company.
The great room was tastefully fitted up with evergreens,
end the military band played the most favourite airs,
overtures, fee. The arrangements and the refreshments
were of the best description. Nearly all- the principal
families of the tows and its vicinity
is were pr
pmt' itesen, and
at one time there were 250 pons the ris
supposed, however, that nearly 400 breakfasted. The
display of beauty and fashirm was most interesting. To
the breakfast succeeded recitation and song. Mr. Bohm
again spoke the address,written and recited by Mr.Seitha,
en the previous day, at SHALSIMARI'S birth-place.—
After this several comic and serious. songs were sung,
and the assembly did not separate until one o'clock
In the town and its neighbourhood rustic sports took
place, and pries were assembled to celebrate •the Jo-
bike in every house, and strangers might be seen
moving to the vat ions places consecrated by the memory
stillitlinAlle. At the dinner last night many relics
of &batman' were exhibited, such as goblets, drink-
ing cops, pipes, &c. all formed from the famous mul-
berry tree.—The pageant of Monday of the dramatic

hags to have been performed at GARRICK'S Jubilee,
and all the preparations were made accordingly; but
the morning proving rainy, it was obliged to be omitted.
This is not generally known.

THZ MASQUERADZ.

This entertainment, apparently as attractive as any
part.of the festival, commenced at seven o'clock, in a
spactous oblong booth erected for the purpose, in the Ra-
ther market, and immediately opposite the Olympic
Equestrian Circus. The interior of the booth was fitted up
is the most splendid style, arid illuminated with many
hundred variegated lamps in various devices; and the
door chalked with mottoes. There again the same
carouse and liberal arrangements were to be found,
as have marked the whale of this memorable ceremonial.
As might be expected, from the superior excellence of
the pageant, the characters were most ably sustained;
;bey %ere principally from the plays of SHAISPAIIIII
end the wit, repartee, humour, and deep feeling, dis-
played by many of the company, divested of the gross-
DM and inanity of a London masquerade, was striking.
When this report left, the public exhibition of film-
works was being displayed, bands of music parading
the town, and groups of persons viewing the illumina-
tions, and surrounding the many places of amusement.
We cannot conclude this article without again praising
thennremitting exertions of the Committee and their Se-
may, in affording all requisite accommodation to the
numerous visitors, or of expressing our gratification at
the urbanity of the townspeople, whose conduct has not
beet marked, notwithstanding the crowded state of the
Borough, with that avaricious disposition so often
evinced in exorbitant charges'cin similar occasions.
On the third and last day (Wednesday) there will be
a conceit in the morning, and a grand ball in the even-
ing, which will conclude the festival under the steward-
ship of F. CANNING, Esq. and the MATO&

THE WEATHER.

Yesterday another hail and snow storm passed over
the western part of the metropolis about noon ; and;
like that of Tuesday, did considerable damage to the
fruit trees in blossom ; and so 'severe have been the two
or three last nights, particularly Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning, that, in the suburbs especially,
there was ice on the Water. The fruit blossoms have,
&en knocked off in considerable quantities, and what
remains looks as if it bad closed again, so nipping have
been the winds.
EDINBURGH, APRIL 24.—The weather has again
assumed the atpect of winter. Yesterday morning a
MOW storm commenced from the eastward, and con-
tinued without intermission throughput the day. The

adjacent country is covered with snow, to the depth
of several inches ; and the trees and bushes, which
within this last.fortnight had burst into leaf, and pre-
:Med the usual appearance of their green and tender
foliage, are shrouded in the usual drapery of winter...-
Towards evening the storm increased to a tempest.
GLasoow, APRIL 24.—Yesterday it rained the whole
day, accompanied by a fierce wind from the East.
Dwaratas, APRIL 24.—Alter the mild genial weather
as experienced in the beginning and middle of last
week, and the heavy showers which fell on Friday, who
could have supposed that we would be visited by
another storm of snow ? Yet so it is, and we grieve to
awe that yesterday was truly a judgment•like day. At
"fatly hour in the•morniag the bills were all white—
the cottages and farawsteadings hooded with snow. From
eight till near eleven o'clock, the onfall ceased in 'a great
m asuse, but shortly after it became rriore bitter than
ever, and, at a late hour last night, the tops of the houses,
even in town, were as white as ever we saw them in
March.

Menitiose.—At a most respectable Meeting, held on
Monday 'week, the Paovose in the Chair, Resolutions were adopted
fur the formation of a Gas Company. The expense of the neces-
sary erections, exclusive of the price of the ground and other
diaries, Is estimated at £3,450, and the annual expenditure at
stout £470. It is calculated that the subscribers will draw a yearly
revenue of upwards of £l,OOO. Neatly one half of the shares was
sabinibed for before the Meeting separated.
lurauxsitLoit.—Alexander Macintosh, sheep gra-
zier at Fergus, parish of Gleniala, when removing his sheep from
''e hill to their winter quarters at West ilduirhoise„ in this parish,
r,er having been a day on the road, was overtaken by the storm in
Nsvember last, which burled the greater part of his sock under the
Pow. With great exertion he recovered all that he supposed were
illvt% and resumed his journey, having lost upwards of a score.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. •

VIE NORTHERN SURVEY.
.Porsioas, Aran 21—Yesterday, at about one o'clock, Ids Ma-
jesty's brig the Isernvularua, attended by the Woontass cutter,
left their moorings, opposite the Royal Dock yard, Deptford, and
sailed with a favourable wind, to resume the survey of the Nor.
diens coast. During the last summer, they were principally em-
ployed of the Scottish shores, and ansong the Orlon and Shetland
Islands. It is presumed that this mama will finish their labours,
which, under the direction of the Masai., Mr. Troths, ►ave been
already very successful,. and led to the correction of several errata
in the old Charts. The survey has been undertaken by the ex-
press emenand of the Admiralty.
