The Eclipse ut the National Observatory.

WASHINGTON, May %, ISj4.
The sky was clear, and circumstances favorable
for observing the solar eclipse of Friday last, the
26th inst.
The sun was without spots, and the attention
of Observers was especially directed to the begin
ming ard the end Of the eclipse.
Mr.. Ferguson observed with the large equatorial,
and Professor Keith, for the last contact, with the
west transit lifted from its Us and mounted on the
reversing apparatus. The observations with these
two instruments ! consider, on account OF their
power, the most reliable; though Professors farna,
Major, end Hubbard also made observations, the
first with the cometseeker, and the two lastnamcd
with small telescopes Of about 2ainch apertures.
