Observations on tbs recent Kellpse, »n«l
some attending Phenomena.
OBSERVATORY, I
Alexandria Boarding School,
5th wo. 27th, 1854. )
The Eclipse of the Sun occurred last even
ing, as our citizeus had tho pleasure of seeing,
in exact accordance with previous prediction.
The weather was unusually favorable for
observation, with a pleasant breeze, and an
elastic atmosphere, and scarcely a cloud visi
ble through the whole day.
We commenced our observations with the
Barometer and Thermometers, at about 1
o’clock, P. M., and recorded them every 15
minutes.
The Barometer varied very little, standing
pretty uniformly at 30.01 inches, which re
duced, by making allowance for tempera
ture, gives an altitude of 20.88 iuehes, due
to Atmospheric pressure.
The Standard Thermometer, in the shade,
was 70 degrees at 1 o’clock, It rose to 78 de
grees at a quarter past 3, and then stood at j
1 ift 1* 1 . J
14 uegrees 1111 me ecnpse was emicu.
The thermometer, with a blackened bulb, i
placed on a black ground, uni exposed to
the direct rays of the Sun, rose to 144 de
grees at quarter past 3, it then gradually tell
till half past 5, when it was down to 100.
after which it rose till quarter past 0, when
it stood at 110 degrees.
In the shade, the tee/ bulb thermometer, j
previous to the commencement of the Eclipse,
was ten degrees below the dry hull). 1 he
difference was least at 45 minutes past 5, i
when it was 7 degrees below the dry bull).
When the Thermometers were suspended,
and exposed to the suushine and a free cur
rent vf air, the greatest difference was 14 de
grees, which was pretty constant from 3 to 4 j
o’clock, at which time the dry bull) was S5o
degrees, and the wet bulb 7 U. fhe differ
ence was least at 45 minutes past o, when
the dry bulb was 70, and the wet at Oi de- i
grees—showing a difference of 0 degrees.
The black bulb suspended in the air, was j
highest at a quarter past 4, when it rose to .
90i, at half past 5 it had fallen to 78. and at
- quarter past 0 it rose again to 83 degrees.
Efforts were made with the Telescope to
see the edge of the Moon, previous to its con
tact with the Sun, in accordance with the
suggestion of Delisle, the correctness of.
which suggestion was partially verified du- :
ring the Eclipse of 1851 ; hut the glasses we
used to protect the eye were too dark to reu
derour efforts successful. The 8un being
so much larger than the moon, it must ne
cessarily illuminate more than one half of that
body at the same instant, in consequence of
which, at or near the time of conjunction, a j
border of the thus illuminated surface of the
moon, would be towards the earth broadest
on the part nearest the sun, and could, no
doubt, under favorable circumstances, and
with a proper means of protecting the eye,
be seen. As the muon traversed the sun’s
disc, minute dark points were seen to project I
from the moon’s edge on to the surface ot the
Sun.
Experiments were made with the prism to
determine if any difference could be observed
during the Eclipse, in the relative proportion
of the red and violet rays of the spectrum, i
through the rrJ'rQeUw influence of a lunar j
atmosphere, or the insertion of light by the
moon’s surface, but no such difference could
be detected.
Several interesting drawings were made by
the Students, of the lights and shades through j
the leaves of the trees, giving beautiful ex
hibitions of the Eclipse in its different phases.
The shadow of a ball, too, was very pecu
liar, exhibiting an enlarged penumbra on the
same side with the eclipsed portion ot the Sun.
It was remarkable that not a single .solar
8|>ot was visible with our Telescope, during
the day, a circumstance we have not knowu
before for many years.
At the time of greatest obscuration, the
aspect of things was peculiarly soft ami po
etical, which was not a little heightened by the \
clearness of the atmosphere, and the fresh
ness of vegetatiou. Two little birds (all we
saw') went to nx>st, one placing its head be
neath its wing, in true evening posture: but
it was soon roused by returning brightness.
To witness a phenomenon of so sublime a
character as that of a Solar Eclipse, occur- |
riug at the very instant that hail long been
foretold by calculation, especially when it is i
iTceollected, that this calculation has to bal
ance the various influences producing irregu- j
.laritie* in the movements of the moon, aud
Apparent positions of the Sun, arising not
.ouly from the perpetual change in the distan
ces and angular positions of the three bodies
—the Sun, Earth and Moon, which cause a
constant alteration, in both the direction
and amount of the disturbing forces, but also
from similar disturbances by the influence of
each of the different planets of our System,
cannot fail to awaken feelings of pleasure,
mingled with awe and grandeur, to inspire
the spectator with increased confidence in :
the harmony and stability of the Universe,
and in that power by which it is governed, I ,
and to give a more elevated opinion of the iu- i
toilectual powers with which man has been
endowed by bis Creator, that thus enable ■
him, with such perfect precision, to make the j
predictions. Perhaps thejull effect of this, I
can be realized by those only, who are ho- (
quainted with the intricacy of the Problem, i
but it must, to some Jojjrec, bo folt by all.

House of Representatives, May 95.
The forty-ninth Senate amendment was
read by the Clerk, as follows:
i Srr. 5. Ami lx x* fttrthrr enoetnt. That the compensation
! uf thr specW mail ajrent of the I V*st Office lVpnrtniont in
! California l<e p*-r annum: su-h rate to take
in virtue of tfci* provision frvui .luh 1,
After def*ate,
>lr. Smith, of Virginia. I move to reduce
the appropriation $100.
1 rise, Mr. Chairman, without any interest
in this question other than that which apper
tains to the members of this House. I have
no feeling in the question—none in the world;
hut I have some experience of California,
having gone there to pursue my private for
tunes, and having returned after a pleasant
and agreeable trip. I say to this body, from
personal knowledge, that it is indispensi
ble, and perhaps more so in that country than
in any other portion of the Union, that tins
officer should be a man of the very highest
character. He has jurisdiction over con
tracts. He lias a great power of collusion:
and unless lie be protected by a great deal
of integrity out there, where every man goes
to make his pile, and where it is honest enough
to make money anv how—
Mr. Walsh. Y ou went to make your
pile?
Mr. Smith. I went to make my pile, but !
to make it honestly. A great many go there !
tor a umereiu purpose, aim, as 1 kuow, espe
cially from New York.
Well, sir, this being the case, it is necessa
ry to secure a man of high character. You
canuot do that for the present salary. In j
this particular case 1 desire the House to un
derstand that there is no proposition to in- j
crease the per diem. A man here gets $1,000
per annum, and $*J per day for his travelling j
expenses. In this case he is to get $5,000
per annum, and only $*J per diem. The $*2 1
per diem will not pay for drinks. ! Laughter.]
I tell gentlemen that the man who is hearty
there has to nay very high for his living. 1
have seen many a miner pay $- 50 for his
breakfast. You have to pay a quarter of a
dollar apiece for eggs, a half of a dollar for
a beef steak, seventy-tivecents for a partridge;
and when a fellow gets thirsty, he has to pay
a quarter of a dollar for a drink, and short
measure at that. What* does the gentleman
from New York [Mr. Walsh j think of that?
j Laughter, j
Mr. Wai.sii. What kind of drinks?
Mr. Smith. Good stiff drinks, and a quar
ter of a dollar apiece. 1 mention these things
to show that there is no comparison in point
of importance—and 1 speak in sincere can
dor to the ge tleman from New York—be
tween this officer and the baited States as
sayerat S.ui Francisco. One sits in his room, ■
performs light and easy duties, while the :
other has to brave the tempests, hud roads, \
and all the dangers pictured a while ago by !
mv friend from Pennsylvania, [Mr. McNair, j ;
Five thousand dollars is not one cent too j
much. There are many officers, clerks ot i
the Government, who get more. M hat do j
you think of the naval officer getting ss.ooo
per annum? lie is not nigh as responsible |
an officer as this one, judging from the in- j
cum bent.
Mr. Houston. I was at first inclined to
vote for tiiis amendment: hut if $- 50 per j
duv is required to furnish the officer with |
drinks. I am of the opiniou that it had better ;
be voted down. I shall vote against it.
Mr. Smith. 1 am greatly surprised that
.. ..L.% t « r.F 4 '.nnmittna i if W o «*4J n awl (
an v vnan uiun vi uiv vviumuvvvv
Means could be found to give such a reason
lor his vote.
The amendment was withdrawn,
lhe question now being on concurring in
the amendment of the Senate,
Mr. Mcl>on:.\u. demanded tellers.
Tellers were not ordered.
The question was theu put: and it was de- j
elded in the negative.
So the amendment of the Senate was not
concurred in. _

FUGITIVE SLAVE HIOT IN BOSTON !
UNITED STATES MAKSilAL SHOT DEAD!
THE MILITARY CALLED OCT!
Gin:a t excitemext :
Boston', May 27.—There was a most fear
ful riot in this city at a late hour last even
ing. The public mind is in a dreadful state
of excitement and apprehension, and there
is no telling when or how the matter will
end.
The riot grew out of the abolition demon
stration which has been made, and which is
still making, in regard to the fugitive Slave
Case, from Virginia.
A public meeting, as I have already ap
prised you, was held in the early p*‘trt ot tne
evening, it was attended by an immense
concourse of people, whose passions were in
flamed to the highest degree by the incendi
ary harangues of the speakers.
While this feelimr was rairinir insido and
outside of the meeting, a collision took place
between the abolition fanatics and the author
ities, aided by such citizens as felt disposed
to preserve order at all hazards.
The Deputy U. S. Marshal was shot dead
on the spot, and other citizens were seriously,
if not dangerously wounded.
The military were called out, and it was
only hv the most determined exertions that
something like order was restored.
This morning, at 9 o’clock, the examination
of the fugitive slave, Burns, was resumed
before the United States Commissioner.
The Court House is surrounded by an im
mense mob numbering thousands, highly ex
cited, and reckless enough to do the bidding
of their leaders.
A strong military force is under arms ready
to enforce obedience to the laws, if the most
extreme measures have to be resorted to.
[second dispatch]
Boston, May 27.—The examination of the
fugitive slave, Burns, still continues amidst
intense excitement. Several more rioters
have been arrested. A detachment of the
U. S. Marines under Lieut. Bird, are on
duty inside of tin* Court House parading the
passage ways. The multitude outside con
tinues to increase.
The Mayor, .1. V. C. Smith, has ordered the
Biot Act to be read. The whole city is under
intense excitement.
(third dispatch,j
Boston, May 27, 12J, 1\ M.—James j
Batchelder was the U. deputy marshal j
shot. He leaves a family who were depen
dent upon him for support.
The entire watch police force of the city
are on duty. The Independant Cadets, and j
the Boston Light Infantry, under Capt. C. O.
Ilogers, are quartered at the City Hall. Col.
Wright’s Company of Light Dragoons arealso
on hand.
The more moderate opponents of the fu
gitive slave law denounced the meeting last
nijiht. Burns’s counsel asked a continuance
of the examination till Monday noon.— W ash.
Star oj Saturday.
Boston, May 27.—The examination of the
Fugitive Slave, Burns, belonging to Col. Sut
tie, of Alexandria, was postponed until Mon
day. Several arrests of rioters have been
made.
The London Sun of the latest day received !
by the Europa, lias a despatch announcing
the capture of Cronstadt. Three thousand
are said to have been killed on both sides.—
This wants confirmation.
Washington, March 27.—The Steamboat
Maryland ran into the unfinished truss-fame,
now being erected for the repair of the Poto
mac Bridge, this morning, causing some j
jam age—both to the bridge and boat. This
accident will not retard the repairs more than
:wo or three days.
-
Buffalo, May 27.—The steamer Detroit
