Abstract

NEWS has been received from the English Eclipse Expedition dated from Suez: all were well. The Surat had been delayed a day by the loss of her screw in the canal, doubtless in that narrow rocky part of the canal some miles above Suez, where so many ships have lost their screws, and the Expedition has proceeded to Galle in the Baroda. Arrangements have been made with the Indian Government to have a ship waiting at Galle on the 16th inst. to convey the Camorta party from that place. We publish this week the Instructions to the observers, issued by the Royal Society Committee.
