Abstract
WE learn by telegraph that the Sicilian section of the Eclipse Expedition, under Mr. Lockyer's directions, arrived safely at Rome on the morning of the 12th; thanks to the capital arrangements made by Mr. Vignoles with foreign railways for the transit of the party. Through carriages for the observers and instruments were taken from Ostend over the Brenner Pass to Verona; and they would have been sent further had not a breakage occurred in passing over the Brenner. The party intended leaving Naples for Syracuse in H.M.S. Psyche in the course of yesterday. All the Governments are aiding to the utmost in their power.
