The wings are tipped with black. About four years ago the Canada, in the day- time, going eleven or twelve knots in a dense fog, 124 Memorial of the Bonds struck full against an iceberg. The bowsprit touched first, and was carried away; then the figurehead and all the light work was destroyed; but, fortunately, her way was stopped before any damage was done below water line. The engines were reversed a moment before and diminished the speed about one knot. April 26th. Arrived at Liverpool, Sund...ay, 8 p. M. LIVERPOOL, April 27th. I went to-day to the observatory and found Mr. HARTNUP. His son, JOHN HARTNUP, is now attached to the observatory. All the arrangements seemed very neat, but Mr. H. Complains that little time is left for astronomy after attending to 200 chronom- eters and the Meteorological Record. The self- registering wind curves are very effective. I saw evident spots of efflorescence on the object glass (by MERZ) of the equatorial, just as on ours. Mr. HARTNUP has no difficulty in getting all necessary provisions for ordinary expenses.
