A Jarvey's Joke.One of the Paddington this morning, must have felt much indebted to your valuable correspondent J. T.

It is hardly to be expected in a climate was the moon at the period of the immersion, that a very like ours, and the celestial body so near to the horizon as favourable observation could be made; independent of this, a cloud intercepted the southern limb of the moon from our view till about 3' before 5, when the immersion had taken place; the emersion, however, was seen under almost as favourable circumstances as could be wished, and occurred at 24′ 6′′ after 5. No particular distortion of the shape of the planet during its emersion was perceptible; but when quite visible, it seemed as if attached to the dark part of the moon for the space of more than 7'-an appearance precisely similar to that which I re member to have witnessed in an occultation of the planet Jupiter. The situation of Jupiter amongst the several small stars in and near the right arm of Sagittarius, renders the planet, as a telescopic observation, peculiarly interesting. CHARLES H. ADAMS.
