The Transit Of Mercury.

We learn from the astronomers Of the
High School Observatory, that the tram
sit of Mercury, on the S.h, fulfilled their
predictions IN most remarkable manner,
The beginning and end took place about
a minute and half later than the times
specified i'll the United States almanac.
This shows the progress of this sci
enee towards perfection. Such an
rouncemenls in the last century were
liable to an error Of ii quarter of an hour.
As an illustration OF the precision at
lainable IN this science with the perfect
instruments now in use, We are informed
that the diameter Of Mercury, as measur-
ed by the Franholcr FiIarmicrometer,
differed from that given in Downe's Al
manac only IN the hundredths of Sc
cond u. S. Ga2eHe.
