LONDON Sept. 10, 1870,
The British Association for the Advancement OF
Science was engaged with local and unimportant
matters at its forenoon session.
At the afternoon meeting Lord Milton read his
transcOntinental observations In America as an ar
gument for the creation Of railroad through the
British possessions. He thought the difficulties
were few ana the profits would be incaculable.
The association then adjourned.
Mr.. Thompson has been chosen chairman OF the
next meeting.
The Shipping Gazette anticipates that there will
be too much cotton and too little corn from the
Southern States. Cotton prices are low and there Is
much activity in Lancashire.
Canadian writes to the Birmingham Gazette
that the present liberal government Of the colony
will drive Canada to annexation to the United States

Application for tho Suspension md Removal
Of the President OF the New York Central
Railroad Company.
A formal application was Yesterday filed with the
Attorney General Of this State. requesting MN to
commence proceedings for the suspension and re-
moval OF the president OF the New York central
Railroad Company.
The grounds ON which The application for removal
is based that the president Of the New York Cen
tral is Illegally nuriug the stockholders by making
low rates " fares and ireights In order TO
compel the Ei1e managers who, of course,
have to make similar rates, to withdraw
tle personal claims against him IN the settlement
OF the five million SUIT. The question involved Is
novel one. a. to how far the manager OF corpora.
ton can use his Official position TO accomplish his
personal ends. Al the recent meetings oil the Trunk
lines the Eric managers offered to Withdraw the
suit upon satisfactory arrangements being perfected
but Commodore Vanderbilt insisted upon the with
drawal Of the suit first. This the Erie managers
would not do, so the meeting broke up without ac-
complishing any result and the ruinous competl-
ton Is being continued.
