JspxczAL DISPATCHES TO THE HERALD BIZ CABLE.
LONDON, Dec. 8, 1874
Ths following special dispatches to the
HERALD have been received at this bureau
from Professor E. Hail. Chief of the Ameri-
can expedition in Siberia.
NA VLADIvosToK, Dec. 8, 1874.
We have just concluded our observa-
tions of the transit of Venus. The morning
was dull and hazy, and for considerable
time little hopes were entertained of the prob
ability of successful observances being made.
HOPEFUL UNDER DIFFICULTIES
Clouds obscured the sun from dawn, but as
the morning advanced the sky cleared and
the luminary was distinctly visible through
the equatorial telescope. His beams grad
ually frightened, and as the decisive mo-
ments of the commencement Of the transit
drew near his image was distinctly printed
on the background Of the camera used
by the photographers. The equatorial ran
splendidly with the clockwork, and
the segment Of the sun about to collide with
the planet remained fixed steadily before the
observers eye.
DETERMINATION OF TWO OF THE CONTACTS
As the planet advanced and touched the
suns limb the moment was signalled with &C.
-curacy; but, owing to the drifting Of haze
and clouds between, it was impossible to OBJ
tain good photographs Of these contacts. The
vapory state of the atmosphere lasted until
about an hour after the second con-
tact. Nevertheless. the moment at which
this contact occurred was likewise OBJ
tanned. When Venus had crept nearly
half way across the solar disk, the haze dis
appeared sufficiently to admit Of photo
graphic images being obtained. Thirteen
negatives, well and distinctly executed, were
taken on glass plates while the planet was in
position, SO that it will be possible to map the
planets track on the Photographic image of
the sun after the return of the observers
homo. The weather throughout was rather
calm and the temperature very moderate for
such climate as this in the depth of winter,
the thermometer resting at thirty-four degrees,
Fahrenheit.
THE oBsERvERs IN GOOD HEALTH AND SPIRITS.
ALI the members of the expedition have
enjoyed good health up to the present. and
there is every probability of their continu-
ing 30.
Many days previous to the transit the
longitude of the temporary observatory had
been determined We interchanged de-
spatches with the party at Nagasaki, aiding
them in determining the precise latitude and
longitude of their observatory.

NEWS FROM EGYPT AND CHINA.

The vicissttudes OF Elemental Favor.
LONDON. Dec 8, 1874
The Astronomer Royal has received de-
spatches from the expeditionary parties sta
toned at Egypt for the purpose of witnessing
Venus transit across the sun. At Cairo and
Suez the closing stages of the phenomenon
were viewed under favorable auspices. At
Thebes, the site selected for the photographing
operations, the artists were perfectly successful
in obtaining pictures Of the planet during her
early in the morning when the phenomenon
was scrutinized there.
DEPRESSING NTEILIGENCE FROM CHINA.
The intelligence communicated to Sir
George Airy, from Shanghai (China), is not SO
gratifying. It appears that there the weather
was singularly unpropitous. The heavens
were darkened all the forenoon to such an ex-
tent that no observations, even Of the sun, could
be made. This station being so far east (lati-
tude 81 deg. IL min. north, longitude 121 deg.
% min. east) would have served admirably
for the application of Delisle's plan Of calcu-
lation, which is the pet method of the Astron-
omer Royal. and the i'll success of the observ-
ers there will no doubt cause some embarrass-
ment in consequence.
