Prof, Elins Colbert was then (ntroducea, and dolivered an Interesting off-hand address upon what lie terraed ** the so-called planet Valean.™ Ho opencd by speaking of tho request of a forelgn astronomer, who nsked native astronomers to ob- rerve ihe sun on the 2d or 3d of October, and to _ note there wers apy transit of Vulean. The planet was ~not scen, and LeVerrier, the astronomer, asked that observ- ations Le uzuin taken on the Uth and 10th, but was taughed at tor his paina, The Professor then en- tered upon the history of Vulcan, going back to the discovery of iranus in 1781, then supposcd to be a comet, ‘e followed It down to the time when it was discavered that there was some unknown force altering the courre of Urung LeVerrier under- toak the calculntion of the disturbing force, In 1840 he annonnced that he had discover:d that there was such a force, and located It' anl Galle, a German ustronomer, pointing his telescope to the point named, found a planet and made LeVerrier famous throuvhoit the world, Later rescarches denionatrated {hit LeVerrior had aadly miscalcu- Inted In the distance of the new planct from the sun and the volume of smatter It con- nnd L that he hody, and the Germng aetronomer had accldentally stum- bied upon his discovery.

Tho Irofceror waa presmrcu to deny the accuracy af the deductions, Ho went carefully into tho varlous obsorvations, and drew the logi- cal concluslon that it was impossible for a planet placed whero Loverrier placed it to got around the sun in the timo he urlzhmly allotted to It, withoht wpsctting tho theory of LaFlace, This he strengthesied by the announcemeng of the fact that none of the otservations wpon which the plonet was based have been made by professional astronomers, but entircly by amateurs, Lo pro- ceeded ina very Interesting manner to acconnt for tho apots wern 1o which hie gave_ an clliptical orbit, deglmyln:: the thcory of Inter-Mercurial pluncts, U'rol, Babcock: delivered an address on his new discovery of Lhe netion of ferns, Prof. C.

Thelr Responsibllity to tho Stockholders for Wrong-Dolng. New York Merald, Oct, 5. The war proposed on behalf of the 8,500 stockholders of the Michigan Central Raftrond Company and the 4,500 stockholders of the Lake Shore Road ngainst the rectors of bath, which hins been alrendy outlined in tho Herald, is now, it scems, taking substantiol form and organlzation. It s clalmed on behalf of the stuckholders and thoso rupruwnllnfi them that during several years pnst the Michizan Central Directors, who'at the last _clection n:);rumnlcd but nlittle over $2,000,000 out of $18,000, stock, have pald about 85,000,000 unlawfuily to other branch roads, and are paying out auninlly nearly $1,000,000, with equal wanut of authority, in vulndon of law, and in direct fraud of the stockholders, Into whose lpockuls the monoy thus unlawfully paid should qn. These pro- cecdings are, {t ‘seems, being Injtfated on be- halt of the stockholders of = these two Companles, under principles of law-holding Directors of raflway companies to a strict responsibility as ‘I'rustees oppolnted by the courts. In violation of this principle and of thelr anthority it s claimed that after the vresent Michigan Central Dircctors had been clected they passed a resolution declaring the Cumlmn 's_obligations to the bLranch rosds equally binding ‘as its own obligations on the parent road of which they were Directors, muun{: wiich obligations are bouds of the branch roads taken for Iron and other supplics furnished those roads, and at a discount reachs fug in sonic instances to nearly 50 per cent. This principle of law, though rarely advanced or suught to be enforced hithierto, secms, in the opinion of exrcrhmued lawyers, to be well set- tled. In conformity with the wishes of thoso acting for themsclves and other stockholders, and to fortlfy them in thelr proceedings, it was submitted to Mr, H, 8, Bennett, who was prom- Inent In the famous Pacific Mall litfgation, to ;la_rcpnrn an opinion on the questions of law. his opinion, which was rendered yesterduy, and In which Messra, Robert Sewoll'and A J. ‘Vanderpoel concur, is as follows: New Yonx, Oct. 4, 1870,—70 Messrs, Brayton Irea, Vice-f'resident New York Stock Exchange Jinfus Ialch, Russell Sage, Camman & Co., White, Morris & Co., T, M.
