Abstract
THE long-anticipated Transit of Venus took place yesterday morning; and already has the first instalment of news from distant observers arrived. The Astronomer Royal has been good enough to inform us that Col. Tennant's observations at Roorkee, India, have been quite successful; 100 photographs have been taken. He also telegraphs, at the moment of going to press, the gratifying intelligence that the micrometric observations near Cairo and Suez, and the photographic observations at Thebes have entirely succeeded.
