Discovcbt or a New PiAnkt.—It
was announced by tho. astronomer T.o-
vc’rrier, about twelve months njjo, that
lie discovered certain perturbations in
tho movement of tho planet Mercury
near its perihelion, which coiild ha ac
counted for only by the existence of
another body between that planet and'
the sun. As tho discovery of Xcptuno
was owing to a Mimilar observation and
calculation* founded upon it, public at
tention begun to l»o directed to the sub
ject with mi equally happy result. On
the Uftth of March, a Dr. l.ascarbmilt,
who resided at Urgeros, near Chartres*,
France, and had long boon un attentive
observer of the heavens, saw a small
black round spot pass over tho sun’s
disc.
lie calculates that it* diameter is 310
leagues ; the inclination of Its orbit to
tho ecliptic I'J degrees; the period of
revolution round the sun 19 days and
17 hours; while Its greatest apparent
dis mice from the Min is seven degrees,
or ten million* of miles, that of Mercu
ry being thirty-seven millions. M. be-
vorrier accept* ' hi* as the plain# lie had
detected bv abstract calculations. Mr.
Benjamin Scott, an Bugli-dimam has
since, put in a claim of previous discov
ery, having observed. lie says, a similar
phenomenon as long ago a* 1847.

A Paring Act.—An instance of in
trepidity is related by the Bombay
Times. * It appears that while? a party of
fifty persons of the Jewish community
woro ongnged in conversation previous
to prayer, Mr. Hcuben unwittingly rous

man caught tho cobra in the middle of
its body, hut it darted off with a violent
jork, and again turned upon .its assail
ant. Air. Roubon, however, held tho
cobra a second time in liis hand, and
giving it a swing In the nif, struck its
head again t t ho ground several times,
and killed tho dangerous replllo, much

Choate** Coolness.
At tho tlmo of Mr. Choate’s great
speech for Buchanan in Ia?well, Mom.,
there was a sudden settling of tlio hall
where they were. A Lowell gentleman,
Hon. Benjamin F. Butler, well known
as a lawyer and politioian, volunteered,
to go out and examhio the support*, un
derneath. Hu did so; uud, to his sor
row, he found them in *iieh u state that
if there should be* the leiist rush oc tint
audience they Would ii\ovitably. give
way, the roof, and Uoor would go togeth
er, and all would he Involved in a com
mon ruin. AYitli groat fortitude he
wont quickly unek, and, to provo there
was no danger, walke?d the whole
length of the. crowded hall Up to tlio
platform whore the speaker* and presi
dents were.
As ho passed, Mr. Choate leaned
down uud asked him if he found dau-
ger. The gentleman, keeping hi* face
perfectly unmoved, so us not to frighten,
others, whispered into Choate’i oar with
characteristic abruptness, “If wo can’t
get this crowd out quiotly, wo shall all
be in Ii—il in five minutes.” As might
have been expected from so blunt and
torrihle n communication, Air. Choate'
face I»ccnme ashy pale ; hut lie controll
ed Jri/nself and sat perfectly steady.—
The gentleman mounted tho stage, as-
sureei the people there was no roid dan
ger, hut to guard against the mere pos
sibility of danger, he advised them t<
withdraw quietly, vory quietly into the
open air, whole tho speech would go
on. In five minute* tlio hall was
clear.
Dreadful as had beep the moment'
shock to hi* feeling*, Air, .Clioatea hu
mor did not even desert him; for a* he
atoppod from tlio hall himself, ho said to
hi* friend who had made tho announce
mout to him: “And did you really
