THE NEW SYSTEM OF NAVIGATION.

TO THE EDITOR OP TDB NORTRERN TIM ES.
Sin,—l am sure your nautical readers will
peruse with much satisfaction, the following copy
of a letter received by me this day —I am, sir,
your obedient servant, S. 111. SAxBY.
el Local Marine Board, 71, Cornbitl, London,
August 20, 1857.
Boar?, at their meeting to-day, and in the
presence of .51r. Boulter J. Bell, their examiner 0
navigation, and Captain John Domett, secretary and one
of the examiners in seamanship, had much pleasure itt
witnessing the quickness and correctness with which, by
your Spherograph, you got a great circle course, and the
distances on it, and ascertained the latitude at sea, the
variation by amplitudes and aztrin h 4, the time at sea, and
found the true distance between the moon and the sun, or
a star, for obtaining the longitude. The Board are of
opinion, that y,,ur tables will be found of great practical
service at sea, and recommend them to the favourable
cmsideration of nautical men —I am, sir, your mokil
obedient fervent, (Signed), D, DUNBAR, Chairman.
