A LUNAR RAINBOW.—At eight o'clock on Sun'
day evening week a perfectly-formed lunar rainbow
was visible over the town of Sligo, and continued in view
for nearly an hour. Shortly before twelve o'elock it rained
heavily, with a strong breeze from N.W. and during the
night it blew a hurricane, which continued until six o'clock
on Monday morning, after whi:dh rain set in, and with a
alight intermission continued until Tuesday afternoon. At
nine o'clock on that
half night another lunar rainbow was
visible, forming
a circle, and storm and rain lasted
through the night. Wednesday morning, at six o'clock,
the sun shone out, and the day was fine until half-past
three o'clock, when it again commenced to rain which con-
tinued for two hours, after which the evening was dry.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 142 i per cent., and the premium on
gold is 29 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
importation of gold from the United States,,
