A LUNAR RAINBOW.—At eight o'clock on Sun-
evening week a perfectly-formed formed lunar rainbow
was visible over the town of Sligo, and continued in view
for nearly an hour. Shortly before twelve o'clock 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 which rain Bet in, and with a
Might intermission continued until Tuesday afternoon. At
nine o'clock on that night another lunar rainbow was
visible, forming half a circle, and storm and rain lasted
through the night. 'Wednesday morning, at six o'clock,
the sun shons 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 1421 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 Statef.
