IMPORTANT DISCOVERY FOR FINDING THE ALTITUDE OF
TIIE SUN IN VERY CLOUDY WEATHER.—A letter has been
addressed to the Committee of Lloyd's, by a Mr. Harn, of
Victoria-street, Norwich, relative to a discovery made by
him for ascertaining with exactness the altitude of the sun in
very cloudy weather. To the maritime interest of the world
this discovery is of the greatest importance, as it will enable
commanders of vessels to ascertain the latitude and longitude
of their ship, "by observation." when otherwise they would
have to rely upon their " dead reckoning" merely. The ex-
tent of the importance and value of this discovery, if upon
nnerring principles, can only be conceived by those who will
have the opportunity of testing its accuracy. The Committee
of Lloyd's in reply to Mr. Harn, refer to the great interest
with which the nautical world will necessarily view the dis-
covery, and their readiness to assist hlm in making it known
for the benefit of all interested.

PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is I 1 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 25 44; and the exchange at Paris on Loudon at short
being 25 574, it follows that gold is 0.53 per cent, dearer in
London than in Paris: By advices from Hamburgh the
price of gold is 4334 per mark, which, at the English Mint
price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13 9i ; andf the exchange at Hamburgh on
London at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.80 per
cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.

POST-OFFICE.—It is a strange and anomalous fact
that a letter from Paris reaches Galashiels sooner than one
from Glasgow, the latter usually lying twenty-four hours at
Edinburgh.—Border Watch.
