at steady prices. Shares were very quiet, but firm.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY FOR FINDING THE Aurrrumt OF
THE 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 withexactness the altitude of the sun in
very cloudy ve,ather. 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 obsefTrntion." when otherwise they would
have to rely upon their dead reckoning merely. The ex_
tent of the unportaDce 61)4,1 value of this discovery, if upon
unerring principles,
an mak: be conceived by those who will
its accuracy. The Committee
g
have the opportunity of testin --fer to the great interest
of Lloyd's in reply to Mr. Harn. i. -wearily view the dis-
with which the nautical world wi
lik making it known
covery, and their readiness to assist 4,1144,
