THE CoMET.-A correspondent of the London Times
having asserted " that what appears to be a tail is
no tail at all, and that If we could see the comet as it
is, it would be found TO be a body surrounded by a
thin luminous atmosphere, but that the superior
brightness of the suns rays shining upon this extin-
cuisines the whole of it except that small line which
is intercepted by the body Of the comet; consequently.
the so-called tail is only a small radius or slice Of the
circumambient atmosphere-the only part which the
sun permits us to see." Another correspondent
saws lie us then see how the appearance Of
things carries out this novel proposition. In the first
place, the profile of this so-called tail is perfectly
even-a smoothness of outline difficult to explain
upon any other grounds than the above. If, for in
stances, we assume that this tail is n stream or corus-
cation Of sparks left behind by a body rushing,
rocket-like, through the air, then this outline would
be as jagged and bushy as q horses tail or a birch
broom. Secondly, this quasf-cauda has q slight curve
or DETECTION ut its extremity-just such n shadow as
a body travelling past the sun Mt n rate of one million
miles q day would project. The umbra in such a
case would, 50 to say, not be able to keep pace with
It's body, and n slight bend like that Of a g~oosequill
would be seen Mt the end. Thirdly, il the crystal
tresses' Of our hairy scourger are q bona fde tail.
how comes it that they uniformly point in the same
direction, quite irrespectively Of the way in which
their head is going. The due direction Of a tail, like
that Of the wake Of a ship, ought to be behind it, not
diverging ~forty-fve degrees more or less"

II American eagles are shipped to Europe, the
equivalent in exchange is 81 1867 per pound, or
1904 per cent, to which are to be added freight and
insurance. If British gold, the equivalent is accord
ing to the terms on which it can be bought in open
market, and so with California bar gold. Gold being
Of intrinsic value, is shipped at a smaller profit than
any other commodity; and a very small fraction Of
profit often determines its Shipments low as one
sixteenth of one per cent. in many cases.
Forty-three ounces of gold Of the American fneness
of 900 are coined into exactly $500 worth Of eagles
or half eagles, and 40 grains are equal to one ounce.
We can, therefore. obtain the par Of exchange in this
way Divide the British equivalent of 125,56l grains
for the legal weight of their Victorias by 4SO, we
have the decimal 1265S4 part of an ounce of gold;
which, at the rate Of $500 for forty-three ounces, is
Just equal to S4,S6.67, or 1904 per cent-according
to the common mode of reckoning the exchange.
We beg to call the attention Of the Chamber OF
Commerce to the ~propriety of altering the mode Of
computing exchange on England. This is their
proper work to do. Ii is a simple and easy thing,
and only requires a little steady perseverance, Let
the rate OF exchange be so many dollars and cents
per pound sterling.
The par Of exchange between Paris and New York
is rcckoned by our Mint at So "a per each full
weight twenty franc gold piece Of Louis Napoleon;
P~hilippe's gold twenty franc piece weighed more, and
was equivalent TO 81 80.
OF course, the varying rates of interest in the mar
kets of London and New York greatly influence the
shipment of gold. When the rate Of interest is high
in London, and now, the shipment Of gold can be
made at less than actual par with profit.

HoPrxG AGAINST HoPk-The Philadelphia Press
relates n touching incident connected with the loss of
the steamer .9usfria, Illustrating the shopping against
hope'' which some Of the surviving relatives enter
tain. The wife of Mr.. Theodore Gerok. Of Baltimore,
Ia now visiting her relatives in Philadelphia. and
while they have no doubt Of his loss, she alone has a
deep conviction that he is not dead; either he vss
not on board the Austria Qhough he wrote to her
that he had actually paid his passage,) or, il he was,
that he must have been among the few who were res
cued. 1t may be within the knowledge of u.any of
our readers that a clergyman of this city was among
those who left for Europe on the Inflated President,
and who was never again heard Of. His wife, who
remained in Philadelphia, and was deeply attached
to him, never did. because she never would, believe
that he was lost to her. Eighteen years have passed
away, and yet that trusting lady-we cannot speak
of her as trJe, and she rcpudiates the name Of tcidow
CONTINUES to expect his return. Every ring at the
bell, We are informed. awakens the cherished convic-
ton of her heart that the loved one will return.

FOREIGN ExcHAxGR-We make room for the fol-
lowing interesting extract from the New York indie
pendent, upon the par Of exchange with England:
The true par of exchange between the two countries
is the exact equivalent Of gold in the standard coin OF
England for our gold standard.
The full weight Of the British sovereign is 1Z33
grains, but sovereigus are received as n legal tender,
If weighing 1921 grains The legal fneness is y
carats, or g163 thousandths. The weight and fine
ness Of Victoria sovereigns are 1888 grains, and 9io3
thousandths- Our half eagle weighs 129 grains, but
the fneness is 900 thousandths.
To ascertain the true equivalent, the fneness must
first be equalized. The 1858 grains OF tie Victoria
sovereign of the fneness Of 9164 are equal TO 125.5ol
grains Of the reduced 6neness Of 900, namely:
Grains Fine ,asa
1855 e - -3.;s;s s s.
The 6neness being thus equalized, We obtain the
proportion Of
Grains Of Half Grains Of Victoria
1a iss55i 4,sss 81
The true par of sovereigns Of legal weight is there
fore S4s6.67; or q small fraction over S4-S6 per
pound, which is equal, according to the customary
mode Of exchange, to 1904 per cent, namely:
Nominal ~
s4sees
English gold coins of the reign of George ~. and
william ". are. however, generally below the legal
standard about one-thousandth as to hneness; ana
the weights are found to vary from Oil to o,l24
dwts., for 1000 sovereigns The master CT the Eng
iish Mint has ordered all new coins to be OF the exact
legal standard-916s thousandths.
The average weight Of 6neness OF the sovereigns
coined previous to the present reign, are as follows:
Value in
wa;,bt Fiueness. Federal Money.
c.rrs 49, rains el54 81 SIS
1000
Williams la do. do 40
The par value of these averages S4.S4 as near as
can be, and is recognized as such by our mint, which
is, in the common language of tho sterling exchange
market, equal to a small fraction under lo9 per cent
namely:
