The Time-ball may be used to-day for rating chronometers. A chronometer true on Greenwich time •would show 12h.' 30m. when the ball drops. Any difference is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer. The powers that be will confer a great boon upon the shipping community in general,' but more particularly on the captains of our numerous coasting fleet, by causing mooring piles to be erected at intervals at the breastwork. At present the captains of our coasters discharging alongside the breastwork,- have to moor their vessels to pieces of wood, an Iron tank, or anything that comes to hand. A very frail kind of fastening indeed. Some fine day, when it is blowing strongly from tho N.W., the different vessels will drag their moorings, and then it is not at.all unlikely that they will hot only carry the pieces of wood to which they are attached, but also carry, along with them a thousand'feet of timber.
