VVilkie Tubakina — Mrs Jatnes Stewart Wanganui— Mr H lieson Jones The Publishers have much pleasure in presenting tneir subscribers and the public generally, with the Wellington Almanack for J863, boing th© ninth year of its publication, and have every confidence that the present issue will, in point of completeness ot details and usefulness of character, not only equal but surpass its predecessors. j The D irectory has been carefully re-wiitten, all the requisite alterations andadditions have been made, and every effort used to ensure that this department of the work shall be as correct and complete as possible. It will thus prove of essential service both .o the community, aud to strangers visiting Wellington. The New Tariff, which ia published in full, will be found valuable as a reference to tho British and Colonial Merchant. The Sailing Directions have been gathered from the most recent aud authentic sources, and will, no doubt, he properly appreciated by masters of vessels aud others. The Gardener's Calender has undergone a careful revision at the hands of Mr Robinson, and several important additions have been made to its previous uetaila, which it is believed will make it in point of practical value equal to anything of a similar kind that has yet been published in the Colony. „,,.. The Tables and astronomical calculations are all reduced tothe Meridian of Hpitea Point, Port Nicholson, the Longitude of which is 174° 49' 15" East of Greenwich, (or in time 11h39m. ITs. earlier.) as determined by Captain Stokes, R.N. The Latitude of Hpitea Point is 4l Q 16' 87" South. In calculating the time of the rising and setting of the sun, which ißgivenin«p/w»m»/ lime, this latitude is employed. To find the mean Urne t or what the actual time should be by watch, at the rising or setting of the sun, the Equation, (as directed in the column for Equation of time) must be either added or substracted. The table of the Sun'a Declination, the most important column of all, to the Masters of our Coasting vessels, will be found correct to within a very few seconds, the Compiler having taken special pains to ensure the nearest possible approach to absolute accuracy, . ' The Moon's Meridian passage is given in astronomical time. This table is used in calculating the tides and its correctness may be relied on. Tho Phases of the Moon have been reduced to •Vellittgton civil time. The Statistics relative to Religion, Education, Population, Land, Agriculture and Stock, have been compiled from the last census returns, while the Imports and Exports, have been obtained from the Custom House The Publisher have to tender, their grateful acknowledgments to those gentlemen, who have kindly lent their aid, in preparing the present edition of the Almanack. The painstaking labour and scientific acquirements, which Captain W. M. [ Smith R.A.. has evinced in the preparation of the astronomical tables deserve high praise, while tho ! professonal knowledge of Mr. Robinson, and. | others has rendered the Gardeners Calendar much more perfect and complete than before* The Directory has been prepared by Mr. Edwards who has made every exertion to ensure its com pleteness and accuracy, and the general" assistance he has afforded in other departments, has been of much value. i Our sincere thanks are due to those who have favoured us with advertisements, the large mvmber ! of wbich afferds a satisfactory and cheering index, i not only of the character and increasing prosperity of trade and commerce in V\ ellington, but also of the public spirit of its inhabitants.
