THE NAUTICAL ALMANAC.

Mr. Lyall, the Member for the City, having represented
to the Admiralty that inconvenience was likely to arise to
commanders of ships bound upon distant voyages, in
consequence of the Nautical Almanac for 1834 not
having yet been published, has received the following
letter from Sir James Graham, explanatory of the causes
of the delay which has taken place in its publication :
" Admiralty, June 6, 1833.

" Sir,—ln further answer to your letter of May 30, inquiring
when the Nautical Almanac for the year 1834 may be expected
to be published, I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that the
Almanac is completed, and would have been published this
day, if a sudden attack of illness had not prevented the super-
intendent from finishing the introduction, which is indispen-
sably necessary.
" Howmuchsoever I may regret the delay that has occurred,
it is a satisfaction to be able to state, on the authority of those
most competent to form a just estimate of its merits, that the
sacrifice of time and expense in bringing it to its present im-
proved and enlarged form will be fully compensated by the in-
troduction of many additions and alterations adapted equally
for all the purposes of practical astronomy whether at sea or on
shore.

" Among these may be reckoned the important points—
" 1. Of the moon's place being given for every hour of the
day, which was before limited to noon and midnight.
"2. The places of the four bright planets for every day,
which were heretofore given for every seven days.
" 3. The lunar distances from the planets are now given, as
well as those from the fixed stars.

" And I have further the pleasure to state, that notwith-
standing the expense incurred by these and many other improve-
ments, the cost price will not be increased.
" The Almanac for the years 1835 and 1836 are expected to
be ready for publication before the expiration of the present year.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" J. R. G. GRAHAM.
" G. Lyall, Esq., 3f.P., Winchester-house."

" Born in 1791 ; mai tied, in 1812, Hi tcinthe Mary,

gentleman's name was originally Walhouse, but he assumed
that of Littleton in 1812, on succeeding to the estatto

Prom an earlier edition we take the following
account of his political opinions, excluded from
the account given of him since he has joined
the Ministry :

" Of Whig prineiples; is in favour of free-trade, a mo-
derate fixed duty on foreign corn, the abolition of mono-
polies, a commutation of tithes of a compulsory nature if
requisite, and a reduction of the tax on newspapers."
