It f^ expected that the Comet of 1556, which caused such universal terror in Europe, will revisit the Sun towards the close of 1848, or in the beginning of 1849; but from the liability of these bodies to deflection from their course, b]r the -attraction of the more remote members of the solar system, neither the place nor period of its re-appearance can be predicted with certainty. The constellation Corvus has been poi:.ted out asa probable direction. . EXPLANATION OF THE ARTICLES IN THE CALENDAR. The Day of the Year, reckoned from the first of January,.is useful for aeeertaining the interval in days between two given, dates. Sun. RisinjG and SETTfNG. — Themean time of Sun setting is given for Toronto and Montreal, for every day. If the time of Sun rising is wanted for either of those places, subtract the mean time of apparent noon from the mean time of setting, and subtract the difference from the mean time of apparent noon, for the time of rising. Example. — Required the time of Sun rise at Montreal, on the 1st January : — A. m. Sun sets at 4 21 p.m. Mean Time of App? i '^nt Noon 12 4 * Difference 4 ,17 Sun Rises .? 7 47 A.M. The mean time of Sun rising and settiig for every tenth day, is given for Quebec, Halifax, and Fredericton. If the time is wanted for any intermediate day, enter the table ol Semi-diurnal Arcs (Page 2), with the Sun's declination for that day, the value given, subtracted from, or ddded to, the mean time of apparentn the meridian, or f of the motion of of the successive easure an interval in the average of mean Sun, having Hence, when it is in Sun.

Pole Star is on the meridian, is given for the 15th of each month, being the hour when it is due north. L). signifies Upper Culmination — L. signifies Lower Cul.T)ination. The greatest elongation of the Pole Star from the meridian, varies with the latitude of the place : it is abuiit 2° 4' atToronto, 2° 8'.5 at Montreal, increasing at the rate of about 1'.5 for every degree of latitude -between 40° and 50?*. To find the hour when it is ou the meridian on any other date, multiply 3m. d6.5s. by the interval in days, — add the product, ii for a date before the 15th ; subtract it,'if'for4i date after the'15th. Eclipses of Jupiter's Satellites, visible in Canada, are given, magnifying power of forty, is sufficient for observing these phenomena. A telescope with a Semi-diurnal Arcs.-— This table is useful for determining the times of rt'stn^ and setting of the heavenly bodies. Enter the table M-ith the declination of the object: under the proper column for the locality will be found half the time which the object remains above the horizon, whi'ch-is to be-subtracted from the time of its meridian passage, if the time of rising is required, or added j for -the time of setting. Example. — Required the time of rising for the Planet Jupiter, at Montreal, July 1, 1848. Declination of Jupiter, 21° N. ' hi'tn. Corresponding to which we find the semi-diurnal avc 7 32 Jupiter on meridian » 34 Jupiter rises 5 2 m Meteorological. — On the first pagevjf each-month is given the mean temperature for Upper and Lower Canada; to which is added the mean temperature of the South of England, for comparison of climate. The mean temperature of Toronto is derived from the records of Her Majesty's Magnetical Observatory, for the six years, 1841-46, — by permission of the Director, — and is ihe mean' for the twenty-four hours. The mean temperature for Nicolet, on Lake St. Peter's, in Lower Canada, is derived from the register of the Rev. Frangois Desauniers, for nine years, 1838-1846, published in the British American Journal of Medical and Physical Science, vol. iii. Nicolet is situated in latitude 64° 14', longitude 72° 19', and may be considered a middle point in Lower Canada ; but the mean results are derived from observations at 6, a.m., and 3, p.m., only; and are, therefore, above the mean of the twenty-four hours. About 0°7, should be subtracted from each on this account. The mean teniperatures for the South of England, are from observations by Sir T. Harris, at Plymouth, for fiveyears, 1833-37 ; and aie the means of the twenty four hours — the highest, and lowest are, however, from another source,, and are only approximate. We would gladly extend the interest of this table by adding the temperatures for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Island of Newfoundland, if in possession of authentic materials. VARIATION OF THE COMPASS. FROM THE RECORDS OF THE MAGNETICAL OBSERVATORY. The mean variation at Toronto, for the year 1846, was 1° 30' west: it increases about 3' every year. The variation undergoes a daily change, being least from 7 to 8. a.m., and greatest from 1 to 2, p.m. The difference between these values, in the several months, is as follows: — ■'^.

'S September. ... 11.4 October 7 1 H November ,....,. 6.6 December 5.9 The variation is least liable to fluctuations in the a/i(ernoon; it is near its mean value at 10^ A.M., aad 6 to 7, p.m. * 9] JANUARY HAS THIRTY-ONE DAYgl.

I l! 4a THE COPYRIGHT LAW. P The Law of Copyright, as extended last session of the Provincial Parliament, is intimately connected with the Customs Law, and may be said to form part of it; for the works of authors ■who do not avail themselves of its provisions, may be re-printed and imported into Canada, on the same terms as ordinary printed books. The Act, 4 and 5 Vic. cap. (31, entitled '" AnActfm the protection of Ci.ipijii':kts in this ProLnnce," provides, Ihat any person or persons resident in the Province, who shall be the author or authors of any book or books, map, chart, or musical composition, which may be now made or composed, and not printed or published, or which shall hereafter be made or composed, or who shall invent, design, etch, engrave, or cause I) be engraved, etched or made from his own design, any print or engraving, and the executors, administrators or legal assigns of such person or persons, shall have the sole right and liberty of printing, reprinting, publishing and vending such bo ik or books, map, chart, musical composi- tion, print,'cnt or engraving, in whole or in part, for the term of twenty-eight years, from the time of recording the title thereof, in the manner provided by the Act. If at the expiration of the said term, the author be still living and residing in the Province, or being dead shall have left a widow, or child or childion living, the same exclusive right shall be continued to him or them, as the case may be, for the further time of fourteen years : Provided the title of the work secured shall be reconltd a second time, and all other regulations prescribed by the Act, in regard to original copyrights be again complied with within six months after the expiration of the first terra. In all cases of renewal of copyright, the proprietor shall within two months cause the same to be published in the official Gazette for the space of four weeks. A copy of the work for which the copyright is obtained, must be deposited in the office of the Provincial Registrar, by whom the deposit shall be recorded, he receiving a fee of five shillings. A copy of the work must also be deposited in the Library of the Legislative Assembly. To ensure the benefit of the copyright, the following notice must be inserted on the title-page, or the one immediately following, of each copy published : — " Entered according to the Act of tb« Provincial Legislature, in the year , by A. B., in the office of the Registrar of the Province of Canada." The penalty on persons printing, publishing, importing or selling the work, during the continuance of the copyright, without the consent of the propiietof, is the forfeiture ol every copy to the proprietor, and a forfeit of ten shillings currency for every sheet found in his possession, to be recovered in any competent court, and one moiety paid to the use of hef Majesty, the other to the legal owner. The penalty for persons publishing, &c., prints, &c., in violation of the terms of the copyright, to be the forfeiture of the prints, &c., and the plates, &c., to the proprietor of the copyright ; and ten shillings currency for every sheet, to be levied and paid as in the case of books. This penalty applies also to varying prints, Ike, by adding or diminishing, so as to evade the law. This act does not extend to works of persons not residing in the Province. Persons printing or publishing manuscript without the leave of the author, lo be liable in damages. Pd .ons printing or publishing any work, &c., and falsely pretending to have the copyright thereof, by insertion of such intimation on the titte-page, shall incur a penalty not exceeding £15 currency, one moiety to her Majesty, the other to the person suing lor the recovery. The right of action for recovery of penalties is limited to two years. The Act applies to works published before its passing, if the authors comply with its provisions. In the session ot the Provincial Legislature, 1847, another Act was passed, " 3'o extend Iha Provincial Copyright Act to persons resident in the United Kingdom, on certain conditions.'^ It provides, that for and notwithstanding any thing contained in the Act above narrated, the pro- visions of it shall extend to any person or persons being British subjects, and residing in Great Biitain or Ireland, as if such person or persons were resident in this Prrvince : Provided that to entitle any such literary production or engraving, being the work of any person or persons, so residing in Great Britain or Ireland, to the protection of the foregoing Act, it shall be Erinted and published in this Province, and shall, in addition to the words directed to be inserted y the previous act, and immediately following thereafter, contain the name and place of abode or business in this Province, of the printer or pi inters, and publisher or publishers, of every such literary production or engraving. The last recited Act puts British authors on the same footing here, with respect to copyright* as authors residing in the Province. It was passed to meet the views of the Home Government* as set forth in a despatch from the Secretary of State, dated 5th November, 1846, (No. 49,) inviting the local Legislatures to pass such enactments as they might deem proper for securing both the rights of British authors, and the interests of the public j and, on the passing of such enactments, the Home Government would Mibmit to the Imperial Parliament a bill authorizing, the Queen in Council to confirm any s^ucii rdoiMal law, notwithstanding its repugnancy to the copyright law of the United Kir gdom : and thiit from thenceforward the imperial copyright law shall cease to have any force wi'.liin mu h Coiony, in so far as it may be repugnant to, or incon> sistent with the operation of any such Coloninl lav/.

By this Act the pound currency is declared to be such, that j£l 4s. 4d currency shall be equal to, and b« a legal tender for, the pound sterling, as represented by the sovereign. And it further affixes a value to foreign coins as under: — £ s. D. United States Gold Eagle, coined before Ist July, 1834, and weighing 11 dwts. 6grs. Troy 2 14 4 United States Gold Eagle, coined after 1st July, 1834, and before the commencement of 1841, weighing 10 dwts. 18 grs.

The Copper Penny, or any other of not less than five-sixths of the weight of a penny, to pass as And the halves and quarters for a proportionate sum. The legal tender of this coin is limited to one shilling. 5 2 1 4 6 10 1 7 i 6 3 3>^ 8 I 1 EXCHANGE. This term is used by bankers, brokers, and commercial men generally, to designate that species of mercantile transactions, whereby the liabilities of individuals to others resident in another country, or at a long distance from them, are adjusted or acquitted. The large transactions between the merchants of two continents or two kingdoms, of one or the other having imiwrted to an amount far beyond the value of their exports, and for the transmission of what will repre- sent the difference of the two, the merchant has to make provision. Did he send coin, he would have to pay a heavy insurance on the metals, beside the expense of freight, entries, brokers' fees, &c.; he therefore draws a bill on a person indebted to him, who is styled the drawee, forwards it to the party in whose favour it is drawn, kilown as the remitter, when it is presented for acceptance, which being done, the drawee is known as the acceptor. The bill may now be retained till maturity, or may furnish the means of settling many amounts between various parties removed from each other, by the sale and purchase of the bill, a« the balance may be for or against them. The debtor in one place, by these transactions, is substituted for the debtor in another. The only expenditure incurred in these transactions would be the postages and stamps, which in any case deducted from the difference in the price of gold and the cost of freight and insurance, would give the abstract value of exchange. It will be affected by difference in the fineness of coins, by mint regulations, or by a sudden increase ofibills drawn on one country, by another. Variations in the actual course of exchange, arising from^ the variation in tb« the currvncy, are nominal only, those growing out of trade are real. ia oooducting the business of exchange, a direct remittance is not always preferred. Thus, a i^ ; merchant in Toronto^ having to diacharge a d»bt dwe hj htm iii LonAm, haa notonlj to ascertain the atate of the exchange between Toronto and London, but also the state of exchange between Toronto and New York, New York and London, &c., for it may be more advantageoaa fbr 'him to buy a bill on New York, giving bi» agent directions to invest the proceeds in a bill on London, rather than remit directly to the latter city. If such difference be less than that resulting from the direct exchange, it will obviously be the preferable mode of remitting ; hot if, on the other hand, that by indirect remittance be more, the direct remittance ought as plainly to he- preferred. BRITISH WEIGHTS AND MEASURES IN USE ON THE SIXTH OP JULY, 1825, And now in common use in the Province of Canada.

By the Act of the Provincial Parliatrient, passed in 1847, any Clergymen or Minister of any Religious Denomination of Christians whatever, is aiithoiiscd to solemnize the ceremony of marriage, in Upper Canada, hetvveen any two peisons, neither of whom is under any legal disqualification to contract matrimony. To entitle any such Clergyman or Minister to 8uch privilege, Jje must be a subject of her Majesty, and have taken the oath or affirmation of allegiance, before the Registrar of the County in which he officiates as such Clergyman or Minister; and at the time of his taking such oath or affirmation, he must produce to such Registrar evidence of his being a recognized Clergyman or Minister of the Religious denomi- nation to which he professes to belong, in the shape of a certificate from the Bishop, Moderator of Presbyterv, Clerk of Conference, Church Wardens, Trustees, or Managers (as the case may be,) of such Dody ; whereupon the Registrar is to grant him a certificate ot his having conformed to the provisions of the Act. The Pegistrar is to keep a record of such oaths, affirmations and certificates, and for each case he shall receive a fee of 5s. This Act is not to affect the rights of Ministers or Clergymen, who were previously authorized by law to solemnize marriage ; and from henceforward, it shall not be necessary for any Clergyman or Minister of any denomination, to go before the Court of Quarter Sessiorw, to give proof of bis ordination, &c., as required by a former law, or to obtain from such court any certificate : his compliance with the provisions of this Act, is declared to be to all intents and purposes equivalent to the other, and all that is necessary to be done, to entitle any Clergyman or Minister in Upper Canada to solemnize the ceremony of marria|;e.

The distance from Lake Erie to Montreal, the head of navigation for Atlantic vessels, is 367 miles; and the total fall from Lake Erie to tide water, is 564 feet. • This Canal has two entrances into Lake Erie— one at Port Maitland, sibout 38 miles West of Buffalo; and the other at Port Colborne, about 20 miles from Buffalo. At both places the Lake is generally open in spring from one to two weeks earlier than at Buffalo. This Canal also communicates with the Grand River Navigation at Dunnville. Two of the large class of Locks are situated below St. Catherines, and steamboats may ascend to that place. t These Canals "were all to be completed in 1847. As steamers will always descend the Rapids outside of these Canals, they will not have to pass each other in them ; and, con- sequently, the width of bottortJ is reduced 50 leet. t Completed, and in full operation. § Completed. The Royal Mail Steamers now descend from Lake Ontario to Lachine, within nine miles of Montreal. II Will be completed for opening of navigation, 1848. ^ These are the dimensions of the old Canal, capable ef passing boats not exceeding 79 tons burden. . 70 PROVINCIAL CANALS, Sec— (Continued.) •> .ir, NAMES OF CAKAL8. * Lock ami Dam at Stc.

THE PUBLISHERS of the Canadian Almanac for 1848, beg leave to tender their respeetTol acknowledgments to those Oentlemen who have Hupplied them with information for its page*. The quantity of matter collected far exceeded what could be comprieed within rhe limits ansigned for the work ; but, in order to avoid, as far an possible, the exclusion of any portion that was deemed to be of essential importance, the Almanac has been cnn^iderably enlargeri, without any correspond- ing increase in price. The Publishers trust that those Gentlemen to whom they are indebted for contributions, which do not appear in the pages of the Almanac for 1818, will, under the circum- stances, excuse the omission. The Publishers of the Canaiian Almanac respectfully solicit contributions for 1849, not only from •11 parts of the Province of Cannda, on cubjwfs of local interest, in a condensed form, snitable for such a publication, but also from the sister Provinces. They are anxious to render the work as e«- tensively useful as pclssible, and applicable to the whole of British North America. They expected to have been able to furnish in the uresent volume, some general information regarding the Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward, and Newfoundland, but were disappointed in re- ceiving the returns they had applied for, with the exception of one from New Brunswick. They invite contributors to send forward their favors as early a;* possible, in order to afford the compilers •oiple time to collate the materials for the Canadian Almanac for 1319. As a general rule, as far ■• may be consistent with the arrangement of the work, contributions will have precedence, according to the order of date in which fliey are rereivpd by the PnbHshers.
