Dec. 26 .Thebet 10(1854)Jan. 10 The Jewish Era dates from the creation of the world, which the Jews believe to have been 37604 years before our era began. The Jewish year is luni-solar, or formed agreeably to the motions of the sun and moon; and hence the Jewish calendar is more intricate than that of any other nation. The year varies in its length, and may have 353, 354, 355, or 383, 384, 385 days, and 12 or 13 monthis, of 29 or 30 days each. Ve-Adar is the intercalary month, and is introduced between Adar and Nisan; the latter of which is the first month of the Jewish ecclesiastical year, and Tisri is the first of the civil year. In a cycle of 19 years there are 7 embolismic and 12 cominon years,

Dec. 2 The Mohammedan Era began with the day after the flight of Mohammed to Medina; which event occurred in the night of Thursday, July 18 (N. S.), 622 A. D. The year is purely lunar, and consists of 12 months, embracing 12 lunations, or 354 days. The intercalary, or leap-years, consist of 355 days. In a cycle of 30 years there are 19 common and 11 leap-years. Since the Mohammedan year is 11 days less than the tropical year, "it is obvious that in about every 33 years the above months will correspond with every sea son and every part of the Gregorian year." The 9th month is the month of fasting, at the close of which the feast of Bairam begins.

The times of the SUN'S RISING and SETTING are

adapted to the upper limb, by correcting for a mean horizontal refraction of 36 min. 6.86 sec. of arc.; which causes the Sun to be seen on the horizon before he has actually risen, and after he has really set.

The MOON'S RISING is given from Full to Change, and its SETTING from Change to Full.

The times of the Upper TRANSIT of the NORTH STAR are calculated for the meridian of Washington, and are exact to the nearest second of time. The time of the Lower TRANSIT for any given day may be found by adding 11 h. 58 m. 2015 s. to the time of the preceding Upper Transit. This column is designed to facilitate the computation of the Rising, Setting, and Meridian Passage of the brightest FIXED STARS, by using the numbers opposite the same in the Star-Table. It will also be found of some service to surveyors and astronomers. Should there be room in the Almanac for 1854, we may add the times of greatest eastern and western elongations of the Pole Star for several latitudes.

MOON'S PLACE.-The symbols and numbers in this column indicate the Moon's place in the Signs or Constellations of the Zodiac, to the nearest degree of longitude, at 7 o'clock P. M., New York time-Pisces being regarded the first of the signs. Its position gives it no influence over men, animals, or plants.

MOON'S AGE.-This column shows, to the nearest tenth of a day, the Moon's age at noon, Washington.

MOON IN MERIDIAN.-This column shows the time the Moon is "south," or in the meridian of Washington, and is nearly the same for all parts of the United States. TWILIGHT AT NEW YORK.-This table shows, at intervals of five days, the times of beginning of twilight in the morning. and of the end at evening-the Sun, at the computed instants, being 18 deg. below the horizon. The table serves for the latitude of New York, extended through the United States to the Pacific ocean.

THE MOON'S PHASES.-This table shows the times for seven meridians, when the Moon passes the geocentric longitudes of 0 dg., 90 dg., 180 dg., and 270 dg., from the Sun. The TIDE for Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston, is that one which follows immediately after the Moon in open sea.

column of Sun on Meridian shows the minutes and seconds, before or after 12 o'clock, that the Sun is on the meridian. The Sun is seldom on the meridian at 12 o'clock; indeed, this is the case only on four days during the year, namely, April 15, June 15, September 1, and December 24. Consequently, when the Sun is on the meridian, or when its shadow strikes the well-made noon-mark, or when it is noon by the sun-dial, the clock must be set as many minutes and seconds, before or after 12, as the Almanac shows.

DIRECTIONS FOR KEEPING TRUE TIME.-The

The practice of setting tiinepieces by the rising or setting of the Sun or moon is not strictly correct, as the uneven

ness of the earth's surface and intervening objects, such as object. Then set the clock as above directed, and it will be hills and forests, near the points of rising and setting, occa-exactly right.
