Pooley Roupell❘ Chas. John Simpson Henry Barker Alexander Glennie Carteret J. W. Ellis John Wallace King George Platt Edward Young Thomas Bros Report of the Observatory Syndicate for the year 1830. The Syndics are of opinion that, during the preceding year, the duties of the Observatory have been ably, faithfully, and zealously discharged. The Transit being at present the only capital instrument in the Observatory, the observations have necessarily been confined to the determination of right ascensions. The Equatorial is now nearly finished, and is expected in the course of one or two months. The Circle advances more slowly, but some impediments to its completion being now removed, Professor Airy hopes, in the course of the year, to present the Senate with some observations on North Polar Distances. The volume containing the Observations of last year is before the Senate; on the subject of their accuracy, the Professor observes, that, "with increased experience, a more complete system, and increased accuracy in the revision of the calculations, have been acquired; and though he is certain that there are very few errors in the last volume, he dares pronounce, with equal certainty, that there are fewer in the present publication." It will be seen that a corrected Catalogue of Fundamental Stars in Right Ascension has been made, which, so far at least as the differences are concerned, the Professor thinks worthy of confidence. The places of 137 smaller stars have also been well determined. There are besides 133 observations of the Sun, 53 of the Moon, 40 of Mercury, 92 of Venus, 40 of Mars, 17 of Vesta, 6 of Juno, 9 of Pallas, 13 of Ceres, 50 of Jupiter, 47 of Saturn, and 53 of Uranus, in all 533 observations of the planets, reduced, and by a very laborious calculation compared with the tables. There are also ten occultations of the stars and planets by the Moon, reduced by a very troublesome process, so as to exhibit the errors of the Lunar Tables, and under such a form as may best conduce to their correction. In registering these observations, the Professor has made it a constant rule to reduce them all as far as is practicable, so that any one who may hereafter make use of them, may have no trouble which he can possibly be spared. In concluding this Report, the Syndicate cannot but congratulate the Members of the Senate on the rising prospects of their Observatory, which, from the celebrity of the instrument makers, and the earnest which the Professor has already given of his ability and accuracy, they confidently anticipate will shortly hold a distinguished place in the annals of astronomy.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. As we are not Swedenborgians, we have taken the liberty of returning the MS. respecting the late Rev. J. C. to our Publishers, where it may be had. A Distant Reader," "Gaelic Episcopal Society," and "E. W.," have been received. "E. S." is under consideration. The inference that "Lector" must draw is, that the List has not been forwarded to us as promised. THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER. SEPTEMBER, 1831. REVIEW OF NEW PUBLICATIONS. ART. I.-Brief Memoirs of the late Right Reverend John Thomas James, D.D. Lord Bishop of Calcutta; particularly during his Residence in India; gathered from his Letters and Papers, by EDWARD JAMES, M. A. Prebendary of Winchester, and Examining Chaplain to the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. 8vo. Pp. xxxix. 204. London: Hatchard & Son. 1830. Price 7s. 6d. In taking our leave of Mr. Le Bas, we hinted that it was our intention to complete our summary view of the history of the Indian Church, by examining the biography of Bishop James. Every particle of matter relative to this subject is so deeply interesting, that we think our readers will expect, and are entitled to receive, all that a publication limited as ours can afford to communicate. With regard to the two first Bishops of the Indian Church, we have given, we apprehend, a tolerably fair outline of their conduct, difficulties, habits, dispositions, and achievements; and with regard to Heber, we have, we trust, set at rest for ever the false views of his character so sedulously propagated by designing partizans, and so readily received by their uninquiring dupes. More than this, we conceive, was not expected from us; and we should feel, and (we believe) communicate great pleasure in pursuing a similar track with regard to Bishop James. This, however, we regret to say, is not in our power. To write a memoir of a Protestant Bishop of India, or to compile one "from his letters and papers," might seem a task which must, at all events, rescue an author from the danger of dulness. Even Mrs. (reader, supply the name; we cannot: Heber it was- "Hectoris Andromache, Pyrrhin' connubia servas?") even that lady brought forth a book of supreme interest, though consummate clumsiness, —but still, we repeat, of supreme interest, because it was compiled "from the letters and papers" of Heber. To render a book of this kind not only clumsy, but positively dull-not only ill-arranged, but -- |
