TIDE TABLE. The column in the calendar pages which is headed H. w. shows the time of high water for the port of New-York, and is for that tide which immediately precedes the southing of the moon. The following Table contains the difference between the time of high water at New-York, and a variety of places on the American coast. The time of high water at any of these places may be found by subtracting the difference at the place in question from the time at New-York, when the sign- is prefixed to it; and by adding it when the sign is. For example, to find the time of high water at Albany, May 8 the column H. w. gives 3h. 41m evening for the time of high water at New-York; to which add 6h 33m from the Tide Table, and we get 10h. 14m. evening for the time of high water at Albany. For the time of high water at Charleston, June 5: the column H. w. gives 2h 12m evening; froin which subtract 1h 39m, taken from the Tide Table, and we have Oh 33m evening for the time required. NOTE. In this Almanac, the phases, and the rising and setting of the Moon, &c. are given in mean time; but the rising and setting of the Sun are given in apparent or dial time, which may be reduced to mean or clock time, by adding thereto when the sun is slow, or subtracting therefrom when it is fast, the cor responding time found in the column entitled sun slow, or sun fast.
