JH encloses tide observations just received from Sir J. Franklin. The nautical part of the magnetic expedition is to be considered as officially recognised - as verbally declared by Lord Minto to Lord North, [John W.] Lubbock and JH. The fixed observatories were also accepted by Lord North and JH in an interview with Lord Melbourne and Spring Rice. However the Royal Society has received no written confirmation to confirm the above. The expense of the instruments will fall upon the British Association, and therefore exceed the grant of £400 by some £200.
