HAYMARKET THEATRE.—This Theatre was
opened last night for the delivery of a series of
Lectures on the interesting and instructive
science of Astronomy, by a Gentleman of the
name of GooDAcaE. The Lecture was merely
introductory, and the funds accruing from it were
to be devoted to the aid of the charitable Insti-
tution, entitled " The Refuge for the Destitute."
Although it did not coincide with the plan of the
Lecturer to display all the means of which he is
in possession, to do justice to his theme, such as
he permitted his audience to view were sufficient
to establish this Gentleman's pretensions ade-
quately to discharge the duties of the task which
he has imposed on himself. lie took a very able
and comprehensive view of the antiquity of the
science, and followed the history of its rise and
progress up to the state of it at the present time.
The affinity of this science to many others, toge-
ther with its importance and necessity as the
foundation of knowledge of a higher description,
were ably pointed out. Its eminent utility in
unfolding to the mind an idea of the immeasurable
power and wisdom of the great CREAToit of the
Universe, by a survey of this most splendid part
of his works, was dwelt upon with impressive
energy. The diagrams, and auxiliary scenes and
mathematical instruments used by Air. Goon-
ACRE for the illustration of his text, are all ex-
cellent and appropriate. They have the merit
also of being original, having been all constructed
under his own directions. The closing scene,
displaying the relative motions of the ►i'lanets of
our System, is particularly interesting. These
Lectures may be said to have commenced at an
appropriate period of the year, the Earth being
this day in the perihelion Of its orbit, or at the
nearest point to the Sun which its annual course
in the Heavens permits it to attain.
