STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND
ULVERSTONE.—It will be gratifying to many of our
northern subscribers, as well as those interested in the
trade of the port, to learn that a communication by steam
is now established between this port and Ulverstone,
which will not only open a new channel for supplying this
town with the excellent produce of Cumberland and West-
moreland, but will offer such facilities for excursion par-
ties, and those visiting the lakes in the ensuing season, as
we trust will repay the spirit of the enterprising origi-
,tators. Special trains, in connexion with the Zephyr,
(the steamer appointed) will forward all passengers from
Piel Pier to Dalton. and omnibuses run between Ulcer-
stone, Dalton, and Furnace Abbey. It is the intention of
the company to provide in every way for the comfort of
'passengers, and to ensure this they, have placed the ma-
bagement here under the able superintendence of Messrs.
Joseph Saunderson and Co., of Water-street.
ASTRONOMY.—We do not consider that any apology is
necessary for reminding our readers of the popular lec-
ture on astronomy, to be delivered, at the Music Hall, on
Friday, by Mr. Fisher. All the purchasers of tickets
will have the satisfaction of contributing towards the li-
quidation of the debt on St. Barnabas' Schools, whilst
they receive much more than the value of the money in
the shape of a mass of valuable and interesting informa-
tion conveyed in a very popular style on a branch of
science with which every one should be more or less ac-
quainted. If it were only borne in mind for a moment to
what extent those laborious and self-denying gentlemen
*re public benefactors, who unlertake the toilsome and
thankless (for the most part) office of establishing, con-
ducting, and mainta'aing National and Sunday Schools,
for 500 or 600 children, in a poor and populous district,
the public, we are convinced, would feel that they, after
all, do but a small part in cheerfully contributing the
necessary funds. Having observed so recently on the
' character of the intended lecture, and the peculiar value
.and excellence of the illustrations, we content ourselves
'now with adding our suffrage also to the praiseworthy
.generosity. of Mr. Fisher, in giving so cheerfully his inn-
*ortaut services gratuitously to such an object.
