-liOTDEN'S 6N'ASTROidNiI-

Oii..lllonday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next Mr. Holden will
deliver a course of lectures on astronomy, at the Liver Theatre,
which wilt be repeated at the Same place on the Thursday, Fri-
day, and Saturday of the same week. His list of subscribers, we
understand, Contains the names of the most distinguished pa-
trons of science in the town. . .

Mr. Holden's talents as an astronomer are vouched for in
very flattering testimonials, signed by about thirty professional
and other gentlemen of Preston, at the head of whom we find
the name of the Rev. Roger Carus Wilson, M.A., vicar of that
place. Mr. Holden has also been recommended to the notice
of the public by a gentleman connected with the Royal Obser-
vatory, Greenwich, an extract from whose letter we feel great
pleasure in publishing:—
" Royal Observatory, Greenwich, May 1, 1833.

"When you exhibited your transparent orrery, I was indeed
highly delighted : the appearances of the moon and planets
were so natural, that I imagined myself looking through a pow-
erful telescope; also the appearance of solvible and insolvible
nebulae through optic tubes, &c. In fact, the whole of your
grand exhibitions, with the simple and clear instructions you
conveyed by your lectures; left upon my mind sensations which
can never forget ; and anugh I saw your scenery and heard
your descriptions repeated at Hull, and in other parts of the
kingdom where you kitidly invited me to visit you, I was never
weary Of tteir repetition; and would deem it an indescribable
pleasure, if I were so situated, to visit Preston at the present
time, and witness the whole once more."-" Yes, my dear
fiiend, although I am every day employed in the first observa-
tory in the world, and using instruments of the very best kind,
and viewing by them the belts of Jupiter, the ring of Sat Urn,
the frozen poles of Mars, the horns of Venus, the spots of the
Sun, and the Moon's varied disk, rivers and mountains on her
spotted globe;' yet, my friend, I should deem it a mental feast;
to see and hear your praiseworthy performances.

"WILLIAM ROGEftSUN."

POLITICAL PAAIPHLETS,*EDITED BY TIMOTHY
OLDBUCK, YEOMAN.

It has long been, and more especially for the last live years,
the foul disgrace of the supporters of conservative principles,
that they have silently permitted the disciples of anarchy and
confusion to deal out their anathemas against the best institu-
tions of our country unanswered and unchecked, and to drug
and poison the mind of the lower orders with their penny and
three-halfpenny trash unregarded and unrebuked, except in
the higher class of publications, which, from their price, are
beyond the poor man's reach. The bane has belt scattered
with a profuse and unsparing hand, while the antidote tits been
only doled out to the enlightened few, and virtually withheld
from those who most need its counteracting and healing influ-
ence. - In -this respect the conservatives have been less wary
than ntheir adversaries, and to this circumstance may he attri-
buted much of the alienation which has taken place between the
upper and lower classes of society, and the successful propaga-
tion of revolutionary principles which at one time assumed so
alarming an aspect.

To a few gentlemen of Liverpool belongs the honour of em-
bodying the first conservative association, and to the press of
Liverpool belongs the credit of sending forth a twopenny pub-
lication, under the title prefixed to this article, which, if it con-
tinue to support the character its first number entitles it to, will
counteract, if it du not annihilate, the whole fry of radical
writers from Hetherington and Carpenter down to John Arthur
Roebuck, Esq., M.P. for Bath. To show what will be the cha-
racter and objects of Timothy Oldbuck's pamphlets, we copy
the two first paragraphs of his introductory address to his
readers.

" This publication does not start into existenco under any
false colours. I wish to intimate, as explicitly as possible; to
my fellow countrymen, that the consistent advocacy of the tri-
umphant principles of sound conservative reform, will consti-
tute the leading features of the pamphlets which are thus
ushered to the notice of the public."
"The radical and republican factions are busily at work.
They spare no effort in endeavouring to proselyte the whole
mass of the people. They remit no pains in disseminating their
dangerous tenets through every corner of the land. They know
the great moral power of the press; and, appreciating the in-
fluence of this mighty engine, they avail themselves of every ex-
pedient for the purpose of bringing their ruinous doctrines un-
der the notice of every class of society. Hence arises the mul-
tiplied variety of cheap political publications, which find their
way into every cottage of the land. Of the pestiferous character
of these silent missionaries of evil, I shall. hereafter, I trust,
have many opportunities of communicating my opinion."
Timothy Oldbnck we wish thee all manner of success. A
goose quill is thy hand is a formidable weapon; go on as thou
hast begun; sharpen thy pen and eradicate the radical vermin
which have too long been suffered to nestle and swarm in the
cottage, and inflame by their venomous bite the best blood of
the people of England.
