THE Directors of the Preston and Wyre yailway Harbour and Dock Company hereby given Lice, that the har bour improvements having been so far c pleted, under the plans of Captain Henry Mangles De am, R.N., F.R.S., as to permit a straight course direct orn sea into the har bour : the same will be denoted, on ' d after the Ist day of December next, by the exhibition f TWO HARBOUR LIGHTS, from which date the shore beacon, known as \\Tyre Mark, will be discontinued. These Lights (of fixed white character) will appear to the Mariner in upper and lower order when brought in line upon the bearing of south, to which bearing their brilliancy is limited, and will guide bins right up the sea-reach of Wyre according to his draught and time of tide, instead of depending on daylight for navi gating the buoyed but serpentine deep. The said Lighthouse structures are in addition to the Screw-pile Lighthouse erected at the western point of entrance last June ; and pre sent for a day leading-line two columns of the relative alti tudes of 104 and 44 feet above half-tide level : The inner and higher column rises conspicuously from the town-site, is of red sand-stone colour, and when in line of the lower light, appears between the Custom-house and the Sea-view Hotel, with a spired church half a point westward. The lower Lighthouse stands at H.W. mark 850 feet in advance of the higher Lighthouse : it is of light coloured stone, 'Pringing from a square colonnade, and makes out in relief w hen in line of the higher column. The two lights by night, IS r a black ball at the lower column of the twoby day,indicate St th e present stage of harbour improvements nine feet water right up, which increases to eighteen upon neaps, and twenty five feet upon spring tides i eicn sc le cud buoyed deep etglicr6. at half-tide, twenty-four at H.W. neaps, and thirty-one feet on 'LW. springs. The relative height of lights are so ar ranged as to dip the higher below the lower when you have passed through the new Cut, and may haul south-eastward for the mooring-buoys, where twenty feet water is retained at low-water springs. Two black buoys mark the eastern side of the Cut, and a black and white chequered buoy the western side. The Cut lies at the inner, i.e. southern, portion of the leading line of lights.* _ H. M. DENHAM, Consulting Marine Surveyor. N.B.—Whenever the above shore Lighthouses are ob scured from the entrance by haze during day tides, the lamps will be lighted to assist the Mariner's eye. * Vide " Denham's Sailing Directions for Port Fleet wood," published at Mawdsley's, Liverpool, and Bates's, London.

Barrelled and forwarded to any of the country TO THE ELECTORS OF NORM TOXTETH WARD GENTLEMEN, THE sincere regard I entertained for your late excellent Representative, and my friend, Mr. W. W. CURRIE, renders it extremely painful to me to address you,,so'very shortly after his melancholy decease, as a Candid to for the Representation of your Ward in the Town C ncil. The duty has been forced upon me, however, t early, by the circumstance of active measures havin eady been com menced by the party to whose politi opinions lam op posed. Having passed the greater portion of my life in your im mediate neighbourhood, and taken a zealous part in almost every political struggle in which you have been engaged, my sentiments must be pretty generally known. I conceive, however, that the duties of a Member of the Town Council have reference to the local interests and wel fare of the community ; and beg to assure you, that so far as my humble abilities will permit, I shall cheerfully support any measure which I believe likely to benefit my neighbours, and the inhabitants of the town generally. To the system of combined Education which has been adopted in the Corporation Schools, I avow myself decidedly opposed. At the same time, I should deplore that the chil dren of the Roman Catholic poor in this community should be uneducated ; and I therefore would hail with pleasure any plan of separate instruction for them, which would not in volve a compromise of Protestant principles. I ask from those who differ with me in Religion, the same freedom of thinking and acting which they claim for them selves ; and I assure you, Gentlemen, that in strenuously supporting the Church of England, of which I am a member, I am far from considering that it forms part of my duty to act with intolerance towards the members of other persua- sions. With these sentiments, and at the earnest request of many respected individuals of your constituency, I beg leave to solicit yonr support upon the present occasion. As a personal Canvass, during the short period that must elapse before the Election takes place. is almost impossible, I trust I shall be excused for not undertaking it. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ALEX. SMITH, JUN. Fairview-house, Toxteth-park, 12th November, 1840. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS THE accounts lately received from Macao, bAght intelli gence of the English having been total}] expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by he /Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war ; n ther words, China is at war with England. And the ions upon which the two countries are now at issue bei of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impo sihle, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as Gs. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. ner lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jown . RHODES Pin- DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. Bolton ...... G. J. French, Silk Mercer. Bradford .... J. Pratt, Chemist.

" We could not have beiie;e7iitpossible to add to the high estimation in which we have always held the most graceful artist of our age and country. Yet this series has enhanced it, and so we venture to affirm it will be with all who examine it. The prints are so full of beauty ; so natural, and yet so abundant in grace; so freely conceived, and so admirably composed ; the figures being so faultlessly grouped, and every detail so applicable and so fitting, that we must class the col lection far above any book-illustrations of our time. The volume of old John Bunyan, so embellished, is worth a score of guadily dressed quartos, that seem dwindled by a sense of their own worthlessness. The drawings, moreover, have been engraved as they ought to have been : it is absolutely refreshing in these days of stipple-poverty to find such men as Mitchell, Goodall, R. Graves, Sangster, Watt, and Stocks, engraving book-plates, and reminding us of the great old man whose pencil was so eloquent, whose conceptions were akin to inspiration and who has left us a store of pictorial lessons as great in extent as they are wonderful for wisdom. Mr. Seeley has entitled himself to the gratitude of all who love art, by raking up these hidden treasures and placing them where tens of thousands may learn from them."—Art Union, Dec. 1839. " The lamented Stothard's charming and characteristic designs from Banya n ' s i mmor t a l wor k . "—Lit erary G azette, 11220 our eye or a long time. It is beautifully printed, and the illustrations, which are numerous, comprising engravings on copper, steel, and wood, are of the very first excellence. The former are from the designs of Stothard, and they are in our opinion, his chefs-d'alivre."—Asiatic Journal, .Tan., 1840. " This is without exception the most beautifully illustrated edition of any standard work with which we are acquainted ; and when we mention that it is embellished by an admirably engraved series of no fewer than seventeen of the noblest productions of the pencil of our British Raffaelle, the late lamented Mr. Stothard, and is printed and edited in a style worthy alike the name of John Bunyan, and the exquisite engravings with which the work is embellished, our readers will not consider praise so unqualified as hyperbolical. " As a set of book illustrations, executed in the heyday of the painter's power, they are unrivalled by any series of en gravings which have lately fallen under our notice."—United Service Gazette, Jan. 4, 1810. Stothard " never touched a subject without investing it with some new grace of beauty peculiar to himself. Were this not sufficiently evident from any of his antecedent works, it would be amply proved by the present, wherein he seems thoroughly to have caught the spirit of the author, and lent an additional charm to pages replete with interest before."—Parthenon, Jan. 25, 1810. " This is beyond all comparison the most beautiful edition of Bunyan's great enchanter that has yet seen the light. The typography, paper, and pictorial illustrations, are equal to the best specimens of this improving age : and to our taste, the illustrations are more happy and less disfigured by ex aggeration _than any we have ever had the opportunity of —Evangelical Magazine, Feb. 1840. examining. • " With - out exception the best and most beautiful edition extant.... The plates are from Stothard's designs, and this is an ample guarantee for their elegance and beauty."—av ford Herald, Jan. 25. " The great attraction of this edition are the illustrations, which consist of a series of the best designs we ever saw from the pencil of Stothard, eminent as that artist was. We ►rust conclude with recommending this edition to every admirer of Bunyan, as being, at the same time, the most splendid and the most useful one extant."—Hull Packet. L. AND G.
