BY THE AUTHORITY OF HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL
LET FERS PATENT, GRANTED TO EDWARD JUKES
I'HE AVERRUNCAI'OR, a new-invented In-
strument for Pruning, &c. &c. &c.
ke want of an Instrument for Pruning Trees and Shrubs of too
great a height to be reached from the ground, and too weak to
sustain the weight of a ladder, has been long felt. The Aver-
runcator will be found completely to supply that want. With it,
all super litmus branches may be cut from a tree of any height
with the greatest nicety, without the aid of a ladder, and that too
with a )acidity and newness scarcely credible. It wall effectually
destroy all those bags of insects which are so destructive to trees,
and will be found not on'y tte most useful, but the most amusing
last, ument fur Pruning, ever yet offered to the Public. It may
be usel in a horizontal as well as perpendicular direction, and is
nut only calculated for the use of Nurserymen and Gardepers,
but is equally adapted for the use of Gentlemen, or even Ladies,
who may without inconvenience, carry it in their walks round
their grounds, and remove dead and unsightly branches; and by
affixing a entail basket, it is admirably adapted fur gathering
grapes or other fruit banging beyond the common reach, or in
Hot-houses or Green-houses' where the introduction of a ladder
will be entirely superseded by the Averruncator.
This Instrument has th.: approval of some of the most eminent
Nurserymen and Gardeners in the neighbourhood e f the Metro-
polis, and is pronounced by them a must admirable Invention ;
by the use of which, they will be able. to avoid the various clumsy,
tedious, and ineffectual expedients to which they have hitherto
been compelled to have recourse in the necessary and important
duty of Pruning.

PROTESTANT PETITION.

TO THE RICHT HONOURABLE TUE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND
TEMPORAL OF THE UNITED IEI.,:GDOIS Or GREAT BRITAIN

AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.
The humble Pa rITION of the under-igued PROTESTANTS, resi-
dent in the Towit of Plymouth Dock, in the County of Dram,
" Stir:west-1r unTo sou* I.ORDSUIrS,
" That your Petitioners, entertaining a lively sense of the
great hies:jogs they enjoy, under the happy Constitution of this
United Kingdom, feel it a duty they owe both to themselves and
to their country, to declare, at this eventful petiod, their most
inviolable attachment to the just and wholesome laws by which
they are governed—laws founded on the wisdom, and procured
by the blood of their ancestorv, in order to preserve, and secure
to the latest posterity, the glorious advantages of Pt otestant
ascendancy, in the Legislation and Government of this Country.
" Your Petitioners, liumlaly considering it to be a fixed and un-
alterable principle of our matchless Constitution, that the Legis-
lative and Executive Authorities of these Resins., can be admi-
nistered only by Protestants, with perfect safety to the State,
lock, with the deepest concern, at the direful consequences
which would, In all probability, ensue, from a complete emanci-
pation, and re-adinission into power, of hie Majesty's Catholic
subject-.
4. Your Petitioners beg to he clearly undi ratuod as Mtending no
hostility car persecution whatever &saint their Catholic fdlow-
stibjetts, being fully desirous that they should enjoy, in common
with Protestants of every denomination, the most free and ample
toleration and protection in worshipping God after the dictates
of their consciences; but brill pc; suaded that the tenets and
principles of the Runii.h Ch Arch remain the pains as ever; also,
reverting to the unhappy situation of this country, previous to
the Revolution'of when the Catholic religion wis armed
with pul.tical power, and contrasting it with the prosperity and
welfare, which have been so eminently and uninterruptedly
maintained since that memorable mra, your Petition( re are con-
firmed in the opinion that it is their imperious duty on behalf of
themselves, and posterity, in a conttittitioml and respectful
manner, to declare their sentiments on this most important sub-
ject; and dutifully to implore your most Honourable House, as
the guardian of the l'totestant Faith, and thi! liberties of the Bri-
tish dominions, to resist every claim which may have a tendency
again to restore the Roman Catholics to rte enjoyment of po-
litical power within these realMs; the resistance to whidt,
all occasions, by the religious fortitude of our revered, much
belooed, and afflicted Monarch, will ever endear his name to
ourselves, and to every true Protestant subject of the United
Empire. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. &c."

UPTON and Co. Oii.m Es and COLOUR MANU-

most respectfully recommend the above Oils to the Nobility,
Gentry, and the Public in teceral. Tl•e Sperm Oil in particu-
lar they can offer for all superior purposes, as they pledge titem-
selves to sell it genuine, and in proof of which they warrant it to
burn at least ten hours with a trilliant and pure flame without
requiring the usual and disagreeable attention, namely, rais'ng
the cotton or removing the crust from it, which nuts+ alwtys be
resorted to during that space of time, when the Oil is nut ge-
nuine, improperly prepares, or, of an inferior quality.
Upton and Co. can, with propriety, assert, th their Sperm
Oil cannot be exceeded in fineness of quality at any price how-
ever high, nor do they doubt but their other Oils, ter general
purposes, will be found equally deserving of notice, being all par.
ticularly hue of their several kinds.
