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
when 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 the 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.*

scured from the entrance by haze during day tides, the lamps
will be lighted to assist the Mariner's eye.

AT a GENERAL MEETING of the SUBSCRIBERS
to SAINT GEORGE'S HALLebeld in the Cotton

The REVEREND RECTOR BROOKS in the Chair,

A REPORT from the Committee was read, wherein they
communicated to the Subscribers the Minutes of their con-
ference with the Law Courts Committee the Council, at
which a MUTUAL PROPOSAL was adopte to the effect, that
the Saint George's Hall Society shall g. e up the Land voted
to them by the Council, on condition at the Erection of the
Council shall comprise a Hall as w as the proposed Law
Courts ; the St. George's Hall Company raising or satisfac-
torily securing to the Council, a Fund, of such an amount
as shall be mutually agreed on between the Company and
the Council, to defray the expense of the Erection, so far as
shall extend to the fair proportion of the intended Hall.
And the Committee in their Report concluded, by express-
ing their opinion, that the Scheme contained in that Proposal,
was one which merited the most favourable consideration of
the Shareholders.
It was then, on the motion of Mr. LAWANCE HEYWORTA,
seconded by Mr. JottN H. TURNER,

Resolved unanimously,
That the Scheme embodied in the Proposal which has been
read to this Meeting, presents, in the opinion of the Meeting,
the most advantageous mode which, under existing circum-
stances, could be devised, for carrying into effect the object
for which this Company was formed.
On the motion of Mr. W. SLIAND, seconded by Mr.
JOHN WOOLLRIGHT,
Resolved unanimously,—That it is expedient forthwith to
raise the funds necessary for the Erection of a Hall ; and that
for this purpose, the Committee are hereby instructed to call
up and receive from the Subscribers, in so far as not already
paid up, the entire amount of £25 per Share upon the sub-
scribed Shares ; and that the fund so to be raised shall be
applicable, in the manner contemplated in the proposal, in
case it shall be carried into execution ; and, if not, then shall
be applicable to the erection of a Hall, according to the
original constitution of this Company.
On the motion of Mr. JAMES RADLEY, seconded by Mr.
JAMES MOON, .

Resolved unaniniousiy,—That the Committee are also in-
structed to make such arrangements with the Council as
shall be necessary for carrying the proposal into execution,
upon such terms as the Committee shall consider calculated
to secure to the Subscribers and the Public the purposes for
which the Hall was originally intended.

PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY.
THE opinion of several eminent Engineers having been
taken as to the merits of the Bitumen of this Company,
the Directors feel justified in stating that i is capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, .1d is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes •in use, while its
price, the carriage from London incl .ed, is considerably
less.
The Directors, before mentioni s e various uses to which
Bitumen is applicable, have gre. pleasure in calling the
attention of parties interested in the subject, to a most mas-
terly exposition of the qualities of this celebrated Mastic,
delivered at the Architectural Society, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
by Mr. Tite, who brought to the task not only a compre-
hensive knowledge of what had been done, but a mind deeply
imbued with the conviction that much yet remained to do
towards developing all the resources of which suoh a material
was capable.
The Directors are well aware that the qualities of their
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feeling
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudices
against its use which carelessness of application has alone
generated, beg to say, that they have ready prepared a large
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to the
following purposes, viz. :
To the Covering of Viaducts, or Arches of Railways, Bridges,

Catacombs, Wine Vaults, Cellars, &c. -
To the Paving of Pathways, Court Yards, Garden Walks,
Stables, Coach•houses, Barns, Tun Rooms, Malt Houses,
Granaries, Warehouses, Wharfs, Esplanades, Cause-
ways, &C.
To be delivered in Liverpool or Manchester, at £3 per Ton,

cash price ; or
The Directors will execute any of the above Works, in Li-
verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6d. the
square yard each, inclusive of all expenses.
Directions for Use will be forwarded with any quantity.
And the Directors will guarantee the Durability of Works
executed by the Company.
