THE PROTESTANTJust ALMANACKublished for 1841, in a Book
and Sheet, price THREE-PENCE each : containing a Record
of the most important Historical events, relative to the origin
and process of Papal usurpation, persecution, idolatry, and
corruption, from its rise to the present time, together with
a most accurate Tide-table for London and Liverpool, also
much useful and instructive information of the utmost value
to Protestants of every denomination, compiled by JOSEPH
CRISP, Liverpool.
The great encouragement given to the publication of the
" Protestant Almanack for 1840," although brought out
under every disadvantage, has determined the compiler to
spare no trouble or expense in the design and arrangement of
his Almanack for 1841. The Almanack will contain beauti-
fully executed Wood Engravings of

HE MARTYRDOM OF ARCHBISHOP

HEAD OF BISHOP RIDLEY

MASSACRE OF Wl'. BARTHOLOMEW,

HEAD OF BISHOP LATIMER,

SEIGE OF DERRY

DERRY TESTIMONIAL, &C. &c.
As nothing but a most extensive sale can cover the heavy
outlay upon so cheap a work, the compiler sincerely trusts
that every good friend of the cause will use his endeavours
to extend its circulation.

ana ?ATENT LENS CANDLE-LAMP,
FOR RENDERING THE LIGHT OF ONE CANDLE EQUAL
TO THAT OF MANY, is an invention for increasing the quan-
tity of light in any required direction, by means of Lenses,
and without any additional cost of candle. Without the
Lens it forms a handsome Table Lamp, having a dome shade,
and a contrivance for receiving one, two, or more Lenses,
that may be applied round the flame as wanted, so that as
many as eight persons can sit round one Lamp, and each
have a strong life cast on their work or books. For reading
by the fireside, or when lying in bed, it possesses an advan-
tage never before offered ; in the latter case particularly, for,
as the lamp need not be removed from the table, no danger
from fire can arise.
The PATENT MAGNUM CANDLE-LAMP, with Can-
dles of Three and Four Wicks, and giving as much light as a
large Argand Lamp, continue to be much approved by pur-
chasers. Some late improvements enable the Patentees to
offer them with increased confidence ; also the TABLE-
LAMPS, the NIGHT-LAMPS, CHANDELIERS, &c.
For lighting churches, and other public buildings, either
the Magnum Candles, or those of a smaller size, will be found
greatly preferable to oil.

- The superiority of Candle-Lamps, for cleanliness, their not
requiring snuffing, trimming, or cottoning, is manifest ; and
considering the extraordinary consumption of oil in all lamps
made to burn cheap oil, and their liability to spill, they will
be found to be for most purposes probably cheaper than any
other portable light.—Apply to

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 it is capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, and is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes now in use, while its
price, the carriage from London included, is considerably
less.

The Directors, before mentioning the various uses to which
Bitumen is applicable, have great 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 such 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,

verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6cl. 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.

ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY GUARD.—On Thursday after-
noon, as a railway guard named Harrison, was proceeding from
Leeds to York by the half-past eleven morning train, he en-
deavoured to pass from one carriage whilst the train was in
motion, near the Bolton Percy station, but he missed his
step, and fell down, whereby he Was so much injured on one
of his legs and one arm, that both the limbs were obliged to
be amputated the same day.—Leeds Intelligencer.
RUMOURED APPOINTMENTS IN THE LAW.—The persons
who are spoken of at Westminster for the officer of Solicitor-
General are Mr. Dundas, Mr. Seargeant Talfourd, Mr.
Charles Austin, and Mr. Erle. Mr. Dundas, in the event
of his appointment, would be certain of his re-election for
Sutherland. Mr. Erle, in similar circumstances, would he
almost certain of a defeat at Oxford. Mr. Sergeant Tsl-
fourd's seat is in a doubtful condition. Mr. Charles Austin,
in the event of his appointment, would in all probability be
sent to Edinburgh. Mr. Justice Littledale has consented
to continue in office until the conclusion of Hilary term,
after which, and before the commencement of the spring as-
sizes, it is expected that he will certainly retire.—Time:.

STATE OF IRELAND.-A gentleman of this city, Exeter,
has lately received a letter from his intelligent daughter, who
has been in Ireland for some months. The following ex-
tracts are very interesting and important :—" I must tell you
a little of the kind feeling of Popery here towards us here-
tics. A few miles from this place (Buttevant) there is a large
Roman Catholic chapel and congregation, and a very small
Protestant church thinly attended. It happened that the
person who used to pull the bell of our church was absent,
when a little boy, 12 years of age, was called in, to toll it for
church. Poor little fellow, it came to the all-powerful Ito_
wish priest's ear; on which the boy was brought to the Po-
pish chapel the following Sunday and publicly cursed and ex-
communicated for entering the Protestant Church, and as-
sisting the Protestant worship ! It needs no comment, lam
sure. Yet the Whigs and radicals on your side of the water
are for giving Popery more power ! Heaven help us Pro-
testants should they ever get what they want—repeal. I
don't know what our English girls would say were they made
to do the following penance :—For looking at a Protestant
soldier the priest made an Irish girl walk barefooted to the
bishop of the diocese, a great distance, carrying her shoes and
stockings in her hands, she being ordered not to put them on
on any pretence—she was given a letter, and ordered to bring
back an answer, to make sure that she went! I saw a man
the other day who had not had linen on his back for 10 years ;
his back looked like leather, and I was told it was for pen-
ance. lam afraid we shall have a terrible disturbance yet in
Ireland ; John (her husband) says I shall go home, but I say
no, I will never run, a la Lord Ebrington, who has just left
when he ought to be here. Dan. O'Connell is agitating the
people dreadfully. I wonder government does not stop it ;
but it appears they wish to excite a row everywhere, perhaps
with a view of pickim; up the crumbs in the scramble. The
Papists openly make their boast, and say they shall have the
fire yet, to make the Protestants dance in ! Pray God to pro-
tect our dear old England, and detect all traitors, for we have
plenty of such here, and I fear there are too many with you."
