201r improvements having been so far completed, under the
Plans of Captain Henry Mangles Denham, R.N., F.R.S.,
as to permit a straight' course direct from sea into the har-
°solar : the same will be denoted, on and after the Ist day of
reember next, by the exhibition of TWO HARBOUR
tiIGHTS, from which date the shore beacon, known as
Yre Mark, will be discontinued. These Lights (of fixed
;Mite character) will appear to the Mariner in upper and
o''er order when brought in line upon the bearing of south,

Which bearim, their brilliancy is limited, and will guide
nu right up the sea-reach of Wyre according to his draught
"Ilt 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-
tilant for a day leading-line two columns of the relative alti-
21des of 104 and 44 feet above half-tide level ; The inner
r.ild higher column rises conspicuously from the town-site,
f red sand-stone colour, and when in line of the lower
ir,t, appears between the Custom-house and the Sea-view
with a spired church half a point westward. The
"""er Limhthouse stands at H.W. mark 850 feet in advance
:f the higher Lighthouse of light coloured stone,
rlr,in.„‘ing from a square colonnade, and makes out in relief

at tl'ack ball at the lower column of the two by day, indicate
right present stage of harbour improvements nine feet water
gut UP, which increases to eighteen upon neaps, and twenty-
&we feet upon spring tides ; whilst in the buoyed deep eighteen
at half-tide, twenty-four at H.W. neaps, and thirty-one feet
H.W. springs. The relative height of lights are so ar-
"lnged as to dip the higher below the lower when you have
tossed through the new Cut, and may haul south-eastward for
the mooring-buoys, where twenty feet water is retained at
'°w-water springs. Two black buoys mark the eastern side
the Cut, and a black and white chequered buoy the western
1(1e. The Cut lies at the inner, i.e. southern, portion of the

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,

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 I
executed by the Company.
