This Company's Derricks are eminently adapted, by their great power, to accomplishing expeditiously itnd economically every description of hoist, whether on land or water, required in Government Arsenals and Navy Yards; br by Dock Com panies, Shipbuilders, Engineers, Contractors, and others ; also, to raising sunken and recovering stranded vessels and their cargoes.

The Company have entered into an agreement with the Marine Insurance Companies, and Underwriters of London and Liverpool, which secures to the former 75 per cent. of the net salvage proceeds (after deducting working expenses) from all vessels and cargoes, sunk prior to the date of the agree ment, which may be raised and recovered by means of their Patent Floating Derricks. In the United States two of these Derricks, belonging to the New York Derrick Company, have raised and saved upwards of 400 sunken _ and stranded vessels, and have 116;AFie hoisted and placed on board the engines and boilers of more than 300 steamers. This Company com menced by paying its shareholders half-yearly dividends of 10 per cent. ; but, since July, 1857, has regularly paid quarterly dividends of the like amount.

't " The. river Juts, rival about a foot since , yester. day. The weather has been extremely warni. About - ) an hour ago (10 p.m.).= it commenced raining. ILL ; spite of the, high water, 'all up the river who are mining are in good spirits. Why don't some_a.the capitithsts - down in your place . come .p.p Here and purchase 'gold dust P No one here purchased it, evert at 15 dols.--the storekeepers, because they would. have to go belay to sell it, and the company, for some reason best known to themselves. I ha4c seers any quantity of men come in and try to sell - their dust at almost any price. - There are now five sluices in operation here, and they p a y o n an average 25 dols. to the men. I think this is under the mark however. I received a letter from - Capt. Snyder this - morning, in which he states that on reaching the ferry, or below the Rancheria, they were seen by the Indians, who left and ran .‘ down the river. He went after them, with the captain of the French company and an interpreter, and induced the Chief to have a talk with them. He took them some two miles down the river, when, on giving a whoop, some 200 Indians made their appearance from amongst the rocks and out of the ravines. Capt. Snyder explained t o t h em that he had com e u p t o make peace with them —to punish A. those who had shot and robbed the whites, and, as this tribe had not been engaged in the troubles, to merely giv e th em no ti ce th a t th e w hit e men were 3 0 in arms, and determined not to be further molested; T that whilst they would punish those who did . ) wrong, in return he would guarantee that on a . white man's molesting them he should be likewise punished, on their informing him or any of the -1 miners. The Indians were well pleased at this. - This morning the whole of the force, numbering some 180 men., left for the Upper Canon, where the Indians belong who have been long engaged in waylaying and shooting the miners. Here it is his intention to demand the guilty ones ; if delivered up, they will be tried and punished; if a refusal to do so is made, there will be but short work made with them. There were some 500 men at the Ran cheria, the most of w h om h a d come d own from the upper diggings. Flour is selling here at from 14 dols. to 15 dols. ; hams at 55c., &c. Three or four gambling-houses are in full blast night and day. Frame houses are going up in all directions ; they numbered some 30 to-day. lam off at daylight in the morning for the Rancheria, and from thence, if possible, I shall go up the river as far as La Fon taine.

" I arrived here yesterday from Fort Yale, with - the intention of going to Victoria, but I found thin6s as cheap at Fort Hope as I could get them at Victoria. I was at the Big Canon on the 11th, and the miners are doing well. I brought down 500 dollars of the prettiest dust that I have ever seen. Mr. Ballou's agent told me that it would be worth 18 dollars in San Francisco. I saw Mr. Pike, on Pike's Bar, and he was making from 7 to 11 ozs. per day to the rocker. Mr. Reddey, on Hiyou Bar, was making from 7 dols. to 10 dols. per day. All the way up the river they are doing well. Please excuse further. PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, SD. that Lord-Derby did more than he promised. - sir G. C. Lewis, - who had held the honourable office of Chancellor of the 'Exchequer, and was a man of great education, had lately stated that no Reform Bill would. he acceptable which did not savour strongly of democracy. He (Sir H.. Stracey) did not 'exactly understand this, as he did not see how any limit to. democracy was to be secured. As far as he understood democracy it meant the govern ment of the people, and - he looked upon this as leading at any rate to the indulgence of the wildest passions without any. guard whatever ; he there fore looked upon democracy and revolution as syno nymous terms. He did not believe that Lord Derby would ever dream of introducing a bill leading to democracy without limitation, but he had not the slightest doubt that his lordship's bill would have a liberal tendency—that it might even tend to lower the franchise and give members in proportion to the population of the country. It might have liberal tendencies of this kind ; and he (Sir Henry Stracey) candidly told them, that if he were in Parliament, and if the Reform Bill introduced included the ballot, he shoUld be only too- glad to support the measure. The ques tion of the ballot was one which Conservatives had always looked on with horror, and he must acknowledge that noone had a stronger feeling than he had on the subject. He had felt that the 'in fluence of property ought always to be felt, that it ought to be known how that property was repre sented—that is, how persons voted ; and he had also considered that property would not have its proper influence if vote by ballot were established. But he had now had a certain amount of experience in social and political life ; he had been engaged in two elections ; he had fought one contest single handed, and as far as his experience went upon the latter occasion, he had been led to the conclusion that the Conservative cause could not have been injured by the ballot. He was quite convinced that the Conservative cause not only in Norfolk but throughout the country could not be injured by the ballot, if honesty of principle were to prevail without that abominable thing called the " screw." (Hear.) Of this he was quite sure, that the present laws at any rate did not prevent corruption, which had been general throughout the country ; and could things be worse with the ballot ? He very much doubted whether they would not be a great deal better, and he thought the experiment was well worth a trial. If an honest man had an opportunity of exercising his judgment freely, he believed the Conservative cause, in consequence of the exercise of that honesty, would be in the end a gainer. Pos sibly some of them might not agree with him on this subject ; but Lord Stanley, who, as had been ably observed, was a government in himself, had voted for the measure—so that at any rate he was not forming a very erroneous judgment; and he felt himself justified from personal experience in &daring himself in favour of the ballot. Sir Henry, m conclusion, proposed " The Health of the Chairman." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. Subsequently Mr. J. G. JOHNSON responded to the toast of" The Magistracy," and entered a strong protest against the ballot. Referring to Lord Derby's anticipated measure of reform, Mr. Johnson expressed his conviction that it would give numbers their proper influence, property a proper influence, and station a proper influence ; while at the same time it would not seek to over-ride the independent will of the Sovereign, nor to swamp the House of Lords, which had often proved the safeguard of England. (Cheers.) Several other toasts were given in the course of the evening. Fort Yale, Aug. 16. The weather has been intensely hot since I wrote you last, and, as a consequence, the river has gone up about 20 inches in the past three days, stopping many from working. The reports from all the bars below here were highly encouraging ; at Hill's, Texas, and one or two other bars, the amounts taken out have varied from 10 dols. to 90 dols. to the man. On Hill's Bar they took out on last Friday 723 ozs., as I am informed by Mr. Ballou, of the Express, and this he believes was short of the total amount. This was the product of about 150 rockers. At Texas Bar the sluices are paying largely. Above here all who were at work were doing well. Olt most of the bars the water is yet too high to work to advantage. Dry diggings have been discovered about eight miles from here, on the east side of the river. Some parties started over there up the ravines on Friday last, and on their return re, ported that they had found the colour, and. good prospects at that, on every hill, um at last struck good di gg i ngs. Th ey show me 3 dols. 62c., th e p ro d uc t o f 2 4 pans. lII@4 gold was coarse:, with quartz intermixed, and was a fair specimen of placer gold. It created quite a sensation when exhibited in Ballou's Express-of4eo here, and though it was not found out exactly , where it came from, the place is known. In fact, I know that in a short time dry diggings will be found— and rich ones, too—within ten miles, all &round here. I bought the gold, and shall send ate Sah Francisco, as - the first gold that has been found off the river. From Messrs. Calmels and Moran, who were of a party of 14 who went up the Harrison river route, I learn that there were about 250 men mining above the Forks. The water was high. Some 40 head of cattle had come into Fort Dale at the Forks, beef from which was selling at oge,, per pound ; and yesterday I learned that a party of some 300, with cattle and horses, had arrived at the Forks from Oregon. On all the bars below the, Canon the miners were doing well, many making as high as three ounces per day, many not making. more than 7 dols. or 8 dols. Fort Hope, Aug. 21. I left Victoria on Wednesday morning at seven o'clock. No provision being made on the Otter for breakfast or dinner, passengers should provide themselves accordingly. At two p.m. we trans ferred ourselves and our freight on board the Uma tilla. Having a great many goods for the trail cutters, we did not cast off until near sunset. Could not enter the river until morning. There being between 56 and 60 passengers, we spread ourselves and slept comfortably, although the floor (our bed) was rather crowded. Two meals per diem were furnished at one dollar each, and they were really good, fresh beef, salmon, potatoes, tomatoes, &c. I should remark, en passant, that a little more atms tion to the wants of those on board would be pro. perly appreciated. The Sea Bird is nearly ready for launching. The reports which may reach you of dead bodies found floating down the river are true. On Murderer's Bar (suggestive name !) there are about a dozen substantial log houses, and we saw the miners at work with cradles—report says paying well. The river seems at a stand—neither falling nor rising. Many, very many, are leaving, not so much discouraged as frightened. The Go. vernment must protect those from whom they exact the pay for so doing. Give the miners less pre. mises and more safety. GOLD -VINING IN VICTORIA. The old and desultory mode of gold seeking in the colony of Victoria is fast giving way to more regular and scientific proceedings. The few years I, T . which have elapsed since the discovery of the pre dons metals have sufficed to elear off the surface deposits and those portions of gold which lay im mediatelybelow them. R e g u lar mining operations have now become necessary , in order to extract the " precious metal, and for such a state of things the old regulations of the miners have of course become _,s 3 totally inapplicable. The great success of the Clunes ehcoagnssoisceiabtuiotnws,ashas_ mining copartnership, formed under very unfavour able circumstances and subjected to many unneces sary b ur dens consequent upon the state of t t h o e .a l c a e w r: The old shown t only p failed osed tot such can be conducted , tinT. that taiwii regular exten t t ar mining operati ons with great profit. and washing alluvial drifts. system . of hunting for ally abandoned is, in fact, being gradu ally increasingas uncertain and unsatisfactory, and - a little number .. of those who have made up their minds to a life on. the gold fields, and who have • capital to start with, are preparing to betake themselves to systematic quartz crushing. That there is still much gold left among the ordinary workings there can be no doubt, and the occasional discovery of such monster nuggets as that which was recently turned up, will always keep some miners sinking and burrowing for them. Butthese great prizes are few, while the blanks drawn in the. „- lottery are many. Th e s t ea dy an d cer t a i n profits' L'3 of continued attention to quartz crushing have at- ,-.713 tractions for those who prefer a safe calculation to ft risk, while . the pursuit is not altogether destitute of _ the exe - itement of great and sudden gains. There have 'been some yields from quartz quite as surpris ip.:g and satisfactory as the discovery of many of the ' exhibition nuggets. Starting from small beginnings, often a failure at first from the expensiveness and inefficiency of the machinery employed, quartz - crushing is assuming daily greater dimensions, and promises completely to eclipse in its results the achievements of former years and of common digging. It will add to the stability of the colony and confirm its reputation for wealth; for, as the quantity of auriferous quartz is practically inex. haustible, not only will the annual yield be i n _ creased, but it will be assured and made reliable. Great fluctuations in the amount of gold produce& will be avoided, and t he value of the yearly export- , will be sufficiently determined to be relied upon by e commercial men with tolerable certainty. The legislature has at length recognised the change in -- the methods of working the gold fields that is talk-- :aar jug place, and laws have been passed to regulate?, 1 0 mining partnerships as well as t o grant leases of , sufficient areas of auriferous land to justify the im- - - portation and erection upon them of adequate machinery.—Australian and .Yew Zealand Gazette. ~7T I~ THE SUN, LONDON, WEDINESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1858.

The fatter pledged himself that none of_his.men should .be allowed to leave . their barracks, and it was anticipated that all would go well that evening. At dusk, however, a body of militiamen, going outside the fortifications, came into the town by Queenborough-wall. They first attacked a poor fisherman while going to his boat; which was lying near the wall, and beat him so severely about his head and -face with their sticks that hardly a feature remains distinguishable. They • then rushed into the town and commenced breaking the windows of the Fountain Hotel. At the time they were thus engaged a piquet of 100 Cork Rifles, under the charge of a commissioned office; was drawn up before the hotel,' and stood silent specta tors of the acts of their comrades: The men then pro ceeded to, demolish the doors, shutters, andifta . dows of a number of other houses ; and as it was found that none of the .piquets would act to.preserve the property or protect the persons of the townsfolk, application was made to the Royal Artillery for 'assistance. Accordingly,' 100 men of this corps, under Captain Wragge, were despatched in aid of the civil authorities, and the rifle pickets were or dered to barracks. The Royal Artillery proceeded forthwith to clearthe town of the militiamen, many of whom took forcible possession of houses to evade apprehension. The inhabitants followed the artil lery picket and cheered them heartily. Within half an hour Bluetown was cleared, to the great joy of the residents. Yesterday the chief constable of the county force, Capt. Ruxton, and two county magistrates arrived at Sheerness, and an investiga tion was instituted, at the colonel commandant's office, the result of which, it is hoped, will be the immediate removal of the North Cork Rifle Militia from Sheerness, where the cores have disgraced the uniform they wear. Strong pickets of the artillery were to be placed aroundthe fortifications last night to prevent the rifles leaving barracks, and every precaution has been taken by the commander-in, chief. CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT NORWICH. An interesting meeting of the Conservative party of this city took place last evening, the occasion being the anniversary meeting of the " Eldon Loyal and Constitutional Club." The proceedings derived some importance from tho presence of Sir Samuel Bignold, late M.P. for Norwich, and Sir Henry S. Stracey, formerly M.P. for East Norfolk, and the unsuccessful. Conservative - candidate at the recent election for that constituency. The toast of "Her Majesty's Ministers" was, of course, received with enthusiasm by the staunch Conservatives present. At a subsequent period of the evening the health of Sir Samuel Bignold, the leader of the Conserva- tive party in Norwich, was proposed, and received with much applause. Sir SAMUEL BIGNOLD, in returning thanks, said he had been described as the leader of the Conser vative party in Norwich, but on the present occa sion he rather preferred rising as a private indivi dual. He thought the members of the club had met this year under rather more auspicious circum stances than those under which they assembled 12 months since. They were now under the auspices of the Earl of Derby, and he had no doubt that they all felt that that Government was more in accord ance with the welfare of the country than Lord Pal merston's Administration. Allusion had been made to his (Sir S. Bignold's) having once been a successful candidate for the representation of Norwich; but at his period of life he would rather counsel his friends to look out for younger blood as regards the future. Ai the same time they might.depend upon his being true to their standard in season and out of season. He kad been set aside in the representation of the eity7but he did not think that the Liberals had gained much in consequence, for on the first great occasion on which a trial of party occurred Lord Bury, who had taken his place, voted against the Government of Lord Palmerston, although he knew that if Ministers were placed in a minority they must go out, as they could not dissolve again. Lord Bury had voted precisely as he (Sir Samuel Bignold) should have done if he had been in the house ; and, therefore, the Liberals of Norwich had no great, cause to chuckle over the loss of his seat. He con sidered the change of Government was very much for the general welfare, as the commercial interests of the country had frequently been trifled with by men formerly in power. With regard to the income-tax, which all felt to be a most odious and oppres'sive impost, he had little doubt that if the Whigs had remained in power it would have been 7d. in the pound at the present moment; but Lord Derby had held that the expectations which the people were led to indulge that the income tax should be reduced to sd. in the pound in 1858 should be carried out at all hazards, and he had little doubt that if Lord Derby continued in power it would be found that the tax would be far ther dropped to 3d. in the pound in 1859, and that in 1860 it would be extinguished altogether. (Cheers.) Th ey h a d h eard a great deal m the public journals about the intention of the Govern ment to bring out a Reform Bill, but, as far as he (Sir Samuel Bignold) could gather from the sentiments expressed by Lord Derby on the first evening on which he took his seat on the Treasury bench, he made no promise to that effect as the principle of his. Government. Lord Derby said that the session of 1858 was not a proper time for bringing in a Reform Bill, and as to the succeeding year he would give the subject his most mature and anxious consideration. He (Sir Samuel Bignold) was not aware that Ifbrd Derby stood pledged con sequently to bring in a Reform Bill in the present session. However, if the Government should de cide that the time had arrived for changes in the constitution, he should have more confidence in any change enunciated by the Earl of Derby than by Lord Palmerston, because he believed that the former would introduce no changes which would at all endanger the balance of power—King, Lords, and Commons, which had so gloriously maintained the interests of all classes and worked so well for the State. With regard to the condition of the Conservative. party in Norwich he believed that whoever they might put forward when the time of trial came would be returned, unless their oppo nents entered upon a lavish expenditure of money, an example which he should not counsel his friends to follow. As a private individual he should be most anxious on every Occasion to help the good cause. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Sir Henry Stracey, " and his speedy re-election for the county of Norfolk." (Loud cheers, and musical honours.) Sir H. STRACEY responded. Some years had elapsed since he had had the honour of dining with the Eldon Club, but he remembered that the club had pledged themselves to support him when he came forward at a future election. The members had since carried out their pledge like good Con servatives, and so .far as Norwich was concerned had returned him by a large majority. He entered upon the contest for E as t Norfolk that he might have an opportunity of :supporting the great Con servative party. of this country and Lord Derby in Parliament ; he was ambitious to serve the Conser vative party in the country. Having formerly been returned most handsomely without opposition on one occasion, he felt that he had a debt to pay to the county if an opportunity offered of present ing himself as a candidate for its representation. The opportunity did offer. As far as his own exer tions were concerned, he devoted all the mental and physical power of which he was master to secure his return ; and he- hoped to have succeeded, had not some unfortunate events, to which he would not further allude, intervened. Still, lie felt proud at having been supported by upwards of 2,700 of the Conservative electors of Norfolk. He professed no diplomacy, and he believed no man, of whatever party, would say that he had ever stated that which m h eendiddonl them to mean.tn stand For oi• fasttheby fu t t h n e re ir he friends, would anred not recom mend to calculate upon those who upon critical occasions had either shown lukewarmness, orhadbeenplaced in the balance and found wanting. He believed they might rely upon the Conservative party and upon its great head, Lord Derby, for what ever was promised to them. Lord Derby had held out a kind of promise as to a Reform Bill ; he had stated that he did not approve the practice of keeping the subject dangling before the eyes of the country. Those were the terms of Lord Derby, and they were enough to tell that his lordship had a Reform Bill in his mind, and that he intended to produce it. His (Sir H. Stracey's) firm belief was that a Reform Bill would be produced next session. He had.no special infoimation on the subject, and no further reason for saying so than his firm belief APPETITE AND INDIGESTION IMPROVED, LEA and PERRINS' WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE imparts the most exquisite relish to Steaks, Chops, and all Roast Meat, Gravies, Fish, Game, Soup, Cur ries, and Salad, and by its tonic and invigorating properties enables the stomach to perfectly digest the food.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about.. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bast, of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NEW AND IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN TIE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.

The relief is afforded in a variety , of ways, partly by gifts of money and the neces saries of life. The chief feature, however, in con nection with the association is that the persons requiring relief are taught to help themselves, and the families trained to industrial occupations. This is accomplished by the receipt of needlework from the army cottractors at Chatham and its distribution among the persons requiring aid, the committee giving an additional price be sides that paid by the contractors. By these means nearly 100 young persons are daily em ployed and trained to habits of industry, a com mittee of ladies superintending the issue and the receipt of the work. The committee have also a house at Brompton used as a hospital for sick women, and this is supported entirely by the society's funds.

WORCESTER HOP-MARKET, Saturday.—The im proved and correct taste, which has for the last few years induced the public to prefer a sparkling light ale to the heavy muddy mass which was formerly vended, has caused such an increasing demand for Worcester hops, the beautiful flavour and the deli cate bitter of which are so peculiarly suited for the first class of pale ale, that our growth is eagerly bought up immediately it comes to hand ; and at this day's market, the fourth since the crop came in, including the fair-day,, fine: and choice qualities have really become scarce and 3s. to 4s. dear er , whilst the demand appears to increase, and it is evident that the growth of our choice qualities re quires to be extended. RETFORD HOP FAIR.--North Clay hops were offered at from 70s. to 84s. per cwt., yearlings £5 per cwt. Mid and East Kent were offered at from 60s. to 112 s. per cwt. Weald of Kent, of which only a few were exhibited by sample, were offered at from 60s. to 755. per cwt. _ MAIDSTONE, Oct. 7.—The hop picking is now brought to a close, after a season of unprecedented fine weather, the hoppers not losing an hour's time. There have been within the last few days several country sales, at good paying prices. The golding sorts are in great demand, and, no doubt, will realise an ample compensation to the planters. The duty has still a downward tendency ; and £250,000 meets with a few backers, at evens. EDENBRIDGE, Oct. 6.—This week will bring the hop-picking to a close, and we shall have a good crop. The hops have kept their colour, and come down exceedingly well. The growth generally is over the estimate of good quality, and will be about 12 cwt. per acre. rRANT, Oct. 6.—The hop-picking is now brought to a close ; and the samples, both for colour and quality, are above the average of years. Great care has been taken in the picking and curing ; and the weather has been suitable in every respect. The average growth will be about 13 cwt. per acre. and prices unremunerative. GOMM:MST, Oct. 7.—Picking is, we believe, now completed ; and, speaking generally, the hops have maintained their colour well. About 12 or 13 cwt. the acre is at present thought to be the average here. Can speak more confidently next week. Duty, £240,000. NORTHAM, Oct. 7.—We are now enabled to give the correct average of our growth of hops ,which is 151 cwt. per acre, of 1,200 hill s . Judging from what we saw of the hops before picking commenced, we should say but few parishes will yield so high an average as this. Many of our later samples were brown and diseased ; consequently, better prices :will be obtained for bright, sound samples, which will be comparatively scarce. No doubt the dealers and consumers will do their best to get the best samples at the present low prices ; let the growers be awake to this. Duty, £240,000. UDIMORE, Oct. 7.—We have now brought the hop-picking to a close. In some plantations the yield will be over a ton to the acre, and in some grounds much less. Taking the whole parish, it is probable that about 18 cwt. to the acre will be about the average. HALSTEAD, Oct. 7.—Picking concluded on the 30th ult. The growth of this parish and vicinity is about half-a-ton per acre ; the quality very good. —Sussex Express.
