In accordance with the terms of a numerously signed requisition presented to tte High Sheriff of the county of Lancashire (Benjamin Heywood Jones, Esq.), asking him to call the inhabitants of the county of Lancashire together, to consider the propriety of promoting a memorial to the late Earl of Derby, a largely attended meeting was held in the Town Hall, Newton Bridge, on Wed nesday morning. The High Sheriff took the chair, and amongst those present were—Mr. R. A. Cross, Colonel Grey, M.P., Mr. Hugh Birley, M.P., Mr. J. Hick, M.P., Mr. S. IL Graves, M.P., the Hon.

Norris. - The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said it was not for him to review the brilliant career of the late Lord Derby ; but he might be permitted to remind them that he specially endeared himself to the people of that county by his earnest devo tion to the allevation of their sufferings during the period of their deep distress. (Hear, hear.) Lord Derby distributed the funds at his disposal without regard to party or creed, and they would best do honour to his memory by laying aside old differ ences, and uniting to carry out the object of that meeting. (Applause.) Letters of apology were read from the Earl of Sefton, the Earl of Wilton, Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., Sir T. F. llcsketh, Bart., M.P., Mr. Maden Ilolt, M.P., and others. Sir R. T. GERRARD moved " This meeting desires to record its profound regret at the recent death of Edward Geoffrey, fourteenth Earl of Derby, whose high character and great ability have earned the respect of all classes of the community, and whilst the nation mourns the loss of a high-minded and patriotic nobleman, who has thrice filled the office of First Minister of the Crown, this meeting desires to commemorate the virtues and the worth of one whose life was devoted to the iutertsts of his native county." Mr. W. It. WOOD said it .was owing to the ab sence of the Lard Lieutenant that it fell to him, as a representative of the Liberal party, to second the resolution. If there was ono thing more than another in their proceedings of that day it was that it could not be said to be a party movement ; if it were he would take no part in it. He was sure that men of all parties in Lancashire ought to com bine in honouring one who was an honour to his county—(applause)—and who ever devoted him self not only to his native county but to the best interests of his country. (Cheers.) It was a proud and very happy thing for England that for the last 180 years it has been governed mail ly by men who held in her high rank, large possessions, and great abilities—men who had devoted their time to the service of their country, honestly discharging their duty according to the opinions they conscientiously held. We had had in England a large successio❑ of such men, and such a man pre-eminently was the late Earl of Derby. (Cheers.) lie said this although he did not agree with the political opinions of the late earl; but looking at the position he held, and the way in which he discharged his duties, he (Mr. Wood) could not help recalling to memory some words uttered by the earl some years ago, when still sitting in the House of Commons, which gave an index to the course he pursued. Lord Derby, then Lord Stanley, asked the question in the House of Commons, " What interest can I possibly have in taking office ? To me the emolu ments of office are worthless ; its patronage is mat ter for contempt, and I can have no motive for taking office but to discharge my duty to my country." That was the principle upon which Lord Derby acted, and from those who differed most from Lord Derby's political opinions and political acts he never heard any one whose opinion was worth having doubt that Lord Derby acted from the highest and purest motives. (Cheers.) But there was one ground on which Lord Derby had a still higher claim upon the gratitude of that district. From all he had heard from those who were intimate with him he did not think that public life was exactly a matter of love to Lord Derby ; he believed it was far more a matter of duty; he believed that, with his high intellectual powers, standing as a scholar foremost, or nearly foremost; in the great assembly to which be belonged, stand ing nearly if not in the first place of English ora tors, he still believed that public life was a burden to bim ; but he believed there was one public duty which had not been a burden—that Lord Derby gave his heart most cordially to the discharge of his great duty in Lancashire during the distress caused by the cotton famine. To Lancashire Lord Derby rendered at that period services, of which he fear lessly said that they might be overlooked because the results which would have happened did not happen, but which if those services had not been given would have happened—services which should not be the less appreciated because not always per ceived in that great trouble. Although there were then combined the services of several able men, they had the great experience in matters of relief of Sir James K. Shuttleworth, the sound calm judg ment of Colonel Wilson-Patten, and the great ad ministrative ability of Mr. Maclure, but all these would not have carried them through so successfully as they came through the trial bad not the relief committee been presided over by the great ability, ' the sound judgment, and the commanding talent of Lord Lord Derby. (Cheers.) That work from all he had heard was to Lord Derby a labour of love. (Applause.) In conclusion, he was axious to say that he appeared there on personal, and not on poli tical grounds, for it had been his lot to oppose Lord Derby on nearly every political question, but that did not prevent him fron recording his strong and entire conviction that Lord Derby was a man of whom Lancashire had the highest reason to be proud. (Cheers.) The llon. ALGERNON EGERTON, M.P., said he had great gratification in saying a few words in support of the resolution. his own connection with Lord Derby was both personal and political; he had the honour of being a personal friend, and had seen a great deal of him in private life, and in political life be had been a humble follower of Lord Derby's policy. It was not for bum to allude to Lord Derby's policy, but this he might say, without fear of contradiction, that both Lord Derby's political friends and opponents gave him credit for a sincere spirit of patriotism. (Cheers.) He did not think that anything that could be said on that!platform could pos sibly enhance the reputation of Lord Derby. There is hardly a man in Lancashire who had not at some time or other taken the opportunity of expressing his feeling as to the public and private character of the late earl. lle trusted that when this movement for erecting a memorial to Lord Derby's memory became better known subscriptions would come in in a continual stream. lie suggested that the me morial ought to take the shape of some useful in , stitution—such as a convalescent hospital in con- The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. T. D. Hunsßr, of Liverpool, moved the second resolution appointing a committee. He said he had no hesitation in taking part in that meeting, for it was always an honourable characteristic in political life that differences on political opinions did not prevent them recognising ability and high character in a political opponent. (Cheers). Lord Derby was a Lancashire man, of whom they ought to be proud. They owed to his career the proud boast that they had produced a nobleman who took the highest rank as an orator in the House of Lords and the House of Commons --a nobleman who had fulfilled the duties of his station in the most ad mirable manner, who hart joined distinctions in very different lines, distinctions in field sports and distinction in the paths of literature, and who towards the close of his life had given his interest for the welfare of Lancashire by showing his readi ness to take a working part in the great crisis which had affected that county. (Loud cheers.) Mr. H UGH BIRLEY, M.P., in su ?porting the resolu tion said he could not resist that opportunity of ex pressing his sincere hope that nothing of a political character would be given to that movement. (Ap plause). Although he had been a humble•follower o Lord Derby, it was not as a politician that he came forward on that occasion. He looked upon Lord Derby as a Lancashire man, and as one who possessed some of the best and highest characteristics of the county. His extraordinary vigour and his masculine virtues had inspired him (Mr. Birley) with thf greatest respect, and when he considered that Lord Derby had had to resist the seductions of rank and high wealth, and that he had often suffered severe illness, whilst - he h'Eff ffeiiecrforviaid undauntedly, having no personal or paltry motive, they must feel that his conduct had been dictated by nothing but a high sense of patriotism. (Cheers.) He was a man whom the men of this county ought to be will ing to accord the highest meed of praise, and to commemorate his virtues and character as a memo rial for succeeding generations. (Loud Cheers.) He strongly supported the suggestion made by Mr. Egerton, that the memorial should take the form of a convalescent hospital. Mr. R. A. CROSS, M.P., said they were naturally one in their opinions at that meeting. He looked upon the persons in that room as merely represen tatives of those out of doors, and he believed that when the report of that meeting had gone forth throughout the county there would be no difference of opinion from one end to the other as to the course they were about to take that day. They might depend upon it that no exertions would be wanting on the part of the committee to make the memorial worthy of the memory of the deceased nobleman. Ile hoped that the committee, when formed, would at once strike whilst the iron was hot, and he was sure they would find parties willing to testify by their acts and deeds their appreciation of a nobleman whom he was sure they would like to hold up to their children for life as an example of firmness of will, honesty of purpose, and utter, high minded, and entire unselfishness. (Applause.) A vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding brought the proceedicgs to a termination. NARRATIVE OF A siIIPIVRECK.: The following particulars from Mr. Joseph Mackenzie, the carpenter and sole survivor of the wreck of the barque Mary Spark-, Dundee, will be read with interest:—The whole of the crew of the Mary Sparks, on her arrival at Jamaica, were dis charged, with the exception of George Chapman, belonging to Loudon ; and on the vessel's arrival at Falmouth one man disappeared, and another engaged in his stead. After taking a pilot, named Joseph Cooper, on board, the Mary Sparks left Falmouth on the 15th for Hamburgh. There woo a fair wind, though the weather was heavy, and all went well till Saturday night, when, about twenty minutes before eight, the vessel struck on the reef off Terschelling, on the Dutch coast, and about five miles from land. The night was dark ; and it is supposed that the set of the tides had carried the vessel on the reef, as the proper courses were being steered. As soon as it was found that the vesse 1 was on the reef the yards were hacked, and all efforts made to get her off, but these failed ; and to add to the danger, the wind increased and the sea began to break over the unfortunate ship. The crew then made signals to the shore, but Mr. Mackenzie was afterwards told that they were never seen. About nine o'clock the weather cleared away, and the Terschelling light was seen. The vessel lay still, the sea making clean breaches over her till twelve o'clock, when the crew began to . consider what was to be done for their own safety. It was intended to lower the long boat—it and al the others being ready for launching —and to con struct a raft to be pushed before the boat, so as to lessen the force of the sea, but a sea carried the long boat off, and as it was impossible for a raft to live in such weather the crew determined to wait • on and see what would turn up. About three o'clock, or as near that time as they could judge— having nothing to tell the exact time—all hands took to the mizen rigging, the vessel by this time gradually turning on her beam ends. They bad not been long there when it was thought that the mast would not bear the strain, and a cry was raised for some of them to endeavour to get to the mainrig ging. Three got there ; and Mr. Mackenzie, who was at the time on the mizen crosstrees, slid down the mizen stay, and by a great effort got to the maintop ; made himself fast beside the other three ; the pilot, a Frenchman, and the man belonging to Falmouth. About an hour after the pilot suggested that they should go up higher, and accordingly they all made their way to the topmast-head. Searcely had they got there when the mast gave way at the cap, and the four men were precipitated into the sea. Cooper, the pilot, was then drowned —but Mr. Mackenzie laid hold of some of the run ning gear, and succeeded in hauling himself to the maintop, where he found the Frenchman. Just after he had made himself fast, the third man made his appearance, and asked for a rope. Mr. Mackenzie threw him one, and then hauled him up to the maintop, and made him fast. This had scarcely been done when a tremendous sea came and swept away the Frenchman and the man be longing to Falmouth, leaving Mr. Mackenzie alone in the maintop. At this time it was, as near as he could judge in the circumstances, about five in the morning. During all this time the remaining 12 men had been clinging to the mina rigging ; the sea, which constantly washed over them, had swept away one by one—those being lowest on the rig ging of course being carried off first. The captain, Mr. Neilson, was in the mizen rigging, and Mr. Mackenzie thinks that five or six men had been lost before the captain was swept away. About 7 o'clock the mizeutopmast broke at the cap, and all the men on it were then drowned except two, who managed to get back to the mizenmast. One of the two hung out for about half an hour, when he was carried off. The other, determined to fight hard for dear life, shifted from spar to spar till about 10, when he also was drowned. Thus Mr. Mackenzie was left alone on the wreck out of a crew of 16 ; and his feelings at this time may be imagined, but not described. Every moment in danger of meeting the same fate as his shipmates, be still clung to the maintop, to which he. had lashed himself. Ile hung on till half-past eleven o'clock, when a pilot boat came and took him off . the wreck—having been about eight hours and a half in the rigging. By this time the vessel was breaking up, and half of the cargo had been washed out. Both in the pilot boat and when taken ashore Mr. Mackenzie was treated in the kindest manner possible by the inhabitants, and to them be feels much indebted. In leaving for home he went by the post boat from Terschelling to Harlingen, on the mainland, whence he took the steamer to Lon don, and then by train to Dundee and Ao:eltrs n; Montrose. Mr. Mackenzie is now all right ag ain, an(il feels worse for his exposure; but of course all his clothes and tools. Lieutenant-Colonel A.
