The object of this Company is to work, in t' e 'United King-
dom, the patent., granted to Mr A. D, van/Lin 856, for im-
Proven', nts in the construction and fitting- of g•ana•les, the
exclusive right to which hay teen pr visionally Required by
the Company, and to grant licenses f r the same.
Ihe pi incipal advantage. f the patents are as follow :-
Ist. Economy in the first outlay, the patent vent lati
granary costing less than an ordinary granary of the same
ca ab
2d. The r atent tentilating granary will hold at least 50
Per cent. more rain than any ordinary granary occupying a
similar area o; ground, th, grain being stored 4.0 f• et deep in
re, ated silos or bins, as in the model granary, built on this
system in the West India Doc: a.
3d. Considerable economy on the cost of the manual labour
at present incurred in housing and delivering grain—such
Manual labour formin one of the principal items of expense
in working ordinary granaries is in the patent ventilating
granary superseded by machinery.
4th. In the patent ventilating granary
.the grain is kept
cool and in first-rate condition, at a nominal cost, the very
expensive process of turning being saved.
sth. By the process of venti.ation grain is freed from
'weevils.
6th. In the 'patent ventilating granary the grain is pro-
tected from rats, mice, and all vermin.
7th. The mrated silos or bins, containing the grain, being
built entirely of iron, the expense of insurance is greatly
diminished, or totally saved.
Ath. Great rapidity in housing, and delivering grain, at all
times a convenience to the trade, and frequently of much
importance.
It must be obvious that, with the many advantag's offered
by ti,is patent ventilating granary, so true in its principle,
and simple in its working, this undertaking cannot fail to
prove, not only a perfectly safe, but a very profitable invest-
ment. In fact, the excellence •nd advantages of his new
mode of warehousing grain have been roe sevral years tho-
roughly tested by the Patentee, who also has erected at the
West India Docks (by the permission of the Director.) a model
granary constructed on this system, the working of which
has given entire satisfaction, as proved by the written testi-
monials of eminent corn-factors, who have stored wheat
therein ; and any one inspecting the said granarycan at once
satisfy himself of its superiority over ordinary granaries.
The South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway
Company, after a careful investigation of the merits of the
above model granary at the West India Docks, have con-
tracted with the Patentee for the right to build in Austria,
on his system, granaries, to the extent of 700,100 quarters ;
the first of these granaries to hold 100,000 quarters is now
constructing at the railway station at Trieste.
It is evident that if such a safe mode of keeping grain in
good condition were to be generally adopted it would prove a
great boon to the community, and be in a commercial point
of view of paramount importance, as a large field would thus
be opened for investing in grain at low prices.
Years of plenty are generally followed by years of scarcity.
In seasons of abundance wheat is often used for other pur-
Poses than human food, and sold at a great sacrifice to obviate
the risk of warehousing in ordinary granaries, where an
enormous quantity of grain is annually spoiled and destroyed
by vermin and insects. Wheat wrries in price, from 40s. to
110 s. per quarter. Nothing would tend so much to attain
that great desideratum, equa'isation of prices, as a safe mode
of i. eeping grain, and that may be obtained by means of this
Patent ventilating granary, which, whilst it on the one hand
saves the labouring classes from famine prices, would on the
other protect the farmer from ruinously low ones.
When it is co sidered that the importation of grain into
Great Britain and Ireland last year amounted to 16,491,813
quarters, it cannot be doubted that this patent ventilating
granary is c pable of great development, and possessing as it
does so many advantages over ordinary granaries must in
time supersede them.
The present capital of £lOO,OOO will be amply sufficient to
build and work a patent granary on this system, capable of
containing 150,000 quarters. Reckoning that 350,000 quarters
will enter and leave the granary in one year, and even cal-
culating that on an average one-third of the granary will be
always empty, the net profits are estimated at least 18 per
cent, per annum, taking as a basis the present charges in
London.
The net profits are to be divided as follows :
The Shareholders are first to receive out of the same 6 per
cent. per annum (as interest) on the amount of share capital
paid lap, after which the sum remaining is to be apportioned
as under :
Seven-tenths to the Shareholders.

Three-tenths to the Patentee.
The Patentee will be entitled to subscribe at par three-
tenths of any further capital which may, be raised by the
Comr any, no other advantage whatever being reserved to
the Patentee, who has borne all preliminary expenses to thin
dßte.
Provision is made for co atinuing the business of the Com-
pany, after the termination of the patents.
No application for shares will be received unless accom-
panied with the banker's receipt for the deposit of £1 per
share.
In the event of the Directors allotting less than the num—
ber of shares applied for, the amount paid into the bankers
will be appropriated to the further payment of Z 4 per share
payable on allotment, and in case no allotment be made the
money deposited will be returned without deduction.
Applications for shares to be made to Messrs. C. Devaux
and Co., No. 62, King William-street, city; and Messrs.
Hutchinson and Son. Angel-court, Throgmorton-street,

(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be 4T-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tc, last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

N EFFECTUAL REMEDY.-LAMBERT'S
ASTHMATIC BALSAM, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con-
sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurable, admirablyallays the tickling which pro-
vokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption its
effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even
lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief in
a few minutes after taking it. Prepared only and sold by
W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8, King William-street, Charing—
cross, London, and by all druggists, in bottles, Ind., and

NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCHLEY HUNT
RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

A continuance of the brilliant summer-like weather that
ushered in this fashionable gathering added increased
numbers to the stand and enclosure, the latter being over-
crowded to such ax excess that locomotion was entirely out
of the question. The reception-rooms set apart for the
ladies also exhibited a marked improvement upon the
opening day. The card presented no lees than eight items,
which in most instances were represented by largo fields.
The following is a return of the day's racing, which
commenced with the

bringing up the rear. On rounding the lower tnrn the
two leaders drew away and rounded the bend some lengths
in advance of the others, but on their fairly entering the
straight Dunkold headed Golden Dust and came on with a
clear lead. King of Utvia, at the same time running
through his horses, took 3d j:lace at the distance, but never
had a chance to reach the front, Dunkeld winning with
lots to spare by three lengths, four lengths between the se-

Sister to Queen of the Vale, 14 to 1 each agst Comme ca
and King George, and 20 to 1 agst Practitioner.
In consequence of the restiveness of the favourite and
Sister to Queen of the Vale the start was delayed some time,
but when the flag was lowered they were despatched to a
very equitable and satisfactory start. On settling into
their places, Gossamer filly took up the running, followed
in a body by Molly Carew, Midnight Mass, Echo, Sister
to Queen of the Vale, and Overcast, the others following,
widely spread across the course. On reaching the top of
the hill the Gossamer filly was headed by Molly Carew,
Midnight Mass, and the Baron's filly, who came on
nearly abreast; the favourite, however, in a few strides
got her head in advance, and came on with the lead
to the enclosure, where she drew away, and won in a
canter by a length and a half. Midnight Mass defeated
Sister to Queen of the Vale by two lengths for second, the
Gossamer filly was fourth, close up, Echo fifth, Garotter
sixth, Overcast seventh ; then came Cosette, the Sabra colt,
and Practitioner side by side, and at an interval of several
lengths followed Procella, Vanquisher, and Vacuna; Cora-
me-ca bringing up the rear.

A most tedious and vexatious delays attended the start
we have witnessed for a long period. Notwithstanding the
personal superintendence of Lord Spencer, who went to the
assistance of Mr. Marshall, upwards of one hour and three •
quarters was consumed in repeated attempts to get them
away. At last Lord Spencer, completely tired out, sent a
messenger for the assistance of Admiral Roils, who im-
mediately went down, and the welcome announcement of
the fall of the flag was soon proclaimed with loud shouts,
and, shortly after, the body of horses were seen streaming
up the hill, Gazelle next the rails, having a slight lead,
followed by Zora, Biondella, Lady Abbess, and Glenorchy ;
the others, widely spread, were headed by Miss Living-
stone and Little Lady. On their fairly entering the
straight, Lady Abbess joined Gazelle, the pair running
together to the distance, when the latter was headed by the
favourite and Glenorchy, who in a few strides further
reached the girths of Lady Abbess, the four finishing a fine
race home, Lady Abbess holding her own to the end, and
winning cleverly by a neck. There was three lengths be-
tween the second and third ; Gazelle was fourth, Little Lady
fifth, Rest sixth ; then came Turcos and Miss Livingston
together next. The last lot, which were pulling up as they
passed the pest, comprised Zora, Biondella, Black Lily,
East Sheen, Argonaut, and Queen of Trumps, the latter two
of whom were left at the post.

The Perfect Cure cut out the work to the last turn, when
he was pulled back and the lead left with Disappointment,
waited upon by the favourite to the half distance, where
the latter came away and won in a canter by three lengths.
The Perfect Cure walked in, and Disappointment, who
stumbled near home, was pulled up lame.

1 agst Gazelle.
The favourite, lying next the rails, was the first away, and
with Vigil came on with the running at a good pace, fol-
lowed by Blanche of Lancaster, Gazelle, and Independence
to the distance, when the two leaders drew away, and
finished the race home together, Juliet winning at last by
three parts of a length ; three lengths separating the second
and third. Gazelle was fourth, Independence fifth, and
Corsica sixth. Tarragona and Wave were the last two,
beaten off a long way. _

Thefavourite, with Cowley, Prince Plausible, and Watch-
man were the first to show in advance, having the others
lying in a body some two or three lengths in their rear.
On reaching the distance Cowley was beaten and Man-at-
Arms drew away, but at the Stand enclosure Fordham
brought up Prince Plausible with a rush, and for a f.tride
or two mado a race of it, but, dying away a fow strides from
home, ho was 1 eaten cleverly by three parts of a length.
Watchman finished a bad third, Agag was fourth, Cowley,
fifth, and Hypercanestra next ; the last be ing Tel errima.

THE NAVY.

The Hector, iron frigate, in No, 10 dock at Ports-
mcnth, has been accepted by the Admiralty from the
hands of the contractors, Messrs. Napier and Sons,
of Glasgow, in her present state. The fitting ()flier
auxiliary 40 horse power engine has tobe completed;
her ventilating gear has to be set up; her bilge
plates, or pieces, bolted on to the fiingcs on her bot-
tom, and other work made good which was not in-
cluded in the original contract between the builders
and the Admiralty. Six weeks is the time estimated
by the dockyard authorities for completing tbis
work.

We are informed that the Admiralty have made
the necessary arrangements with Capt. C. P. Coles,
R.N., for the construction of a seagoing shield ship,
according to his plans, the aid of a professional
draughtsman being accorded to Captain Coles by the
Admiralty to assist him in carrying out his ideas.
The central gun battery, shield, or turret principle
has hitherto lain under a cloud to a certain degree,
owing to the impression which has been widely dis-
seminated that such a vessel could, under no circum-
stances, be equal to a broadside gun ship as a seagoing
vessel for long cruises—say to the Pacific or China.
Captain Coles has, however, always asserted the con-
trary, and has maintained that iron ships constructed
and armed on his plan were not only better fighting
ships than any broadside gun ships, whether of wood
or iron, but that they would also be better sea boats
under all circumstances of wind and weather. This
same belief is entertained by a large number of naval
officers and others competent to judge the question,
and we are therefore glad to find the Admiralty
have given Capt. Coles the opportunity to prove the
utmost value of the principle he has so long and so
perseveringly advocated. The whole of the screw
gunboats attached to three divisions of the Chatham
steam reserve in the Medway are to undergo a care-
ful inspection at the hands of the dockyard officials,
who are to make a confidential report to the Admi-
ralty of the condition of each, together with any
recommendations as to the propriety of selling any
of the number by private contract, instead of retain-
ing them in the service. Nearly the whole of the
fleet of gunboats now at Chatham were built for
the Admiralty at private dockyards during the
Russian war, since which period only a few have
been employed on active service. Considering that
nearly the whole not attached to the foreign sta-
tions could be made available for harbour service,
and employed as despatch boats, or even steamtugs,
for which their rate of speed eminently adapts them,
it would appear to be questionable policy on the
part of the Admiralty to dispose of any of the num-
ber which could be made available. As the Board
of Admiralty appear to be seized, just now, with a
sudden anxiety to get rid of all our old and super-
fluous steamers and other vessels, it would be as
well if they directed their attention to the large
fleet of iron mortar vessels laid up on the shore at
Chatham Dockyard where most if not all of them
have been lying ever since the Russian war, when
they were constructed.
The Prometheus, 6, 200-horse power paddle-
wheel steamer, lying in Chatham Harbour, toge-
ther with her engines, boilers,and most of her gear,
has been sold out of the service to Messrs. Castle
and Son, for the sum of £1,525. The Prometheus
was one of Captain Symonds's class of paddle-wheel
steamers, and was constructed at Chatham Dock-
yard. She has seen a great deal of service,and was
employed principally on the West Coast of Africa.
The Prometheus is in good condition; the only rea-
son for selling her is that paddle-wheel steam-
sloops have now become obsolete in the British
navy.

We learn, as indeed might have been expected
from what has lately been made public on the sub-
ject, that the condition of ships' armour, the bolts
by which it is hung to the ship's side, and other
similar points in connection with the construction
of our iron and iron-cased ships of war, are now re-
ceiving the serious consideration of the Admiralty
and Rear-Admiral Robinson, the Controller of the
Navy. An attempt has been made in Portsmouth
dockyard to coat the armour-plates and their bolts
with zinc by a French patented alkaline process—
that is, to electrotype them with sine. The attempt,
however, failed. A proposition, has, however, now
been laid before the Admiralty by a Mr. lbalenn, a
London chemist, to coat iron of any size, from a
ship's bottom itself as one whole to a single bolt for
the armour-plate, extent of material or shape being
no objection, with a deposit of metal, such as brass
or any other alloy, as thin or as thick in substance
as may be wished, with a bright, hard enamelled
surface. It will be at once seen that this would sup-
ply what is chiefly wanted—the means of prevent-
ing the oxidation of ships' armour and bolts and the
fouling of iron ships' bottoms. Mr. Walenn has
been directed to proceed to Portsmouth dockyard to
inspect the existing arrangements of baths and bat-
teries now adopted there, and to send in to the Ad-
miralty a special report, with accompanying esti-
mates of his proposed plan of electrotyping.
A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on
board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth.
Mr. F. T. Elliott, engineer of the Fawn, 17, screw
sloop, was charged with having negligently per-
formed his duty by allowing the water to get low
in the starboard boiler of the ship, and causing seri-
ous injury to the same. The charges were found
proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to lose only
one year's time and to be severely reprimanded, the
points in the prisoner's favour being his general
good conduct and the length of time since the occur-
rence took place (December, 1861).
It was stated in Portsmouth yesterday on good
authority, that Rear-Admiral R. Smart, K.H., now
commanding the Channel Fleet, will proceed to the
Mediterranean and hoist his flag as Commander-in-
Chief on board the Marlborough, Capt. C. Fellowes,
present flag captain, accompanying Admiral Smart
to his new command. It is further said that Rear-
Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8,, the present second in
command in the Mediterranean fleet, returns to
England in the Edgar, and assumes the command
of the Channel fleet, Rear-Admiral Hon. C. Yelver-
ton hoisting his flag on board the Revenge, and
going out to the Mediterranean in that ship as se-
cond in command, vice Dacres, to the Channel fleet.
The following promotions were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Commanders to be Captains—
C. W. Bonham, Hon. A. C. Hobart, J. H. Cave, S.
