Bankers—London and Westminster Bank, Lothbury, London.

This Company has been formed for the general introduction
of Bishop's "PATENT BOOM DERRICKS" into Europe,
after the most satisfactory testing of their efficiency and
utility in America.
These Derricks may be employed either as stationary or
moveable weight-raising apparatus, and are eminently adapted
by their great power to raising sunken and recovering stranded
vessels ; also to accomplishing expeditiously and economically
every description of hoist, whether on land or water, required
in Government Arsenals or Navy Yards ; or by Dock Com-
panies, Shipbuilders, Engineers, Contractors, and others.
A small Floating
,Derrick, fitted with' hoisting machinery,
capable of raising 100 tons, has been built for the require-
ments of the Thames, and is now in operation, lifting and
transporting heavy weights, such as steam-engines, boilers,
blocks of stone, &c.
A large Floating Derrick with-a hoisting capacity or 1,000
tons, specially designed and constructed for raising sunken
vessels, and for, general salvage purposes, has been launched
recently, and is now preparing for operation about the Coasts
of Great Britain and off Foreign Shores.
The average number of wrecks upon our coasts alone, ex-
ceeds one thousand annually, comprising upwards of 150,000
tons of shipping and steamers. The estimated value of this
loss, taken at £l5 per ton for vessels and cargoes combined,
amounts to 24 millions sterling.
A large proportion of these vessels might be recovered by
the aid of the Patent Floating Derricks, at a guaranteed rate
of salvage, ranging between 25 and 75 per cent. 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 car-
goes, sunk prior to the date of the agreement, which may be
raised and recovered by means of their Patent Floating Der-
ricks.

Ist West India Regment--Ensign, Richard Seymour

In the United States these Patent Derricks have been ex-
tensively adopted to the entire satisfaction of the parties own-
ing them. Two have been erected for the American Govern-
ment, at the Brooklyn and Massachusetts navy yards, and
one for the Spanish Government at Havana. Two others
belonging to the New York Derrick Company, have raised
and saved upwards of 400 sunken and stranded vessels, and
have likewise 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 and quarterly
dividends of the like amount.
