This Company's Derricks are eminently adapted, by their
great power, to raising sunken and recovering stranded
vessels,
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 amounts to
millions sterling.
A large proportion of the vessels may be recovered by the
Patent Floating Derricks, at a guaranteed rate of salvage,
ranging between 25 and 75 per cent. An agreement has been
entered into with the Marine Insurance Companies, and
Underwriters of London and Liverpool, which secures to this
Company 75 per cent. of the net salvage proceeds (after de-
ducting working expenses) from all vessels and cargoes, sunk
prior to the date of the agreement, that may be recovered by
means of the Patent Floating Derricks.
In the United States two of these machines, belonging to
the New York Derrick Company, have raised and saved
over 400 vessels. This Company commenced by paying its
shareholders half-yearly dividends of 10 per cent ; but, since
July, 1857, has regularly paid quarterly dividends of the like
amount.
The Directors of the Patent Derrick Company and their
friends have taken and paid up in full, shares to the extent
of £40,000, in order to construct, and submit to the Public,
one river and one sea-going Derrick, prior to soliciting co-
operation towards the Company
important and promising en-
terprise for which the Company has been established.
The Directors are now issuing to the Public further Shares
of £5O each in the Capital Stock of the Company to the ex-
tent of ;X20,000. These shares are required to be paid as
follows :
£lO per Share on Application, and the remainder by
Calls of £lO each, at intervals of one Month between
each Call.
Forms of Application for Shares, and Prospectuses, may
be obtained at the Offices of the Patent Derrick-Company.

CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION IN

ESSEX.

- SUDBURY,. SATURDAY.
The Hinckford Conservative and Agricultural
Club, one of the most important political societies
in the eastern counties, celebrated its anniversary
last evening at Castle Iledinghfun, near this town.
The proceedings are not merely devoted to after-
dinner" speeches, as deserving labourers are not for-
gotten by the society, which offers rewards of the
character usually in vogue in the agricultural dis-
tricts.

The dinner of the members in the evening was
very numerously attended. The chair was ably occu-
pied-by Mr. T. Miller, M.P. for Colchester, who was
supported hy the Right Hon. W. Beresford, M.P.;
Mr. C. Da Cne, M:P. ;. Sir W. 8.-Smijth, late M.P.
for South Essex ; Mr. O: S. Onleyi Sir C. de Ores-
pigny, Mr. A. Majendie, theltiv. J. Cox, and other
gentlemen of influence in the neighboarhood,
After the usual loyal toasts
Mr. 0. -S. OnEY, proposed the "Bishop and

ELOPEMENT OF A LADY.

Within -the last few days a great sensation has
been created in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in
consequence of the reported elopement of a young
lady, the daughter of a gentleman of great affluence,
and a deputy-lieutenant of the county. From the
information which has been furnished to our cor-
respondent, it appears that the young lady, who is
23 or 24 years of age, and said to be the daughter of
a banker, and to be worth, in her own right,
the sum of £lO,OOO, fixed her affections
upon a man in a much inferior position
in life, and a few years her senior. She, according
to rumour, had been disappointed of her " first
love, a person of equal position in society with her-
self, through the interposition of her considerate
parents, who, as is very often the case, determined
that she should spend the remainder of her days
" for better, for worse," with the man of their choice
—a widower with a small family. Two or three
years ago her father hired a groom, who, -in addi-
tion.to the duty of taking care of the horses, had also
to attend to the young lady in her equestrian excur-
sions in the neighbouring district. At length en
attachment sprang up between the young lady and
the groom, which so far progressed that a secret
_
marriage was resolved upon ; but apparently 0.0 dim
was the flame which Cupid had lighted up in the
breasts of the respective parties, that it seems no
suspicion was entertained of their intention
and on.s. Wed-
nesday last was fixed upon for the fight,

miles from Beverley, and she at once proceeded.
thither. Leaving her faithful Rosinante in the
careas, o
mine host," she, aided by her lover, who
was, of course, the principal actor in this matrimo-
nial f "
nial plot, procured a post-chaise, in which the in-
tended bride and bridegroom proceeded to York, a dis-

be tied early the following morning in or near
the metropolis. In the meantime the prolonged
absence or Miss and the groom created con-
siderable uneasiness at home • and such information.
having been furnished to the disconsolate parents
as rendered it clear what had happened, an imme-
diate pursuit was resolved upon, and we understand
the mother and brother of the 'young lady arrived
at York about four o'clock on the following monk%
ing. At that time, though unknown to them, the
" birds had flown," and, consequently, the diligent
search that was made, and in which the police took
part, was completely fruitless.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which about an average
business was transacted, on former terms. There was a
slight improvement in the demand for barley, oats, beans
and peas, at full quotations. _ _

Throughout the Continent nearly all kinds of produce
have been much less active, yet very few changes have
taken place in prices. In the United States wheat and
flour continue to move off slowly.
Moderate supplies of hone-grown produce were received
up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports
were limited, viz., 4,060 qrs. of wheat, 9,100 barley, 5,660
oats, 930 rye, 3,331 beans, 215 peas, 15,562 linseed, 14,005
rapeseed, 35 mustardseed, 255 sundry seeds, 683 sacks and
1,490 barrels of flour.

Both from Essex and Kent the arrivals of wheat fresh
up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were very mode-
rate, and the show of samples of both red and white was
small. Factors generally were very firm in their demands,
and in some instances prices were a shade higher than on
Monday last. The general quality of the samples were
tolerably good.
Since out last the imports of foreign wheat have been
very moderate. To-day we had a full average show of
granaried samples, in which about an average business was
transacted at full prices.
Floating cargoes of grain realised fully late currencies.
Both English and foreign barley was in fair request, at
last week's prices. Malt, however, sold slowly, on former
, terms.

Oats, the supply of which was much less extensive than
of late, moved off steadily, at full prices.
Beans were firm, but not dearer.
We had a fair demand for peas, at fully late rates.
The flour trade was tolerably firm, at last week's cur-
rency.

Canary seed was fully 6d per quarter cheaper, with a
heavy demand.

THE EAST.

We have received the Constantinople journals
and letters to the 6th, brought by the Gange. As
far as regards political news, their contents are
barren of interest. The Ottoman Government is
proceeding with its financial reforms, and, as
already mentioned by telegraph, is cutting down a
number of unnecessary posts, and reducing the
salaries attached to others, beginning with those
of 7,000 piastres a month, and going upwards. The
Ministers and the Governors-General of Provinces,
many of whom add to their income by also having
the rank of marshal and commander-in-chief of some
corps d'armee, will also come under the operation,
by which a considerable saving will be effected.
The Supreme Council of Justice, which has hitherto
been composed of 39 members, had been reduced to
14. The Council of Public Utility is to be sup-
pressed, and its duties performed by the Municipal
Council, which acts gratuitously. The Departments
of War and Marine will also be subjected to similar
measures of economy. Many of the functionaries
who have thus been removed from office will be
sent into the provinces, in many parts of which the
want of intelligent men is severely felt. The
wealthy citizens of the capital are now engaged in
removing from their country houses on the shores
of the Bosphorus, and returning for the winter.
A letter from Belgrade of the 10th, in the
Leipsic Gazette, says :—" The Senate has lately
increased its power and its independence by a
new measure. Hitherto the Ministers were taken
from the Senate, so that they had a right to be pre-
sent at the sittings, and to take part in the votes.
But now, after considerable and very violent dis-
cussions, it has been decided that the Ministers
shall not be admitted to the Senate except by the
consent of the majority. The consequence of this
decision soon became apparent. The Ministers
wished to get a law on the elections for the skup-
schlina adopted by the Senate, and thought them-
selves sure of snecess. But since they have been
excluded from the Seuate, this hope has failed
them. All the Ministers have consequently re-
signed, which is a very serious thing at the pre-
sent moment."

DAMASCUS.

A letter from Beyrout of the 30th ult. says :
" The caravan of pilgrims from Mecca returned to
Damascus on the 24th inst., reduced in number by
one half from cholera and the fatigues of the
journey. The sanitary authorities of Damascus
wished to place them under quarantine, but the
pilgrims would not submit to the measure, and,
without ceremony, put themselves in communica-
iton with the inhabitants. A sanguinary conflict
took place on the 24th between two hordes of
Bedouins, near Nazareth and the ancient Sichem,
now called Naplusi. Upwards of 400 men were
killed, and the victors devastated and pillaged se-
veral villages. The criminals who violated and
massaered an American family in January last have
at lengthbeen discovered and arrested. They are six
in number. The Pacha of Beyrout has written to
Constantinople for orders, either to execute them
in Syria, or to deliver them up to the Americans.
Prince Bechir, governor of Mount Libanus, is still
at Beyrout ; he oannot return to his post, in con-
sequence of the opposition of the inhabitants, who
will not submit to his authority. The absence of a
chief unfortunately causes many disturbances in
the mountain. The Druses lately killed eight
Christians who were together in one house. The
Holy See has not accepted the resignation of Mgr.
Clement, the Greek Catholic patriarch, and he is
compelled to resume his functions. He is still
endeavouring to get the Gregorian calendar
adopted by his nation. Commerce is very dull in
this port, and there is an absolute dearth of specie
throughout the whole of Syria. Corn is abundant,
but, notwithstanding the low price at which it is
offered, no purchasers are to be met with.

DUTCH RHENISH.

The receipts on this line for the fortnight ending
the 30th September amounted to £7,426, and for
the corresponding period of last year to £6,926,
showing an increase of £5OO. The receipts since
the Ist of May, including the above, amount to
£75,164, showing an increase over the correspond-
ing period of last year of £5,389. The working
expenses for the fortnight ending the 30th of Sep-
tember amounted to £2,823, or 38.01 per cent, of
the receipts, and from the Ist of May to the 30th
of September to £28,142, or 37.44 per cent. The
accounts for the last year having been kept upon a
different system, no fair comparison of the fort-
nightly expenditure is possible, but the expenditure
of the year 1857-58 was 55 per cent.

ALARMING
RAILWAY COLLISION.--An alarming
Alision occurred on Friday afternoon, on the Birkenhead/
Lancashire, aad Cheshire Junction Railway, near Cheshire.
An express train ran into a light (or detached) engine ; and

ously. The injuries were chiefly cuts and bruises from tha

ELOPEMENT OF A LADY.

Within. the last few -days a great sensation kits:
been created in :the East- Riding of Yorkshire, iri
consequence of the reported, elopement 'of a you'n'g'
lady, the'clanghter of a gentleman of great affluence,
and a deputy-lieutenant of the county. • From the
information which 'has been furnished to our cor-
respondent, it appears that the young lady, who is
23 or 24 years of age, and said to be the daughter of
a banker, and to be worth, in her own right,
the sum of .ElO,OOO, fixed her affections
upon a man in a- much inferior position
in life, and a few years her senior. She, according
to -rumour, had been disappointed of her " first
love, a person of equal position in society with her-.
self,- through theinterposition ofr*r considerate
parents, who, as is very -.often tliCfose, determined
that she should spend the remainder her days
" for better, for worse," with-the'int‘nrof
,their choice

a widower with a small family. Two or three

years ago her father hired a • groom, who, in addi-
tion to nib aurfortaking care of the horses, had also
to attend to the young lady in her equestrian excur-
sions in the neighbouring district. At length an
attachment sprang up between the young lady and
the groom, which so far progressed that a secret
marriage was resolved upon ; but apparently so dim
was the" flame which Cupid had lighted up in the
breasts of the respective parties, that it seems no
suspicion was entertained of their intentions. Wed-
nesday last was fixed upon for the flight, and on
the morning of that day the young lady left her
home, as usual, on horseback. She was only a few
miles from Beverley, and she at once proceeded
thither. Leaving her faithful Rosinante in the
care of " mine host," she, aided by her lover, who
was, of course, the principal actor in this matrimo-
nial plot, procured a post-chaise, in which the in-
tended bride and bridegroom proceeded to York, a dis-
tance of 30 miles, and they arrived in that city at
four or five -o'clock in the afternoon. Their final
destination, however, was the south, and the
" happy pair," thinking it unsafe to remain more than
a few hours, took their departure between nine and
ten o'clock the same night by the mail train for Lon-
don, it being arranged that the Gordian knot should
be tied early the following morning in or near
the metropolis. In the meantime the prolonged
absence of Miss and the groom created con-
siderable uneasiness at home ; and such information
haVing been furnished to the disconsolate parents
as rendered it clear what had happened, an imme-
diate pursuit was resolved upon, and we understand
the mother and brother of the Toung lady arrived
at York about four o'clock on the following morn-
ing. At that time, though unknown to them, the
" birds had flown," and, consequently, the diligent
search that was made, and in which the police took
part, was completely fruitless.

DAMASCUS.

A letter from Beyrout of the 30th ult. says :
" The caravan of pilgrims from Mecca returned to
Damascus on the 24th inst., reduced in number by
one half from cholera and the fatigues of the
journey. The sanitary authorities of Damascus
wished to place them under quarantine, but the
pilgrims would not submit to the measure, and,
without ceremony, put themselves in communica-
iton with the inhabitants. A sanguinary conflict
took place on the 24th between two hordes of
Bedouins, near Nazareth and the ancient Sichem,
now called Naplusi. Upwards of 400 men were
killed, and the victors devastited and pillaged se-
veral villages. The criminals who violated and
massaercd an American family in January last have
at length been discovered and arrested. They are six
in number. The Pacha of Beyrout has written to
Constantinople for orders, either to execute them
in Syria, or to deliver them up to the Americans.
Prince Bechir, governor of Mount Libanus, is still
at Beyrout ; he cannot return to his post, in con-
sequence of the opposition of the inhabitants, who
will not submit to his authority. The absence of a
chief unfortunately causes many disturbances in
the mountain. The Druses lately killed eight
Christians who were together in one house. The
Holy See has not accepted the resignation of Mgr.
Clement, the Greek Catholic patriarch, and he is
compelled to resume his functions. He is still
endeavouring to get the Gregorian calendar
adopted by his nation. Commerce is very dull in
this port, and there is an absolute dearth of specie
throughout the whole of Syria. Corn is abundant,
but, notwithstanding the low price at which it is
offered, no purchasers are to be met with.

TES INDIAN MUTINIES•

THE OrTEREAK AT CHITTAGONGF.
A writer adverting to the recent mutiny at Chit-
tagong, sivs :—" I am sorry to say— and it shows
how far from hopeless the rebels yet consider their
case, that the three clmpanies of the 34th Native
Infantry that had remained apparently true have
thrown off all disguise, risen, released all the pri-
soners in the gaol (at Chittagong), plundered the
treasury of three lass of rupees, murdered a non-
commissioned officer who tried to dissuade them from
vicleuce, and gone off with their booty and the
Government elephants, making, no doubt, for
Dacca, where there will be a disturbance unless
the most prompt measures are taken. Lord Can-
ning has been most unjustly assailed touching
many matters ; but as respects this outbreak at
Chittagong I confess I do not see what excuse can
be made. To have relied on the fidelity of any
one native regiment in the service, or of any por-
tion of any regiment, was a strange infatuation
after the lessons of the last six months. Troops
have been arriving daily in large numbers, and only
two or three days ago about 4,000 men were in-
spected on the Midan. We have a large num-
ber of steamers here ; Chittagong could have been
reached in a few hours, and one company of British
bayonets would have preserved the peace, saved
30,0001., and prevented the junction of these
latest rebels with the disaffected cf the adjacent
districts. The fact is, that when tbo Government
saw the Bengal army was thoroughly disorganised
it should have disarmed, if not disbanded, the
whole. Supposing even half-a-dozen regiments
had remained true (for want of opportunity, pro-
bably, to throw off their allegiance), the inconve-
nience would not have been small when the time
came for the re-formation of the army. At
this moment there is a native regiment of
infantry, and two of irregular cavalry—some
3,000 men—at Berhampoor, with arms in their
hands, which we have a right to fear would be
turned against us if the utmost vigilance were not
observed. When everything has to be done by
British soldiers, and when the few we have hitherto
had have had to watch their native allies; would it
not have been better to get rid of the fellows alto-
gether ? The Chittagong affair is damaging, and
the outcry will bo loud if things go wrong at
Dacca."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

It is satisfactory to notice the general feeling of
confidence with which the commercial public
are looking forward to the probable course of
events during the year just commenced. Indi-
cations of improvement having been observable,
the laSt two or three weeks, the gloom occasioned
by the crisis and its lamentable results, is fast die-
appearing, and, with a further reduction in the
value of money, pr. parations will soon be com-
menced for a resumption of business, on a safer
though less extensive basis tha❑ existed prior to
the general collapse. The gigantic failures that
have taken place have cleared the mercantile rela-
tions of this country, of America, and the northern
cities of Europe also, from much that was unsound
and pernicious ; it may, therefore, be hoped that
the causes which have produced such incalculable
distress may he avoided hereafter. As it is im-
possible to prevent speculation, however, it is
ridiculous to suppose that there can be perfect
immunity from similar convulsions, but after what
has °mitred during the Autumn, we may
anticipate a much healthier state of things for the
next few years, until, in fact, the trade of the
United Kingdom is again forced beyond legitimate
bounds.

The incidents connected with the crisis are too
fresh in the minds of the public to require recapi-
tulation ; and as they afford an instructive lesson
that will act as a guide to the numerous compara-
tively young firtur, who will now become more pro-
minent, through the fall of so many of their larger
competitors, it is desirable that they should not be
soon forgotten. The lax system of credit which
seems to have been extensively and almost univer-
sally introduced, is proved to have been abortive,
and although it is impossible to anticipate its com-
plete suppression, a hope is indulged that the mer-
cantile interests will henceforth relinquish, as much
as possible, the use of "open credits," and other
similar but equally destructive devices, in order to
maintain their position.
During the past year the fluctuations on the va-
rious public and private securities have been im-
portant. In the English Funds the variation has
been as much as 8 per cent., and in some of the
Foreign Securities, such as Turkish Bonds, he
difference in values has been about 14 per cent.
Railivay Shares have shown some considerable
changes. The different stocks and shares and the
variations in quotations are shown in the following
table :

NATIVE CREDULITY OE ENGLISH SUCCESSES.

A private letter from Calcutta mentions the utter
incredulity that pervades the native mind as to the
reality of the successes we have obtained. The
writer says :—" Lucknow has been relieved but
not taken possession of ; indeed, the latest news
only places us in one of its outskirts, which was not
gained until after some very severe fighting. My
opinion is that there will yet be very serious oppo-
sition in Oude ; and where the news of the fall of
Delhi is believed, it does not seem to have bad the
anticipated effect. But you will be surprised to
learn that it is very generally disbelieved by
Mahommedans ; and here, in Calcutta, it is a fact
that up to this day they believe that we land a
regiment and send it down the river again and
re-land it, as a means of impressing the people with
an idea of the rapidity with which larger reinforce-
ments are arriving. This seems incredible,- but I
repeat that it is a fact."
