•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 ,
2t millions sterling.
A large proportion of the • vessels may be recovered by the
Patent Floating Derricks, at a guaranteed rate of salvage,
rangingbetween 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 half7yearly 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 £lO,OOO, in order to construct, and submit to the Public,
one river and one sea-going Derrick, prior to soliciting co-
operation towards the highly 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 £20,000. 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.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR ..CATTLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. 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 bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some
of Thorley's food; and lie says th 6 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, &e., 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.
