MAituououott-sriIEET..-..ANOTHER CAsE OF COMO szEAL:xa.—At a late hour on Thursday night, a yhung woman, calling herself Mau Pao roil, was bsionet down from Mary-la-bonne watch-house, and emimioed before Jowl Bonaows, Esq. charged under die Child-Stealing Act. with forcibly and felonkusly carrying.away a male child, aged between five and six months, the son of Hampden, a private in I, the lu Regiment of Life Guards, under the following most extraordinary circumstancrst—Matilda Hamp den, wife of the prosecutor, being sworn, deposed, that or the 16th of April, 1816; she was standing with the child in her arms, in ftont of the Horse Guards, looking at the soldiers tbi prisoner came up, said it was a fine morning, and introduced a va riety of subjects ; witness answered her, and j•.ined in the conversation ; the ptisor.er wok particular notice of the child, and asked her it she was a widow, or what thesllild's father was ? She (iitness) said he was a snldier belonging to the Life Guards, and was still living. The prisoner remarked her own husband had been a Hussar, and was killed at the Battle of Waterloo, and that she bad received sea from Go. veranient on his behalf. Atter some further conver sation she asked witness where she lived, and she would call next day and see her. as she felt interested with her. Witness gave bee the directfoa where she then lived, in John-street, New-road, and they then dep:itted. On lb! morning of the 17th, she called accordirm to her ptnmise, and they breakfasted tor . tber. Witness kept her for dinner, and afterwards for tea. The prisoner told her she was going out of town next day, but when she came to town again, she would call'and see her. Next morning, however, she again came, and said she had to call at the Spot. ted Dog, in the Strand, in the afternoon, for a bundle. She then said. " Let me take out the child for an airing." Witness teplied, she would soon be going out herself, and the prisoner asked for the shawl and bonnet. She then asked why she could not take it without that? and at last the witness consented to let' t her have them, and she took the child out, as she said, to walk., After several hours had elapsed, wit- ness began to get uneasy about the child; and went , to look for the ptisoner, in which she failed. She in formed her husband of the circumstance, when he came home, and he 'nag almost frantic. Inquiry was made at the Spotted Dog, and it was there ascertain ed she had taken away her bundle. The child was advertised, and placards issued in all directions, but without effect ; not the least trace could be discover ed of the - prisoner's routes all hopes of ever recover ing the child had subsided. When, about a week ago, the peosecuto r . was drinking with a private be longing to the Ioth Hussars, to whom he related the story, ibis man very fortunately recollected one of the men in his own regiment having a child brought to ltim by the prisoner ; and as the names agreed, be expressed las suspicion she might be the same.— Accordingly persons ware dispatched to Hounslow (where she was stated to be), with a view of apps heading her, but when they got there they received ieicitsbation that she was at Hampton. They imme iliately went there and took her into custody, with a' , cisild , about four months old, in her arms, and Brought her up to town. They took her to a public house in Adam-street West, and sent for the parents, l who ideatified her, ,and they,then took her to the, watch-house. The prisoner being asked what became of the child ? said, it had died some • time ago.— Charles .iylvester, the constable, said he was sent for to take the piisoner into custody, and she acknow ledged having stolen the child. From what could Ibe collected from the ptiloner's defence, it appeared that an improper intercourse bad taken place between her and a soldier in the 10th regiment ; that by some means or other they had been separated a sufficient time for the prisoner to have been delivered of a child of the age of the one she bad stolen. In her own words, she said, " She was young and foolish and wanted a husband, therefore she knew no better way of getting one than by persuading the soldier she had a child. —She was committed for further examina tion, when morrwitnesses will attend. posed frost to the rre have eracka generally by co-J• ing after the engine has done wor:"ov:, ; I have Imo an that in three or tour instances haps, in an bk,...r after the etwine has done t`.'. ping, the tubes bc:;,ve have cracked and the (,t!:n n:)r.

Have you any other sumesii , ms to male to the Committee?—As to safety they may tie made as safe as can be conceived of, because they will let the steam escape when it is of an imptoper and these engines I am making will save in fuel very materially; they are on Woult's principle; they wa save two.fiitlis of the fuel. Is it not easy to adjust a safety valve to a bniler, which shall not be accessible Coale. engioe , ,t d!rectir.; the machinery. which shall suflictently protect the boiler from mischief ?—Yes, it is quite practicable. And so to adjust it that it will always act adjusted it will always act, and always be to be cle pended upon. Then you would recommend, in any btAer, such a safety valve to be tmployed ?—Cettainly. Besides another under the ditcction of the man who works the engine?—Yes.

I suppose that proves it to be quite out of danger. Are you aware that there is a difference between trial made by water pressure at a certain temperature, and the exposure of cast iron to the action of tire re. peatedly, by which the metal is heated to a very high degree, and consequently expanded and then cooled again down to a temperature very far indeed below that which it was before exposed to I—l have seen the effect of that ; a boiler I have made has hen composed of three tubes, one a large one and two smaller ones below; those lower tubes, which are ea On the 19:h February last, at Port Louis, is the Mtn( 7rance.

The Jury viewed the body. He appeared to be about 40 years of age, if it was possible to judge of the age in the situation in which it was, for nothing human could have been more shocking to the sight ; a mere anatomy, covered with rags, and every bone protruding through the skin. The following evi dence was afterwards produced :—Thomas Roberts being sworn, stated that he had lodged at t:S. Exeter. street, several years, where the deceased has lodged more than twelve montks ; he lived in the back gar ret ; he did not see the deceased on Tuesday, nor beard hint in his room. On Wednesday last, be; (seen nine and ten o'clock, hr returned from his work ; the landlady, Mrs. Burton, came to his door, and asked him if he had seen Fisher ? for she thought he was dead, and knocked at his door, but received no answer ; the door was locked inside, and at the landlady's request, he forced the door open, and found the deceased lying on the floor by the side of the bed on his back, lie was partly dressed, appa. gently for the purpose of coming out of the room : he put the deceased on the bed and locked the door. He (the deceased) had been ill some months ; he WAS very poor.—Jaeses Foley corroborated the above evidence, and added, that the deceased had some tea given •w him every morning; he did not know that he ever took any thing else ; be had lately com plained that he was wasted to a skeleton ; he was as well-informed man, and never asked for assistance; he bad not his tea on Tuesday morning as usual.— a. Burton, wife of John Burton. 23, Exeter-street, stated, that the deceased had lodged four years in her house ; he paid her Its. 6d. a week ; she gave him the leavings of tea in the morning, he found bread himself. She we,' ebtent from home part of Sunday and 'Monday, and came home about nine o'clock on Tuesday night. She did not know whether the deceased ever ate dinner or supper ; and whether he had died for want of food, or of disease, she could not say. He was a native of Scotland, and bad friends there. .He bad applied to the Scotch Sc. ciety for assistance to go to Scotland. He had net paid his rent fur a long time. • Coroner—" k is evident this man died by the Visitation of Cow"--Jury —" I am satisfied hp died for want of the necessaries of life."---,Anther Juryman- 1 a lam of the same opiniou, and dissent 11111111 the Cormier.

(Cosinued from the STAR of Yesterday.) Mr. Alexander Tilloch called ;Is, and examined. Will you state where you reside ?—At Islingtol. Anil what is your prolession?—l am editor of Ths Philosophical Magazine, and sometimes I am c411:.d upon to act as Engineer ; and I am editor and a pro prretar of 7he .Slar newspaper. Will you be so good, as you know the object f,r which we are met, with regard to the safety of per sons in &ram B )ats, to men:kit what suggestions : you have to make to the Committee on the subject ? My opinion is, that attending to what s':ould bs at. tended to in every Steam. Enginv, and employin.. ; proper Engineers, a Steam Engine %wild be per. feetly safe, whether with high pressure or low pr .s -sure. The boilers ought always to he furnished with safety valves; and if they suspect the possibility of having a stupid man, one of the valves should be covered and out of his reach with a box ova. it, but perforated so that you may see when the steam ope rates on it. A mercurial valve is also very good; that is an inverted syphon, with a column of mer cury in proportion to the purposes fhir which it is to be employed. Do you apprehend much danger to arise, in case of explosion, from that mercury, if it was employ. t--No, because the tube is always perpendicular,i .:ad it the mercury shoots out, at goes away and falls 'own in rain; I am of opinion, a boiler may be de safe either of wrought or cast iron, but for teat strain I would prefer cast iron, contrary to the es •$. titian of many people, and the reason I would efer it, is the same for which it is preferred in iaking cannon. It is not possible to get thick plates o wrought iron perfect throughout, and you trust at i .st to rivets in joining them, but cast-iron boilers .an be made of any strength you please ; instead of ' hiving a boiler that will stand GO, it may be made to stand 600, .'f either wrought or cast-iron. Ann. :tier reason why I would prefer cast-iron is, that the sheet iron corrodes much quicker and destroys by axydation, so that a boiler may be safe when first set up did stand its proof, but very soon become unservice able,or at leastcomparatively so. Boilers should always be composed of cylindrical tubes, and for an obtious reason, capacity should begot by length and number, rather than by diameter. There is no more danger to be apprehended from steam as to bursting, thaa t rom the employment of condensed air, only that the water may scald : but as to the daager of the frag ments being scattered about, it is the same with air sir with steam, and yet all the engineers constantly employ cast-iron receivers, condensers, or air vessels where pressure is wanted. Is not cast-iron liable to suffer some material in ju . y trom the contraction and expansion by heat and su nequent cooling ?—Whether a boiler be made of wrought or of cast-iron the ;natal expands and con. , sects, and expansion or contraction is more or less injurious in proportion as it is often repeated, but it does.nnt prejudice a boiler made of cast more titan One made of wrought iron. Is not it more injurious to cast than wrought iron boilers ?—No, I do not think it is. In case if accident by explosion in a cast and wrought iron boiler, which, in your opinion, would ee attended with the greatest mischief to the person- about it ?—lf in actual explosion takes place, I should think from the east-iron, but I conceive that a. properly constructed cast•iroa boiler would be stronger, and therefore would not explode so soon. A boiler should be proved with cold water, if it is to be applied to high pressure. Are you not aware That cast iron, notwithstanding the greatest possible attention-of the founder, is liable to cavities in the interior substance of the metal, which renders it uncertain when exposed to great de grees of heat?--There may be cavities in cAst iron, but a boiler being proved to a strain bey•)nd that it is td be exposed to by heat, the safety of the boiler is secured ; for the temperature never can be at thatipoint Which will endanger a fracture from that circumstance. Do you mean by that answer, to say that the ra. refection of the air in that cavity may act be so great by the heat as to occasion its bursting ?►-It never can, because the air that produced that cavity was at a white heat at the time the iron closed upon it, and it never can be brought to such a heat in working a boiler ; my opinion is, that by a very high proof at the commencement, and attention to it, you may always have a safe boiler of cast iron. Mr. Ma Hall, called in and mantilla. Where do you live ?—.At Dartford. What are you by profession ?—An engineer and millwright. Have you given any attention to the construction of engines for steam boats ?—I never have ; I have made steam engines, but not for steam boats. The object of this Committee being to inquire into the construction of engines for Steam Boats for die safety of passengers, have you any thing to commn nicate to the Committee on that subject ?—I have only to observe, that I make them in cast iron, and I have proved them by an hydraulic press made CI the purpose, and have gone as high as 2.501 b. to an inch, and that I considered enough ; nothing hap pened ; and I mean the next time to try what they will bear, and I have no doubt they will bear from 700 lb. to 1,000 lb. to an inch, for I be.ieve they can be made now stronger than wrought iron Ivilers ; wrought iron boilers being rivetted together, cannot be so strung as those cast in a solid mass. May not there be some imperfection in cast iron, which may not be discoverable without an accident happening ?—lt is scarcely possible, if it undergoes the ttial I speak of by pressure betbre it is pet to k. _ _ COUNIItY UAREET:,.
