EitTitatiant Natty CISCUMSTANCE.—An elderly female, who hid for a numb. r a.f years been afflicted in a manner which frustrated the drill of wine of the most eminent of • the faculty, expired a few days ago under her acute dolor der, in the alms-houses of Christchurch, Surrey ; when, on opening h-r body, a singulardiacovery was made, which excited considerable int.rest among the sttulents of ana tomy. The unfortunat? aleceased had for a long time la- , poured under the must excessive pain, and the size of her • pi rum had latterly increased to an immoderate bulk, which causes' her grit ditilealty in walking. and the symptoms u - perkily wer_ those peculiar to a dropsical complaint : her face was of a ghastly and deathlike hue. In this way she lingered until nature, quite exhausted, compelled her to re sign htTself to her bed, where she continued until her j death put an end to her snaring., although every remedy was resorted to for her recovery that medical skill could devise. I ler body having been opened, a large substance of fleshy matter, weighing 39hw. was found in her inside, anal th. liver was so considerably altered in its colour and size, that :t weighed upwind, of ?nibs ; so that the unfor tunate &yeasts!.

One of the boilers of the George the Fourth steam ,packet, from Bristol to this port, exploded on Sunday j night, about half-part ten oylock. Upon hearing of the accident the following morning, I went on board the i packet, and found that one of : he stokers had II list 1118 life by the explosion. When the vessel arrived, two or the men that atteiti the fires went down the hatch Way 1 to draw them; during that time the.hpiler burst upon this 1 top ; the steam passed over the honk.; under the deck of , the boat, and came out et the hatchway, the only place of !escape for the men. One got up quickly, through the steam, the other in a minute or two Afterwan!s. They were imineliately cor.veyed to the Infirmary, where the i latter died at al.out two yesterday morning. I wesst to the Infirmary, to inquire when the Inquest would be held. i Was told it is not usual to bola Inquests on such oeca sums, and that the holly was to be buried in the after noon. I informed one of the Coroners of the accident, and said I wished to attend the Inquest. Soon after two Coroners accompanied sue to the v esse l, ' where Irr. Sharp joined us, when the inquest was appointed 1 for this morning. In addition to the questions let. by the Coroner, I presentel him the annexed list ; the answers attached are those received from the engineer of the packet. In the perusal you will perceive two great disadvantages ' in the common rondenaing engines, notwithstanding so much has been said of the-ir safety. Ist, The boilers being ill formed to sustain pressure, are nemr proved. Yd, The I steam from the low pr inure boilers scalds so as to destroy life very quickly. You will likewise perceive in the eyelet/se, that high pressure boihr% are always preyed, and, as you well know, high preterite steam dots not 'add. Were high pressure boilers proved millet week, having pro per preeaanonary safety-valves, ise., th ere is not the least 'probability that widens* weak &ear ; being infinitely more useful and safe than the boilers attached to coriders ing engines. The rind in the boiler (stated to be two fret long) was Ave feet long. It was in the steam part; had it been towards the bottom, it is highly probable the ealami.y would have been greater. .. . .. Your obt divot servant, W---.. Durinr 'the examination of the witnt sato, before Jones, Esq., Coroner, upon the body of Vi'illiam Farrell, the following questions were put to the engineer of the George the Fourth steam-packet : Were there an other limo°, hurt?—(B, the wan who was scsided)—One; I am very much scalded with the steam. flow many boilers are their in the boat?—Two.

Are there any other selfaetlng means of escape fur the steam / None. In what state did you fled the safety-valve?—The steam was blowing off through it at the thne of the accident. What is the substance of the metal?—About three quarters of en inch in the thickest part of the angle-iron; the top plates are live-sixteenths ; the rest of the boiler halr.ineh. Were the boilers proved pervious to being put to work P—Boilers for condensing engines are Pete? pruipta.

N.B. 'rite two tubes that convey the steam from the safety-valves* II a e chimney are apparently about two and • half Mehl.. die ter. I could not learn the dimansionsof the valves.

Sk•L SIIMITING.--Last week a fisherman oti the Tav, who had been caronsing with some boon coripanions, in passing along the beach to his cottage, in the tiusk of the evening, 55111, chow upon the river, what he imaginAl was * seal. The fisherman—an old hand at seal-shooting— immediately stole home, and having loaded his gun with a due proportion of slug, returned with all possible rape dition, cre.•ping cautiously on his hands and ►sues till he aptroached witlfin a proper distance, and having taken better aim than might have been expected front the wa veriug state of his optics, shot the animal dead upon the spot. I llorying in Ins achievement, he boldly ran forward, and seizing his prize, with sonic exertion, dragged it home to his abode, and, with evident taarks of exultation, dis played to the wondering eyes of his worthy helpmate, not the oily and sleek-skintied phoca, but the grisly, and now gory, carcase of—their only pig, which having escaped from its " durance vile," had wandered to the beach in search of food, and thus met its untimely end. Our in ' formant adds a portion of the agerable conversation that prised lietween the luckless fisherman and his wife en the above catastrophe ; but this we leave to be filled up by the inuagination of the reader.—fife Het a.V.
