Yesterday George Blake, a sailor of gigaalie stature, Asa ferocious appearance, Ann, his Tire, and Elizabeth Anti Tyrrell, her mother, were brought up from St. George's watch-house in the East, in custody of the parish officers, and put to the bar before Sir Daniel William, and Matthew Wyatt, Esq. the then sitting Magistrates, e barged with ex teeme cruelty to a male iota'', aged about two years, and on suspicion of being ilirgalty poosesaed of the same. The poor child, the origin of this examination, was placed on a seat in the Justice room, when its wan and emaciated appearance presented, literally speaking, a living skeleton. The nation occupied the Magistrates the greater part of the day. After the necessary arrangements were made, the following 'Masses were called is separately and examined. Mrs. Sarah Laing, of Nu. IS, Henry-street, St. George's is the East, beige sweet, deposed, that she was sitting is her own house between nitre and ten o'clock on Monday night, when her attention was arrested at seeing a crowd of persons collected is front of the house opposite to her's, where the primmer(' all lived together; curiosity led her " over' the way." when she was horror-struck at seeing a poor half•' asked keitgryloohtmg child, clambering to the window sad screaming for bread. She ran and "fetched" the poor little innocent some bread and butter, which she lauded is at a broken pane in the wiaduw,and which it seemed greedily to devour. Maas was informed by the persons steadies( around, that the occupiers of the house bad mos net, about ten o'clock ill the morning, leaving the chin Meted up by itself, sad that they were sot come home since. Wm took the poor little suferer out at the broken pane, thew conveyed it to the watch-house, and from thence home, and sheltered it all sight. The Prisoners came home about eleven o'clock. . . Seve.al oilier witnesses corroborated the teeth /keel sti Mrs. Laing, and added, that when the child was Ora heard to cry, the window shutters were closed butt, but were sows broken open by the mob, and that the child then seemed fearful to come out, as if cautioned against doing so. Mrs. Huxley deposed, she resides in the same street, and has known the chili to be similarly coufined at various times. It when the Prisoners used to be at home. Witness, in the mune of conversation with the female Prisoner Blake, was informed by her, that she found the child some time ago, lying in the Yarmouth road, wrapped up la • blanket, and brought it home to her mother, who on receiving it, " Let it share with the rest." The "old woman" (meaning !dialler Tyrell,) told winters frequently, that the sailor seve ral times cruelly beat the child with a Mae on the bottom. It is witness's Sim belief, that the child was stolen from its proper paresis, and that it is not the offspriug of either of the Prisoners, as represented to tie. Mr Scudder, a very respectable man, who tills the situa tion of constable of the paints, said, that in censeq' of the child being brought to the watch-house, aud being iu formed of the mysterious and unnatural circiamstauces at tending it, he proceeded betwera tea and eleven o'clock that night, in order to apprehend the Knower", when ea his road he was met by Blake and his wife, lbllolll he took into custody, and cnaveyed to the watch-holier, aud there, in answer to some interrogatories, they told him the child was theirs, and that the Prisoner Tyrrell was gone into the coun try. Bet a few minutes elapsed before she made her appear ance, and seemingly in a great rage demanded her " chitd," saying it was her " offspring;" that she had bad it after the death of her bullhead, and to save disgrace, endeavoured le peas it fur her daughter's. The witness took the child into • 'private apartment of the wmcit-house, mud questioned it as to the treatment it met with, when it said that• "4 Mammy" frequeatly beat him serenely with a cane. He was told by a woman who examined it, that its back was' completely lald open from " 'scourging." Mr. George Bagadell, of Back Church-lane, Whiteckspel„ heard the sailorma his way to the watch-house, exclaim that the child was his, end he should have hint back. The female Primmer Blake, being cross-examined by Sir Daniel Williams, said ler , mother was an artificial flower maker, and travelled the country with her uwa manufacture. Sir Daniel—You told Mrs. Huxley that you (quad the child in the Yanuanth-ruad, in a basket; is it time' Pri —No, Sir, it is out. Sir Daniel—Then where did you And it Frisoner—lt's my mother's, Sir. Sir Daniel—How Wag is your father dead' Prisoner—About nun months; he was a sailor, and lived at Liman/use. Aun Tyra!' was then called in and examined. Sir Delphi—How long is your husband drad, sad what was he? Primmew—Heiollowed.the see, aid is dead I believe better than two years. Hot, your Worship, this latter circumstance the undertakereas tell best ; he is is waiting. Sir Daniel—This reference to the undertaker is outrun proof of your tiffecticurfor your husbawd. Mr. Wyatt—Where was the child baptised ? Primmer—He was never baptised, your Humour. Sir Daniel Williams realarked, that there was se sleek mystery attached to the that the cue .sguired iigul inquiry. He therefore ordered the parish officers to take it imu the workhouse, and have It advertised tei else newspapers, and that by giving an accurate description of it, the diecon solate pareats wuold probably he diocovesed. the worthy Magi.trate ordered the Prisoners to give meaty-four hours ;Mire of bail. The office and street outside were 'Bluth crowded during the criamisatiou. 111ARIMOROVGH.STREET.

Captain Skinner says— ~ I us of opinion a steam packet of about ISO Inas boe Mr, of form 'bailor to that of the "Meow., with a little finer instruce and strength of Isaithiing, with masts and snits of the same, would be the hest ; a vessel of that description would be able to make a voyage wisest it was uufit rather fur any other vessel to pat to sea." Captain Davies onyx— " The two vessels ou this station have answered wonder. rally welt." The testimony of the Holyhead commanders is not only extremely important, in consequence of the experience tht 3 , have had of the performance of the steam packets during the last winter, but also because it is to be recollected, that even after the Talbot and istuahoe had been on the station, it was their opinion that no vessel could perform the winter service with safety hut sailing cutters, such as the old Holyhead packets. This opinion it was natural they should entertain, knowing so well as they did, the heavy seas and desperate gales which frequently prevail for weeks together in the Irish Chanted. But the trial of last winter having now brought them to acknowledge a change of opinion, this circumstance does every thing that by possibi lity could be wonting to establish, upon the best authority, the safety and superiority of strum boats for this service. Notwitbiirling the great number of steam boats which have been constantly in use, in different parts of the kingdom, during the last ten years, very few accidents have occurred, and these few were chiefly owing to the novelty of the experi ment ; so many precautions are now taken that there is no reason to apprehend the recurrence of any serious accidents. The general use of low pressure boilers made of wrought iron or copper has removed the possibility of accidents from their bursting. If one of these boilers give way, the materials do not fly. but ore rent asunder.— This part of the subject was fully investigstud by the Select Colussitice on Steam Navigation in 1817; and the evidence given before that Committee con tains every thing that is necessary to remove till .p. preherisions of danger from the bursting of low poessure boilers. in respect to the furnaces. they are so constructed that there is no danger from fire, because there *rewriter all around them. Mr. James Brown says, " I hardly think it possible that fire ern take place, because the furnaces are completely surrounded with five inches of water round every pert." . The coals are kept in iron cases so as to prevent all communication with the fires; and if, in additien to these precautions, vessels are suppli ed wills eltioguishing fire-engines, there is no dan ger of accident from fire. It has been suggested, that stenos : vessels are wit provided with a sufficient number of boats, and that an Act of Parliament sherd& Eta passed to require every vessel to carry a certain number, according to her entuage; last your Committe, after the tallest consideration. are strotigly of opinion that the policy of avoiding to do ally thing that could by possibility check the spirit or improvement which now iris° prevadent,and which promises such great rifleman's to the public, is that which ought to he followed. It is to be remem bered, that the expense of fitting out steam vessels is very heavy, and that proper experimercts of stew invento - ms caritiot be made but with risk of incurring great loss; and as lathing would check the seal of those who are disposed to make such experiments so certainly as the meddling of officers exercising the powers of a regulating Act of Parliament, no thing could be more baneful than the interference of the Legislature with this new branch of science. The B.llait Office of Dublin brought a Bill before the House of Commons last yeur, fur the purpose of appointing inspectors over the Liverpool and Dublin pockets; but the Chief Secretary of Ire land, Mr. Grant, very judiciously put a stop to its progress. Individual security in steam boats will always be sufficiently provided for by the interest of the proprietors constantly contributing to lead them to do all those things which will best obtain the custom of the public. Competition in ibis ode; as in all others, will more effectually establish those precautions which are right to be taken, than the best devised regulations of sit Act of Parliamelit. Bat at the mule time that your Committee decline to recommend airy legislative control, they are de cidedly of opinion that the owners of steam vessels who omit to provide a sufficient number of boats to secure the safety of their Ir.s.eligeov, its cose•of any sadden occident, see guilty of great neglect, and not deserving of the countenarn e and support of the public. Besides this precaution, in respect to boat*. there ought to be on board every steam boat, for the perusal of the psisomigers, a certificate of some experienced engineer, to testify the atretigi hi of the boilers, the sufficiency of the valves. the safety of the furnaces, and the general good condi tiou of the vessel and machinery. The speed and regularity with which steam boats perform their voyages is the next point worthy of being brought under the notice of the House. The average lewth of the voyager' of the Holy head packets, from the lit of June, 1841, to the let Alf June, /83e, has been uhout seven hours and a half ; the average, of the nailing psckets was tit teeu hours. Captain Percy, who commends the I,lera London and Alargate parker, says, " We generally make the passage in seven hours anal a half. the distance being eighty-four miles." 110.• James Brown says, "The Adinburgh Castle has gone from London to Leith in fifty-eight hours, al distance of four hoodred and htty miles; but that' the Jong Mu is a tester vessel, her speed being ' ..~,~~ aew r SF ••• sue., .~~ ten miles an Lout throe is din greier k isgetesste nt of.isisitt and side." TX?: X. 7..'31.1a Mr. Trulll states that-Ale-Majestic has performed the voyage fronsGreenock' to Ltirrpoul, • dikluice u r two hund r ed forty miles, in twenty-t,wo boats; and that the St. Patrick came from Dublin In Liverpool, one hundred suit thirty toiler, in thin- teen hours and a half, agaui4t LI Ole breeze from the east. The Lord Melville goes froth Loodosi ! bridge to Calais in eleven or twelve hours. This greet speed, with which the voyages ere made by steam boats, adds considerably to their sunerioiity over other vessels in point of safety; for in the sane degree that the time occupied in performing a voy age is diminished, so is the risk of danger also to which passenger* are exposed. It is now evident that the failure of all the early attempts to apply steam to sea boats was owing to their being built too square; to their want of strength, and to the want of a sufficient quantity or steaming power. According as boats hove been built with a form planned oti better sailing principles, with greater strength of timber, end with engines of in creased power, the progress of their success bas exactly corresponded with these improvements. After having given some very important state ments respecting the structure of the vessel-, the machinery, SM., the Committee pror'ettl : • " Notwithstanding the great and rapid progress which steam navigation has made, it is still considered by the ablest engineers to be only in its infancy; experience suggests, in every new vessel and engine, some improvement so be made, or some defects to be removed. The numerous compasnis that have be.n formed in so many parts albs, United King. dom ; have rsiablished an extent of competition whieh serer. wetly excites all the scieuee or the country to seize on every opportunity of making every thing better than is has been chide before; and as the confidence of the public in steam boats leads to the general use of ohms, there is that fair re liant fur enterprising undertakings which will effectually sustain the general rp rit which prevails amongst all the most scientific engineers, seamen and ship betide,,, to invent farther improvements. " It appears from the evidence, that rittemps• are now making by very ingenious individuals to remove Sofas of those defects which have been described to belong to the engines now in nix. "Mr. Brunel is engaged on a plan for making the mire more compact and more simple. and at the SIMS tine stronger; and to enable it, by certain mechanical cumbisa ions, to adapt cud accommodate itself to all the evrigencies and to all the perturbations incident to its particular ser vices. " Mr. Galloway and Mr. Perking feel confident that high pressure balers may be on contrived as to be Ned wit► the g. fittest advantage. Mr. Perkins, in his answers to dm circular queries, gives - such strong evidence in favour of them, from the actual use of them in 150 American steam boats, as so go far towards removing the prevailing objec tions to them. " Mr. Dunkin is of opinion that a rotary furnace, en Mr. Breslau's priseiple, may be applied to steam vessels. " Mr. OWliam, of the Batik of Ireland. has invested a plan of revolving paddles, to avoid the defects of the fixed paddles as now used. He slates, that the violent Mims of the paddles of common wheels, io stetting the water in a • rough us, is collies!, removed by the use of the revolving paddles, as they enter and rise out of the wale► Isiah a pecu liarly soft and easy motion. • • • " Your Committee have endeavoured to avoid all partia lity in the urangenseut they have made of the evidence os tler separate beads, stud in their observations upon it; their object has been to bring as concisely as it was practicable • snider the notice of the House, all the prominent advantages and defects of steam navigation at sea ; with the opinions of the most scirotific professional me■ upon the best means of improving it. • • • • • • " The merit of firm applying steam cosines to tea sari gation is certainly due to the skill and easorprise of the en gineers and ship hailders of the Clyde; for it was tangoes. tiunably the sumo +. of their steam boats on the Holyhead station which led the Post-office to establish their boats fur keeping up the croommuuicatmu brtaren t►e two countries." The Committee, in conclusion, most truly remark, that— " The great importance of a thorough acquaintance with every thing belonging to steam navigatiou, for securing a eertat■ and rapid conveyance of the public correspondence. where seas are to be crowd, has induced your Committee to take this (coeval view of the whole subject as a preparatory step to comiog to that part of the order of the House which requires your Committee to examine into the eunveyaace of ►is Majesty's mails between Holyhead and Houk " Your Committee consider the i•formatio■ which has been given by so many distioguished practical engineers and shipbuilders al extremely valuable, and that every praise is due to them for the readiness and zeal with which they have coutributed to felicitr the iaquiry of your Committee of mere! utility. Not only the Post•ufice, but all private companies engaged in means boasis may obtsi• great assistance from opiaions derived from such ex tensive unreal of science and experiment ; at the same time that the public will be benefited by those various improve. meats which they suggest, and which will be the natural coos. quruces of the persevering efforts of the great tallest' which distinguish these professions in Great Britain."
