He said slime was an old notion, but an ignorant use, diet if a forged instrument was destroyed there was an end to the prosecution, sad he gave as an instance a young men who was in custody at ibis office in the year 1809 fur a fingery on a jeweller in she Strand, when the uncle of the young man, a respectable Clergyman, getting the instrument into his hands. burnt it. He also immured several eases, and quoted tile mutliusliy of Lord kllenhn rough in support of . doctrine, also of Mr. homier Bulb r, who •as one of the •li!est lanyers this coustry knew, who allowed the trial of • man to proceed without the pandsedun of • forged Bank note.

[The riTth Report of the Select Committee of the Hpuie of Commons on the London sod Holy livid Roads', on the regulations for conveying the moil beti►res, London and Dublin, &c. u ■ most iiitereeting distort:trot. It investigates the sub ject, which is daily becoming of more import ance from its general adoption, not only on rivers and canals, but in crossing seas—tmumely, steam tiaviption. The Committee trace the original ■pphcation of steam to the purposes of impelling vessels, Hod prove (though the Ame rican)* have the merit of bringing the invention into use) that to Engteed belongs *II the glory of this invention. The Committee next advert to the verious adoptions of strain boats, and state, from the evidence adduced, that the experience of what strain boats have performed, is fully sufficient to place beyond all doubt their safety even in the most tempestuous weather !" We shall make en extract from' the cocumencemeut of the Report, cooly premising that we have seldom read a Parlia mentary document of inure interest.] Your Committee, since they presented to the House their Second Report, have prosecuted the in quiry, then only just begun, into the important sub• ject of steam bouts. The first instance of applying steam to vessels, is that which occurred in 1736, when Mr. Hull obtained letters-1.141cm for the construction' of a steam boat for towing vessels in and ont of port. The application of peddle-wheels, now so generally adopted, appears to have beeu originally suggested by this patent. Mr. Hull proposed to employ the atmospheroc engine of Newcotnen, which by means of a crank, communicating with the working-beam, imparted a rotary action to the wheels and paddles which were placed at the bow of the vessel. Next in successiun were the experiments of the Duke of Bridgewater, to use steam•buats for towing barges on canals ; and then came those of Mr. Miller, of Dalswinton, in the comity of Dum fries, ins double ve►sel with ■ wheel In the middle. But after Mr. Hull the Marquis de Jouffroy un questionably hulas the most distinguished rink in the list of practical engineers, who have added to the value of 'the invention : in 1701 he constructed a steam boat at Lyons of 140 feet in length ; and with this he made several successful experiments on the river Sosne. In 1795 Lord Stanhope con toructed a boat to be moved by steam. Isi 1301 Mr. Symington tried a host that was propelled by steam on the Forth and Clyde navigation. Still no practical uses resulted from any of those attempts. It was nut till the year 1807, when the Ameri cans began to use steam boats on their rivets, that their safety and utility was first proved. But the whole merit of constructing these boats is due to natives of Grevt Britain ; Mr. Henry Bell, ..f Glasgow, gave the first model of them to Mr. Fulton, and went over to America to assist him in establishing them; and Mr. Fulton gut thesengines he used in his first steam boat on the Hudson river from Messrs. &whoa and Watt. Steam navigation seems to have made great pro gress from this time in Auserics. It swears from the Report of the Select Committee of the Season of 1817, on this subject, that there were then 17 large steam hosts its enlisting employment on the American riven., besides ferry bouts. A list of strain boat,. has been published by Mr. Rubinson, which shows, that on the Mississippi ;done, the ton nage of those in work at present amounts to 7,259 tons, nod of those building to 5 995 loin. There are now, in all, übsut 300 steam boats its use in America. Mr. Bell continued to turn his talents to the im proving of strum apparatus and its application is va►ious muoistiectures about Glasgow ; and its 1811 corotructril the COMei tite4ol-boat, of 45 cons, with engine of four-horse ;rower, to navigate the Clyde between Glasgow mod the Ilelensburgh Baths, established by him on an extrusive scale. The success of this experiment led to the constructing of several steam•boutr, by other pergolas, of larger dimensions and with g►eater steaming limber. These having superseded Mr. Bell'. small boat in the Clyde, it was enlarged. and established as a regular packet between Glas gow and the western end of the Caledonian canal at Fort IVilliarn, by way of the Crinan canal in Argyleshire. Mr. Bell 'about the seine time con structed the Stirling Castle steam-boat, and em ployed her on the river Forth, between Leith and Stirling ; lie afterward. took her to Invertiem, where she has been for two years plying between that town and Fort Augustus, going seven miles by the Caledonian canal, end 9.3 mules along Loch Ness. Mauy other bouts were succesfully established übout this time on the Forth and Clyde, and several on the rivers Tay, Thames, Mersey, nod Humber, and between Southampton and the Isle of 11'ight ; but it was not till the year-1818 that a steam host was made use of to perform regular voyages at In this year the Rob Hoy, of ninety tons, built by Mr. Drolly, of Dumbarton. and with au engine of thirty-horse (ower, made by Mr. Napier, of Glasgow, plied regula►ly between Greenock and Belfast, and proved the practicability of extruding the rise Of ihr steam-eugine to ►ea mitigation.— Jo the year 1819, the Talbot, of one IlUlltiltd and fifty tons, built by Messrs. 11'oorl, with two thirty horse ei4ineat solute by Mr. Napier, plied daily be tfteett Holy head and Dublin, throughout the whole summer and autumn, and successfully encountered many severe gales. In the year 1820, the leanAoe, of 170 1011 P, built by Mr. J. Scott, with two thirty horse engines wade by Mr. Napier, was established 4111 /he same station ; rind in 18111 the Poptinastera- General introduced strati, bouts at Holyhead and Dove', fur the conveyance of the mall..

All these vessels, except the Cumbria and tieffot, were constructed in the Clyde. In the year 1821 the City of ttilinbargh and lilountuinetr were established to go between London and Leith ; and its the present year there have been already fitted for sea the St. Patrick and Si.

Ferry-boats propelled bT steam, sufficiently commodious to carry earriogc., horses, and settle, hare been established with gre a i, public utility on the Tay, between Du n d ee , 4 , i ) Fifeshire ; at the Queen's Ferry, in Scotland ; uts the Severn, the Mersey, and the Humber, and at other ferrite. • hi the Appendix there is • list, which hos been Made by VG Field, o& all the steam boats which have bees huilt in the United Kingdoni, sheeting their torienge and the power of their engines the names of the builders Roelof the erigine•makers; the date of their being launched, said also the station; where they ply. From this list it appears that, in the space of • very few yeuro, the public have bren accommodated, in all directiorir, with this rare, rapid, and economical mode of conveyance.. The experience of what steam hosts have per formed is fully sufficient to rilar! beyond all &Olt their safety even in the most tempestuous w es ab e os. The Rob Roy plied two winters between Greenock and Belfast, arid last winter between Dover and Calais ; the Eclipse plied the wlw,le of last winter between Glasgow and Belfast; sad t h at Cumbria between Liverpool and Bagilt. A steam boat has plied regularly, through all seasons. between New York, the flavatinali, sod New Orleans. All the other strain boats winds have been used at sea, have been reposed to mime, roue severe gales ; but the trial which the Holy ? head steam boats went through during the lint tempestuous winter, from the nature of the ser vice requiring them to go to sea at a filed hour every day, 'troves that steam boats, when properly constructed, are able to go to sea volteu sailing ves sel, could not, and that in some respects they tow able, in very bad weather, advantages over ailing vessels. l'he following extract, brain the evidence of Captain Rogers is quite conclusive es to the power and safety of *steam boats at sea:— " Q Have you had fall trial of the means ratite, slat, respect Its gale, of •itsd Yes, in every way.
