Captain Loch, it is _true, ih allowed to be a good seaman, and may be an able negotiator, but the navy have yet to discover the superior qualifications he pos sesses, and the distinguished services he has rendered, to justify his rapid promotion in time of peace when thousands of war officers could not obtain even employ ment, and which entitled him to the C. 8., when scores, of officers on the list had not'Obly ten times as many claims for the decoration for brillialat,Thishing, and dis creet services against the enemy. 'Moreover, 'Captain Loch has already served one term of commission to wards making himself' eligible for his active , flag rank, whereas no less 50 capteins, made in the sameyear in which Captain Loch was promoted—to say nothing of scores of deserving senior officers—have not bad the chance of a single day's employment as et - plain. The, compliments,, therefore,; _of. our contemporary on the. First Lord's impartiality; are inconsisteht with his pre tended advocacy of the'eclaims of old meritorionio.uod. distinguished but efficient officers, as they are at the exr„ pens() of the Noble Duke's well-knowa appreciation -of the-services of the gallant'prOfession of which he is now happily the head. The unfairness-4re ,nay say injustice—of such rail road promotions as those by which Captain Loch reached his post rank and his standing in , the list, is made evident in the following remerksin ..the Standard of last night. Oar contemporary sajsi . —. "The present Board of Admiralty will, no doubt, en deavour to redress as many grievances as their power may enable them, and there are some cases of hardship which are well wonky of consideration. Many post captains of 15 years' standing and upwards entered the service after some who, of only of 11 yeats' standing as captains, had their lieutenant's commission; thus many with only 25 or 28' years' service are senior officers to those who have been 40 years in the navy, and distin guished themselves in the late war as lieu,, nants, but, for want of interest, were late in obtaining their commis sion as captain. These older officers, but younger cap tains, are told, on applying for consideration, that they do not stand high enough on the captains' list, and thus an appointment is beamed on one 15 years the junior, and who has no good service to plead. This is sorely felt by the old and meritorious-officers." Captain Loch's case is a very appropriate illustration of the Standard's statement. Captain Loch was pro moted to the raelt.of captain in 1841. Of the thirteen officers promoted to the, rank of captain in 1851 — that is, ten years ,later—no less than sir were senior to him as littitenents; and of the officers :promoted in ,the same year. as Captain Loch,, no , less than 50 were lieutenants before Captain Loch even en tPreo the Royal Navy. If the above is all the defence or excuse our contemporary can offer for the ex-First Lord of the Admiralty's 'nomination of Captain Loch, thse l gailant and distinguished officer may truly exclaim, Save me frene,rey , friendsl"—Morning Herald.

I doubt not you are sufficiently, aware of the facts of our national history, and the - pot : Rica' circumstances under which the famous 4034 Neeigatienswas passed. - Introduced - by i T ih o Proieotor, -4.4 165 t, tut ti check upon the maritime aroniti ß e ofetetiel*ClK"thOu the great ocean-carriers ce the evorls,i; A as theereby enacted - that -no merchandise of Asia, Africa, and- Americas should be imported into • Great Britain in any but English, built ships, navigated ny an English c .niniandeti with three-fourths of their crew at least Etiglish. In addition to this exclusive right of British- sVipping, it imposed discriminating duties,irinolfitatgeoder Wleich i might still come in foreign ships froriteropeewere :taxed higher than if they were imported under the British flog. , This system of eavi gation was perfectediar . l . 2th Cha f fles IL,ch. 18, and con tinued during more than 160 years to be the great mari time charter of this i catiotry. :.Probably in that infant state of cue marine, the effect of this system was favour able to,ite . gi owth'arief_ixpansiou e just as you may have seen young trees-surrounded with protecting pallisades, which become a deformity and an encumbrance in their maturer grqwth, and :so it proved in the case of these restrictive' enactments. _Det;laried the law, when the com merce of Englend was yet in embryc-as soon as disco ;vet) had given us e.,Nceielifereld, science new arts, in ,itistry new na , inufavires-_when millions of customers were found foe tur produotioni, and boundless wealth rewarded our labours, the ; principle of the naviga tion law that 'eopght to shelter the little navy of a Rule trade was e no, longer . wise or justifiable.-(Cheers,) It was not; bowever:- re ason , or foresight, but the force of a stern necessity that compelled this country into the adoption of a less restrictive system.-(Hear, hear.) True, Gretius had -written his " Mare Liberum," and Selden his " Mere Clausutn,"-the " Open Sea" and the " Shut Sons," : and ,Sir M D,•cker, Sir J. Child, and others, hail investigated the subject, and either dis puted or supported the policy of. these acts; but truth was not elicited frost} these controversies. We persisted in a rigid protector,-we.:refused to let foreign ships share our carreing trade,-and it still continued to be our policy to drive Mtn the shipS of England the car rying trade of n th U'WhoTe world.-(Hear, hear.) Mean while, howsever, on Abe °Otis side of the Atlantic, a new empire was rapidly matutneg,-a young and vigorous scion from_ the loinii F eel . . per turelatherts,-a country which, when it wrielveak and dependent, was compelled to submit to our protective system; but,which was, even then; speeding forward to therligh-estiny Which awaited its-(CheerC) The independence of the United-States was the inevitable result of our Navigation Laws.- (Hear, hear.) Wita that independence came a re newed energy, and spirit of self-reliance.

S; e what followed - A EQericaßsbips . sailed to Liverpool in ballast, butting British ships in their wake laden wi:h tobrcco, rice, or cotton; : while. British ships traversed the At lantic to Ik.lgn'ir York ballast, with American ships hard in their wake Eiden with caliboes, cutlery, hard care, and iron.- (Hear, hear.) A pretty game for two gr.( at nations' to play for the :pace of 28 years (Laughter.) In 18'15, Ode st=ate of thiegt was put an to by mOual consent. A treaty of reciprocity was signed between Eriglard and America.-(lLar, hear.) A sirciler treaty was next Made' with Portuga-Olear. hear.) In 1823, these treaties produced Us; it natural result-a menace of fretalietion on the part of Prussia.- (Hear, hear.) ! The rfassian Minister of the day called on Mr. Huskiison, and-quietly intimated the intentions of his Governinent. Our -shipowners, too, looking for:- Ward with anxious eye to our Prussian trade, and fear fill of retaliation, exerted themselves in favour of a treaty. Meanwhile Deomark and Sweden demanded a similar concession, -- till 'at length Mr. Huskisson, yielding to a necessity he c . (i,uld no longer oppose, intro duced the Reciprocity Actki', by which it was provided that his then Majesty, King George the Fourth, might by order in eeuried, admit _hips of foreign states into our ports, en`payment'Or such duties as were charged on British vessels, provided - that British ships were admitted into the ports of such foreign . states on.payment of the a-cme duties as were„Jetrarged: on their own vessels. Under the authority of these Acts of Parliament, reci procity treaties have been concluded with the Govern ments different states..-(Hear, hear,) Thus, then.

Now what was the eff-ct of this 'change in .our commercial system? In the five ytetelQ - weeding 1825, when the re procity mee4res of ".I - ; (ttakisson were passed, the British shipping, enteretrlnwerda increased 6 per cent., while the foreign during The 'same period' increased 22 per cent. Renicenber that this proportion took place while our legislative enactments were closely protective. The ports were then ; erneel i to those who would deal with us on equitable `terms. calamity and ruin were prophesied to tea shipping-interests. But what wes the result? In the five ears - between 1825 and 1830; - the entries inwards of Britts_le shipping increased 17 per or nt., while foreign only increased 12 per cent.-(Cheers.) From that peril (.1 till 1840, -our shipping rapidly pro gressed, and the steadily increasing and advancing tide of prosperity showed the soundness of the principle upon which the new policy was based. Then another era dawned, and the name of another great stateman became associated with the shipping interest of the country. In 1841, Sir Robert Peel received the reins of power and immediately set about a thorough revision of our customs tariff. The result to the shipping inter-sta was that from 1841 to 1845 inclusive, there was an increase of 37 per cent. entries inwards of British tonnage, while the in crease in foreign was only 15 per cent.-(Cheers.) The famine of 1847 caused a suspension of our laws of navi gation, and the vessel of all nations were allowed to enter our ports free with cargoes of grain or.flour. To this we must re f er the fact that in 1847 the entries in wards of foreign tonnage were higher, by 447,657 . t0n5, than they were in 1846. , - At the close of 1849, the re peal of our navigthon-laws took place; and in 1850 the entries inwards of foreign tonnaee exceeded, by 354,587 toils, what they were in 1849. The comparative rate of increase during the five years ending 1850, of 28 per cent. British and 50 pe'r eerie." foreign, must be ascribed hare mentioned.-(hear, hear.)

Was rot the value of her imports swollen - from sixty-five millions, in 1842, to one hundred millions in 1850? Did not the aggregate amount of tonnage entered inwards and outwards, in the United Kingdom, increase from 7,046 000 tons in 1842, to 12e019000 tons in 1850? And if our exports and imports have been so augmented, can it be denied that en immense advantage has been derived by the shipping of the country?

[ATS Frg,„,ll2rZ . - , t • tft 7 Would you reverse the freedom of 1842, and return to your condition before 1825?—(Hear and cheers.) Sir, I have purposely confined my obeervations upon the state of our trade up to the year 1850, and I contend, that looking to the then condition of ,the com merce of this country, experience has amply vindicated the wisdom of Mr. Huskisson's policy. But ia• that year a third and last great epoch commenced in the his tory of England's mercantile marine; for in that year the Act of 12th and 13th Victoria, commonly called an Act for the Repeal of the Navigation Laws, was intro &iced by Mr. Labouchere, and passed into law. The immediate einee of the repeal of Mr. Huskisson's Acts was owing to his not having inserted a clause hi' the laws of which ho was the author allowing British ships to import all nonsprohibited articles from wherever they might be found; the consequence of ,Which would have been that the cotton of America, the stigar of Cubs, or the coffee of Java might have bend glutting the ports along the English Channel. They • ceuld, not be . im ported in a foreign ship unless the goods were carried bark to the country whence they had been originally saipped, unless they were first carried to Europe from some other continent. Now, why was not this clause amended, instead of preCipitating ft total repeal, and why could lot goods be declared 'nationalized wherever they were found? Is it to be said that the question was made one of party? la. the haste which c,aracterised• this me mentous change to he_ excused on the ground that it, was made a Cebiar t measurt ? Is it to be said that the existence of a Ministry was the main cause foe the hasty Alteration of a system, a false step in effecting which !eight prove fatal to, the best interests of the empire.— (Loud cheers.) Whatever' was the motive, the repeal of e navigation-laws was carried, and carried with cir eumstaiseen of in{ xcusahle precipitancy.— (Renewed 'cheers.) How happens it that, during ,the period which has elapsed since this repeal, with exports and imports enormously increasing, with" trade unusually buoyant, with money abundant and credit easy, that our shipping, instead of rising, as it has risen before s from the depres sions which have visited it, is so tardy in its reeovery ? Because it has received a shock Which might havaproved fatal; because to save - tt - Whir Midistiia great interest was jeopardized; because Mr. Labouchere plunged !us into free trade without ftipulatinglor reciprocity, so that - before we could Make ourselves ready for the race to which wo:a-ere esipoe'ect, - Pureleu nuilypmg overstocks our ports, and freights are reduced so ruinously dew, that 20s. per ton was the last return from . Calcutta.—(Loud' cheering.) What have we gained from America for conceding to her the trade of our colonies.? Nothing. What have we gained from r Spain? Nothing. France has not met us—(Hear, hear)—Holland has not met Us—(Hear, hear)—Russia, Germany, Sweden, and other states have nothing to meet us with.—(Loud cheers.) Was it then right for a British Minister, I repeat, to take a step so momentous with plans so ill considered? -(Loud shouts of "No.") 11,ad he gone to America and said,—" We are a Free-trade country—we have adopted throUgh all our inter-roe the principles of com mercial freedom; it is your highest interest to follow our example.---(Hear,, hear.) By so doing we shall bo mutually benefited;, we have opened to you our colonies; we offer you now our coasting trade; we ask you in return to allow us to navigate our ships in the carrying trade to California."—(Cheers.) 'Had be then gone to Spain, and said, You, Spaniards, now trade in your vessels between England and Our colonies entirely unfettefed, and yet you will not permit a Bri tish vessel, loading British manufactures, to trade to Hevanniab, or any of your settlementse-e (Hear.) You charge a British vessel in the port of Ha vatinah double what you charge a vessel of Spain; you make Spanish goods arriving from Spain, under your national flags liable ainly to an ad valorem duty of 61 per cent ; while, if Spanish goods are carried from Spain in British vessels, the duty rises from 141 to 18i per cent. This is not fair to us—this is not politic in you. Remember your past glories. Recollect yeti once had a marine. Forget not the times of mari time chivalry, when a Columbus manned his vessels to go forth in search of a new world. You have been torn since by revolutions within; you have s suffered from want of credit, and -distrust abroad. Awake to your true interests. Take advantage of your great tional resources.; Cultivate the, principles of commer cial freedom. F,Alovv the example we have set you in the Free-train brotherhood of nations."—(Tremendous cheering.) Had he gone to Belgium and said, "We grant to your ships „the same privileges as our own; we admit your produce on the terms of the most favoured nations. Why, then, is white salt from England pro hibited by your tariff, and rock salt; ueless imported under your flag; and why is a duty of 15E. per ton on British ships still retained?" lied he gone to France, end said to the French Government, "Contrast your tariff with mita, arid say which of us has shown most solicitude for the commercial intercourse of our respec tive countries? Have we not opened up a new market for your flour, your brandies, your silks, your hats, your shawls, your gleves, your leather? And what have you done in return? You have not taken off your duties on coal, or iron bars, or chain*, or anchors, or pig iron, or linen threads, or needles, or pottery ware. If you will not deal liberally with us as we have dealt with you, look to your own interests. You are ambitious to establish manufneturem, then reduce the ditty of 4s. 9J. per ton you exact on English coals, and in stead of the 600,000 tons we now export, two million tons of coals will fired their way into your country."— (Protracted cheering.) Sir, h a d Mr. Labouehere th us acted—had he calmly and di s p ass i o nately, miedfal of the great interests at stake, p roper ly imbued with .a sense Of the danger arising f rom a forced or ill-con sidered legislation, ens red i n t o eegociation with fore i g n powers, and, by argument, by entrea ty, or, if neces nary, ,by inspiring them with a wholesome fear of pos sible and ulterior consequences, led:them to the adoption of the grand prifiCiples of commercial freedom, then would his conduct have been mere worthy of a British statesman—than would we not have been hurried, as it • were, in a moment, from a s y stem of li m ited free trade, with co-extensive repiprociry, into a condition o f abso lute free-trade, with limited reprocity.'(Pr olon g ed cheers, minded with cries o f " Bravo.") Sir, the de ed is done ; the die is cast—th e B r i t i s h shipowner is ( ea r, hear.) Lunched into competition w i t h t h e w hole world. (Hear, hear.) There is a d anger i n go ing back to a c ourse which has been once a b andone d . —H In the interval, which has el apse d , ne w relations of commercial property and enterpr i se ta k e p l ac e, and, like a relapse in the natural body,, ti e shock of a rertion may be attended with the most per i lous couse quences to the body politic --(Cheers.) Asd yet I must not be misund,erstneda I do not m ean to deny that in principle Mr. Lahoucher: , was right. I censure him, not tor the end at which he nine ±, but fur the speed with which he approached it—(hear, hear.) What, then, is to b e done? Ge hack? No; it is too late! GO forward? Yet! But methinks I hear some of you say, How can we go forward? We are placed at our starting-post in this ocean race, burdened and over-weighted. You d must. at least, relieve us of every impost that pressestoo o heavily upon us." Sir, I feel the strength of thatAerglis c' teent. The chipping interest of. this country has deep al and many causes of complaint—(H ear ) —and I know not whether more emphati ca ll y to con d emn the haste which marked the repeal, or th e i n j ust i ce w hich stopped 11 short of the removal of these burdens.—(Cheers) The •at first burden which must be removed are the duties ch upon tinnier. I think no tax whatever ought to be im- to posed upon the raw material of our shipping. When - e fts Mr. Huskisson proposvd t o grant to the builder o f s hi ps 'fie in this country a drawback equ a l t o ' the full amount of be any duty that had been paid upon the materials used in pi their construction and equipment, he proposed a wise and yr solid measure—(Hear, hear)—andl must say it was at little to the credit of the shipown ers w h o f orme d the de- fi, putation to Mr. Huskisson of that day, that they re- as fused his offer, dreading lest the Government, by adopt- s ing Mr. Iluskiason's suggestion, should _give a fresh Stimulus to shipbuilding at home; and raise up new com petitors, who would be able to rival them in every branch of commercee--(flear, *hear.) The maintenance . of a timber duty on the part of H e r Majesty's late Government wee a perfect absurdity--(Loud cheers.) Their professed aim was to admit the raw material duty free, especially that which creates labour in its manufactured state, and to tax articles of manufac ture imported from other countries, but here they taxed the foreign raw material. while they admitted the same material, when manufactured into a ship,' duty free. — (Hear, hear.) Another burden on shipping is the light dues. Foremost among these aro the light dues, im posed by the Trinity Rouse at Deptford S t r on d, amount ing now to about 400,0001. a year.—(Hear, hear.) ;That is a large sum, and is felt as se, sore grieva nce by the shipping interest of, this country.—(Hear.) Indeed, the Trinity House system, in all its details, is an . enormous anomaly—(Hear, hear)—and ill-suited to the temper and advancing spirit of these • times.—(Cheers.) Bodies like these Trinity House Corporations, really self elected, practically irrespOnsible, with all their cumbrous appendages, and their multitudinous parasites, are un suited to an industrious and economical ege, and only form relics of the legislation of an unenlightened anti quity.—(Renewed cheering.) To give one small instance, out of a multitude, of the enormous injustice of this system—The Heligoland Light cost the Government 2501. a year for' maintaining it, and the Commer cial marine 5801. a year—(Hear, hear)—previously to 1846, when it was taken by .the Trinity House, and the nation relieved front further payment of it; but in 1845 the Commercial marine was m ade to pay 1 , 8901 . for its maintenance, while its actual cost was only 5291. country Bh bamen'el Now, why s h ou ld t h e exclusively tax e d f or t h e u iphDpec'rr s t why are they so taxed , since the re p eal of the navi g ati on la w s has thr o wn open the benefit of these lights to th e rest of the (Cheers, Che' 'on'cort ands the se s i e thise cries og f ht ‘ s ' .—( Hear.)

I remember a smile pass ing over the features of the veneyeble judge, who has lately retired from that bench, when I read, from the governing charter of ' Lanes II , the recital of the grounds upon which ehat Monarch bestowed the grant— " Whereas, there have been divers and many incursions of-the river Tyne upon the banks of the same, and that in addition repairs are required for the d'rinity [louse, at Newcastle, therefore, out of our mere motion," &c., ee, And so Suederland, withoilt getting a single benefit in return, has been called upon to pay, from year to year, a sum amounting to some 1,2001. or 1,500/. and this to enable certain gentlemen of Newcastle to pamper their appetites and ..toast away the money you have paid to the health of - the Elder Brethren, and the good old times of charter and monopoly.—(Laughter and loud cheers.) Then there are the Dover and Ramsgate passing tolls.—(Cries of " Hear e hear.") Why the amount levied upon the shipping and commerce of the country, in support of these hatband in the year 1849, amounted to 43,297/. 9s. 30., for which the ship ping.and trade of the country received uo eqUiealent whatever.—(Cries of " Shame.") . Sunderland pays of this'l,s79l Bs. 2d.--(Hear.) A still moic flagrant act of injustice is to be found in the exaction's of the' Russia Company, who have power, under letters patent oe-Wil ham and Mary, to tax Russian produce ,ileported into this country; this they do to the extent of more than ;3,0004, exclusive of sums levied on the British shipping at Russian ports. No w, rehat equivalehe do the parties taxed get for thiteiseppete: „On glancing over an account of their expenditure, I find the following items:—Pre sent of plate to the governor, worth 42/. lOse'--(Laugh ter)—Again,• grant for expenses of organ, psalm-books, &c., for the church at Cronstadt, 2051. 4s, 31—(Hear, hear.) Surely this is a burthen which seught to be in vestigated, taken off, and. removed. There is another evil of great magnitude, which consists in' the tax col lected by the Corporation of London, called City-dues; these amounted „last year to 192,470. 125., and of this large sum 184,460/. 13s. was levied on coals from the counties of Ditrham and Northumberland alone.— (flerir, Ileatee'' Thiele there are the -Cinque ' Ports and heir dependencies; .with his.

Then there is thh systemof foreign con sulage, which must be substantially altered, and rendered more suitable to theeadtabeing and economic spirit of the age. Government salvage is an unjustifiable charge. tf a ship of war throw a line or a hawser to a mer chant ship; it may be made the grOund 'of an bier oitant claim for salvage, and, if -resisted, 'the trader is thrown into .the ,Court of Admiralty. ,But besides this, it has numerous other vexations attending it. Then thee() are the Admiralty Courts, which I would tote for abolishing altogether.—(Cheers.) - 'I would ' let them, and the Chancery Courts, with , all their bar harisnie, and, quirks and quiddities, with all their bills «ind answers, petitions and affidavits, be shovelled by my Lord Brougham Into one huge - mud-cart, and along with the whole body oft doctors and prooters,.eqtrity draftsmen, and all snob excrescences, be _emptied .into the gulf e of oblivion for ever! -.-(Roars of, laughter, fol Ipwed * - '6, bUrst.okapplsiuse.)

I do not say that when even - all this is attained, there will net be'causes for anxiety; but I do say, if you do suc ceed, thus far, there will be ground for hope.—(Hear, b l ear.) Why should you, with a fair field and no, fa vour, fear_ the consequences of a rivalry iu, ehipbuilding with any other countries of the world'?—(Cheers ) With the 'United States?--or Russia?—Sweden, Nor way, Denmark, or Prussia 2—France, HollandeGermany, or Belgium?. ( Tale,. for a moment , the materials .used in American shipbuilding. Their timber doe! eot grow at the `writer's edge; they 'have - to send for it as well rus we; to Caroline; Florida, or Maryland, and. what advantage has New York, Boston, or Baltimore, bay° the difference of freight between the timber-growing states . and. the _northern ports, and the same states and England ? Does ,not the Mneridan import hiS iron from England, with a freight of 10s. per ton, and a duty to be superadded of 30 per cent od valorem? Do not the chain cables which pay 35 per cent duty,_and the sheet copper, go from England ? Is not the hemp got from Russia. and are not their 'sales purchased here, while canvas pays 10 per eetit.,ad valorem, and is fully 10 per cent. dearer. Then the wages are higher, and the generaloost of navigation greater. Finally, the Americans have no ahips that • would stand A 1 twelve years in this country. Look then to the build of ships in Russia. In Finland a fir ship.may cost but 81. 104.. per ton against 201. per ton for a first-class British ship, but the first will not stand more than four years on the register, whereas the second stands twelve years, and in some cases sixteen years, without any expense whatever. Then there is the cost of the Hamburgh build, in which there is no advantage whatever over this country. The Islamburgh• vessel, frees 200 to 500 tons, iron -fastened, an coppered, costs 114 per ton, but she stands 'seven years - A 1, and no more, while the.

Why do we hear disparaging comparisons drawn between the captains and crews of our own vessels and those of America and other countries? Gentlemen, you must begin to elevate the condition of your officers and your mariners, not by Acts of Parliament, but by urging upon them the importance of temperance, by stimu'a'ing them in the pursuit of knowledge, by seeking to infuse into them higher aspirations, by payi!,g them, it need be, a higher rate of wages, which in the end will be the surest economy, and so' press forward to that glorious consummation when not alone shall your ships be regis tered as A 1 at Lloyds, but thecrews who mesa them shall be' classed A 1 in every port in the worldl—(Tremen dons cheering.)

The interior d h • 1 with a number of s, an • eying alternately con centained a series of diaphragms of wrought iron, pierced surfaces . . They were suspended by vex and conaav°a.t given stances apart, in such a man nerrtoodt contact with the heated exterior, or as not lei When any water was admitted through the feed pipe it. fell upon the upper (convex) which had a tendency to spread it.to the periphery, disc, 'largest quantity falling through the perforation in ishhreelleoif"tPlie bo . . ; tie shape of globules; the second diaphragm being concave, tended to direct the fluid from the circum ference to the centre, and so on, until if any fluid reached the bottom of the cylinder, it mingled with a thin film of water, in a high state of ebullition, that being the hottest part of the boiler. It appeared, how ever, that in its transit through these diaphragms, the water was so divided, that expaing a very large sur face to the caloric, it was transformed into steam with great rapidity, and with great economy of fuel. The boiler described had been worked for a long time at Paris with great success, giving motion to a steam-engine of two horses' power. The consumption of coal was stated .to ho very small, 7891bs of water having been converted intb'eteam by 182ibs of coal in nine hours, under a pressure of ten atmospheres. The chemical part of the question was carefully ex amined, and it was shewn, that at that temperature the iron was exactly in the best condition to bear strain. The practical application on a large scale was sub witted to the engineers, the author having only proposed the system for mall boilers and tinder circumstances of wanting to obtain a motive power in situations of re stricted space, and where first cost was a great object.
