Are you .a proprietor of any steam-boats .have five udder my direction. Where are those steam-boats employed?—Two h e tween ,London - and: _Richmond; one between London and Gravesend ; and two between Lon don and Margate. How long - have they, or any of them, been in use ?HrlYe Thames has been in use three years.. • 'Where does thatgO ?—Froni London to Mar gate; the Majestic has been in use about twelve m ouths, that goes to and from Margate ; the Richmond, from London to Richmond, has been in use about fifteen months, snit the othei two are new vessels ; all these vessels • lie' up in the winter. The Thames has not run from London to Margate during the whole three years ;, she has run 'from Landon to Margate two years, and 'was twelve months in Scotland before I had her. I finished the Thames Margate steam-yacht at Port Glasgow, in Scotland, and .navigated her from Scotland to Dublin, and encountered a consider able-deal of bad weather, and found her 'most perfectly sate. J\io material 'accident . kappepe.d to the engine which worked • during the whole voyage J . from Duiilin I brought her round the Land's. End, Cornwall; into the port of - London. , . Are. All the - stcatwhoitts - that pu qIOVV "hive, or that you 'hare had, used with condensing :en gines ?—They are. Has any accident happened during the course of their being used l'- 7 -The boilers of , two have been injured* by the imprudence of the engine workers ; but no accident of any description could or has occurred to t►e passengers. What was the nature of the accidents that..hap petted to those boilers ?---Xlie accident was the partial coining down of the boilers over the.fur nace mouth, being pressed down by the power of the steam, in consequence of the engine worJers not sufficiently feeding the boilers, and covering the flues with water. What are all your boilers Made of ;--They. are made of sheet wrought iron, t ivetted together. Are they cylindrical .—They are not ; they are flat Sided, With fiat roots, and the ot,he . q have dome roofs; there is at least 1,500 rived in the larger ones ; and I consider every rivet to be in degree a. safety valve, as in all instances, ,of nursing or tettring.of this. description 'of boilers the rivets first give way, and always give sutlicit.nt warning. How many safety valves have you to your .I)4ilcm?-One to each. Is that safety yalyeeccessible'to the engineer directing the engine ?-1t is in all of them except ing the Richmond, and there it is under lock and key the safety valve on 'board of the Riehmond is -not alever safety valve, but they are simple eeightB resting on the safety valve, the whole of is enclosed Within a box and locked up, so titat no- discretionary power iaJeft to tht-stuan who works the engine; 1 carry the key of in general Do not you think in future it would beadvis able, in order for the greater safety of passengers, that boihrs should be iirovided with two safety. valves,. one not accessible to the engineer direct in the engiue, and another accessible to him fthihk that to all . boilfrs there should be two s a f e l l , valves; the one which would be 'accessible 'to the engine worker slicirilti be loaded with the minimum ot the pressure that the chief engineer saw fit that the boiler should sustain ; and that the•one which would be inaccessible and locked be Waded . equal to the ultimatum that he,would,- under• any citcumstances, permit the boiler to . snpport. iii a 'lig% prasure . engi4, what is your opinion of.rhe weight .that •ought to be placed upon the safety valve of its boiler - ?—That in a great rnea . is .cohjeCtpral ; brit for - my .Own ractiee, .I, certainly should no .allow-the safety valves to be With more than half the weight which}, hAo previously tried acid itidnd tb - e . huller Oti sea- t ablv. <<t supporting ; nit my en,4l9es.,are 'olre engines, , and the w upon the safety _ va lv es ._ is r . e t t ita=2 • ':,,ceetl six pounds upon the inch. ltiltar, is the reason-that you hare adopted, in your steam boats, the construetinn 'of . boilvri with 'fiat sides and ends i—Because that figure gives :lite greatest cubical content in the smallest space . , and compactness of the machinery and the boiler -is a desirable object in a steam boat. Is it your opinion .that such boilers, - properly .constructed, and of sufficient thickness in the plates of wrought iron, may he safely, used on hoard steam boats having the low pressure en gines?-Most - decidedly . so ; I consider cacti of my boilers capable of sustaining. : pressure of liti'i•eu 'pounds upon the inch, but A II evrt milk them to noire than. six pounds upon the . inch. Are those boilers so constructed, that the water, entirely covers . the tube iit which the fire is' made I —ln the Richmond, the, fire is entirely surround ed by the water ; it is the case also in the Alaies-. tic ; but in the Thames and its the new boat to Richmond, and the new .boat to Gravesend, they, are tvhat we call open turriace mouths : under the furnace mmith I place an ash hole of cast iron, bedded in clay, and upon fire-bricks. ,Does the water in ,the boilers 'of this latter con struction, come to the upper surface of every por tibir of That iron, the under•surlace of which is ex posed to the fire?--It does. If you ase,acquainted with any accidents which' have happened to steam engines,' not under yonr own direction, be pleased to mention what they were and how they happened ?-1 recollect the boiler of the Caledouia.Lnudou and Margates team packet bursting at sea,, by the forcing.out of three of the rivets over the furnace mouth, which eN tinguislieil the tire, but it was not ',productive of any injurious consequences to any of the persons on board; and the Cork and ,Cove,packet boat in Ireland, with 250 officerS and soldiers on board, burst her boiler when lying alongside of the trans .port Oat was receiving the troops; the bursting made a.fissure or opening of nine inches.hy eigh teen inches, but the . steam which escarttil did no injury either to the _persons on board dr to the vessel, nor do I think, under , any circumstances of the bursting, if a wrought _ iron boiler at the low pressure, that is, the steam , not being moreAran ten or fifteen pounds to the, inch, that the steam, which might ,be suddenly let looSe or disengaged„would have power sufficient to raise the deck of the vessel, or to injure the parties on board. Supposing an engine upon the high pressure principle to have its boiler made of wrought iron, :with the furnace passing through water through ,out it 4 whole length,. and the boiler to be pro .vide4 with safety valves properly adjusted., so as to prevent the steam being raised to more than half ot.that pressure ,which the boiler is calculated to sustain, should you then have any apprehen sion of ill effects arising from the use of such an -engine ?—Certainly, I should still consider them hazardous and liable to very. fatal consequences ; for all boilers deteriorate by work, by time, and by oxydation, ~and what might be : proof at t period, at a future period. tie boiler might be in capable of su4aining. Besidei, all boilers are liable to casualties, and case, of any accident which m suddenly let loose or disengage,thet steam of a high pressure boiler, the . iteam itself would have sufficient expansive force and impetus to destroy any vessel. I have known instances, -as I have stated before, of low pressure enginett bursting, where they have done no injury ; but I cannot conceive it poSsihle that steam of 10 or 20 times greater force could be let loose into: the engine room Without creating mischief. What is the average price of steam boats calcu lated to convey passengers ? The Richmond steam yacht cost s in the first ius!ance, includ ing, the engine, 1,8001. the engine jibed' cost about 1,0001.: the Majestic cost about 2,00. , Y„; and the engine about 2,001)1. more ; the That cost 2,5001. including the engine, at about 1,200 7 ., the new vessel, that I built to go to Riehltiolld, the innt ttrul joiner' work cost 7501. and an en gine of fourteen sir.trse power and appiratitS, cost 1,1 , 711; the new Gravesend steam yacht, the built only , has cost 7501. and the engine 1,3701.; but there will be various other expellees before these vessels are finished. Can you tell What is the expence of the boiler alone ?—l•hav* just got a new boiler from Messrs. Jessop's, of Butrerley, for . the Thames yacht, and I pay for the boiler 2151. What additional expence do you apprehend 18 incurred in a boiler of these dimensions•by it of wrought iron, beyond wiliit it would cost if made of cast metal ?—Never having had aily cast iron boilers, 1. do not feel myself cometent to give a satisfactory answer. What additional expence would be incurrej by the addition of an. additional safety. valve ?,---Trat woldd depend ,upon the dimensions of the safety valve, but in general the additional expeitce wbuld be under 41. You mean tl►at each safety valve costs about that sum ?—The most costly of them cost about that sum. Did you ever apply'a mercurial tube as a'safety ,valve ?—Never; I have to each of the boilers a mercurial barometer, that operates as an indic - ator o f t h e h e i g h t and pressure or the steam. Whereabouts is the expence'nf • that liarOme• te.r do not recollect, but certainly not more than 21. Did you see the Norwich. steam packet which exploded I—l have beep on board her, and per. fount(' a voyage ,with her'; I went down with .a of purchasing it; 1 went down for that pur pose twice. . What was your reason for not purchasing it ?•-• Be•ause it w a s a Iii4;11 pressure engine, and ifahlo to.the accident which has since occurred: Was that your sole reason I—Yes ; Iwent'a 'second tinge with a party of German gentlemen frotniiremeri,. who-were anxious to make an•itti• anediate purchase 'of.' a steam vessel ; and they also declined ta•purcitase.that or, any of the.boats upon the rivelyilye;s:ofely- because they had high pressure veam.engines on board. Did. von exathine the boiler which exploded Whe s h y.ou were po ho.ard'the vessel at Norwich : 1 1 did. What opinion did you - form. respecting that _boiler ?—.lthelught, that it was 'injudiciously cow,- posta,• Hs tiound that the barrel or cylinder of - the holler . was Of Wrought iron rivetted ; Of that part - I _approved ; :Ound that one of the ends was.a flat plate of cast iron, and two Metals under the same degree of heat have different degress of expansion, I thoui;;;t it by no .means a perfect and secure boiler. Had, you tiny opportunity of observing the boiler, •so as to form a judgment wilither the cast troll end was of sufficient strength to' resit the pressure .of the steam .—I had no such' ()piton. tonity. Had yon any opportunityof observing when you w.ei e on board, whether the steam was pro. perly regulatedl—Yes; I found that the safety valve was pressed down by a lever, and when I first went on bOard, the .steam was .so high as to require the weight near the extreme end of the lever. - My opinion respecting, the Insecurity at high pressure engines is not fonned in consequence of the late accident, for on the 3d of March last, having occasion to write to a Mr. Rawlinson, who . had applied to me .to construct a steam. packet for his friends, 1 concluded my letter with these words t—" Is it intended to have a low or a high p . resitire engine ? if the latter, I should decline. having any concern in the business, as they are attended with danger 'in any . situation, .but especially 'so in• a steam packet, where the lives of all on bciard would be at the.mercy of the sobriety and attention of the engine ;Worker." You mean of course to say, that they 'tN:otild be so it no precautions other than those which have bith - erto been in use were adopted to pi..erent it ? Certainly, I allude to' high pressure engines, av they have been hitherto usually arranged. T() be continued.] FIRP.
