unlike Mr. Sheridan, he left every department unpaid and
unsatisfied, the angry tradesmen used to besiege his door,
vowing that though they bad been frequently raid off with
words, Mil time they would not depart without their
money. Mr. Barry would them desire to see them. A
single claimant was admitted at a time. After a conference
of some duration he returned with a pleased and satisfied
countenance to the anxious and expectant crowd of creditors
below. Judging by the reception their companion met what
was likely to he their own eltance, he was eagerly interro-
asted by the gaping crowd. " Well, you have seen Mr.,
Barry.? '—" Yea.'—" You have got your money ?"
" No.' —" A part of it ?"—" Not one shilling.—But Mr.,
Barry spoke to me so kindly—seemed so distressed to keep
me walting-7promised me so
./eit/trally that the next time
called the money should be forthcoming—that he has, I
know not how, got the better of my anger, and I could not
find in my heart to press a gentleman any further."—Me-
moire (y. Mrs. Sheridan.

shortly after the latter left Algoa Bay, and regularly at-
tacked. The Captain of the Virgin, however, Mused to
submit until several of his crew were killed. The Dar*-

lingered until nature, quite exhausted, compelled her to re-

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

THE OgOMR Me FOCRTI7 STEAM PACICET:

Coax, Arett. 6, lOU.
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 vessel,
' 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., there 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 they tot high pressure or condensing engines ?—Far con-
densing engines.
What part of the boiler gave way I—Thu upper part, along the
angle.irnn. The angic.irtia is the strongest part.
How long is the rind?-{ By the man selgthcl). About two feet.
I can put my hand threegh the place.
Bow many safety-valets are there to each boiler ?—One.
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. They only prove high
pressure boilers. ever knew a condosingetigtnea boiler. proved.
tan you looms( for the angle. i giving way ?—There had
been a flaw In it before, which had repaired.
bel
Did yew suppose that part to weaker than any mbar ?
Liners WU a idikage divenvered in boder on the way down the
mot river, which they determined 10 repair at Cork.
Was there any detention during the passage on account of the
engines ?—None.
1)o you think it right to tee the engine on Ow portage back to
Bristol ?—Yes ; now it is mended, ft win be as strong as at tint.
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. The allearti power of the engines is forty-five
horses each. Ido not know the Ilianseters of the cylinders.
