Yesterday a series of experiments,
themselves, and in their result likely
highest importance, was commenced in, the
Palace gardens, with a view to test and asce.
by actual competition which is the best—descrir
tion of steam fire-engine out of the many different
machines of the kind now made. There is no
doubt but that attention. • was first directed to
the importance of this question by
the great
fire among the Wherved at London-bridge, when
the one or two steam fire-crigince then used
so completely eclipsed and outdid all that was
e fleeted by the hand engines as to literally leave
no room for comparison between the two. On
that Fame disastrous nceasion also the general pub-
lic became informed of a fact which had until then
been known only to the Fire Brigade themselves
—the niter inadequacy of our means to cheek or
properly deal with any extensive conflagration.
It was due to the dead stillness of that sum-
mer night, and not to the engines of the
fire brigade, steam or hand, that the south
side of London was not destroyed, and insurance
companies saw for the first time that there really
i competitors the

and
will be continued during
today and most probably
to-morrow also. These trials
are conducted under
the immediate superintendence of a committee of
noblemen and gentlemen, having the
Duke of
Sutherland for chairman, Capt. Shaw
as hog. secre-
tary, and including among its members the most
eminent mechanical engineers in the kingdom.
The engines produced for trial are divided into
two classes—the small class, consisting of those not
exceeding 30 cwt., .and ..-the large ekes, of those
exceeding 30 cwt. and not exceeding 60 cwt. ; those
weights not including coal, water, hose, or other
gear. The premiums will be £250 for the best
engine, and £lOO for .the second-best in each class.
The chief points to which the committee direct their
attention, in addition to the consideration of cost
and weight, are those which relate to the general
efficiency of the machines as fire-engines, combin-
ing, among other points of excellence, rapility in
raising and generating steam, facility of drawing
water, the large volume thrown, the distance to
which it can be projected with the least amount
of loss, and simplicity, accessibility, and durability

Two Hundred Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective

of parts.
In order to carry out these trials with perfect
uniformity and fairness, the committee provide the
fuel (Welsh coal), and the pipes for the hose—all of
one pattern. They have also provided a strong rail
for a rest, to which the branches may be attached
during the trial, though each competitor is at liberty
to lash a spar to his branch, or to use any other con-
trivance which may assist in giving a correct deli-
very to the water, the desire being, of course, to
apply the tests as much as possible to the engine
and as little as possible to the men.
One of the principal objects to be ascertained
being to define the quantity of water which each
can project through the atmosphere to certain
heights and distances, the committee have prepared
a set of water-targets and tanks, arranged in such a
manner that the water can be measured after deli-
very. These targets consist of canvass hoods with
circular openings of six feet in diameter, having at-
tached to each a tail or shoot, through which the
water is conducted into a gauged tank standing be-
low, from which the quantity delivered within the
opening of the target can be read off by means of a
graduated index.
A great many engines of different kinds have
been entered for this trial, Messrs. Shand and
Mason and Mr. Merryweather being the principal
English competitors, as against the American ma-
chines, of which two will compete during these
trials. To the chief of these, the Manhattan, an
accident occurred on Tuesday, by which it has
been partially disabled, and is not likely to
be fit for work before this day. In its place,
however, another American engine entered the
lists, and worked better than any American fire-
engine we have ever seen, for it must be under-
stood that the American steam fire-engines ere as
much behind the eteam fire-engines of other coun-
tries as the most pretentious political association
called the New York Fire Brigade is behind any
other fire brigade in Europe in real usefulness. The
amateurs who constitute the fire brigade of the Em-
pire City are wonderfully organised for politica.
demonstrations, torch-light processions, and the like,
but fail on an important point, being rather worse
than useless at a fire ; and the New York Fire Bri-
gade is, if possible, badly imitated in these respects
in all the Northern cities except Boston. The mus-
ter of the fire engines and the firemen, in various
costumes, near the lower basin of the fountains was a
very pretty and animated sight, and as it drew a
large concourse of visitors the aspect which these ex-
quisite gardens wore throughout the day was as
brilliant and beautiful as can well be conceived.

and be in fall work, accomplishing this
task in within eight minutes, the others taking
nearly ten. They were the first to throw through
their target their allotted quota of a thousand gal-
lons of water, and the distance to which they pro-
jected their massive column of water vertically into
the air as clearly overtopped the rather feathery
shoots of their antagonists. The smoothness and
quietness, too, with which their engine worked was
remarkable, as, indeed, was also that of Mr. Merry-
weather's; whereas the American engine was, or
seemed to be, tearing itself to pieces, and vibrated
in such a manner and exhibited such signs of strain-
ing, that it appeared evident it could never be relied
on to work for any time without breaking down, as
it was expected to do every moment yesterday. If
it survives the much more difficult trials to be
gone through to-day it will be contrary to the anti-
cipations of almost every engineer on the ground,,

IRISH CONVICTS,—The Director of Convict Pri-
sons in Ireland has to report that the convictions
rose from 368 in 1861 to 592 in 1862. He attributes this
increase in the numbers sentenced to penal servitude to the
prevalence of distress in many parts of the country. The
numbers confined in the country prisons also increased from
2,916 on the Ist of January, 1862, to 8,055 on the Ist of
January, 1863, and the number of paupers receiving relief
from 59,584 to 65,847. As might be expected, therefore,
the reconvictions also show a considerable increase,
of
soren
siderable as in that single year to raise the percentag
relapses among the whole number of convicts discharged
since the beginning of 1856 (the percentage either re-
sentence or having their licences revoked) from 9.9 at the
end of 1861 to 12.44 at the end of 1862. The lecturer at
Smithfield Intermediate Prison reports that the difficulty of
inducing employers of character and position to employ
the convicts on their discharge can only be known to those
who have to contend with it. He says the task is humili-
ating in the extreme.
