our own were not quite as serviceable as remedial
agents. Of Harrogate which seems to be
a great favourite with the Doctor, he tells
us that "it remains a village to this day,

though upwards of two hundred and seventy
years have elapsed since the first mineral water
was tapped on its bleak heath. Its springs are
unsophisticated, because the place itself remains
as it was. You dip your cup. into the fountain-
head, and get your strong waters. There is no
shuffling, and the mind is convinced at once. Har-
rogate is, in fact, a true and genuine Spa. Its situa-
tion is delightful. For elevation, above the Irish
and German oceans, midway between which it is
placed; for position, at about equal distances
from the capitals of the United Kingdom and
for geological formation, favourable to human
life—Harrogate stands almost pre-eminent. That
such a place must enjoy a salubrious air it is hardly
necessary for me to add. The extensive heaths
which, with immense tracts of finely-cultivated
country, surround this favoured spot, allow full
play to the sweeping breezes, and render the air
remarkably pure and bracing." Of Scarbo-
rough, its environs, and its waters, our au-
thor speaks in equal terms of praise, and
expressly assures us that, " after a course of
the Harrogate waters, the daily use of the
south spring water of Scarborough would form
the most appropriate and beneficial appendix
to the treatment of a vast number of disorders."
We take for granted that in the next volume
Dr. Granville will furnish us with an account of
the more fashionable western and southern Spas
of England, as his present volume is exclusively
devoted to descriptions of the northern ones.

thing more than suspicion in the minds ofreaders '
that facts are often twisted to suit his own dis-
torted views. The following paragraph is a spe-
cimen :—" Unadopted by the Foreign-office, un-
paid by the country, unrejected by any constitu-
ency whatever, I have not thought it right to
practice literary larceny on a large scale, as some
have done, or appropriating the language, senti-
timents, and opinions of others, to call it a Re-
port, and fawningly foist it on the tables of Par-
liament." He is wofully out of his reckoning at
times, too, in speaking, of the English and
French navies. On visiting a rope-walk at
Cherbourg, he heard some 500 men and boys
singing martial airs to the beat of drum, a cir-
cumstance which made as awful an impression
on his mind, as if the " infernal machine"
of the Times had been prepared to blow
all our wooden walls at . once to destruc-
tion. But we must describe his dismal
foreboding in his own words :—"AsI paced down
these noble covered allies (alleys) and saw the
glistening eye, and heard the martial song and
the loud beat of the drum,. I caught a portion of
that enthusiasm which is in some sense cominu-

nicable and electric, and I said to myself, in
going out in a torrent of rain," Would to heaven
that we had some one to take care of the navy of
Old England." And while these lugubrious
words were going through the press, the English
fleet after successes on the Syrian coast, un-
paralleled even in the days of Blake or Nelson,
were safely moored in Marmorice Bay, a French
fleet was exposed without an object to a tempest
in the Mediterranean, and utterly dispersed with
frightful loss oflife and property ! The writer seems
to have forgotten that there are such animals as
British sailors in existence ; and we would advise
him, therefore, to take -a cruize with Commodore
Napier, to compare the cheer of the gallant crew
of the Powerful with the chaunting of the Cher-
bourg rope-makers; or, if he will, what is more
terrible before battle, " cet affreux silence des
Anglais." Whatever he may know of French
ports or French sailors, he evidently knows little
or nothing about the energy, the resources, and
the enterprise of the people of this country or
the state of our navy; and • before his book
reaches a second edition, we would advise him to

pay some attention to these subjects, and place
them in contrast with the exaggerated statements
in his letters.

HEATING BUILDINGS WITH

HOT WATER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Being interested in an extensive manufactory
hostel by the above means, my attention was naturally
roused by the alarming announcement above in your paper
of the 15th instant. After detailing many dangerous con-
sequences from its use, your Correspondent asks,
•' How, if at all, can the danger be averted, and this
cheap and convenient mode of beating buildings by means
of water, be practised without risk ?"
This question I will ende ivaur to answer by explaining
the plan adopted in our own manufactory. The building
consists of four floors or stories; upon the lower floor is
erected a wrought-iron boiler, of an elongated form; on
the upper floor is a cistern of a similar form, but of much
smaller dimensions, avid open at the top. A cast.iron pipe
four inches in diameter is connected to the top of the
bciler by a flancb, and proceeding upwards, passes round
the lofts required to be heated, and terminates at the
cistern above-mentioned, to one end of which it is united
in the same manner as at its commencement from the
boiler. At the opposite end of the cistern begins another
pipe of the same dimensions, which descends to the boiler,
and, passing through the top of the boiler, goes to within
a few inches of the bottom. The first from the top of
the boiler to one end of the cistern is the ascending pipe ;
the latter from the opposite end of the cistern through
the top and nearly to the bottom of the boiler, the descend-
ing pipe. The apparatus is filed with water supplied by
a torte-pump, to the open cistern at the top, and the ope-
ration is at once simple, safe, and effective; simple, be-
cause natural, as thus : Water, being composed of parti-
cles or atoms whose affinity for each other is readily dis-
turbed by beat, the lowest portion, at the bottom of the
boiler, being nearest the fire, is the first affected, and the,
columnal pressure cf the water in the descending pipe
being greater than that in the ascending, the whole is set
in motion passing through the cistern at the top down one
pipe through the boiler and up the other pipe, until the
whole body of water is heated to one uniform degree,
never reaching the boiling point, consequently producing
no steam. _ _

For safety, no plan for diffusing heat can be equal to
this, as no danger can arise from materials, however com-
bustible, being placed in close contact with the pipes. Of
its efficacy we have had ample proof in the experience of
ten years, a temperature higher than required for the pur-
poses of any manufactory being easily produced and kept
up without heating the water to the boiling point.
So far I presume, Mr. Editor, your Correspondent's
inquiry has been satisfactorily met. Looking fur a mo-
ment to the case which has proved so disastrous, it seems
very clear, from the statement of your Correspondent,-
that the water has been heated far beyond boiling point.
We are all aware that at this point water evaporates, or
flies off into steam ; in other words, the affinity of the par-
ticles or atoms of which water i 3 composed, is at this de.
give of heat destroyed, and, separating from each other,
become an expansive power of more or less extent, ac-
cording to the degree of heat ; but if the boiler and pipes
'are so filled that no space or vacuum exiats for the forma-
tiittf-of-- steam, then, as the experiments of Perkins,
already alluded to, have shown, it can be heated to any de•
gree of heat that the metal which confines it will sustain
without fusion. _

The remedy, therefore, proposed by your Correspon-
dent, of employing a metal for the pipes that would melt
at a heat short of what would ignite wood or other com-
bustible materials, is, I submit, providing for a danger
that ought not to exist.
If it has been the practice to work the apparatus in
question at a higher temperature than boiling water, and
an interval of disuse has occurred during the late severe
frosts, the contents of the pipes most remote from the
fire have no doubt become solid ice, and by obstructing
the flow of water occasioned an excess of heat near the
boiler so as to cause the mischief which has happened.
I remain respectfully, Sir, Your's, &c.,

A NEW NOVELIST.—We have reason to be-

modern literature. If %Int we hear of the forthcoming
novel entitled " The Engagement " be true, we have had
nothing since " Trem3ine" and " Pejham" that has beet,
