STEAM BOATS.

GEORGE DODD, called in and•examined.

Where. is your residence ?—i -reside at No. 8,
Oxford-street.

What is your profession ?—Civil engineer.
Are you .a proprietor of any steam-boats
.have five udder my direction.
Where are those steam-boats employed?—Two
hetween ,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
mouths, 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
safell, 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-
tablv. <<t supporting ; nit my en,4l9es.,are-
'olre engines,, and the w upon the safety
_valves._ is r.ettita=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 costs 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 1,2007.,
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
of the height 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 was 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
Whesh 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.

FIRP. AT TIFFINGToti-frousx.—An examination
took place before the Magistrates at iliourn,. on
Saturday last, of a young man, suSpeCted of hav-
ing Caused the above,fire. He was .a-iiultor of one
of the housemaids, and a carpenter by trade. We
understand that he has confessed the, crime. Af-
ter taking leave of the young woman, when the
family retired he returned to the house, got into
the kitchen through a window, and finding some
tire in Or grate, scattered it in the drawers of the
largelitchen table, and threw some into the house-
keeper's room : he then retired ; and but for the
providential illness of the Earl of LINDSAY, about
half an hour afterwards, the house and its inmates
would soots have been destroyed.-03(gion Paper.)

LONDON, _
FRIDJY, JULY 18, 1317.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday and Tuesd•ty last. The former announce,
at length, the accouchement of the Duchess de
Beam but attended by a considerable disap-
pointment, the child being a Princess instead of
a Prince. Her Royal Highness was delivered on
Sunday morning last, soon after eleven o'zlock,
and the new-born Princess was, by order of his
MAJEsTY, immediately named L.)UISI3-hAVELLE
d'ARTOIS, Mademoiselle. Ti►e Bulletins pub-
lished in Tuesday's Monileur state the Duchess
de DERRY to be tranquil and free from fever, and
the Gazette de &once, in its postscript of Tuesday
morning, says, the state of health of her Royal
Highness dues not give rise to the slightest dis-
quietude, but the Royal infant it appears has al-
ready departed; she lived little more than thirty
hours, having expired on Monday evening, be-
tween eight and nine o'clock. Thus unfortunately
.
have terminated all the brilliant hopes ant exPec-
tarrons anticipated from this event. The follow-
ing are extracts from these J oornals

ruins. By the zeal and activity of the garrison,
however, the fla►nes were extinguished without
further mischief.

the British Government since the Peace is or
greater importance to you that) the 1011111 proposed

articles so much lower than formerly, arid thereby
extinguish the last Elope of American mantstac4
tares. The plan wilt enable them in the end, and
at the same time support your own poop in idle-;
tress. Yes, look at the increase of your paupers);
your poor taxes, since the Peace, and the decay
of your t»anufactories. The labour which re-
gaited 25 to 30 shillings wages in England heforte
the Peace,. is now pet formed from 7 to 10 shillings.
Goods will be low in proportion.
