FORGERY ON Tim PADDINGTON SAVINGS Barlg.',
Yesterday a respectably dressed woman, named I lizabeg"
Mitchell, was charged with having been concerned, with a
not in custody, in the forgery of the name of her busboy'
Henry Mitchell, and thereby obtaining from the Paddingteri
savings Bank the sum of 441. 19s. 2d.
John White, a messenger to the Savings Bank, der 04
that on the previous evening the prisoner, accompanie
young man, apparently not more than twenty-one years of a
entered the premises together, when the latter, on being asked
his business, said that he wished to take out some money, an
witness subsequently saw money paid to the man by the cashier'
On their quitting the bank, witness observed that the prisoner
was much agitated, and he then imagined that there was soma
thing wrong in the transaction.
Henry Mitchell, the husband, stated that he resided at
Wellings-place, Paddington-green, and was about to set for,
all he knew in regard to the affair, but was stopped by t"-
Magistrate, who decided that his wife being the only perW
yet in custody, his evidence could not be admissible.
Mr. Rawcitisort asked him what he knew of the mad
suspected of the forgery, to which he replied. that he he.
known him about three months. His name was Bass, and h"
and witness had been employed by the same master. 0
Young, 115 D, said that, on the same morning, betel.
eleven and twelve o'clock, the prisoner was given into his Or,
tody by her husband, and on her being told what she war
charged with, she stated that she knew nothing whatever sbeu
the money. 'cli
Inspector Wiggins stated, that in addition to the sum sal
Bass had obtained from the bank, he had got possession of 4
great deal of the prisoner's wearing apparel, and a portion
which had been traced to a house in Drummond-street. a,
The prisoner said that the man Bass had lodged at her lieg_a
and that on Saturday fortnight he left. She missed the b
the next day, and knew not who had got it until Mondei;
when he (Bass) saw her, and told her that he had given Stbei
proper notice for withdrawing the money. She adinit,j

having gone to the bank with him to receive it, but asse
that no part had been given to her.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination 1311

ROYAL POLY TECHNIC
INSTITUTION.
A lecture was delived here yesterday by Dr. Ryan 0
" Steam-boiler explosions, especially those arising tinj
lincrustations." The Doctor gave it as his opinion, Pi[es
be fortified that opinion by experiments, facts, and
~tar
citations of high authority, that by far the greater
bar of steam-boiler explosions arise from incrustatioto
of the boiler, which incrustations prevent the boiler fr°o
acting efficiently as a conductor of the heat of the fire.
the water. Almost all water, whether it be sprit];
water or sea water, holds a quantity of bicarbano
of lime in solution. The heat necessary to protinl
steam drives off one portion of the carbonic acid gal d
this bicarbonate and reduces it to the state of carbons

of lime, an insoluble compound which is precipitat;
against the sides of the boiler forming an incrustatleb
which incrustation becomes a nucleus, around wh'„l,
other salts crystallise, which other salts would ti ve,

of this nucleus. It follows, therefore, that if the depli
tion of carbonate of lime could be prevented there wollot
be no incrustration, and by preventing incrustation no
only are the chances of explosion greatly diminished, boo
there is a great saving in fuel, as no heat is wits.,„o
in passing through the crust, and a great saving of OP',
as the process of blowing off is rendered unnecessoll;
Dr. Ritterbrandt, a German physician, residing in Solid
square, has discovered a cheap, easy, and safe methodo
entirely preventing the incrustation of steam-1)005
and he has recently patented his discovery, whioPes,
certainly one of the most important of modern 014
It consists in impregnating thewater used in steam-boliD
with Chloride Ammonium (the common rock od
Ammonium) of commerce, which prevents the formatido
of the insoluble carbonate of lime. It is impossible to ro
into the minutim of the decompositions which tn
place, but we may state that chloride of ammonium r
composed of chlorine ammonia and hydrogen and lie

basis of lime), and oxygen. The hydrogen of the Cl

water. The chlorine of the chloride unites with 'to
calcium of the carbonate, and forms chloride of ca01:0
(the muriate of lime of the old chemists), a salt wbt
is, perhaps, one of the most soluble compounds kon",t,
and the carbon of the carbonate unites with the nris
monia of chloride, forming carbonate of ansion"o
(common smelling salts), a compound so volatile thakty
is driven off in the shape of vapour, and thus the lee,
crustation of the steam-boiler is entirely preveni
Great credit is due to Dr. Ryan for the plain and untiosl
standable manner in which he demonstrates this 1134
important discovery to a mixed audience ; so adfrarliwof
lucid were his explanations, that a person ignoralltj
even the first elements of chemical science could not 'l'
