FORGERY ON TILE PADDINGTON SAVINGS BANK.I!
Yesterday a respectably dressed woman, named IC lizabeiP
Mitchell, was charged with having been concerned, with a Mall,
not in custody, in the forgery of the name of her husband'
Henry Mitchell, and thereby obtaining from the Paddington
Savings Bank the sum of 441. 19s. 2d.
John White, a messenger to the Savings Bank, deposed
that on the previous evening the prisoner, accompanied by s
young man, apparently not more than twenty-one years of age'
entered the premises together, when the latter, on being askel
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 rauch agitated, and he then imagined that there was some'
thing wrong in the transaction.
Henry Mitchell, the husband, stated that he resided at Zo
Wellings-place, Paddington-green, and was about to set forth
all he knew in regard to the affair, but was stopped by the
Magistrate, who decided that his wife being the only persoa
yet in custody, his evidence could not be admissible.
Mr. RawuNsoN asked him what he knew of the 01
""
suspected of the forgery, to which he replied, that he 11_,
known him about three months. His name was Bass, and
and witness had been employed by the same master.
Young, 115 D, said that, on the same morning, between
eleven and twelve o'clock, the prisoner was given into his cur
tody by her husband, and on her being told what she vi
charged with, she stated that she knew nothing whatever abo°
the money.
Inspector Wiggins stated, that in addition to the sum win?!
Bass had obtained from the bank, he had got possession Ofd
great deal of the prisoner's wearing apparel, and a portion
which had been traced to a house in Drummond-street.
The prisoner said that the man Bass had lodged at her hour'
and that on Saturday fortnight he left. She missed the boo'
the next day, and knew not who had got it until Mondsy
when he (Bass) saw her, and told her that he had given ttl
proper notice for withdrawing the money. She admitted
having gone to the bank with him to receive it, but assert."
that no part had been given to her.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination nO6l
next Tuesday.

ROYAL POLY TECHNIC
INSTITUTION.
A lecture was delived here yesterday by Dr. Ryan ri
" Steam-boiler explosions, especially those arising fill
incrustations." The Doctor gave it as his opinion, It
be fortified that opinion by experiments, facts, and oat'4
citations of high authority, that by far the greater itlE/is
ber of steam-boiler explosions arise from baeroscat:°°
of the boiler, which incruste,tions prevent the boiler from
acting efficiently as a conductor of the heat of the fire 10
the water. Almost all water, whether it be aPrito
water or sea water, holds a quantity of bicarbons
of lime in solution. The heat necessary to product
steam drives off one portion of the carbonic acid go
this bicarbonate and reduces it to the state of carbons
of lime, an insoluble compound which is preeipitat
against the sides of the boiler forming an incrustatio l
whichincrustation becomes a nucleus, around vrbict,
etle-r salts crystallise, which other salts would 11°,;
however, become crystallised were iw not for the preset
of this nucleus. It follows, therefore, that if the depolj
tion of carbonate of lime could be prevented there wol'i
be no incrustration, and by preventing incrustation b°;
only are the chances of explosion greatly diminished, b:j
there is a great saving in fuel, as no heat is wart
in passing through the crust, and a great saving of Olt
as the process of blowing off is rendered unnecessari'
Dr. Ritterbrandt, a German ph) sician, residing in Sob°i
square, has discovered a cheap, easy, and safe method °
entirely preventing the incrustation of steam-boiler:
and he has recently patented his discovery, which;
certainly one of the most important of modern tiTe,
It consists in impregnating thewater used in steam .bolleisi
with Chloride Ammonium (the common rock
Ammonium) of commerce, which prevents the formatt°
of the insoluble carbonate of lime. It is impossible to gso
into the mioutioe of the decompositions which ta".o
place, but we may state that chloride of ammonium I,
compsed of chlorine ammonia and hydrogen and no!,
bonate of lime, of carbonic acid gas, calcium (the metal°,
basis of lime), and oxygen. The hydrogen of the cbi°,
ride unites with the oxygen of the carbonate and form
water. The chlorine of the chloride unites with the
calcium of the carbonate, and forms chloride of caleil
(the muriate of lime of the old chemists), a salt wilt°
is, perhaps, one of the most soluble compounds knoo,'
and the carbon of the carbonate unites with the sr%
monia of chloride, forming carbonate of ainmontl
(common smelling salts), a compound so volatile that, I,
is driven off in the shape of vapour, and thus the 0
crustation of the steam-boiler is entirely prevented:
Great credit is due to Dr. Ran for the plain and unde's
standable manner in which. ho demonstrates this mes 4,
important discovery to a mixed audience ; so admirab,l
lucid were his explanations, that a person ignorant °1
even the first elements of chemical science could not CO
to understand him.

The session of Parliament may now, we take
it,
looked upon as rapidly drawing to a close. 'What is called th
" Massacre of the Innocents," that is, the abandonment of all Pciej
nisterial measures not advanced to a certain stage, commen
on Monday evening, when the Law of Settlement Bill su
two others affecting the municipal reform and the registrr,
tion of voters in Ireland were withdrawn, for the preso;
by Sir James Graham. This sudden change of intention is ascribe;
in London, to a wish, on the part of the Ministers, to escape 11.00
the obloquy which Lord Stanley, in all the doings of his depSrak
ment, is bringing upon them. It is whispered that he will be 0
lowed to retire before Parliament again meets, that his colleagUoi
may be rescued from a gentleman who has such a happy knack
