Mr. Alexander Galloway, called in and examined.

%Vain is your profession and piece of abode ?—1
am a mechanist and engineer, residing in Holborn.
Di) you know any thing of that Paper—[+hewing
a Paper to the witness] ?—I have seen it.
Do you know by whom it was published ?—/ do
not know ; I have heard it was done by the prop:ie.
tors of some of the Steam Boats. The letter I wrote
was sent to a Morning Paper ; it was only within the
last three days I saw it in that form.
Have you been employed at all in constructing
steam engines for steam la Its ?—I have not.
Were you acquainted at all with the accident at
Norwich ?—No ; but whit 1 have [ward.

I The object of this Committee being to insure the
safety of the passengers on board steam-boats, will
von favour them with your opinion, as an engineer,
what means are bent adapted to insure that sate) ?
I should crrtaialy recommend, that for steam boats
the condensing engines should be used in preference
to bip„h pressure engines, and I will give you my rea-
sons why Ido so. In the first place, the great ad.
vantage that has been promised from a MO pressure
engioe it, thit it can be 'worked in a situatioh where
water cannot be procured, and therefore, under this
circumstance, it is (or such a S•ttl3t1011 ma-
chine; but in situations where water cao be readily
procured, it is not so. And in reference to the com-
parative rice between a tirAh pressure engine and A
low pressure engine, and iu reference to the space
that it occupies, road in reference to the superinten.
deuce that it requires, I am decidedly convinced no
economy is produced. Speaking of it as a matter et
safety, it will be necessary for me to say, that esoe-
rience has tuliy psi:vest that the maximum of force
is be obtaieed by a c ,ndensing engine, is whm the
steam is rerifiA irom Once to r•iis p‘iirsi.ls on the
the eligii:e is by far inure ediesent than when the
steam is ratifieJ up of:J.; and it sail :appear efin.tily
cleat, that wtirtlfer it he A C .:*ot lion toiiter, or a
wrought iron boiler, or a c-pper Wider, the force of
-the engine is better performed ify steam at :ti Ih.
;than it is at any increased expansive. force. The
boiler being subject only to Jib. instead of
Must be less liable to exploJe or burst at that than at
an increased expansive force. I sh,ulsl furth..r say,
that every man that is called to work a condeasing
Steam Engine, knows, that when his steam is at 'brae
p mists and a half, it performs a greater quantity 61
labour than at any other time; for it you increase it
u throw a vast labour on the air pinto ;mil the
condenser, and retard the engine ; therefore, a m in
has no ihdueement to increase the expansive bore of
the steam, he knowing that no useful end can he ol•-
tained by so doing, but giving himself additional la-
bour wad consuming mole luck, and performing less
work. I should also wish to state, that I ) eget ,I4y
made a sketch of what appeared to me to be t proper
and eflicieut boiler fur a Swam Boat, without re-
ference to the character of the engine at all, whether
it woe* cciiidensinil or high pressure engine. All
boilers on board Steam Boats should have the fire in
the interior of the boiler, because it is of very little
importance when you are upon the subject of safety,
whether the passengers are to be .endangered by an
explosion, or whether the vessel is to be we ikeaed in
i:s timbers or essential securities, by the improper ap-
plication of the fire to the boiler ;,therefore, I invai
ably recommend, that the fire should be contained in
the interior of the boiler, and that there should be an
additional safety valve, which should be solely subject
to the superintendence of the proprietor, and that the
manager of the machine should have no possible ac-
cess to it.

That you mean to apply, whether high pressure nr
low pressure boilers are used f—Both ; becauie I am
quill aware, that if a boiler in a steam boat is where
the fire to operate upotrit externally, although you
may not explode the engine, you may so far destroy
the vessel that carries the engine by burning its tim-
bers, without the knowledge of the individuals to
whose care the boat is intrusted, as to be highly in.
lurious and mischievous to the safety of the passel'.
gets. I should certainly recommend a wrought me-
tal boiler in preference to a cast iron bailer; and the
reason is clear, the the operation 01 casting, however
skilfully nianaged, is always an uncertain process. An
ammo= took place a few days ago, which very
much staggered ate ; I bad a largepress of cast iron,

which it was necessary to break up, and in the Inte-
rior of a bar which was probably eight inches by
twelve, there was a cavity in the center of four incltes
diameter, with no external commisnication.
lln yon.think that a sakty valve may not be sd
constructed, a^. that ;is perati shall not be impeded
in any degree by the engitsu,..r to whose care the ves,:•l
k committed, and yet with a tolerable certainty of its
operating to all sts props intents and purposes ?—lf
an additional safety vale: was applied to .t boiler,
and that safe:y, valve plated beyond the power of
brie g interfered with by any persor but the proprietor,
then the boiler visuld y.e secure from ceplosien, if
the safety valve .should be judiciously loaded ; bat it
,!:at safely valve e•.t: cvca pieced beyond the reach
of the operator, and at liIC same time in;isliciously
loaded, *calamity migh: tale place the r4ll:e as lino
such security existed.
Allowing that under possltsl; eirevrr•ances 3

your opinion as ta the sufficient s:delta a higls pry s,ute
engine, of which the boiler and safety irafv:.s should be
construct( d en es • manner which you have just no*
described ?—1 should consider a high pressure engine
under such circumstances using the expansive force
to 40 pounds to the inch, and not beyond 10 pounds,
would be a safe and etliciant engine.
Under all the eh cenistances which at present exist
in the manufacture and management of a condensing
and high pressore engine, with a view to the safety
of p 'twist:era its a steam boat, whie,t of them would
you recoutrneuil ? —Under all the chcitnsitances si
the case, I shout(' most decidedly recommend a con-
densing engine, a condensing engine will a wrought
troll boiler; because when cast iron hs.comes subject

—These boilers that I hive hued up, with the diffe-
rent apparatus for making them secure, were made of
wrought iron; but I do not u e to to say castiron boilers
cannot be made secure. I recommeadud to Mr. Mar-
tineau, lor whom I erected them, that as there had
been an accident in hi* neighbourhood, he ought to
have t to bear three times the ['leisure he meant
to put upon it) and i. it did b esr that pralsure, and
they applied two safety valves w,th a mercurial steErs
gauge, properly weighted and .y.Tetc..l (one of those
safety valves should be at the will of the person about
the isniler, aid the other n:t man should be able to ;ses
at), it would be impossible to explode a boiler of that
description. I saw the boiler after it was exploded at
Wellclose.zquare, and also conversed uith one of the
men that was saved, who told me, that he had carried
an additional reight to put on the safety valve just hue
fee it exploded, that the mercurial gauge there was
?rugged up, so that it was useless ; besides which in-
stead 0! the safety valve being weighted equal to $5
pounds, they added a double weight, which increased
it to 90 pounds weight upon an inch, and the boiler
was very improperly made. I courier that a se. am-

M. St:netn, Permanent Secretary to the French
Academy, died on the (2(44 instant, at the advanced
age of S 3. He r. twined all his faculties to the last.
The Scientific World has sn•.tained another great
loss in the perm of the celebrated minerrilogisr,
WZItNEK, who died at Dresden on the :;0111 of June,
at the age (.1 €7. He has bequeathed to the Crown
his excellent collection of rainer.:l;,,valuf.d at 1,i0,000
crowns.

Among the number of manuscripts left by Madame
de Sian, one of the most important is said to he a
Parallel between the Revolution: of Ensle.nd and France.

The r, deral Diet of Switzerland conimenced its
Sittings at Berne on the 7th instant. The President,
M. WitrrEtivtuz, in his Address to the Diet, on
the present state of the Confederation, represented it
as being at length plated under the safeguard of
Peace,and enjoying the greatest unionand tratiquilit).
• The KING of PRUSSIA, who is still at Carlsbad, is
expected to visit Sedan, the head-quarters of his
army, on the 13th of August.
In the Prussian provinces bordering on the Rhine,

The LNG and Qtmtu of Wirar.unanct have gone

considerable detachment of ‘Virtembergese troops is
stationed, and the latter to Strasburg.
The most recent advises from Milan state, that
the petechial disorder diminishes in Lombardy, but
that its ravages have been greater than is generally
supposed. Among the distinguished persons who
have I.llen victims to it, is the learntd botanist and
•tgriciptur►st Count Pump. Re, Edi►or of the Anal:
dtrusoiture, and author of several other valuable
works.

The Gcadte of Artmberg contains the following
paragraph :-4. We are informed that the Editors of
the FreiLibarai, who had proceeded from Brussels to
lianibiargii. had entertained a project of publishing
in this latter town a new periodical paper in place of
the Watchman, which is asleep, under the title of the
Guardia. of Germans; but this plan was abandoned,
bt chase in peaceable timts there is no necessity either
for a Watchman or Guardian. In consequence, these
political apostles have continued their route towards
the North, to seek out some little corner where likero-
krns may obtain new partizans."
French Funds, July VI, 66 f.. 56 c.

On the 13th and 20th instant there was some tu-
mult in the Theatre at Dieppe, of which we have
Tectivcd the following part culars from an eye-witness:

" BRIGHTON, JULY 24.
Having readied this yesterday, after a passage of ten hours
run Diappe, I send you the followtag details respecting a Thea-
trical Fracas at which I wag present, and which may not otker.

ever suffered to appear in the French Papers—at least till they
have been revised by the Police.

" On Sunday, for 13th of this month, the Officers of the Mi-
litary mill Gene sl'Arnses commanded a Play to be performed,
ea:taking allitsiona to the conduct of the Citizen.: about

'narked with unpleasant obaertatious, the Theatre was crowded
to excess. and the Boxes were chiefly occupied by the Civil and
Military Oilcan, with their friends—the Pit and Gallery by the
inhabitants of the town. The grit Act proceeded on with mu.
that satisfaction; but towards the latter pan of the second Act,
a sentence, clinging the Army with abandoning their Monarch,
