etill stated the arrival of the Soyereigq eteam-packet
la place from &airport, where she was built on a
coostructlen, for the trade of the River Severn.
_ .er passage down, the engineer. Mr. Rangeley, dis-
Zovered an imperfection in some of the plates forming
holler ; and the packet has ever since remained
tie Canal Basin here, for the purpose of baying
, defects made good. and some other trifling im-
provements effected. These being completed on Fri-
" last, Captain Sandom wished, on Saturday morn-
to try bow the whole of the machinery worked,
taking the vessel a abort way down the Canal.—
eleven o'clock, the steam being up, and all in readi-
noses Mr. Rangeley communicated the information to
Captain, and the latter had just
_given orders for
being hauled off from the what% when the boiler
:ploded, forting out the off-side of the engine-room,
'lick is happily only a moveable partition, and carry-
ing the fragments to a considerable distance on the
Basin! One man, who was putting the engine-door
at the moment, was forced overboard, after being
scalded in a small degree, but was almost• immediately
picked up by the boat, which, being employed in
cArrytag oat an anchor, bad just cleared the scene of
dearer. A boy engaged about the engine. was scald-
ed la a shocking manner, and carried to the Infirmary I,
dangerous state; and, we lament to sdd. that &al
smallest scientific gentleman, happening to be in this,
oa business, was induced to witness this trial of
machinety, sad, at the fatal moment, was close to
engine, observing its being put in motion. Hear-
_, the explosion. he threw himself on the floor, and
being in a confined place, he could not very reedily
extricated ; bat every effort was made; and, Wiwi.
'• oat, be was found to. be dreadfully scalded from
knees dowawards, and otherwise much injured.—
, was, however, just able to walk. and was accom-
panied to his inn, the King's Head, where proper as-
sistance was immediately procured ; and we rejoice to
idd, he is in a promising way of doing well. Most
providentially he were at the 'time a large camblet
cloak, to which circumstance in all probability, may
attributed the preservation of his life ; as its water-
proof quality prevented the boiling element from pit-
- -*rating to the more vital parts of the body. No
Jet person was hurt, although there were about
..... 11 ci74 hoard at the time, ten or twelve of whom
ire in e ItinP-room ; and had there even been
.1/41 on •hw • , it WAS not I.k. ly, (rod) . le I)..enitl• t. t
'ruction of the vessel, that tbry could have sus.aiiied
jury. It ought, however, to be stated, in justice to
Tittle Sandom, that be had refused the application
many Mends, to accompany him daring this expo-
latent, until the security of the whole of the mach'.
eery was tried and ascertained ; sad, .with the ex-
ception of the above unfortunate gentleman, we be-
lieve **ethers were on board the vessel bet those be-
longing to, or employed about her. It has been dis-
covered that tthe accident was occasioned by an
imperfection as the bottom of the boiler. which gave
way solely bum this cause. and from no unusual or
exteaordientry degree of pressure whatever.—(Woe-
cuter Airmail.) . •
