PREVENTION OF THE Explosion OF STEAMBOAT
BonERs-We have with great pleasure read the
report made on the 7h of February, by Mr.. Simp-
SOD, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, on this
subject 1t is there stated that the history of the IA
tai effects of explosion by steam, shows that from
1880 TO 1870 eighty vessels have been lost by explo
sions, seven hundred and eighty persons killed, and
two hundred and nnety,six wounded and by fire,
twenty five vessels lost, and two hundred and fifty
five killed. The true causes of explosions, it is the
opinion ofthe committee, are but two want OF wa
ter in the boiler and incrustation from sediment or
salt The law of Congress requires that all boilers
should be made to bear, by hydrostatic pressure,
three hundred pounds to the square inch; then to
have valve put on, and weighted down so las to
open when the pressure rises to hundred pounds
yet many, thus prepared, have burst. This be
accounted for no other principle than that some
part of the boiler has been heated ed-hot, and be-
come so weak as to burst with pressure oless than
hundred pounds. Hence the great desideratum is
to secure boilers against this red heat This is done
eectualy by keeping the water in the boiler above
the line where the fire is applied. This and the other
cause Of bursting-when salt sediment settle in the
bottom Of the boiler and prevents the water from con-
tact with the meal-are both removed by the appica-
ton OF Raub's and Barnums sef-actng safety valves,
which will, according to a large of evidence
from practical and scientific men, etecualIy prevent
explosions Of steam boilers and the eXtnguishment
of fires So fully impressed with this fact was the
Committee on Naval Affairs that they directed bill
to be reported on the 7th instant appropriating the
of five thousand dollars for the purpose of at
tachng the valves and freextinguisher to the boilers
of five Of the public steamships of the United States
The Secretary of the Navy is required by the bill to
report TO Congress, may be, their efficiency
in preventing explosions and burning of ships.
We trust this appropriation will be made-the
amount is very, very small, compared with the great,
ends at which the invention aims.

THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESI
DENT ELECT

Walker, on the part of one branch, and the Hon.

his profound gratitude to them, and declared
that, drawn Unexpectedly by the generous suf-
frages of his felow-ciizens from the shades of
private life into the full glare of official station,
it was difficult to repress the soliclude that he
might not be equal 10 the exigencies of so sud-
den change, but that, swayed by an ardent
devotion to the high honor, true interest, and
fast union of the American States, he would
enter with zeal upon the duties assigned to him.
