PHILA DELPHfA, April 2nd, 1853.
MIR. HoEDEN-De G- Sir: mentioned in my last
letter rumor of the probable necessity, under the
circumstances therein named, Of granting Arthur
! Sprng-Ihe murderer of the two women in this
City--a new trial. The motion for trial was
very ably argued Monday last by the Attorney for
the Commonwealth, and Ex-Judge Dorum for the
prisoner. The Court held the matter under consid-
Grafton during the week, until this morning, when
the decision, granting new trial was made known.
The money taken from Mrs. Linch's trunk has been
found through intimations OF its whereabouts being
given by Spring 10 of the officers.
have been favored, through the p0iIeness of the
inventor. MIR. McCintock. with thorough exami-
nation and xpanaon OH recently patented safe
~ valve for the prevention OF Steam Boiler exPlo-
siOns, and think but justice 10 the inventor TO say
that it is the very best and valuable improve
for that purpose now before the public 1t
combines Two very essential features, simplicity and
accuracy, and it is placed entirely without the con-
troll of the engineer. 1t cannot be overloaded nor
can 1t be prevented from discharging the excess of
Steam by placing one thousand pounds upon the top
of the valve it is duplex, and should the secret valve
become inactive, the outer valve will relieve
il, by giving the excess of steam in the boiler.
Its action is VERTICAL and its resistance the pres
sure beneath it cannot be changed, as by the sPi-
raj spring or lever valve now in use. 1t may be
raised from eighth of an inch or less, TO one
inch from its and its action Will be just the same
Its accuracy be tested by school boy, simple
is it in its construction. The design of the paentee
is to place this valve, in point of cost, within the
reach OIL every person using DolFIS. am
having of these valves constructed, to be placed
boiler Of forty five horse power, and which will
be put up within few miles of your City for your
enterprising and gentlemanly townsmen Messrs. Il.
D. H. & II. W. Fl. The recent Steam Boiler expo-
sons in North Carolina will necessarily cause Seine
inquiry into. and anxiety for the safety of Steam
Boilers in use, and 10 he put TO throughout
the whole country, and hence my notice of the above
valve. These valves will be furnished by Messrs.
Hunsworlh, Eakins & Co., Peoples Works, Ken
sngton, Philade pha, who at the head of their
profession as Mechanics and Engineers. They, have
an extensive establishment, and are almost daily send
ing out specimens of their skill different parts Of
the world. This establishment: has connected with
one of the most extensive Foundres in this City,
and they have justly meriied reputation. of being
the best Iron House front Masons, in this country,
and evidence of this fact, would mention that,
they constructing very extensive front 10
be put up in the City of Baltimore. Notwithstand
ing the present high price of iron it is taking the
place of all other materials for the fronts of usness
houses, and | surprised that of your
many enterprisIng business men, who have recently
built and are now hui ding new stores, have not a.
dopted them in preferen TO the rough and uns CHIT
y bricks that " dug up" in tine vicinity OF ka-
leigh.
The weather has been unu suaIly fine and plea SAINT
during the past week, and notice the trees in the
public squares putting forth their leaves and Civ
ing indications of approaching summer. Business
is rather the decline, although it yet be said
10 be brisk. Yours, b.
p. S.-Ali letters of inquiry respecting McClin-
ocks patent safety valve, addressed TO Fl. g. Bruce,
postpaid, will receive attention.
