U. S. NAVY YARD, WASHINGTON,
April 20, 1854
SIR Your order Of this date, for me to re-
port my opinion Of the merits of Mr.. Reeder's
Safety Guard" in charge Of Capt. Harri-
SON is received, and beg leave to state as
follows:
The above invention is a safety valve at
tached to the boiler, with pipe opening in
side below the surface of the water When
the pressure of tho steam becomes too great
the valve raises and lets out water, which, by
small pipes, is conducted to the furnaces and
puts the fires out
In the ordinary way safety valve is at
tached to tho boiler, opening in the steam
space When the pressure of steam becomes
TOO great the valve raises and lets off the
steam in the open air-thus relieving the pres
sure without extinguishing the fires
When an intelligent and careful engineer is
employed l consider the latter mode prefera-

Bath Hotel. Sea Side.

This favorable resort, (says the Brooklyn
DAILY Eagi'O during the Summer solstice b as
lately been re-opened for the season by Mr.
b. Rathbun of the hotel bearing his name in
Brooklyn. During tbs past winter and spring
the most extensive improvements have been
made The house has been enlarged by the
addition Of new wings and the interior has
been arranged 10 such manner as to conduce
to the greatest comfort and convenience of
the numerous throng who make this their
place of abode during the hot weather. Mr..
Rathbun is we'll known as caterer for the
public taste. His table is always supplied
with the best the market affords, and the at
PENDANTS are always ready to attend to the
calls of the boarders. As a summer resort it
Is In every way equal to many Of the crack"
establishments at distance, and superior to
most Of them, combining as it does both land
and sea views. The house is situated near the
waters edge, with beautiful landscape on
one side and sea view Of unsurpassed mag
nihcence on the other. 1t is just the place to
90; convenient and easy Of access. The dis
lance is six miles from any of the ferries BY
the Greenwood cars to the end of the route,
thence by stages every hour, fare twenty five
cents. The Bath Hotel cannot be too highly
commended. The beautiful shaded lawns, the
safe and delightful sea bathing, convenience of
access, and the proverbial healthfulness of the
locality makes it the most splendid, delightful
and desirable summer residence in the vicini.
ty of New York and Brooklyn.

r We have received from Shillington,
Putnam for August, as we'll as the August
number of Household Words, by Dickens.
Also, American edition of Blsckwood's for

Of all magazines published in any country, it,

most necessary. Putnam-its foolish politics
aside-deserves hosts of readers; while House

Dickens, never fail to breathe the literary
spirit of his editorship, and therefore to be
equal to the veritable coinage of his mental

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to
press, on motion of Mr.. Jones, of Iowa, the
bill for the continuing the Improvement of
the Des Moines Rapids, in the Mississippi
river, was taken up and passed. Eighteen
internal improvement bills Of no public i'm
portance or interest, were then cons ecutiyely
taken up and passed.
Mr.. Brown moved to proceed to the consid.
Grafton Of District of Columbia bills, and after
few remarks from Mr.. B. and Mr. Seward
for it, and Mr.. Benjamin against it, it was
agreed to.
Mr.. Brown called up the following bills,
which, after explanation, were read third
time and passed:
A bill to incorporate the Guardians OF the
Poor.
bill to incorporate the Washington Mu-
tual Building Association.
A bill for the relief of the Columbian
harmony Society," of the City of Washing
Mr. Brown was for considering the other
bills relating to the same subject. to wit, that
to incorporate the Washington BenzoIe Gas
Light Company, and that to authorize the
taking of the sense Of the people living west
OF Rock Creek OIL the question of retroceding
that part of the District to the State of Mary
land but as these bills were likely to give
rise to discussion, Mr.. B allowed them to 90
over, saying, at the same time, that there was
one bill germane to the subject on which they
had been engaged, namely, the bill to pro-
vide for improving the harbor of Georgetown,
IN the District of Columbia, which he would
ask to have taken up.
