TRIAL OF STEAM BOILER AT A PRESSURE OF OVER EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS.—The scientific American of this week has a report of a trial before a Committee of the Franklin Institute, which took place recently of "a Harrison Boiler," in which a steam pressure of over eight hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch was raised in one instance with a result that produced no in• jury to the boiler. The account in our New York contemporary says: The experiments.were made with sections taken from the prepared stock in the works without any regard to choice or selection, and consisted of— First—A section elevated upon one edge, raised to about 45 degrees, was subjected to hydrostatic pressure, the injection being at the lower angle. The lower pair of globes were fractured at 600 pounds to the square inch. Second—The injured globes being replaced by new ones the test was repeated, fractur ing again at the same point under a pres sure of 625 pounds. . Third—A section was set up i In same posi tion in brickwork imbedded n a clay bank and covered with earth and timber for safety, and charged about three-fourths fall of water, and sealed close. Fire was then applied and steam raised to eight hundred and fifty-two pounds when a sudden rush ing of steam led us to suppose a rupture had occurred, but the steam gauge rested at three hundred pounds, when the fire was increased. Steam again escaping at inter vals, and no rupture occurring, the fire was drawn and the section removed for inspec tion. It was found that the extreme neat had elongated the rod confining the lower series of globes, opening the joints and al lowing the escape of steam and water; but on cooling, the rod had contracted and the joint seemed closed as at first, the nuts screwed up, and under one hundred pounds pressure it was found perfectly tight. Fourth—Two sections united and set in brickwork were charged three-fourths full of water and the furnace lighted, raising steam to 150 pounds; which was let off to 100 pounds, at which the pressure was con tinued, the fuel being increased and the valve open until from exhaustion of the water, the pressure went down to 30 pounds. The doors were then opened and all the globes above the bridge wall, about one half the section were found to be red hot— almost to a white heat. No fracture or leakage or other injury could be discovered. It has hitherto been thought best to mount the sections on edge, with the front end elevated about 45 degrees, the top of the bridge wall taking at a point about half the length of the section or "slab." By this system the heat being deflected forward by the bridge wall, rises and is then curved backward over the bridge, sweeping and enveloping the entire group of globes,thus presenting the greatest proportional amount of heat- a bsorbing sur face that has yet been attained in any steam generating apparatus. But to adapt the in vention to marine uses, Mr. Harrison had, fitted up a series upon a new plan, uniting them with ball and cup joint at top and bot tom for safety and compensation. This formed trial— Fifth—The furnace was liOited and steam raised from cold water to 30 pounds in 18 minutes, to 60 pounds in 22 minutes, to 100 pounds in 26 minutes, and to 150 pounds in 31 minutes, pine wood for fuel. The steam was run down to 100 pounds and the appa ratus connected with the main engine ac tuated the works for tl:e remainder of the day. DEATH OF A MlSER.—There died recently, in the borough of Wilmore, Cambria coun ty, Pa., an old man, named Bernard Halli gan, who in his lifetime was a miser of the first class; He was a common laborer by occupation, unmarried, and lived alone in the meanest manner in the most cheerless domicil. Previous to his death he had his will drawn up, bequeathing the balk of his money to a sister in Ireland, but when the document; was presented to him for his sig nature he refused to affix his name. He subsequently had one of his neighbors called in, to whom he committed the care of an old trunk, which, after his death, was opened, and is said to have contained some seven hundred and sixty dollars in gold and silver, together with a considerable sum in greenbacks. So miserable did this old man live, that when his neighbors came to prepare his body for sepulture, not a shred of clean linen could be found in the house with which to dress it. Everything in and about his miserable abode bore the impresa of squalid poverty and the utmost degradation. &JIM/E.-At 11.50 P. M. on Thursday, information was received at the Eighth Precis ct station that a suicide had been committed at the residence of Mr. Francis Esputa, No. 511 E street, Navy Yard. Lieu tenant .Milstead and Sergeant Harbin re paired to the locality indicated, and found that Mr. Esputa. who is over seventy-one years of age, had shot himself in the fore head with a revolver, death ensuing about five minutes after the infliction of the wound. A few moments before the occur rence, Mrs. Esputa, woke up and saw her husband sitting in a chair reading, by the light of a candle, which he held in his hand. The old lady again went to sleep, and a few minutes afterwards was aroused by the re port of a pistol, and saw her husband lying upon the floor. The deceased has been slightly deranged for some time, and it is supposed that he was laboring under a tem porary aberration of mind when the act was committed.—National intelligencor, PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19. 1866. .7EIL CP MOE . FO Text of the Recent Allocution of the Pope. The Government. of Italy Unsparingly Denounoid. The following is the fall text of the Pope's recent Allocution: Venerable Brethren: More than once, 0 venerable brethren exercising our apostolic office, we have deplored, either in our pub lished letters or in divers allocutions de livered in your most august assembly, the affliction which has hung for along time in Italy over the affairs of our very holy reli gion, and the very grave insults offered to us and the Holy See by the Sub-Alpine Government. Moreover, you must com prehend with what grief we are seized now that we see that Government, with a pas sion that is increasing every day,constantly attacking the Catholic Church ,its wholesome laws, and all its sacred ministers; when we see, alas, venerable bishops, and the most virtuous clergy, both secular and rem:L iar, and other most excellent Catholic citi zens, sent into exile by that Government, without the least regard for religion, justice or humanity, or thrown into prison or con demned to forced residence, molested in the most unworthy manner, dioceses deprived of their pastors, to the great detriment of souls; virgins devoted to God taken away from their convents, and reduced to beg gary; God's temples violated; diocesan schools closed against the members of the clergy; the education of Catholic youths taken out of the pale of Christian discipline -and confided to the professors of errors and iniquities, and the patrimony of the Church usurped and sold. That same Government, in contempt of ecclesiastical censures, and without paying the least regard to our most just complaints and those of our venerable brethren, the bishops of Italy, has sanctioned similar laws, totally contrary to the Catholic Church, to its doctrine and its rights, and condemned by us; and it has not hesitated to promulgate a law respecting civil mar riage, as it is called—a law quite contrary aot only to Catholic doctrine, but likewise to the well-being of civil society. Such a law tramples under foot the dignity and sacredness of marriage. It destroys it as an institution, and encourages a concu binage that is perfectly scandalous. In fact, a marriage cannot take place among the faithful without there being at the same time a sacrament. It belongs, therefore, exclusively to the Church to decide on everything concerning the sacrament of marriage. Moreover, that Government—injuring in an evident manner the condition of those who make public profession of religious vows, which have always had and always will have force in God's church, and not re cognizing the very great advantage of the Regular Orders which, founded by men of holiness, and approved by the Holy Apos tolic See, have in an especial manner de served the thanks of the Christian Bepub lic, civil and literary, by so many glorious labors and so many pious and useful works —has not feared to sanction a law suppress ing throughout its entire territory all reli gious corporations of both sexes; it has ap propriated all their property,and a great deal of other property belonging to the Church, and has ordered it to be divided. Before entering into possession of the Venitian pro vince it did not hesitate to extend thereto the same laws, and it enjoined, contrary to all law and justice, the total abrogation and annihilation of the convention which was come to between us and our very dear son in Jesus Christ, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. Therefore, faithful to the very serious du ty of our apostolic ministry, we raise anew in your most august assembly our voice on behalf of religion, of the Chnrch, of its holy laws, the rights belonging to the authority of this chair of St. Peter, and with all our strength we deplore and condemn all and each of the things which, contrary to the Church, its laws ar d its rights, have been decreed, done and attempted by the Sub-Alpine Government, and by all other subordinate authorities; and by our Apos tolic authority we abrogate and proclaim null and void, and without force or effect, all the aforesaid decrees and everything that appertains to them. We likewise beg their authors, who glory in the name of Christians, to bear in mind and seriously to consider that they have un fortunately incurred the censures and the spiritual pains inflicted by the Apostolic Constitution and the decrees of the General Councils upon whosoever should attack the rights of the Church. You know, venerable brethren, that cer tain astute men oppose us and interpret in their own sense the blessing which we gave to Italy when, assuredly without any merit of our own, but, thanks to the impenetrable judgment of God, we spontaneously pre nounced the words of pardon and peace out of love for the people of the Pontifical Sta,te. In truth, full of solicitude for the welfare and happiness of the entire flock, asking by our prayers from God the good of Italy, we besought Him with fervor and humility that Ile might deliver her from the evils which afflicted her, and that the most pre cious gift of the Catholic faith might be all powerful in Italy, and that rectitude of manners, justice, charity, and all Christian virtues might flourish there more and more. Once more to-day we do not cease to send up our most fervent prayers to God that in His goodness He would deign to remove from the Catholic people of Italy the many and fteat calamities of every kind which are afflicting and assailing them through the fault of the governors of Italy, and in oonsequence of a multiform persecution. But, above all things, we beseech our most merciful Lord to aid and fortify by His heavenly help the people of Italy, in order that they may remain firm and immutable in the Divine faith and in their religion, and that they may be able, with Christian foritude, to support and endure so many misfortunes and evils. Foolish, however, are those Who, on the strength of this, do not cease to demand of us, already despoiled. and with the most manifest Injustice, of several Provinces of our Pontifical Territory, that we should re nounce enr civil sovereignty and that of the Apostolic See. Surely every one must see how unjust and prejudicial to the Church is such a demand. By a singular arrange ment of Divine Providence, as we have said on a former occasion, it happened that the Roman Empire having fallen, and being di vided into many Kingdoms and divers States, the Reiman Pontiff, in the midst of srfch great variety of Kingdoms, and in the actual state of human society, was invested with bi civil soyereigtity, in congequerm OUR IRTH.6 Li! COUNTRY", of which, never being subject to any lay power, he exercises in entire liberty supreme authority and his jurisdic tion over the Church, which has been divinely confided to him by our Lord Jesus Christ. And the faithful, with full tran quillity of conscience and entire .confidence obeying the decrees warnings, and orders of the Pontiff, submiti themselves thereto' without even entertaining the least suspi cion that his acts are subject to the will and impulse of any sovereign or any civil power. We cannot renounce the civil power estab lished by the Divine wisdom of Providence for the good of the universal Church. We are bound, on the contrary, to defend that government, and to protect therigh ts of that civil power, and to complain strongly of the sacrilegious usurpation of the provinces of the Holy See, as we have already, done, and as we do now, remonstrating and protesting to the utmost of our power. Every one knows that the Bishops of the Catholic world have never ceased to defend with zeal, orally and in writing, our civil sovereignty and that of the Apostolic See, and all have proclaimed that that sovereign ty, especially in the actual condition of the affairs of the world, is absolutely necessary to establish and defend the perfect liberty of the Roman Pontiff, who feeds all the Catho lic fiock—a liberty which is so intimately connected with the freedom of the entire Church. These same men fear not even to go about crying everywhere that we ought to recon cile ourselves withltaly—that is to say,with the enemies ofour religion who boast them selves of having founded Italy. ' Bat how can we, the appointed champions and de fenders of our most holy religion and of the salutary doctrine of virtue and of justice, who have to watch for the salvation of all, march in concert with those who, not up holding the holy doctrine and re fusing to hear the truth, keep themselves away from us—those who would never con descend to grant ourdesires nor to meet our demands, to the effect that so many dio ceses of Italy, deprived of their pastoral consolation and protection, should have their bishop.? Would to Heaven that all those who so vehemently oppose the Church, us, and this Apostolic See, turning their regards and their souls to truth and justice, may be en lightened once for and, thinking of themselves and looking to the good of their souls, moved by a holy repentance, may endeavor to come back to us. Nothing would be more agreeable to us than to go forward to meet them, following the example of our Evangelical father, and to embrace them, rejoicing In the Lord that His children were dead and are alive again; that they were astray and have been found. Then, indeed, it would be seen that our venerable religion, the mother and the fruitful nurse of every vir tue, and the scourge of vice, conduces equally to the happiness of the individual and the welfare of all. Where religion and her wholesome doctrines prevail, there must necessarily flourish uprightneasof manners, integrity, peace, justice, charity and all the virtues. Then people are not afflicted with those grievous calamities which unhappily weigh upon them where religion and its doctrines are not recognized. By the deplorable facts relatedsummarily and with:pain, and by the sad contemporary events in Italy, everybody can easily see and divine to what great perils this Apostolic See is exposed, and how it is the mark of the most bitter threats of rebellion, the ha ired of unbelievers, and the anger of the enemies of Christ's cross. On every side are continually heard fren sled voices, which find an echo in our des perate enemies, declaring that this city of Rome must share in this unhappy Italian perturbation and rebellion—nay, must be come its capital. But God, who is rich in mercy, will, by his Omnipotence, make the impious counsels and desires of our enemies fail. He will never permit this noble city, so dear to us, in which, out of His great and singular goodness, He has fixed the chair of Peter, the impregnable basis of His divine faith and religion, to return to that unfortu nate condition so admirably described by our holy predecessor, Leo the Great, in which she found herself when far the first time the holy Prince of the Apostles en tered the city,then the mistress of the world. As to us, even when deprived of almast ,all human assistance, faithful still to oar . mission, and confiding absolutely in the aid of Almighty God, we are ready to combat without fear, even to the peril of oar life, for the cause or the Churchdivinely confided to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, and if need be to remove thither where we shall be able to exercise in the best manner our supreme apostolic mission. And seeing . hat in such a horrible tempest our best ant only support must be prayer, we address ourselves to all the venerable brethren and bishops of the entire Catholic universe, to all the Catholic clergy; and to all the children of the Holy Mother Church, who have never ceased to lavish on us such striking evidences of love and respect, and to come to our aid in our gravest trials and those of the Holy See; we beg of them more and more to offer con stantly, with faith, hope and charity, fervent prayers to God for the defeat of the enemies of the Church, and for their return to the path of salvation. For, to avail ourselves of the words of Chrysostom, prayer constitutes a powerful arm, a great security, a real treasure, an excellent harbor, a very sure asylum, pro vided that, attentive and vigilant, we pre sent ourselves- before the Lord, the mind collected, and without leaving any access to the enemy of our salvation. In the midst of the deep anguish which afflicts us we have a great consolation, knowing that God, when His Church has no human support, effects marvelous prodigies, which mani fest most clearly His omnipotence, and His divine hand, and come to confirm this truth, that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Church, which wilt always remain immovable, triumphing over its enemies, until the consummation of time. But it is exceedingly painful that it is not precisely determined that a nation shall always preserve the precious treasure of our divine faith and of our religion. In truth, there are many nations who have kept faithfully the deposit of the faith and the discipline of its manners; but, alas! they have been detached from the rock upon which rests the edifice of the 'Church, and separated from him to whom has been given the power to confirm the brethren and to feed the lambs and the sheep, not agpreing among themselves, and, enveloped in the darkesE3 of error; they are in the greatest danger'as to their salvation. And here we cannot abstain, by reason of our mission, from adjuring in the name of the Lord all Sovereigns and other Govern ors of States to examine once for all, and carefully to consider, the Very grave obli gation they are under to endeavor that love and respect for religion should increase among nations, and with all their strength to prevent the torch of faith from being ex tinguished among them. Woe, then, to those tiovernona who, for- I: getting that they are the ministers of God unto good, shall have neglected to promote : that worship when they could and ought. .It is for them to fear and tremble when through their work especially they destroy the most precious treasure of the Catholic faith, without which it is impossible to . please God. When they shall be summoned before the tribunal of Christ for most severe judgment, they shall see what a dreadful thing it is to fail under the displeasure of the living God and to feel His strict justice. Finally, we cannot doubt, venerable brethien, witnesses and companions of our ' labors, appreciating your excellent and well-known religion, your piety, and your deep love for Catholicism, that you will desire to unite your fer vent prayers to ours, and to those of the whole Church, and earnestly to conjure the very gracious Father of Mercies, in order that, through the merits of His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, He would take pity on Italy, on all Europe. and on the entire • world, and that by His Divine omnipotence He would cause that, after the destruction of all errors and the cessation of bitterness and perturbations, His holy Church may fully enjoy entire liberty and peace—that human society maybe freed from the many eVils that afflict it, and that all nations may be blended in the unity of the faith and in acknowledgment of His Son, walking in the paths of the Lord, and producing fruits in good works of every kind. Freneh Seml.Otheial View of the Aileen tion. [From the .7ournal des Ddbats of Nov. SJ The event of the day is thePontifieso Allo culion upon the affairs of Italy, or rather, the affairs in the whole of Europe. Since the Encyclical and the Syllabus, the Court of Rcme has not pronounced words so dire fully significant. We believe that this Al locution will receive greater importance and will produce worse effects than the documents above mentioned. The defenders of the Syllabus could say that it was a mere doctrinal and abstract exposition,which did not demand a rigorous and immediate ap plication to the events of the present time; but such language is not applicable to-day. This last Allocution is a summons to Italy, and, in effect, to all the Catholic Powers to put in practice the principles of the Syllabus —principles purely speculative.

The Detroit Post says : "On October 17th, the schooner Adirondack, Capt. William Griffin, cleared from the port - of Chicago for Buffalo, with a cargo of about eighteen thou sand bushels of wheat. The wind was fair, the weather favorable, and every hope was entertained by the captain and the crew that a safe and prosperous voyage would be made. On the 22d, however, while the schooner was off the Highlands, near Saubie, on Lake Huron. she was struck by a sudden squall and thrown upon her beam ends, which entirely shifted her cargo. The captain, with great presence of mind, had both masts cut away, in order to prevent her from four dering. With her masts went every par ticle of rigging and sails, and all that was left of the schooner was the hull, with its valuable cargo so shifted that one side of her deck was entirely under water.

Morgan, of the steam whaling bark Pioneer, of an interview. with Mr. C. F. Hall, the Arctic explorer. The ships Black Hawk and Ansel Gibbs are re ported to nave arrived at Repulse Bay, and to have supplied Mr. Hail with provisions. Mr. Chappell writes as follows: NEW .Lormew, Nov. 16; 1866.—HenrY Grinnell, Esq., New York.—DEAlit SIR: The steam whaling bark Pioneer, Capt. Ebene zer Morgan, from the northern seas, arrived at this port yesterday. As the vessel fell in with Mr. C. F. Hall, the Artic explorer, and yet brought no letter from him to his friends in the United States, I forward you Captain Morgan's statement of his interview and success with Mr. Hall in his researches among the natives of the northwest coast of Hudson's Bay. The Pioneer reached the head of Repulse Bay, north of River Welcome, on the 26th of July last. Here they met Mr. Hall and his party of Esquintaux, all in good health, at that time engaged in fishing, His faith ful adherents, Joe and Hannah (Esoui mama), who are well known to you, with some other natives, form his family, or troupe. He had at that time no white man in his company. Mr. Hall was much af fected, again to meet familiar faces and hear news from home. He had passed the win ter very comfortably, being thoroughly inured to the Esquimaux mode of life, and having with his resources secured ample supplies food. At this station he killed one whale last fall and another t h hi a s d summer, while deer were found in the great est abundance. He had established a great many depots of provisions, extending far into the interior, to be used in case of neces sity. Last spring Mr. Hall made a - journey northwest, toward Committee Bay and Ring William's Land, but found the natives of that region so treacherous and jealous that he was forced to return,.when within 100 miles of his destination, This animosity and fend is between the different. families and tribes of the Esquimaux, who all carry weapons secretly, and do not hesitate to kill each other for any real or supposed injury. Some of them threatened the life of Mr. Hall and his party, and they were obliged to turn back. Mr. Hall has secured a great many relics of the Franklin exploring expedition, to gether with some important documents which he believes to have been penned by Captain Crozier, and has information of the location of others, which he is determined to obtain, believing them to be of mach. value toward clearing up the mystery of the fate of the unfortunate survivors of the Erebus and Terror. Mr. Hall is continually adding to his stock of information, and the object of his search being further snowit among the natives, he is constantly gather ing fresh traces and new proofs to establish previously-known facts. Among other things he has heard of the location of a boat turned bottom up, under which are the dead bodies of seventeen to twenty-five white men, with their hands and feet all cut off. The natives claim that the mutilation was not done by them, but by some of the white men who- were wrecked. The tradition of the Esqnimanic is that a rebellion broke out among the survivors, who were endeavoring to reach. Hudson's Bay, and that all bat three were murdered; that these three remained among the natives, working their way toward white settlements, but they finally died before reaching them. Capt. Morgan furnished Mr. Hall such things as he needed from his ship,and states that two or three American whaling vessels will winter at Repulse Bay this season. Mr. Hall expressed his areatgratitudeand regard f)r tbose who had aided him at home to undertake his plans of discovery, and said that he was determined to carry oat his plans, if it could be done without too mach expense, and conclude his explorations in that quarter the ensuing. year. Hs wished very much to organize -a small party of six or eight:white men, fatly armed to accompany him. He could then travel with impunity and reach the utmost limit of his desires. It is not improbable that en ch a party can he made up from the ship's crews wintering there. Mr. Hail was preparing to send home by the Pioneer many relics, his journals, let ters, &c. The ship moved some fifty miles for a better whaling ground,fully intending to return to Repulse Bay, but owing to the ice was unable to do so. This will account for the fact that she did not bring anything from Mr. Hall direct. Hoping these items may prove of interest o you, I remain, very truly, yours, ( to.
