"Sister, are you determined to marry Annette
to Mr. Eccleson asked Mr. Goodman, of hie
•
Blear, Mrs. Doily. 1
'•-"Ceftaitily,l am, brother, ' - answered _ the lad).
ttlanvery respect an avantageous match for
her, indeed John, I assure that I look upna an
alliance with the Eccleson family as one of the
mast - desiiable things that:could possibly happen,
and so does.Muf:Doily.",;.; • .
“I do not agree -with you," said her brother; -
!hrut I =leaf , in :end', you -may haveteason to
change Your present views .y% •- • e ;
' And why so, brother?" returned ,IVlrs.''Hoity.
" Et seems to me you are always, looking on: the
dark side? - N o w . do tell me, what reasoli7
able Objection you can potribly have to'Annettea
marriage—l ata sure I can see none—and of
course; no one can have her happiness more at
heatt than her own motherl I! not Mr.Ecelesati
very rich, and nearly 'allied to some of the first
families in the • city? His age, surely can lie no
serious objection--indeed, it ie altfor the best, for
"a man stands still, while ii -woman grows old;
and fifteen years hence, depend upon it; no one
will think him- ifteen years, her senior, Then he
Is very - tigrFeable, and certainly • uncommonly
• good-lookingl" and with, the air of one Whii feels
that they have the best 'of the argument, Mrs.
Doily complacently swung to and fro in her eaey .
•
rocking-chair. - - •
• "Yes, Jane, be is all of these—and you may
add too as proud as Luciferl" said Mr. Goodman.
"He tuts reason 0- be proud," put in Mrs. Doily.
y" Perhaps he bas," answered tier brother, "and
ou will Gnd that his pride will not allOw him to
acknowledge, willingly, aurtonnection with a
try goods retailer."
"Ridiculous, brother—how foolish you talk!
pray; then; Why should` he offer to marry Annette,
if be looks upon the connection as something to
be ashamed oil" said Mrs. Doily, getting almost
angry.
Why? Why, because he has fallen in love with
Annette's pretty face; he means to marry hermot
her family, and he trusts to. is, fuiure power over
her, and to a woman's devotedness to her huiband:
right or wrong, to wean her away from her earlier
tieS.'
"John, yon really talk very strangely ex
claimed Mrs. Doily, almoit ready to cry. What
possesses, you to run on in this way;just as if my
: dear Annette could ever be brought to give up
all her old friends for strangers. Ido wish you
would not talk so—it really makes me nervous."
".Well, my dear sister, t may be mistaken, and
for your sake, and for Annette's - salca, I hope to
God am! I call myself, a pretty - good - judge of
character, and if I Cr. not, Mr. Eccleson has so
much pride—arrogance, perhaps would liethe bet.
ter -word for it is not the pride of a high-minded,
honorable man—as will make him callous what
ties he rends, or what sacred altars he may tram
ple down to serve his own ambitious viaws. Be.
sides; Jane, I never yet knew any true happiness
to result from unequal marriages; and I tell you
honestly that were Annette my daughter, I would
sooner see her the wife of an honest youngtrades
man, who had his own fortune and standing to
build up, than the ; wife of Penn Eccleson, were he
ten times richer than he is.' -
"Oh, yes;John, were Annette your daughter!:
said Mrs,Doily, forcing a laugh. "Yes, I know,
old` bachelors and old maids are always most won.
~derful patterns of parental prudence! but with all
your prejudices, you will allow one thing, I hope,
that Mr.- . Eccleson is tar from being either a sel
fish or a mercenary mart."
"I'deny the first," interrupted :tic. Goodman.
" For;.e refuses to receive any fortune with
Annette; true, we could not give her much—five
- or six thousand dollars, perhapi, but even that is ,
something; and I am sate his refusal to accept
Of it is very notate. It is Annette, and Annette
only he wants."
"True, very true—it is Annette he wants, and
and not a penny of the satiate:4 money—there
shall be no'obligation of that nature to bind him
' to the family of the fiture Mrs. Eccleson r , ex
claimed .:?ffr. Goodman starting up angrily_frorn
his. chair. "Jane, Jane, I protest against this
marriage i" . ...and seining his hat and cane, he with
drew, leaiing poor Mrs. Doily bathed in the tears
' l dle was no longer able to restrain—tears of vase
_lion wadianger, at what she deemed the wilful ob
stinacy of her brothir._
; ;If "whitt" uncle John said was true, it was car
.tninty yet to be proved; for perhaps no Marriage,
in the e,yes of hopeful,-partial. parents, ever pro
inised a fairer prospect of happiness to trusting
-galhood . tban that so Mon tO be consummated.
Eccleson belonged exclusively lo the Mo.

fort him, had both commenced life with ci.deter
. mination 16' be rich—richer-ruichest—and what
the former had accumulated from small ' begin
flings, and careful savings, was es carefully and
_
judiciously applied by the sou, until little by little
the broad foundation of future wealth was sue
- cessfully established.
In-the stays of their youth, when the'freshness
of. their young lives should havebeen de-voted to
• better and halter ends, the parents of Penn Eerie
-.son • lobked forward only to the' aggrandizement
of themselves and children, through thelioterit,
influence of money; and to thitrend,_they toiled'
and delved in the servicivef blanimon, with a
bondage almost equal to that of the 'gold's'eelting

Ma, denying-themselves all the luxuriei, and most
of the comforts of life, to swell the hoard of ova

formed,asdisagreeable a trio as one would-care to
_see—for.assuredly there is nothing . more unpleas
ing, than - to 'behold the beautiful simplicity of
, childhood lost in the supercilious airsand artificial
graces of the fine lady.
The Ecclesons were regarded at first in no very

- for their debut into' high life, and occasionally
'their pride suffered severely. Bat with a pertina

DEAR_ STR---The Committee appointed by )ou, on
the 27th inst., to enquire into the cause, or causes,
which led to the late fatal explosion of a Steam
Scaler. in Jklletheny City, would ask leave to sub•
spit the alb:tering
That they have visited the premises, and made
their own observations; but not having atenority to
take depositions under oath, they hare made en
quiries of-those whom they could tied, who would
'titi most iikely to knew the 4cts in the case. Among
these were Mr. Andrew Fife, one of the owner., and
who.was running tho,Xligine at the time r of the ex
ploidoe; Mr. David Fife, who ee believe wits also
one of the owners, and in the factory at the time;
and'./. Rush, Esq., Mayor of Allegheny, who occu
pied the adjoining building with woollen machinery,
and his son, who was in the building at the time;
and several others, who were early on the ground,
or bid good opportunities of knowing some of the
particulars. And from all the information which
your Committee have been atts to collect, they be
lieve the facts in the case are as follow., viz:—
The boiler which exploded was thirty-six inches
diameter, and eighteen and a half feet long, without
flues. The shell, or cylindrical part, was made of
three-sixteenth iron, and the heads of cast iron, one
and an eighth and one and three-sixteenths of an
inch thick; the supply in the back end, near the
bottom ( the steam pipe and safety-valve on the top,
near the front; the man plate in the front, near the
front; and:three gauge cocks in the front, the lower
one of which was at the centre of boiler, or in a
horizontal lino across the centre—the other two
above it. The boiler supplied a steam engine, the
cylinder of which is Ms inches bore and thirty inches
stroke, which. propelled cotton machinery in the
building in which it stood, belonging to the Messrs.
Fife, and woolen machinery in the adjoining build
ing, beliongingto J. Rush, Esq.
The: 'Eugineer says that the explosion occurred
elect II o'clock, A. at.; that the engine was running
as flaunt; that he had just tried the middle cock, and
had fimnd water as usual ; and had just turned to go
out of the doer, for coal, when he felt himself forced
forward, and the house felling down about him.
It appears that the back head of the boiler was
forced nut, all at once ; leaving the flange or rim of
,the head„ riveted to the end of the tioiler, as it was ;
the head Went,directly back,,eeme.thirty feet, carry

topple forward upon the top of the h ouse, which
,danto down at the same time, but partly owing per
haps to the back wall of the house being forced out
by the lateral - pressure of the steam which lisued
from the back end of the boiler, as it passed forward;

The boiler in q ue stionut was made some 'nine

all is usual with river balers, andirt with another
on a small steamboat, where it exploded but three
months afterwards. It was then Wren ashore, the
flues and heads taken out, two new cast-iron heads,
and two new rings of Boiler iron in, and then put_
up as before discribed: No effect, however, of the
fernier explosion remained with the boiler, nor has
any part giveri way which was then in the boiler;
the whole boiler, indeed, is of good material and ,
workmanship, and had no fault„-ezcept that of bei
ing too light, especially in the beads for the error '
mons weights which was crowded upon It.
Pirmicaon, March 29, 1E49
ft EP OR IN
Two of the most important facts in the case a
this explosion your committee have not been able
to ascertain with .certainty ; tnat is the amount af
weight on the safety valve, and the supply of water
in the boiler. The very explosion itself, almost ne
cessarily destroying all evidence in the case; tear
inius, as usual in ouch cases, to conjecture upon
such circumstantial evidence as might be found.
The Engineer doubtliss thought there was water
at the second cock, as he had just tried it ; but far
more experienced Engineers have been deceived
by a show of water at first, where repeated trials, or
holding the gauge open for some time may show op
' ly blue steam.
The boiler has the appearance I having been
highly heated, but whether it was before or after it
was moved out of its place, your committee are
somewhat divided in opinion. It is not necessary,
however, in accounting for the explosion in this
case, to suppose ascarcity of water, as there is @effi
cient cause without.
It appears that machinery has been added on; in
various parts of the establishments, until the engine
was fairly overloaded ; and a gradual increase! of
steam raised until the hack head yielded ; which
was of itself sufficient to produce the result as we
found it ; without supposing the csiitence of soy
combustible or explosive gas, which may, nr may
not occur in similar cases, but which we think did
not in this.
. -
As to the amount of weight on the safety valve,
the Committee are quite uncertain. The persons
who put up and attended the engine, said they Were
carrying about city pounds, to the inch ; but per
haps, like most persons to that employment, , had
never made an accurate calculation, to he certain I
whether it wall so or not.
We found two safety weights 'plug together with
the safety valve, lever, chamber and fixture, but
neither of them And been on when the coginewas
in use in anether place ; and your Committee are
strongly inclined to the belief, from all the tes t imo•
ny and circumstance' in the case, that they were
both on at the time of the esplosion--althoogb this
is not admitted by some who ought to know. :Oise
of these weights was 3ltt lbs , and the other °II
the safety valve is tWa inches diameter scarif or
about three square inches arcs ; the last notch to
the lever is ten times the distance of the fulcivrn ;
the lever we did not weigh in position, but suppose
it would require thirty pounds to raise tt.
Our government nod require, boiler !mails, even
or thirty inch boilers to be one and n half inches
thick.
Your Committee would also even eauSion our
fel low.eraft, not to furnish boiler' of a lied or tem
porary kind ; although the owners may volunteer to
mistime all responsibility.
lo conclusion, your Committee would further rec
ommend to the Board of Trade, to use their influ
ence at the proper time, with the proper adthortiea,
to have such laws or jurisdiction extended over all
our land engine's, and now applies to our Marine en
gines. Respectfully,

The following is taken from the London Chroni
cle of the sth instant
TIIII,SANBIJINhIY BATTLE OF, CHILIANWILI.
BONDAY, Feb. 3, 1849:..
The intelligence by the present mail is of greater
interest and iinportanie than'any which bas for
years past been despatched from the shores of India.
A most sanguinary conflict hastakm place on the
bank of the Jhelum, nearly on the spot which
formed the battle-field of Alexander and Floras.;
and though the British have come off Victorious.
their triumph has been . purchased by a sad effusion
of blood—no fewer than 26 officers have been killed,
and 66 wounded, while 'nearly 2500 men were
slain or disabled. Amongst the officers who fell,
were Brigadier J. Pennycuick and Lieut. Col.
Brookes, of her Majesty's 24th foot, Maj. Eking,
Deputy Adjutant General, and other tliatinguished
names. But the slaughter which occurred was
perhaps not the worst feature of the engagement.
One of the cavalry brigades was struck with a
panic, and the unusual spectacle was presented of
a regiment of British dragoons flying from a na
tive foe. A Bengal cavalry corps (the 6th) fled
in great disorder. Moreover, we lost six guns,
only tour of which could be recovered. The Sikhs
were beaten from their positions before duslC..iiith
frightful carnage, and with the tom of twelve)guns,
besides others which were spiked ; ; but they soon
rallied, and took up another position on the left
bank of the river, firing a salute in the evening, as
though claiming the victory.
Our disastrous triumph was achieved on the 13th
of January. Lord Gough had originally intended
to await the fall of Moultan before encountering
Shere Singh ; but the delay in the capture of that
fortress having proved greater than was anticipa
ted, and there being rumors current that Chatter
Singh was on his way to join his son with large
' reinforcements, while the longdelay was evidently
producing an injurious effect on the native mind,
his lordship suddenly altered his determination,
and on the 11th inst. inspected the troops, amount
ing to about 22,000 men, with 195 or 130 guns,
and gave the order for a move advanteof their
encampment, which was situated about midway
between the Jhelum and the Cbenah. Whether
the decision to attack the enemy was at all influ
enced by instructions from the Governor General,
we are unaware ; but as Sir H. Lawrence (who
bad communicated to Lord Dalhousie the tidings
of the capture of the town of Moultan) arrived at
flit- Connander-in•Cbiefif cam, from Lahore, just

-1 sible such may have been the case. The troop'
marched on the morning of the 12th for Din;hee,
in the direction of the Jhelum lied, having halted
hele for the night, resumed their march next day,
when they soon came in sight of the enemy, They
I were now directed to form, and advance in - order
of battle. About 11 o'slock, A. M, the leading ;
column came upon one of the enemy's outposts,
a low, bare hill," and the heavy guns were or
dered forward, and soon clealld this place, the
enemy retreating with their artillery. The Sikh
army occupied a long line, extending from their
original position, called )leiong, to a place bearing
the name of RossooLor flussoolnugger, the latter
being a erring peer, where the enemy's magazines
acre established, and near which was a narrow
gorge, well adapted for retreat in ease of rheas - ter.
Lord Gough had at first intended to throw all his
strength spas it, and thus turn the enemy's flank,
aemtdrog to the plan usually adapted under such
circumstances. In an evil hour, however, he abets
,
doned this coarse. The Sikh position was seen to
i t be strong; the Jhelum vras-an the re-arta-oh a well
constructed bridge spanning its waters, and their
centre was protected by field works which had the
advantage of rough and funely group++. Between

The fightwas finally put an end to by the shades

The British force bivouacked on the night of.
the 13th alittle in,thejear,of theleld of battle.-t
The Sikhs withdrew 'to Nusiort", where they pie
ced their guns in the position` of a besieged force,
and, fired a salute—a rather odd combination of
measure! In the njght . ,.parties of•the enemy re.
turned to thebattle field, and carried cif!' the guns
which bad been spiked by- our troops; all the
wounded men found by the Sikhs were Murder
ed, and dead robbed and Mutilated. _ -
"They now , took up their quarters o f the heights
of Russool, watching the movements of Lord
Gough's army at the distance.of five miles, and in
daily hopes of receiving* accession to, their
strength., _Chutter Singh had not as yet joined
them, watching the turn of events. The 10,000
Sikh troops sent by Goolaub Singh, under Col.
Steinbach, co-operate with us r vvere only waiting
to see on which side victory should declare itself,
to attach themselves to the winning cause. The
commander-in-chief seemed to have been at first
utterly at a loss what was to be done- at first an
immediate retreat to•Dinghee was spoken of; but
as this would have been too unmistakable an ac-
knowledgment of unsuccess, he resolved at length
to entrench himself where he was, calling up
Wheeler's brigade of about 5,000 men engaged in
quelling disturbances in the Baree Doab, and sum
moning the 13 and 22 from Ramnugger, and her
Majesty's:s3 from Lahore; sending back, in ex.
change, the regiments that were disabled. Lord

had relinquished all the positions in which they
had been entrenched. The 'ruse' was of no avail.
For three days silence was successfully maintain

the force appeared in all the newspapers, bearing
so obviously the stamp of the highest authority.
that the despatches, when they do arrive, will
take a very secondary place in the rank of docu
ments. The baggage cattle had been under their
burdens for more that thirty hours before sufficient
leisure was found to attend to them. On the 17th
to European lancers who had "been taken prison
erg were returned to us; and the Sikh general of
artillery, with his two sons and a couple of other
men of note, are said to have surrendered on the
19th. Lord Gifford and Sir H. Lawrence quitted
the camp of Lord Gough for that of the governor
general on the 16th,. A field work had been
thrown up on the right! Major Tucker was to
succeed Major Ekins. Colonel Carnegy had
reached camp, and been appointed brigadier in
Pennycuick's room. Chutter Singh bad not, up
to the 20th—our latest date from camp—joined
his son; though daily expected. The weather was
delightful, and the spirits of the troops are said to
have greatly revived, The wounded are doing
well. The Sikhs are said to have lost 3,000 men
killed, and 3000 wounded—our casualties being
rather more than a third of this. The enemy were
busily engaged entrenching themselves ; they are
reported to be 30,000 strong."
The latest news from the camp of the army of
the Punjouh is thus given by one of our co'rresp>n
dents in a letter received this morning :
The mound taken by our troops on the 13th,
has been entrenched to the village of Chiliani on
the left, and to our camp on the right. Entrench.
merits for two regiments, right and left,and a bat

right, facing the north. Four lancers, who went
out on the 151 h, in search of the wounded, were
surprised by the en my. LAO of them escaped,
but the other two were made prisoners, and taken
to the presence of Shere Singh, who treated them
