" There has been much written, and much said in regard tq the subjectof steam boilers, and their management; and Congress has been me tnorialixed time and again, nnd has passed sun dry laws; Intended to check the eTil and protect 1 the Jives and property of our citiiens : from, the fearful loss to which they are constantly ex posed; with what avail, .the daily: account of dis asters which reach ns from every quarter, is the best answer. ’ Mr. Guthrie, “ believing that somo; ono .com ' petentto investigate the causes which produced these frequent explosions, and capable of devi : sing some plans to prevent , them, should step forward and make on effort to accomplish an ob ject so desirable to all;” and believing, himself from bis position os an engineer of practical ex perience, tho individual to accomplish this pur- in the cause end passed four teen months in the pursuit, eight of which, were spent on the Mississippi audits tributaries, the result of which is the pamphlet in question, a dna deplmo of 38 pages and 13 plates. ’ Mr. Gnthric has enumerated; the numerous causes of explosions, and illustrated them by some loosely gathered facts, and some supposed coses; inwhicli wo find little that is new in prior oiple.- The main defects,, and the proposed rerae -1 dies wo giro below, in full, as these ore the gist Of the whote matter. Hib investigations leads • him to the belief thot boilers are hot exploded by hydrogen gosßcs; bat that they arc mainly ow ing to too much pressure for tho strength, of the boiler, sometimes caused by a sudden generating of steam with low water and overheated flues, ajtd sometimes by undue pressure, from n gra dual accumulation of Bteam while there is plen ty of water in the boilers. We hero give Mr. Guthrie's Recapitulation of the principal emus (aiding to produce explosions oftteam boi!ert.~ lst.

Now, bow can be make a machine so complicated and uncertain as his Indicator cer tainly would be, evidence do condemn and dll” charge an engineer? Wo dissent from many of Mr. Guthrie's posi tions, but do gqs deem it necessary- to discos# them further, at this time. We can only say, that it wouidbc very unsafofoeCongress to make his observations the bnsis of legislation to pre vent the evils which he has sketched;- that.it would be productive of serious and lasting inju ry to our commercial interests, which would eventually bring the law into disrepute, and like the present, become worse than useless, by inspiring a confidence which is not warranted. .! There ore roany others bcsiilo Mr, G. now at the scat of Government,, exerting themselves to procure the passage of laws to correct;those evils; and some, we know, arc possessed of ac knowledged scientific and practical qualifica tions; and wo are willing to admit that Mr. 0. has shown that ho is scientific and practical; yet in a case where there aro so many interests at stake, and so many and difficult problems to be solved, the public will never bcsotSsficd witli any legislation based upon any otbor than the most careful and patient investigation upon the spot oftho best talent that can boproaured of n prac tical and scientific character. Those icngagod In traffic upon our riveraore justly jealous of their rights, somsny inventions have been contrived which had in slow the remo dy ot known defects, and winch inventions lave proved impracticable, that they look with suspi cion upon everything nett, especially upon legis lation which is designed to compel the adoption or any new invention.: There exists many preju dices amongst our engineers and others, founded upon n Bupcrfici.il investigation of causes, with out sufficients elementary scientific knowledge, which aro difficult to overcome; and there also exists a very wide discrepancy fn the slntcmcnls of feels, in regard to explosions especially where the best'ftnd-almost only competent: witnesses never live to give their evidence.- The only method by which tbeso prejudices could ho overcome, and all. interests, guarded, would he by moans ofa commission, appointed by Congress of tho best talent in the country— 'say such men aa It. Col. Xong, of the. army, Xocko,of Cin., and some other professional man or men of equal attainments and experience, let them call to their assistance such “practical -men ns may assist in their; investigations, some well known river Captain, and say James Thompson and Wm. Barnhill, -of this city, or. others—let tho commission so constituted take the testimony of Captains, Engineers, Pilots, and other witnesses on the ground; examine tho boats that arc run ning, and the wrecks of those that aro.des troyed where they can- get at them; let them experiment upon the.differcnt qnalities of iron, both new and old; experiment upon boilers, ex- . amine plans for guages of every description that maybe submitted to them,. and collect impor tant facts, that may have been heretofore pub lished;- let the. facts which the. commission would collect be laid before Congress, together with such conclusions and suggestions as they might prepare; and our word for it, tho. com misssion wouldmeet with the hearty co-opera tion of everyman connected with the river trade, and Congress would possess data which would enable them to legislate understandlngly and sat isfactorily; protecting alike tho Interests , of tho trader and the.lives of passengers, . Such data would likewise be of incalculable value to the public, famishing reliable and sat isfactory evidence of much that is now uncertain and vogue; it would also give valuable scicntifio information, which should go side by side with practical Information, * We trust and pray that Congress will act in this matter, and promptly.; ■ and. that. they will not; adopt any course less thorough than the one . re commended, for if they do, it will be like the mo ney expended in printing Mr. Guthrie's memori al, labor ia vain. MOSEY MATTERS, We have very little to say this week in regard to money- matters. All the information wo have ■ received from* home .ondahroad.goes to show that mcnoy is becoming plenty.

The citizens of Hamburg and vioinity,; in Clark county, have been kept in n state of wonder and excitement for several days past. The spiritof Washington has boen raised and interrogated. In answer to in quiries, ho stated that he thought that the affairs of Government were very well conducted at pres ent, nndthnt tho modut operandi was sotiafnetory .to him in every respect; Id Tegard to Presiden tial matters, ho stated that tho next occupant of the White House would ho Whig- 110 also an swered several other questions whioh were doubt less satisfactory to his hearers. Tho question of who will bo tbe next I’rffiidont, is now, ofconrso settled —N, Albany. Tribune. ; A; Mothwi’s Tsaus.—Thoro is a touching sweetness in a mother’s tears when they fall up on the face of her. dying babe, which no cyo can behold without imbibing its inflncnoo, Upon such hallowed ground tho foot of profanity dares not approach. - Infidelity itself is silent and for bears its scoffiogs. And hero woman displays not herweaknoss, hut her strength; it is that strength of attachment which can never in its full intensity be realized. It is 1 perennial, de pendant upon no climate, no changes— out alike instormand sunshine—it knows no shadow of turning. A father when he secs his child going down to the dork-valley, will weep whon the shadow of death haa fully, came over him; and as the last parting knell falls on ids ear, lie may say, ‘ I go down to the grave of my son mourn ing.!-;; But the of business draws him away; the tear is wiped from his eye, and if, when he tnrns from his fireside, tho vacancy in tho family circle reminds him of his loss; the succeeding day blunts.tho poignancy of .his grief; until at length it finds no permanent seat in his breast. Sot so with her who.haa borne and nourished the tender blossom. It lives in -the heart where it was first entwined in - the dream ing hours of night, She secs -itsplayful mirth or hoars its plaintive cries, she seeks it in the morning, and goes to., the. grieve to weep there. “ A good wife,” Says a western editor, “ is one who puts her husband attho Bide of the - bed next the wali, and tucks him up to keep, warm in thewinter, eplita-the wood, makes the; fire in the morning, washes her husband’s face, 1 and draws on bis .boots for him; never soolds, never snffore a rent to remain in her. husband’s small clothes, keeps her shoes up- at the heel, and her stockings darned, never wonders what her husband sees interesting in the young woman who-livcs across the way;- never slams the door loud when her husband is speaking; and always reproves their children wheu they cat their felh-, er’s sapper.” Wise men ore instructed by reason; men of less understanding by experience ;• the most Igno rance by necessity; and brutes by nature. * # ; ID* I’rotliotiot ary.—Tlie underalgnml respect fully -ir.-r; himSelfas* candidate fortbO,GMevrpL.Pr<»..,. llionuUt, y. sulijccl tr ika decision of the nCXlWhig aoi Auumv.onic Contention „ , , agitJ-dSwie- 1 , < .
