the operation is repeated; and if it is still unnoticed,
and the heat is kept up, the machine will not reset it

It seems to the committee that, with such en 'sp
rings., boilers would not be in danger from the mere
evaporation of wilier, whether the vessel is under
way or at rest; and that the condition of the a attar must
be percepticle to any engineer of ordinary skill. Sup
pose the boat at the landing, the boilers cold, and the
water below the flues, and the fires are kindled: it is
manifest that, ns soon as the flue is heated above

boiling point, as before. In case of the lurching and
careening of steam-vessels—so liable, et we have sta
ted, to those rapid evolutions of steam—the prompt
operation of the indicator would throw up the safety
valves, and give full time to throw open the furnace
doors, and cool down the fires, long before the flues
could reach the high temperature at which they are
liable to create disaster. Again: the common safety
valve so much depended upon, becomes, as it is called,
gummed to its smithy glutinous material in the water,
so that its action is greatly impeded, and requires such
a force to raise it as to be a very unsafe indicator of
the state of the pressure on the boPers, and thus it
'beconseabut a dangerous dependance for relief; but to
the Invention in question, is an attachment of the
lever. so working on a fulcrum, as to jerk the valve
rap from its seat when relief is wanted, and by which
The weight on the lever only increases the force and
' certainty of the elevation of the valve. This gives
it a decided advantage over the ordinary safety
valvee. To this invention is also connected a sliding
valve, working by the ex; ansion and coneaction of
the tube and rod, intended to be applied particular
' ly to locomotive engines. This invention, showing
constantly and accurately, as it purports to do, the
mean temperature of the boilers, is of the greatest
importance GS a guide to the engineer in regulating
the firms and speed of the vessel, and procuring a
sternly and regular working of the machinery, and con
mquent saving of fuel.
But there is no instrument, however complete, to
which the dangerous power of steam can be en
tirely intrusted. The presence of skilful and atten
tive engineers is as necessary, and as much to be
relied on es ever; and it would be well for Congress
to watablish some modes and requisites to secure
the employment of skilful and competent engineers."

of University College., London, which I find in the

think satisfactorily accounts for the discrepancy, and
explains the difficulty.
he rule adopted in this country (England) for fin
ding Easter," says the writer, "is that of the Roman
Catholic Church, us established at what is called the
reformation of the Calendar by Pope Gregory XI 11,
in 1532. The authority for this rule is contained in
the papal brief of March Ist, 1532, in which reference
is made, for all explanations, to the then forthcoming
worth of the Jesuit Clavius, to whom both the ad
' justment and explanation of the calendar had been
entrusted. The British Parliament, in adopting the
rale of Clavius, made two mistakes in the explana
tion of that tide. Their explanation is, that Easter
Sunday is the Sunday after the full moon,which comes
on, or next after the 21st of March, and that if the full
moon fall on a Sunday, Easter Sunday is the next
Sunday.
"The two mistakes are RS follows: Ist. Instead ofl
"full moon" they should have said." fourteenth day of
the moon. the day of new moon being reckoned as the
first." That Easter, as well as the Passover, was al
wilt; regulated, notby the full moon. but by the four
teenth day of the moon, is of the utmost historical no- 1
toriety. And Clavius says that "none but a few who
fancy themselves sharp sighted, ever imagined that
the fo irteo tilt of the mo an-I the full moon were
the same in the Church of God." 2d. Instead of the
moon of the Heavens, they ought to have said, the

Interesting Question of Law Conveyancing.—
According to the learned authorities upon the subject
of conveyancing, a certain form of words is necessary
to be used; as for instance—lf a man would according
to law, give to another an orange, instead of saying,
' I gave to you that orange," which one would think
would be what is called in legal phraseology, "an abso
lute conveyance of all right and title therein," the
phrase mug. run thus: "I give you all and singular
my estate and interest, right, title and claim, and ad
vantage of and in that orange, with the rind, skin,
juice, pulp, and pips, and all right and advantage
therein with full power to bite, cut, suck or eat the
! same, or give the same away, as fully and effectually
as I, said A. B , am entitled to bite, cut, suck or give
the name away, with or without its rind, skin, juice,
pulp and pips, and anything heretofore or hereinafter,
or in any other deed or debts, instrument or instru
ments, or of whatever nature or soever. to contrary
in any wise notwithstanding."
The omission of any of these words would, it is
gravely held, prevent the right to said orange. passing
to the person for whose use it is intended; but provi
ded the orange be eaten during the delivery of these
words, the law does not point out any means by which
tho eater can be divested of his right, as it conflicts
with the fundamental principle, that possession is nine
parts of the law.
Dr. Herschell an Organist —Dr Herschell, the
celebrated astronomer, was originally intended for his
father's profession--music—and accompanied a Ger- '
man regiment to England, as one of the band, per
forming on the hautboy. On the occasion of electing
an organist of the Church of Halifax, (in England,) be
so completely astonished the builder and hearers, as
to obtain the situation at once. Herschel! being
asked by what means he produced so astonishing an
effect, replied—"l found my fingers alone would net
bompete with some of the other candidates; so I laid
one of these (producing two pieces of lead from his
weiscoat pocket) on the lower key of the organ and
the other on the octave above; and thus, by se-Immo
' dating;the harmony, I produced the effect of four band),
instead of two."
