Much attention has recently been directed to the
invention BY Mr.. RAUB, of Washington, d. {. of
mechanical apparatus for the prevention OF the
explosion of steam boilers. From the time of the
first practical application of condensed yapor to the
propulsion of vessels, and particularly since the
more modern and vest improvements made therein,
in all other respects than this beth by mathematical
calculations and empirical discoveries, for it cannot
be denied that much is sometimes due to the blind
essayings of the inexpers,) the attainment OF some
mode of security Of this nature has been most anx-
ioasly desired. We have discovered the almost in
csculable potency Of steam and have reduced it to
q asubservience, although upon the whole infinitely
beneficial, nevertheless (t must be coniessed) not
g lis,le precarious and dangerous. AS an absolute
remedy against those fearful disasters occurring SO
repeatedly upon our waters, from the cause above
auded to, it is confidently asserted that this con-
triyance is perfect And, from the testimonials
given in relation TO 1t by the Government and other
Engineers of almos, all the numerous sseam.vesseis
plsing to and from this City, published in The
Tribune Of the a5th instant, we presume there IS
no doubt of its complete efficacy. To whom shall
We look for practical and satisfactory information
on this subject but to our Engineers? And their
decided opinion having been unesuivocaliy eS-
pressed, j, will, we trust, be sufficient TO cause the
universal adoption of this apparatus by the pro
prietors Of steamboats, as q matter as well OF pc
Canary profit as of peremptory dafy 10 'l'e 'rsSe
Ing portion of our community.


In fact if this invention be of that Importance to
the safety of vessels (Which we do not doabt) as
sitesed by so many of our practical men ana most
experienced Engineers, the travelling pubic viii
net only extend their patronage TO those owners OF
sienboats who have the philanthrepyto to take every
mssns in their power to prevent the horrible oe-
siruction of human life by the explosion OF steam
boilers but they will insist that aa such means De
sdopsed, and win hesitate TO travel by any convey
aRcs the owners of which refuse neglect TO adopt
every possible means for their safety against DIS
sster and destruction.


E DR.. Buchanan has been lecturingon Neuro-
Icy IN Albany. A correspondent OF the Evening
lOarnal-said by the Editor 10 be an 'intaiilgent
sentleman'-wrisss that st the close of his second
lecture he gentleman operated on publicly de-
ssasea that SO far as the experiments upon him
were concerned The whole subject was a farce
shat ne had never been put to sleep and that all the
Effects said 10 be produced by manipulation DC.
