Fusible plugs in the side of the boiler, which give way when a certain heat is attained, and allow the steam to escape. 2. Valves which open when the pressure becomes excessive, and allow exit to steam, which blows an alarmwhistle. The first depend upon temperature, the second upon pressure. Pressure and temperature bear a certain ratio to each other. 1. Ashcroft's patents of March 19, 1850, and February 18, 1851, refer to methods for the protection and insulation of the plug which is destined to give way at a certain temperature and relieve the boiler.

Mr. Paulding's letter reached him on his death bed, only a few days before his dissolution. Hyde Park, Duchess county, March 19, 1850. My Dear Sir: I have received and read your speech with the deepest interest and attention. It traces the present crisis to its source, and points out the means of avoiding its consequences with perfect clearness, without declaration and without passion. It appeals to our reason and asks only justice. It will not perhaps be so much praised as some others; but hereafter when its predictions will be fulfilled, as I presume they will be are long, unless the spirit of fanaticism is
