THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.
,Th (From the Morning Post of yesterday.)
Conti New New Currency Bill.is virtually carried ; and the
t7e nuental scale of prices has been recognised as the
e of prices best fitted for the meridian of England.
borr'''l: Robert Peel's currency scheme is, confessedly,
osned wholesale from Mr. Jones Loyd, one of the
kith'' rampant of the advocates of free trade in corn—
elloh, as Mr. Gisborne slily remarked, not a free-
trader in his own. business of banking. Mr. Charles
r, indeed, complimented the Minister on having
713ted the doctrines of the " Political Economy Club"
hGtae basis of his legislative measures, and expressed a
orPe th'.3 a repeal of the corn-laws (as to the expediency
which all the members of the Club" in question
Ba-
ronet agreed) might be the next of the Right Hon. s reforms.
Mr• Charles Buller's wish might have been spared.
p!'ee,.corn-laws are, in effect, abolished by Sir Robert
Is new currency measure. Under the action of that
prices in England must be forced down to the
tir:e"nental level. The corn-laws must, therefore, in all
Will t° Come, prove inoperative. Their specific repeal
~,,Ithilleseessa:screeleytrbaedetrh.ought necessary by even the most
kr. n Ministerial measure was opposed, last night, by
by tr awes; by Mr. Hastie, by Mr. Charles Buller, and
km tr. Gisborne—all of them unflinching free traders,
la, staunch supporters of the principles of the money
th'r' °f 1819- Yet even these honourable gentlemen

fory,-e", in the Bank Charter project. The fears, there-

all the triumphs which, under the auspices of Sir
Hobertourr Peel, the free traders have achieved, this on the
ItoricY question is, beyond comparison, the greatest.

ke-ntil Whoport the Minister, but how country gentle-

DREADFUL
STEAM-BOAT COLLI-

TWO LIVES LOST.
et4,n early hour on the morning of Thursday, a collision,
o`ted with a melancholy loss of life, occurred on the river
v?e,a Reach, 'eight miles below Gravesend, by the Ant-

fea.riTack called the Maria, which, in consequence of the
15jet, character of the concussion, was literally dashed to,

clock the Antwerpen was observed bearing up the
tlikr-, for London, the Maria then lying-to, about mid

hql,',ing about making a haul, the Antwerpen appa-
`aoss" uearing down upon them. Peneford called out to
the °n board to port their helm, and from signs made by
