Sunday forenoon the boiler of the steam-boat
Corsair, which plies between Belfast and Liverpool, burst
with tremendous violence just as it was about to start.
from the quay of Belfast. The cause of the explosion has
not yet transpired, but it is supposed to have been owing
to the pipe which conveys the waste steam from the safety
valve being too small for that purpose. The engineer was
thrown down three several times by the force of the explo-
sion, and his body is so dreadfully- lacerated that no hopes
were entertained of his recovery when the Fingal, which
has brought this intelligence, left Belfast. A passenger,
who was below has also suffered very severe injury, hut
not to such an extent.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 17th May, 1828.
At a General Meeting of Coal-owners of the River Tyne,
held this day,
ROBT. W. BRANDLING, Esq. in the Chair.
The following petition was agreed to, and resolved to be
presented to the Nouse of Commons, as the petition of the
Coal-owners of the River Tyne : and it was also resolved,
that all persona interested in the trade of the Tyne, who
approve of the prayer of the petition, be invited to sign it;
that it lie at the Exchange for signatures, and be published
in the Newcastle and Durham newspapers.
To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled,
The petition of the undersigned Coal-owner s and others
interested in the trade of the Port of Newcastle,
HUMBLY SIIEWETII,
That for a long time promissory notes for small sums
have formed the chief circulating medium, and that your
petitioners have found them extremely convenient in carry-
ing on their concerns, and are apprehensive that the prohi-
bition against issuing any below five pounds after the sth
April, 1529, will be attended with much inconvenience to
the northern counties, and particularly to your petitioners
and those employed by them.
That your petitioners do not expect that any partial in-
convenience, if confined to themselves, or even this parti-
cular district, would induce Gov.2rntnent to propose the
repeal of an Act, were it likely to prove generally benefi-
cial; but your petitioners are firmly of opinion that this
deviation from the freedom of trade cannot possibly produce
any permanent general benefit to the country, and cannot
be justified lay any sound principles.
Your petitioners hued that Government
ought not to interfere the private dealings of indivi-
duals, except for the purpose of preventing fraud, or faci-
litating the operations of exchange, and then no further
than is absolutely necessary for accomplishing these pur-
poses; and your petitioners contend that this clear prin-
ciple ought to be applied to the paper, as well as the me-
tallic currency.
That in the opinion of your petitioners, much of the
confusion and contrariety of opinion that has arisen respect-
ing the currency, has proceeded from not considering the
metals, whether coined or uncoined, as mere articles of
merchandize, and front Government having acted under
the impression that they were called upon to regulate the
metallic currency by establishing some standard, and
that it was their duty to engage in the endless and unpro-
fitable labour of endeavouring to fix the relative value of
the different sorts of coin at all times to each other; where-
as your petitioners humbly contend, that all which Go-
vernment ought to be requested to do, and all which it
can prudently and safely attempt to do, is to affix to each
coin, under whatever name it may pass, (in addition to any
other precautionary device), a stamp describing the exact
quantity of metal contained in such coin, so as to enable
private dealers to adjust, with additional facility, the value
of such coins as compared with each other, and with all
other kinds of exchangeable property.
Your petitioners moreover humbly contend, that the
same principle ought to be attended to should Government
interfere with the paper currency; and should the names
of the issuers upon small notes not be deemed sufficient
evidence of value to protect the public, that such protection
might be afforded by regulating, without abolishing, a cir-
culating medium, confessedly both safe and useful in the
hands of prudent and honest men.
Your petitioners moreover contend, that the peculiar
situation of this country, with a national debt contracted
to he paid in gold, or in such part of the produce of the
capital and industry of the country as the public creditor
may be willing to accept, the value of which is to be
measured by gold, any act on the part of Government,
tending to enhance the price of gold, is evidently impru-
dent, and your petitioners confidently maintain, that,
forcing the circulation, and thereby extending the use of
geld, must produce that cffect, and that this effect must
continue as long as the compulsory system is continued.
That your petitionets moreover contend, that there is no
difference in the situation of the northern counties of Eng-
land and the southern counties of Scotland, that can call
for a different system respecting the circulating medium,
and that if the circulation of small notes is convenient
and beneficial to trade in Edinlaurgh and Leith, that it is
not possible that they can be inconvenient and prejudicial
in Newcastle and Shields.

Your petitioners therefore humbly pray, that the Act
against the ham, of small notes may be repealed, and that
your Honourable House may take such other measures in
lieu thereof as to your wisdom may seem best.
And your petitioners will ever pray, &v.

General BERTRAND, last Grand Marshal of
the Court of NAPOLEON, has married his daughter to the
son of a rich American, proprietor of the Passage des Pa-
noramas. The marriage festival was brilliant, and full
of interest. The young bride is one of the most beautiful
women that can he seep, and the recollections of St. He-
lena gave additional interest to her charms. The small but
charming house in which the
,company met, to which a
wooden hail bad beers added, nad been the habitation of
BUONAPAILTE. From it he had set out, at the age of 26,
to conquer Italy. From it, likewise, after some months of
repose, he had departed for Egypt, to plant the tri-colour
on the Pyramids. In these two small saloons, in that little
garden, he had planned the 18th Brumaire, and there was
the floor which he trod the last time on the morning follow-
ing that memorable day when he went to take possrs,ion of
the Palace of Kings, and to encircle his head with the Im-
perial diadem, Paris Zetto.

Sir WM. ROWLEY presented several petitions from
Kirkham, iialt.nham, Eastham, Hadleigh, and other
places, in favour of the Abolition of Slavery.
Mr. HALSE presented a petition from the inhabitants
of the Borough of St. Ives, relative to the Small Note Act.
Mr. BROWNLOW gave notice that on the 2d of June
he should present a petition from the society for the im-
provement of Ireland. The Hon. Member also gave notice,
that on the sth of June, he should move for leave rs bring
in a Bill, relative to the Draining of Bogs and Waste Lands
in Ireland.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Ifindoo, Persee,
and other native inhabitants of Bombay, praying that
the House would take their case into its consideration.
About two years ago a Bill passed through that House
enabling them to sit as jurors on trials. For this conces-
sion they felt extremely grateful, but they at the same time
regretted that there was a clause in that Bill which con-
siderably lessened their satisfaction. This clause was
added when the Bill had nearly passed through its various
stages, very much against his (Mr. Muncie's) wish ex-
pressed at the time, and was to the effect that only those
natives who were Christians should be allowed to serve on
grand juries. This was a great hardship for the persons
who signed the petition, who could command millions
of money, while those who were Christians were not
at all so reputable in point of wealth or character.
and yet they could serve on grand juries, while the former
were excluded.
After a few words from Lord ASHLEY and Mr.
TEA NT, the petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUME gave notice that, on the sth of June he
should move for a revisal of the Civil List, as regarded
pensions, with a view to the reduction of the expenditure.
Mr. DAVENPORT presented a petition from the Silk
Weavers of Chester, praying for protection against the
importation of foreign manufactured goods.
Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Bodmin, in Cornwall, relative to the Small
Note Bill.
Mr. DAWSON moved for an account of the number of
Exchequer Bills issued and charged to the account of the
year 1828, which were still unprovided for.
Mr. HUME wished for an explanation, if the Right
Hon. Gentleman was prepared to give it, of the circum-
stances which caused the issue of one million of Exchequer
Bills upon one and the same day, and to one individual.
The Right Hon. Gentleman gave no answer.
Mr. DAWSON moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
license hotel-keepers to retail beer, &c. as common ale-
houses, for the remainder of the present year.—Leave given.
The lion. Gentleman then presented a petition from
the Grand Jury of the city and county of Londonderry,
calling the attention of the House to the laws relating to
Grand Jury presentments in Ireland. He likewise pre-
sented a petition from the High Constables of London-
derry, stating that the Jury Bill imposed on them addi-
tional labour ; and therefore praying for increased re-
muneration.
A petition was presented from the Catholics of Ennis,
praying that they may not be assessed for the fiapport 01
the Established Church.
HACKNEY-COACH LICENCES.
- - -

Mr. HUME had been intrusted with a petition from
he Hackney-coach Proprietor, of the Metropolis, com-
plaining of the injustice aid partiality of the Hackney-
coach-office Commissioners in the distribution of Cabriolet
Licences, and praying that their office might be abolished.
It was their habit to give many licence for driving cabrio-
lets to one person to the prejudice of the old-established
and respectable proprietors, who had made this business the
occupation of their whole life. Twelve such licences, it
appeared, had been granted to a banker and a barrister,
whose rank in society should have placed them above such
an employment, Out of 100 licences, 48 were issued to
three proprietors. Under those circumstances, they prayed
for the total abolition of the Hackney-coach-office ; and he
was of opinion that a compliance with their prayer would
be a desirable saving to the country. It caused an expen-
diture of 10,000/., and might be dispensed with altogether,
without the public suffering inconvenience from the re-
trenchment Among the other grievances which coach-
owners complained of, they stated that the public might
prefer any charges at the Hackney-coach-office, whereas
they were obliged to apply to the police.
M
S Oisi saidsystem
that
in to t

metropolis, personcqttAinted with
the hackney-coach
irwould ap-
pear sufficiently
necessary that the public required some
check on the proprietors, and such a security was afforded
ii. EIA"
by the office in question. All the blame, he thought, was
attributable to coach-mastery themselves. They were very
neglectful of their business, and frequently treated the public
with great disrespect. He would ask any person who Lad
observed the cabriolets, established under the new system,
whether they were not a hundred times better than the
others, and whether the public did not give them the pre-
flear, hear.
).,There h )---There was, he knew, another
view which might be taken of this subject. It might be
deemed advisable to throw the trade open all together.—
(Hear.)—Fie would not at present express an opinion on
that point, because he thought it proper to wait to awertain
how the new system would answer.
Sir J. NEWPORT thought that the hackney-coach
board had proved itself inefficient, and ought to be abolished.
Mr. Alderman WOOD understood that the hackney-
coach proprietors had presented a memorial to the Treasury,
praying that they might be allowed to establish another class
of cabriolets, of quite a new construction.
Mr. HUME hoped that some Member who could afford
the necessary time would move for a Committee on the

subject.
APPROPRIATION OF PUBLIC MONEY.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR gave notice that, on the 14th of
June, be would move for a return of all sums of money
paid by the Commissioners for settling the French Claims
to the Commissioners of Woods sad Forests ; stating the

Mr. BARING complimented the general intelligence
I of his /lon. Friend who had presented the petition, but ob-
served, that he had greatly exaggerated the facts and mis-
taken the arguments on the present occasion. His own
impression was, that so far from finding relief in any tam-
pering with the circulation, the evils complained of had
chiefly arisen from having tampered with it too much.—
He was aware that many difficulties, rather of a general
nature, might be apprehended from the present system,
but he hoped that the Government would persevere in a
course which was the only one under which they could re-
cover its energies.
Mr. HITME expressed his satisfaction that the Go-
vernment had yielded to the wishes of Scotland, and wished
that they had done the same with respect to England. He
thought that before long this country must come to a
sound paper-currency convertible immediately into gold.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCUEQUER did not
rise to provoke any discussion, but merely to explain the
grounds upon which he had postponed his Bill to a future
day. An Hon. Baronet had intimated to him, that it
would he desirable if he were to bring in the Bill, post-
poning the discussion to a future stage, but many other
Gentlemen were unwilling that it should pass through a
single stage without discussion; and as they would not be
Present on that night, he had agreed to postpone it alto-
gether to a future day.
Mr. DUNDAS observed, that all they wanted in Scot-
land was, to be allowed to prosper in their own way, and
the Government had liberally acquiesced in their desire.
Mr. MONCK denied that the plan of making the notes
immediately convertible into gold would operate as secu-
rity against excessive issues. The only security they could
have in returning to a paper currency again, would be the
adoption of another Bank Restriction Act.
Mr. ATTWOOD said a few words in reply, after which
the petition was brought up, and ordered to lie on the
table.
REGISTRATION OF VOTERS IN CITIES AND
BOROUGHS.
Lord NUGENT said, that the principal objects for
which he introduced his present Bill were comprised in a
very few words. One of the merits, as he hoped, of the
measure which he was now asking leave to introduce to
the House—and if it had not that merit he had misapplied
the pains and trouble which he had bestowed upon it—one
of its merits was, that the Bill was not a long one, that
the provisions of it were simple and intelligible, that it
was calculated to work out its own object, and that all it
aimed at might be easily effected. The chief object of it
was to give to all cities, boroughs, and cinque ports, in
England—lreland and Scotland he specifically excepted out
of its operation—a register containing the names and de-
scriptions of all persons who had a legal right to tender
their votes for the election of Mipjuers to serve in Parlia-
ment for those places. He was ully aware that nothing
was more distasteful to the Nouse than to enter into a dis

cussion of the abstract principles of representation; he
should therefore abstain from saying eveu a word upon that
L subject; but though such was his determination, he
could not help remarking, that whatever might be th•
views of gentlemen en the abstract theory of represen-
tation (or he should rather say the machinery of re-
presentation), there could be no good gained in prac-
tice by the concealment of the numbers or qualifica-
tions of those who had a right to vote at elections for cities
and boroughs. There was no tenable ground on which it
wag desirable that either the candidates or the returning
officers, or the voters themselves, shauld he left in ignorance
of the numbers and qualifications QM different voters. Whe..
Cher gentlemen were inclined to favour the influence of pro •
perty, or whether they were inclined to favour the influ-
ence of population, in regard to elections, in neither case
were they left uncrippled by being totally ignorant of the
numbers and qualifications of those who exercised the elec-
tive franchise. Indeed, he apprehended that there were
only one or two objects that could be answered by refusing
his present motion ; and he did not expect that gentlemen
would rise up in that House to advocate either of them.—
One of them would be to continue in the hands of a set of
countrys to
