Newfoundland Papers to thesllth ult. mention that
the scarcity of provisions was no longer felt. There
had been extensive arrivals of provisions from Hali-
fax and from Ireland. The Royal Gazelle of the 17th
of May mentions that his Excellency, Genetal Lord
DaLtiouste, Governor of Halifax, adopted measures
immediately to afford relief, and that they were car-
ried into effect in the most prompt manner by Cap-
tain 13aLowiN, of his Majesty's ship FLY; every Offi-
cer attached to Government using the greatest fief.
tion to alleviate their wants. The Papers of the 3d
and 10th June mention the arrival of every descrip-
tion of prdvisions, and pass high .encomiums en his
Majesty's Officers,. who were the first to afford aid.
Friday night last an explosion took prsce on board
the Fly, BROWN, of Ely, which bad just been laden
with coals at Mr. BLANDLING'S staith, in the river
Tyne. The hatclos were fastened down about eight
o'clock, and about half-past eleven, the Master hav-
ing been writing in his cabin, the inflammable gas
from the coal having, it appears, found its way from
the hold, ignited at his candle as he was going
to bed, and exploded. The Master was seriously
scorched, but is recovering. kis brd•curtains were
set on fire; the hatches were burst open, and a boat
which was upon them thrown off. Two planks on
the deck were blown up. The other men on board
were in bed, and received no hurt, excepting the
Mate, who was thrown out of bed, and his toes a
little burnt, and his whiskirs singed off. The Ire.
quency of these accidents of late, shews the impru-
dence of immediately fastening down the hatches
upon a cargo of fresh coals, as they emit the gas for
some time after they are raised from the mine.
STEAM-BOATS—The Regulations recommended by
the Committee of the House of Cammons appointed
to consider of the means of preventing the mischief
arising from explosion on board Steam-Boats are as
follow

" That NI Steam Packets carrying pauengars for hire should
be registered at the port nearest the place from or to which
they proceed.
" That all boilers belonging to the engines by which such
vessels shall be worked should be composed of wrouLt iron or
copper.
" That every bailor en board each Steam Packet should, pre-
vious to the Packet being used for the conveyance of passengeis,
be submittell to the Inpection el a skilful engineer, or other per-
son conversant with the subject who should ascertain, by trial,
the strength of such boiler, and should certify his opinion of ha
sulficient strength, and of the security with which it might be
employed to the eaten( proposed.
" That every such boiler shot:l4'hr provided with two Juni-
tient safety valve, one of which should be inaccessible to the
d engiue Man, and m ether accessible both to him sod to the per-
sons on boas d the packet. •
" 1 hat the Inspector shall ramble such safety va;vee, and
shad certify what is the pressure at which such safety valves
shall open, winch pressure shall not record one-third of that by
which the boiler has bevu proVed,negoisessivh of that which by
calculation it shall be reckoned able to socalo.
