GREAT REDUCTION IN THE
PRICE OF
• • "THE SUN,"

FROM
FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY

TO
FOURPENCE.
FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sten, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-
ing, together with the List of Army and,
Navy Promotions in the London, Gazette,
with Official 'Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Coinmercial News, List of Bankrupts,
&0., &c., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Pot-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places
-unless the Postmaster-General have the
nagrianimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.

LONDON, TUESDA.Y, AUGUST 14, 1855.

The crimes of the House of Hapsburo, are of a
complexion never to be forgiven. They are' un-
redeemed by any admixture of good, or by a single
spark of magnanimity. Great States have fer-
tilised the countries they conquered, and, in pallia-
tion of the cruelties which marked their victorious
career, have left, in a higher civilisation, lasting
traces of their physical and intellectual superiority.
But Austria has conquered only to debase and
destroy. Her career has been that of an Arrira,
but more inglorious, as she has made her way by
every species of fraud, combined with every species
of secret persecution. The readers of her annals
are puzzled to say which quality has been most

prominent in the character of her government—

cowardice or cruelty. She has been by, turns
fawning and treacherous to rival States, but to
- the unhappy people stibject to her yoke she has
been uniformly tyrannical and merciless. With
a refinement of cruelty which it belongs only to the
1111fritieit of all Governments to exercise, she has
