Me 'propriflor 4 evening ness to whose
iilbi'L,si)b.itect exertions we alluded last week, fulfilled his
engagement with the public almost to the letter! The
dinner took place at Glasgow at half-past five. in,9!e.pFn-
ing ; and by the time that the '1=0;74, tl.',:tuiVing,
eight fuila hsic type (with abundant ma-
!ei•m6l-6 in the reporters' copy) was taken, the hour
'of midnight must have been exceeded before the despatch
started for London. And yet., incredible as it may ap-
pear, within one hour after midnight on Sondas-, the !:,lpy
was in the printers' hands, an,l it: a fb, botirs altterwards,
the paper wan again expressed to all parts of England,
reaching Bath by half.past six on Sunday evening—a dis-
tance of more than 500 miles from the spot where the re.,
port was taken.—. Bull: Herald.

The subjoined report of Sir Robert Peel's speech at this
dinner, is copied 41 lull length from The Sun London
Parr, the proprietor of which Journal, by extraordinary
and we believe unparalleled exertions, received in London
at half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning, an fteenunt of
the proceedings at the Glasgow dinner on Friday evening,
the distance between the two places being about 400 miles!
In the course of the morning an edition of The Sun was
published (containing a report of more than eight columns
in extent.), and immediately transmitted by express to all
parts of the kingdom.—Coventry Herald.
WONDERFUL DISPATCII.—...TIIC enterprising proprietor
of The Suit newspaper in his efforts to put the public as
early us possible in possession of the speech of Slr Robert
Peel, at the Glasgow banquet, has outdone all his fntitiet•
exertions, great and extraordinary as these exertions are ac-
knowledged to be. The distance from Glasgow to London
is about four hundred miles. The Sun express must have
left somewhere about ten o'clock on Friday, night ; and in
eight and twenty hours after, it arrived in town, travelling
this immense distance at the incredible speed of fifteen miles
an hour. By fir 6 o'clock, eight columns of the speech was
in type, printed off, and re-expressed to every quarter of the
kingdom, arriving in Birmingham at an early hour in the
evening. These exertions, we doubt not, will be appreciated
in the manner they deserve by the country.—Birmingham
Philanthropist.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The account of the grand
banquet to Sir Robert Peel was received in this town early
on Monday morning through the expresses which have, on
all similar extraordinary occasions, been employed by the
proprietor of The Sun. The particulars of the speeches,
although London is 400 miles from Glasgow, were actually
received in Birmingham in forty-eight hours after they were
delivered—an instance of extraordinary dispatch, in printing
and travelling, never before equalled in this kingdom, and
for which the thanks of the public are due to Mr. Murdo
Young, the proprietor.—Stockport Advertiser.
The speech of Sir Robert Peel at Glasgow, on Friday
night, was transmitted to us by express, on Sunday, by the
proprietor of The Sun Paper. The accuracy with which
the oration is reported, in the midst of such incredible speed,
is wonderful. Our copy of the paper was mischievously
intercepted by parties in Shrewsbury.—Shrewsbury Chron.
Amongst the many instances of activity on the part of
the Metropolitan press in furnishing the public with the
earliest information, none stand in a more forward position

Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND'S speech was little, if
at all, inferior to Lord MORPETII'S, being just as
sound—just as straight-forward—just as bold and ex-
plicit in its declarations. Sir GEORGE, we see, is in
favour of a Reform of the House of Lords. Here is
another convert made by the events of the last Session !
How grateful ought we not to be to Lord LYND-
HURST for haying secured us such an accession of
strength to the cause of Peerage Reform ! Pray
Heaven, he return in safety from Paris, and assume as
bold a bearing in the Upper Chamber this year, as he
did the last ! We shall have no fear of consequences,
if he will but speak out. A year since he insulted
Ireland ; let him now insult England—why should he
not, being himself of true Yankee growth ?—and level a
sneer or two at the dwellers north of the Tweed ; and the
question of a Reform of the Lords is settled ! Com-
mend us to a Tory bigot for cuterig the throat of
Toryism. It was the headstrong manoeuvrings of
Lord LYNDIIURST that carried the Reform Bill ; and
it will be the mingled craft and effrontery of the same
Noble Lord that will, no doubt, carry the Irish Cor-
poration Bill, and ultimately seal the destruction of the
hereditary and irresponsible system.
_

The dinner given to Mr. EWART at Liverpool was
a demonstration of public feeling, which will wring the
Tory withers quite as much as that given to Lord
MORPETII at Leeds. The spirit displayed at this
imposing festival was warmly—we might almost say,
enthusiastically—favourable to Ministers. Yet the
speakers did not conceal their sentiments. Far other-
wise. They spoke out in a stern, fearless tone—Mr.
GISBORNE on the subject of Peerage Reform, which
he has the foresight to perceive is inevitable ; and Mr.
EWART on the necessity of Government permitting
such questions as the Ballot, Triennial Parliaments,
&c., to be open questions. Mr. GISBORNE'S remarks
on the House of Lords were in the shrewdest possible
spirit. He apprehended, he said, that they were in-
corrigible ; that signs and portents passed them by un-
heeded ; that they were deaf to the loudest clamour of
the people ; and that consequently their institution
must be remodelled, and the sooner the better. Mr.
EWART held the same decided language, and expa-
tiated, with considerable animation, on the necessity of
" unfeudalizing the too feudal institutions of the
country." In these few emphatic words is con-
veyed the true meaning of the word, Reform.
Advanced as we are, beyond most other nations, in
wealth, intelligence, and love of rational freedom, still
we are, at this present moment, the most aristocratic-
ridden people on earth. A factious oligarchy meets
us at every step—thwarts our every effort to improve
our social and political condition. It was to put
down this grinding and vexatious tyranny that the Re-
form Bill was proposed to, and accepted by, the
the country ; yet still the tyranny exists, not indeed
to such an extent as it did ten years since ; yet never-
theless it is quite active enough to occasion us a world of
annoyance. " Unfeudalize" then—we say with Mr.
EWART—" unfeuclalize the too feudal institutions of the
country ;" put down the exclusive privileges of the aris-
tocracy where they exist to the public injury ; and
give to intelligence, industry, enterprise, and moral
worth, their proper share in the body politic. This is
the only true spirit in which .to carry forward the
principle of Reform ; and in this spirit must Minis-
ters legislate, if they desire to retain their station at
the helm.

for extraordinary and successful exertion than The Sun
newspaper. This acknowledgment is particularly due from
us to the conductors of that journal, not only on public
grounds, hut also from the courtesy with which they allow
their provincial contemporaries to participate in the advan-
tage. A copy of The Sun, containing Sir Robert Peel's
political speech was delivered to us on Monday morning,
being 24 hours before any other London newspaper reached
us by the usual conveyance.—Norfolk Chronicle.
The inauguration of .Sir Robert Peel into the office of
Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow, and the dinner
to which he was invited in that city, have both taken place,
the former ceremony on Wednesday se'nnight, and the lat-
ter on the following Friday. To the proceedings on those
occasions, and especially to the speech delivered by the
Right Hon. Baronet at the dinner, which, in consequence

of the extraordinary efforts of the spirited Proprietor of
The Sun, reached us on Tuesday morning, we have allotted
a large portion of our paper, in order that our readers may
have a fair opportunity of judging for themselves of the ar-
guments by which this vaunted champion of Toryism en-
deavours to support his cause.—West Briton.
We cannot conclude these remarks without offering our
warmest thanks to The Sun newspaper, for its attention in
sending us a paper, containing the report, as early as Sun-
day morning. The immense exertions which must have
been necessary to achieve this, are unrivalled in the annals
of newspaper expresses—and the subscribers to our public
Newsroom were also highly gratified to receive four copies
from the same expeditious sourCe.—Sherborne, Dorchester,
and Taunton Journal. • -
THE SUN NEWSPAFER.—EXPRESS EDITION OF SIR

R. PEEL'S GLASGOW SPEECH.—The enterprising proprie-
tor of The Sun, Murdo Young, Esq. has, in thisinstance,
as far outstripped all his former feats of dispatch as he had
greatly excelled his competitors on former occasions. The
speeches were delivered on Friday evening, a distance of
400 miles from London, and were printed and published on
Sunday morning, thus anticipating all other accounts full
24 hours ; so that at the same time the cockneys were read-
ing the account in " the leading journal " on Monday—the
breakfast tables of the Parisians were furnished with The
Sun, which conveyed to them the same information.--Sr i:
folk chronicle.
Aware of the deep interest our readers will take in the
speech of Sir Robert Peel at the Glasgow Dinner, on Fri-
day evening, we have availed ourselves of the public spirited
and unexampled despatch with which The Sun Newspaper

. .
has conveyed the report of the proceedings, and have the
pleasure of presenting them with the entire Address cif the
Right Honourable Baronet, in the form of a Supplement
to our Paper of this day. The Sun express reached the
offices of Messrs. Cooper and Maunsell, the agents, at
seven o'clock yesterday evening.—Birmingham Gazette of
Monday.

We perceive the Tories of Kidderminster have been
trying to get up a counter-meeting to the one lately
held in that town by the Reformers. The main pur-
pose appears to have been to give a Mr. GODSON,
who says he means to be a candidate for the represen-
tation at the next election, an opportunity of showing
how ill qualified he is for that office. The thing was
a miserable failure.

The Paris papers of Thursday announce the triumph
of the French Cabinet on the article in the Address
relative to the Spanish question. On Wednesday the
Chamber rejected, by a majority of 231 votes against
160, an amendment proposed by M. BOISSIERE, the
exact meaning or object of which it would be almost
impossible to determine. As for MM. TIIIERS,
PASSY, SAUZET, and ()DILLON BARROT, they con-
tented themselves with voting against the second part
of the paragraph, without previously moving an amend-
ment on it. This appears to us to exhibit a sort of
indifference to the first result. The paragraph, as ori-
ginally framed by the Committee, was divided on the
motion of M. BERRYER, previous to its adoption on
Thursday, and proposed to the Chamber as two dis-
tinct paragraphs.

The weather yesterday, in the neighbourhood of
Marylebone, presented a most singular appearance, the
sky being divided as it were between light and darkness, the
new road forming the boundary line. 'On the north side of
the road, from which quarter the wind blew, it was tole-
rai;ly light and cheerful, but on proceeding a few paces
southward it appeared almost like midnight, making the
contrast very striking. This phenomena was partly •eca-
s'oned by the wind, and the open space northward of the
above road being free from smoke. Marylebone Police-office
was so dark that it was found necessary to light the can-
dles, and in Oxford-street and vicinity the gas was burning
as if it had been night. Owing to this unusual darkness,
several accidents happened, and an omnibus was overturned,
but fortunately the passengers sustained no injury.

The influenza is very prevalent at this time in Essex,
many persons amongst all classes being affected with it. In
several cases whole families have been attacked. On Sun-
day last more than one church in this county was closed
from public worship in consequence of the disease having
affected the Ministers.—Chcloisfuid Chronicle.

In the Sheriff's Court, Guildhall, yesterday, Mr.
Sergeant Arabin fined eighteen absent jurors, in the sum of
20s. each, observing that he would double the amount every
Court-day, until he insured attendance. Much time was
lost, and it was a great hardship upon those who did attend
the Court pursuant to summoning.

Yesterday afternoon a great crowd of persons col-
lected in the New-road, to witness the progress of a vehicle
drawn by 12 horses, on which was a steam-engine con-
structed for the island of Cuba, where a railroad is in the
course of formation across the island, 75 miles in length.
The weight of the machine is about 9 tons, and cost 1,4501.
It possesses a 30 horse power, and on Thursday it was tried
on the Birmingham and London Railway, when, at the
Speed of 2.5 miles an hour, it drew 60 ton weight, which
was contained in 19 carts tilled with gravel.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Unicorn
Tavern, Greenwich, before •Mr. C. J. Carttar, on view of
the body of James Daglish, aged 27 years. The jury
having returned from viewing the body, which presented
a most appalling spectacle, the lower part of the stomach
being completely cut through, and the bowels protruding,
the following evidence was adduced :—James Hutchinson.
—I am mate of the King William snuck, of Berwick.
On Wednesday last, between one and two o'clock, we were
being towed down the river by a steam-boat. Off Globe-
stairs, Rotherihthc, the pool was so full that there was not
room to pass through, and the persons on board the steam-
boat let go the towing-rope. Our vessel got across the
tier, and in the confusion the deceased's hat fell overboard,
and he got over the ship's side, and was endeavouring to
reach it. I perceived the steam-boat drifting towards
and called out to the deceased, " For God's sake, take care,
or you will be jammed to death." He took no notice, and
in an instant the vessels came in contact, crushing him be-
tween them. I am certain it was perfectly accidental.
The deceased expired before he could be rowed down to
the Dreadnought hospital ship.--Verdict, Accidental Death.
When the melancholy occurrence took place the father (the
captain of the smack) and brother of the deceased were
close to him.

We have to announce the loss of the ship Duncan
Gibb, belonging to this port. She sailed from Quebec the
17th of November, and encountered a succession of bad
weather, but nothing particular happened until the .sth of
December, when, in latitude 47, longitude 30, strong gales
from the west, the ship scudding under close-reefed main-
topsail and reefed foresail, with a dangerous high sea, the
wind increasing to a hurricane. At noon the ship was hove
to, at three p.m., was struck by a broken sea, which carried
away the bowsprit, foremast, main topmast, bulwarks, &c.,
which made her become quite unmanageable and leaky, the
leaks increasing so much she became water logged. The
crew remained in this perilous situation, subsisting on the
small remnant of provisions and water that were saved,
until the 25th inst., when taken off by the ship Niagara,
of Boston, Captain Pike, bound to Liverpool, from Sa-
vannah. The crew consisted of 17, and we are sorry to
relate that two men were washed overboard, and one boy
died in the Niagara.—Dublin Paper.

HOAk, BY t:ili-EM!!

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCII.—WC were not a little
surprised at receiving regularly by the mail this morning
(Tuesday, one o'claek, v. 4.) a *Cenci Edition of the.,Lon- '
don f,";)-';g %.4f f2)111.,[iP14::,,; [ibi_itzllt4g bt
the speeches delivered at the Peel Banquet the previous
evening ! The report occupies six closely printed columns,
and carries down the proceedings to their close at five mi-
nutes past one, the same day, when the company broke
up. Tbou4ll a Norninff Paper; the Fecund Edition of the
ffi.Mfd, Could not be published till late on Saturday night ;
yet the above circumstance seems almost incredible. The
Express from Glasgow must have travelled at the rate of
nearly twenty tidies an hour ; and after the report had
ban reecited in London, put in types, and the papers is-
sued, another Express must 'have been dispatched with them
after the Mail, travelling northwards with equal celerity.
There is no other instance on record, of the people of Lon-
don reading in a newspaper a full report of the proceedings
of n pnbll d meeting in Glasgow, which had been held only
the night before, and did not separate till one o'clock the
same morning. The distance, by the most direct route,
must be nearly 400 miles. The Editor introduces the re-
port with the following notice
" By the most extraordinary and unprecedented exer-
tions, we are enabled to gratify our readers by a report of
the proceedings at the dinner given to Sir It. Peel, at
Glasgow, yesterday:"
On the occasion of Lord Durham's dinner at Glasgow,
the Violet Pogoftklti. flit; titoterßlitit:o by 01 c7Nufess which
travelled 15 miles an hour ; but this dispatch of the Herald
is truly unprecedented. We may well exclaim with Dominic
Sampson, " Prodigious !"—lnverness Courier.
NEWSPAPER EXPRESSING.—We were prepared, with
many of our contemporaries, to express our all but inex-
pressible astonishment, when, at six o'clock on Monday
evening, Messrs. Robertson and Scott, newspaper agents
here, politely sent us a copy of a Second Edition of Satur-
day's London Morning Herald, containing a report of the
proceedings at the Peel Dinner at Glasgow up to its close.
at some minutes past one o'clock of the same morning. But
something still more wonderful came to light. The same
paper was received in Glasgow by Mr. M'Phun at eleven
o'clock on Monday forenoon. We had cogitated, and won-
dered, and conjectured, as concerning the manner—railroad,
steam-engine, balloon, or other—in which our London Con-
temporary had achieved this apparently impossible feat, and,
like a Glasgow brother, had put it down to the account of
diablerie and Dr. Faustus—when the murder popped out in
a pretty considerably probable report that the said Second
Edition had been printed in Carlisle. That such, or some-
thing similar, was the fact there can be no doubt, as the
paper bears intrinsic marks that three pages of it were
printed in London, and the other, containing the Second
Edition, somewhere out of it, albeit the whole bears to be
" printed by John Ryan, printer, of No. 104, Shoe-lane,
Fleet-street, in the City of London," on " Saturday, January
14, 1837." Now, had the Morning Herald avowed this
fact, we should have been inclined to give it credit for an
"ingenious device ;" as it is, it looks, we must say, very
much like a hoax upon the public and upon its readers.
The Sun promised to do great things—and it bona fide did
so—for we had in Edinburgh copies of that paper on 'Tues-
day, containing between nine and ten columns of the Peel
Dinner. This was a feat worthy of The Sun, and corre-
sponding to many of its former exertions.—Caledonian
Mercury.
In our last we mentioned, on what we considered good
authority, that the Morning Herald, containing the report
of the dinner to Sir Robert Peel was printed at Carlisle.
We have since learned that it was intended to print the
paper in that city, but for some reason Manchester was
chosen in its stead.--Glasgow Chronicle of Wednesday.

THE PRESS AND THE PEEL DINNER.—Never did the
London papers make greater exertions to furnish an early
and full report than on this occasion. The Times, Post,
Herald, Chronicle, and Sun cannot have expended less in
the aggregate than two thousand pounds. The report of
the Times is the most perfect, but the Herald had the good
fortune to be first in the field.—Hull Packet of Friday.
RAPID EXPRESSES.—A good deal of exertion has been
made by many of the newspapers both in Edinburgh and
London to obtain early reports of the Peel Dinner, but none
of them appear to have exceeded the London Morning
Herald, which bears to be published in London on Satur-
day night, with a whole page of a report of the proceedings
which took place at Glasgow on the previous evening.
Moreover, copies of the paper, containing the report, were
in Glasgow about half-past eleven o'clock on Monday fore-
noon ; and in Edinburgh about six o'clock on Monday
evening. It is stated by some of our contemporaries that
the report was expressed to London on horseback in 22
hours, and re-expressed to Glasgow in 23i hours ; but we sus-
pect the report was not printed in London at all, but in some
town on the borders of Scotland or elsewhere. The page
of the paper in which the report appears, bears ample evi-
dence of having been printed at a different time and place
from the rest of the paper. Something of this kind must
have been done, for it is idle to say that all that is above
stated could have been accomplished in the short space
mentioned. By these remarks we do not mean to deterio-
rate from the real merit of the Morning Herald, for we
think they deserve great praise for what they have done :
we merely wish to dissipate what appears to us to be
an illusion which is spreading: regarding their efforts.
We received yesterday by the curricle a copy of The
Sun of Sunday, with a report of the proceedings of the
same dinner, so that their exertions must also have been
very great. The Mercury and Courant of our own city
deserve much credit also for their efforts on this occcasion.
—Scotsman of Wednesday.
A copy of the Morning Herald was received in this city
by Robertson and Scott, News-agents, on Monday night,
dated Saturday, the 14th, containing an account of the
Peel dinner in Glasgow, which took place on the Friday
before, and several of the newspapers are celebrating this
unprecedented dispatch, in the highest strain, and if the
Morning Herald of Saturday had really published in
London an account of the dinner which took place in Glas-
gow on Friday, the day before, certainly, no terms could
have been too strong to express admiration of this
extraordinary effort. But before giving credit to
the Morning Herald for this degreee of dispatch,
we must first be convinced that it is within the bounds of
possibility. It was past one o'clock on Saturday morning
before the Glasgow dinner was concluded. Now, the re-
porters must have travelled to London in sixteen hours—a
distance that could only have been accomplished in a bal-
loon or some yet undiscovered mode of travelling. The
mode adopted for accomplishing this extraordinary feat

seems therefore to have been, to print three pages only in
London (namely, the first, second, and last), and then to
send the paper with one page blank to some intermediate
town—most probably Carlisle—and there to print on the
blank page the report of the Glasgow dinner, and to dis-
patch it to different parts of the country. The Sun news-
paper has, as usual, been distinguished by its extraordinary
exertions on this occasion, having received the account of the
Peel Dinner in Loudon on Saturday night and published a
full report next day, which was immediately dispersed by
expresses over the whole country.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant of Thursday.

Our sagacious Scotch Contemporaries are begin-
ning to detect the hoax attempted to be played
off upon the public by the Morning Herald.
We confess that, although we have occasion-
ally done something in the way of rapid expressing,
we have • never. attempted impossibilities—that we
must leave to • our • ingenious Contemporary of
the Herald. But to be serious; will the Herald ven-
ture to assert that its report of the dinner was not
printed at Manchester, or Glasgow, or some other town,
two or three hundred miles from London ?—Or will it
venture to pledge itself, that it was actually
printed in London on Saturday.. night ; and if
so, will it explain how it was, that no news-
agent, or any other person resident in London,
could procure a copy of the Herald containing the
report of the dinner, earlier than Monday morning ?
In conclusion, we should be glad to know from the
Herald, whether its express from Glasgow, with the
dinner report, did not actually take forty-four hours to
reach London !—ED. SUN.

On Thursday the public-house at the corner of Vine
and Swallow-streets, Regent's Quadrant, which was about
to be pulled down, fell with a tremendous crash, like the
discharge of artillery. The workmen, 37 in number, who
had unroofed the house, had providentially retired (it being
about twelve o'clock) to their dinner, and no person was hurt.
It has been calculated that no less a sum than five
millions of francs have been lost in Paris since 1830 by un-
successful attempts to establish periodical works. As the
booksellers have learned prudence from experience, they
seldom have any concern in any such undertakings : so that
this loss must have fallen upon shareholders, though it is
true that many an author, who hoped to secure the editor-
ship, has sacrificed the whole of his little property in them.
Foreign Quarterly Review.
DEATH OF CATTLE.—The following casualties
occurred on the farm of Mr. Bowley, of Kingstone Field,
within one week :—Three sheep (lied, one being lost in the
snow ; a heifer was drowned by the breaking up of the i?;
a stirk died of inflammation, and a cow of some other o.:17
order ; and, on proceeding to his stable, Mr. Bowley found
that a valuable mare was dead. On Friday his shepherd
was taken ill and died ; and on the following day the shep-
herd's dog shared the Lte of his master.—,Louglibcrough
