TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS, TO ADVER
TISERS, AND TO THE PUBLIC.

THE Union of the True Sun with The Sun, and
other circumstances, have now given us a posi-
tiori which no other Evening Journal possesses.
It appears from the Parliamentary returns, that
this Union has placed us at the head, and con-
siderably at the head, of all our Contemporaries.
The attainment of this position has not been effected
without very great sacrifices, and still greater
exertions—exertions which the whole of the Pro-
vincial Press has declared to be unparalleled.
We shall not, however, pause here. There are
other things of importance which have never
been attempted by any Newspaper, but which we
propose to effect.
The private business of Parliament involves property,
and affects interests to a much larger extent than
any of the Courts of Law ; vet there have been
no systematic or periodical Reports of those pro-
ceedings. We intend to supply the desideratum, by
furnishing accurate and daily reports of the proceed-
ings of every Private Committee; so that smuggling
of Bills through the Legislature, often of the most
itnvortant character, can no longer, take place.
Every individual who chooses may become ac-
quainted with any matter affecting himself or his
property that comes before Parliament. To Law-
yers—to Members of Corporations—to Joint-
stock Companies—this information must be very
desirable.

Our agricultural friends will not be forgotten. At
present they are dependent for prices either
upon local Newspapers, which are generally
published on the morning of each market-
day, and consequently only contain the
prices of the preceding week ; or upon Lon-
don Journals published only once a week. We
propose to remedy this defect by giving daily
reports of every Corn-market of importance
in the kingdom immediately after it takes place ;
so that before any farmer goes to market, he
may know the prices that have been obtained,
in the shortest possible time, in .his neigh-
bourhood.
Besides the above, we propose many other im-
provements which must contribute greatly to the
advantage of our readers ; but we have not time
to advert to them. Let us be judged by our

merits.

WITH WHICPf
" THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW
INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1837.

We see, by the Court Circular, that Colonel Sir
GEORGE ARTHUR—of Honduras notoriety—has
been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Ca-
nada, and that his " Excellency" leaves London to-
day for the seat of his Government. This is the
worat--the very worst—Colonial appointment ever
made by the Whigs. We should be glad to know the
name of the Minister who took upon himself to re-
commend to her MAJESTY the nomination of a Go-
vernor whose presence may be the signal for
another appeal to arms against the tyranny of Great
Britain. There must be some sinister influence at
work, which thus renders of none effect the best in-
tentions of the Cabinet. Colonel ARTHUR is the last
British subject, with the exception of General DAR-
LING, who ought to he entrusted with the Government
of Upper Canada. Whatever disturbances, on the part
of the people, may take place in that Province dur-
ing the period of his Administration, the insurgents
will not fail, we fear, to ground their justification in the
presence of such a ruler. Of Col. ARTHUR'S private
character we say nothing. We speak of him, as we have
a right to do, as a servant of the Crown—as a civil and
military Governor, whose official conduct proves him to
be better qualified to act in a subordinate capacity
under MEHEMET ALI, than to represent among a
free people the Majesty of a constitutional So-
venlign.
We repeat, there must be some sinister influence
at work which thus neutralizes every good that is
proposed to be done by the Cabinet. This bad influence
must be corrected, or the Ministry cannot stand. The
very appointment of Colonel ARTHUR to the govern-
ment of Upper Canada would overthrow a Government
in whose good intentions the country had less confi-
dence than it has in that presided over by Lord iVIEL-
IROURNE. But these freaks of tyranny cannot be in-
dulged in any longer ; and should the presence of
Colonel ARTHUR provoke a civil war, the effect, as
regards the stability of the Cabinet, may be easily
predkted.

- We ..know not how it happens, but we have
frequently had occasion to observe, that the more
any servant of the Crown renders himself odious to
the people, the surer he-is of promotion at the hands
of Ministers. Does an officer of the army order,
and. witness the flogging of a British subject, till he
expires of torture at the halberts ? Parliament echoes
the Ministerial cheers which hail the announce-
ment of his humanity—his excessive tenderness
for the wrongs and sufferings of his fellow-crea-
tures. Promotion awaits him, from the hour the
'voice .of an indignant people is,raised in execration
,of his tyranny. Does a Colonial Governor leave the
:history of Itis Administration to be written in tears and
blood? The_Court claims him as an object on which
to waste its sweetest hlandishments—to shower its
choicest favours. All who opposed him, were
