an hour. By five 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.—Birminghant
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, l can employed by the
proprietor of The Sun. The particulirs 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
frr which the thinks of the public are due to Mr. Murdo
Young, the proprietor.—Stockport Advertiser.
Amongst the many instances of activity on the part o'
the Metropolitan press in furnishing the public with the
earliest information, none stand in a more forward position
for extraordinary and successful exertion than The Sun
Newspaper. This acknowledgment is particularly due from
us to the conductor of that journal, not only on public
grounds, but also from the courtesy with which he allowed
his 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.--VotibTh Chronic/e.
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. 'l'o 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.—Sherhorne,;Dorchester,
and Taunton Journal.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER.--The enterprisjng proprie-
tor of The Sun, Murdo Young, Esq. has, in this instance,
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 *them the same information.—Stifi
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 dispatch with which The Sun Newspaper
has conveyed the report of the proceedings, and have the
pleasure of presenting them with the entire Address of the
Right Honourable Baronet, in the. fornr 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.—Birminighant Gazelle of
Monday.
In another column we have given the principal features
of Sir Robert Peel's speech at the Glasgow dinner on Friday.
For the very copious details from which our abstract is made,
we are indebted to the columns of The Sun. The proprie-
tor of that journal, with his characteristic promptitude
and energy, had his report of the proceedings sent to town
by expresses which travelled with almost incredible rapidity.
It was half-past twelve o'clock on Friday night before the
proceedings of the dinner terminated, and the account of
them arrived at The Sun Office by half-past one o'clock on
Sunday morning—a distance of 400 Miles in about twenty-
four hours !—Bath and Cheltenham Gazette.
WONDERFUL DISPATCH !—We have received a copy of
The Sun newspaper, containing a report cf the dinner given
to Sir Robert Peel at Glasgow on Friday evening last.
The report contains eight columns and a half of closely.
printed matter, conveyed from Glasgow to London (some
400 miles). written out, and printed, by half-past one
o'clock on Sunday morning, not more than twenty-seven
hours from the time the speeches were delivered ! We are
not altogether inexperienced in the matter of expressing;
but we Must yet confess our astonishment at this almost
incredible achievement. The mail bet Ween London and
Glasgow occupies, if we recollect rightly, forty-two hours
on its journey.—Maidstone Gazette.
The printer being aware of the desire of persons of all
politics to know if the Leader of the Opposition Party in
the House of Commons should let fall, at the Glasgow
Dinner, on Friday last, any outline of the course intended
to be pursued by him and his friends on the opening of Par-.
fitment, hastens to lay before his readers a copy of his
Speech, now about fifty-five hours old, and spoken upwards
of 470 miles distant ; added to which, his words and the
whole report had to be fairly written, and has twice been
put into type. To enable this to be done, great exertions
have been made, but the entire credit is due to Murdo
Young, Esq., Proprietor of The Sun London Evening.
Paper, the whole of the following being reprinted from the
Second Edition of that print of the date of Saturday last.--
Supplement to the Hampshire Telegraph of Monday.

SUN EXPRESS.—The spirited proprietor of The Sun has
fairly outdone all his previous wonderful achievements in
the art and mystery of expressing l The speech of Sir
Robert Peel (which, by the bye, was scarcely worth print-
ing), delivered at Glasgow on Friday evening (400 miles
from London), was actually received at The Sun Mice
within twenty-eight hours after, printed, published, and re-
expressed to all parts of the kingdom, and being read 200
miles from town on Sunday evening!—Leicester Mercury.

We must not omit stating, that we are indebted for the
report of this grand banquet, to the proprietor-of The Sun
Newspaper, who, by an extraordinary express, was en-
abled to publish his report at half-past one o'clock on
Sunday, a copy of which he kindly forwarded to our
office, and reached us on Monday night. In expressing
our acknowledgements for this unsolicited .act of kindness,
we cannot but highly commend the industry and unprecc.
dented dispatch which it exhibits. We are also indebted
to the Morning Herald for a like favour, which did not;
however, arrive as early as The Sun.—Carmarthen Journal.

Through the exertions of the proprietor of The Sun
Newspaper, Sir Robert Peel's speech at the grand Con-
servative dinner at Glasgow, on Friday,• was published in
London at half-past seven on Sunday morning. The com,
puny did not sit down to table till five o'clock, mill allow-
ing for the time occupied in discussing the feast, in the
toasts which preceded that of their distinguished guest, the
Right Hon. Baronet's address, and the subsequent speeches
—then the copying the short-hand notes, the distance ac-
complished (400 miles in about twenty-four hours, and full
half the time in darkness)—when, we say, all these are
taken into consideration, gratification gives place to won-
der at the excellence of their arrangements, and the as-
tonishing celerity with which the task was accomplished.—
Cambrian.

THE SUN EXPRESS.—The Sun London Evening Paper
of Saturday, from which we have made our abstract of Sir
Robert Peel's Speech at the Glasgow dinner on Friday
evening, contained eight and a half closely printed columns
of the speeches delivered on that occasion. The proprie-
tor of that spirited Paper had his report of the speeches
sent to London by express ; and, although we have seen
on former occasions, the greatest dispatch and energy ex-
ercised by the proprietor of The Sun, yet the present in-
stance is decidedly the greatest effort lie has made. It
was half-past twelve o'clock on Friday night before the
proceedings of the dinner terminated, and the account of
them arrived at The Sun office by half-past one o'clock on
Sunday morning—a distance of .400 miles in twenty-five
hours.—Norils Derbyshire Chronicle.

TnE SUN EXPRESS.—Through the spirited exertions of
Murdo Young, Esq., we were favoured on Monday last
with an expressed copy of The Sun, containing ten columns
of the report of the dinner given to Sir Robert Peel, at
Glasgow, on the previous Friday evening. This wonderful
expedition in expressing, reporting, printing, publishing, and
re-expressing, is without parallel or example in the history of
newspziper management ; and we hope the proprietor will
meet with the reward which is justly due to his indefatiga-
ble exertions.—Northampton Chronicle.
THE LONDON *NEWSPAPER PRESS.—Among all the cir-
cumstances connected with the late splendid banquet to
Sir Robert Peel in this city, few of them deserve more at-
tention than the wonderful exertions that were made by the
London Morning Papers to have a full and early report
of the proceedings at the dinner. As we formerly men-
tioned, there were about twenty gentlemen connected with
those papers in Glasgow at the time of the festival. The
Sun used formerly to be the journal which excelled all the
others in the quickness with which it was forwarded through-
out the country every thing of pnGjip interest hnt on the
present occasion that paper has been visibly eclipsed by the
11 Morning ~ Herald, The dinner proceedings concluded here
about half-past one o'clock on Saturday morning, and at
half-past eleven on Monday forenoon we received a copy of
the Morniv Herald, containing six closely-printed columns
of the speeches, the report being brought down to the close.
This unprecedented dispatelt has given ri§e to a strong sus-

pieion that the report, as it occupies just a neat page,
may have been printed' in Manchester -or Liverpool, a
idantity of the Heralds containing the -other three pages
being sent to either of these places to be thus filled up.
This theory is corroborated by the silence of the paper in
question regarding the matter in the following publication.
Had it been a bona fide transaction, we imagine there
would have been, at the earliest opportunity, a little puffing
'u the subject. The whole period occupied here is fifty-
iiight hours, being fourteen m►les travelling per hour, with-
out either stoppage to print or stoppage on the road.. The
Sun, the 2110).niny Advertiser, Post, Chronicle, Times, &c.,
bad alio most cap►tal reports, published with great speed.
The whole of these journals are loud in their praises of the
grandeur of the-banqueting-hall, the whole arrangements
(which indeed can never be too highly spoken of),• and the
excellent demeanour of the immense company. Since writ-
ing the above we have taken a look at. the Morning Herald,
and can now say that the dinner page: in that journal
dluded to has been printed by itself, wherever it Was done.
—GlasgOw Herald. •
We were indebted to the proprietor of The Sun Even-
ing Paper, for the first report of Sir Robert Peel's speech
at the Glasgow Dinner, which reached this town on Mon--
day evening., having been forwarded expresi out of London
on Sunday.' This is another instance of the extrpordinary
dispatch for which the spirited -Proprietor of The Sun is
celebrated. -But for the had. condition of tl.e roads they
would have accomplished their object many hours earlier.---.
Devonport Telegraph.
-EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.—The spiritod exertions of
the proprietor of The Sun, to obtain and circulate the
earliest intelligence of public events, have won universal
admiration. On Friday evening Sir Robert Peel and others
addressed the guests at the dinner in Glasgow, and I y
Monday evening, cix o'clock, we received a copy, and read
their speeches in Devonport, they having had, in that time,
to be fairly written out from the reporter's notes, trans-
mitted to London, composed, printed, and distributed
through the Post-offices, and by .otherconveyances.—De-
vonport Independent.
The rider who was sent off express by Paton & Co,

Black Bull Inn, with. the report of the Peel Banquet, for
The Sun Newspaper,. reached Beatock Inn—a distance
of 56 miles from Glasgow—in the short period of three
hours and 17 minutes. Had it not been that he was.
detained at a toll-bar, he would have reached his'destina-
tion in less time.—Ayr Advert4er.
SIR R. PEEL AT GLASGOW.—Among the numerous
public occurrences that have recently taken place, none
has excited so much general interest as those of the instal-
lation of Sir Robert Peel as Rector of the University of
Glasgow, which took place in that city on, the I lth instant,
and the grand banquet on the 13th Our readers may
form some idea of the intense interest of the latter, when
we inform them that an account of the dinner, with Sir
Robert Peel's speech on the occasion, was published in the
Horning Herald, London paper' of Saturday, an instance
of expedition unprecedented in the annals of the press.
They were also published in an edition of The Sun on the
following morning ; and those papers were kindly forwarded
to our office. We have not space this day for Sir Robert's
Speech, but shall give it in our next.—Enniskillen Chro-
nicle, and Erne Packet.

It is not a minor proof of the interest attached to the.
exposition of Conservative principles by its leader, that The
Sun, a Liberal paper, made the extraordinary effort to sup-
ply the metropolis with a copy of the speech, within forty-
eight hours of its delivery, expressing it a distance of 400
miles.—./lampshire Advertiser.
The grand banquet given by the Tories of Glasgow to
the Right Hon. Baronet was held on the following Friday,
in a magnificent pavilion, erected for the express purpose,
with accommodations for 3,435 persons. The subsequent
particulars we 'borrow from our spirited Contemporary,
The Sun, the conductors of which made arrangements
by which they were enabled to publish a report, exceeding
eight columns in length, within twenty-six hours of the
close of the banquet. This fact, when it is considered that
Glasgow and London are four hundred miles apart, must
be regarded as a most wonderful instance of rapid travelling
and expeditious printing.—Leicester Chronicle.
EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCII...—WC have often noticed
the extraordinary exertions made by Mr. Young, of The
Sun newspaper, to obtain and communicate to the public
important information at the earliest possible period ; but we
never recollect an instance in which such dispatch has been
used equal to the ono we are about to mention. The re-
port of the speeches at the grand banquet which was given
to Sir Robert Peel at Glasgow yesterday week, appeared
in The Sun on Sunday morning, dated half-past one o'clock,
to the extent of nearly eight columns and a half! Such
dispatch is, we believe, unprecedented.—Windsor Express.
REPORTING EXT RAORDI NA RY.---Tbe Sun London Even-
ing Newspaper has begun the new year, with a literary feat,
which shows that the enterprise of its proprietor will he as ,
active in the present year as it was on formereecasions.
The speeches of Sir Robert Peel at Glasgow, were reported
to the extent of seven Columns in The Sun of Sunday
morning! The dinner speech of Sir Robert Peel was de-
livered in Glasgow on Friday evening ; the proceedings of
the dinner terminated at half-past twelve o'clock that night.;
and yet The Sun expresses arrived at The Sun office in
the Strand at half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning—a
distanee of only 400 miles in 2.5 hours! ! Such despatch
is, we believe, without a parallel ; and when it is reflected
that. the report, about eight columns of closely printed
matter, had been taken in short hand, then translated and
copied, then set in type, and read twice in proof before it
was published, it will be admitted that The Sun Reporli►•g
Extirmrdinary is among the curiosities of literature.—
Ireqord Times.

We are indebted to the spirited proprietor of The Sun
for a copy of that paper, containing a report of eight columns
of the proceedings at the dinner given on Friday at Glas-
gow, to Sir R. Peel.—Chellenham Journal.

Through the extraordinary exertions of the spirited pro-
prietor of The Sun Newspaper, we received a copy of that
paper on Monday, at 1 a.m.,.froni which we give the follow-
ing outline. These expresses of The gun ought to call for
the same public expression of gratitude."—E.reter Western
Times.
. The almost -unparalleled tiers -methy our indefa-
tigable Contemporary, The Sun itpaaper, enabled us
to publish, in a second edition, on Suny,lay morning last,
upwards of eight columns of the inipor&fproceedings at
the dinner given to Sir Robert Peel by the Conservatives
of Glasgow“ on the Friday Pievions. Not having 'been
able to get. the report into the'whole of our impression,
we now insert Sir :Robert Peel's speech entire.—Sunday
,:‘
Times. ,

" A Constant Subieriber" who complains of the omis-
sion of " Sir Joseph Surface's speech" from our last week's
paper, is one,of those persons who show their wisdom by
complaining that impossibilities hare not been overcome.
It is true that our friend Mr. Young, the spirited and en-
terprising Proprietor of The Sun. Daily Paper, did ad-
vertise the town that he would publish this spee'ch in his
Edition of Saturday evening; and if any one could succeed
in accomplishing this unprecedented feat, Mr. Young was the
man to do it. Had we,deemed it Possible to obtain a report
in time for our Sunday edition, the expenses of the express
would have been considered as , literally no object. But,
owing to the immense circulation of the Dispatch, we are
obliged to go to press at a very early hour. We thought it
impossible to give the speech, and the result proves that we
were right. Mr: Young did not Oublish t2ll rather a late hour
on Sunday m6rnirtig'; and it is a fact that no account of the
Glasgow Dinner could be obtained in London till the whole
of our impression was worked off, with the exception of a
few " extras."— Weekly Dispatch.

After copying the paragraph from the- Herald
which we have published above, the No/M kagbidshire
Mercury says--" We have heard that sheets of the Morn-
ing Herald, printed 'only,on the first, second, and last pages,
were sent -down to Carlisle, where arrangements had been
made for printing the. Glasgow dinner on the inner page.
This is the first instance we believe of a London Paper
being printed in a provincial town !"
GREAT DISPATCII.—The Sun Newspaper which has on.
former occasions communicated intelligence conveyed in an'
almost incredibly short period of time, has been quite dis-
tanced by the Morning Herald in the Publicatriln of the
proceedings at the great meeting at Glasgow, which took
place yesterday week, the accoupt of which was received
here in a second edition of Saturday's paper, although the
Chairman and Sir Robert Peel did not leave the Pavillion
until half-past one o'clock on Sattirday morning. :We were
also politely obliged with a copy of the' Glasgow Cottlie,.,
wherein the proceedings were given at great length, which
we received on Sunday. The people are greatly indebted,
to the proprietors of such journals 'l for it is impossible that
any sales of papers can reimburse them for the heavy ex-
pense incurred in conveying intelligence on such a system
of dispatch.—Preston

We have to acknowledge the courtesy of The Sun and
the Times in forwarding us copies of their journals con-
taining reports of the proceedings at Sir R. Peel's dinner
at Glasgow. The Sun published the whole of the speeches
delivered on the previous Friday night at one O'clock on
Sunday morning, and was far beyond all its London Con-
temporaries, notwithstanding the ruse which the MOGii:y
Herald has attempted to play off, The qid lady of Shoe-
lane absolutely sent t-14 Ann (If her papers on Saturday
morning, with' the speeches delivered the night beforc at
Glasgow, imagining that we, in con unction with several of
our provincial Contemporaries should be gulled by' the im-
posture. We up by no means disposed to underrate the
exertions of the Londoripapers ; but when we find the jour-
nals of the metropolis endeavouring 'to take an unfair ad,
vantage of the provincial press, we shall clo our best to ex-
pose and defeat theni, The report ttf the %Anew dinner

was not published in London on Saturday, although several
of our country friends may have seen the paper called the
Morning Herald of SaTintoale morning, containing it.
The truth is Grandmamma printed off a-number of her Sa-
thrclay papers, leaving one page . blank, which wai com-
pleted at GlaSgow or Liverpool. It is therefore an im-
pudent cheat to call a paper thus cobbled up, the Lisnlon
He.•-ald of Saturday. Our Glasgow Contempo-
reties deserve equally as much . credit for their exertions as
the London prev.—Yo, Tabu eman.
LATEST INTELLIGENCE.—" Latest intelligence," "early
news," &e., are favourite topics for those who puff their
papers, and certainly we had here-on Sunday last a speci•
men that would put competition at defiance, did not
common sense drop in and set us ri,;ht. A copy of
the ,110-•ninj He, ald was presented to Sir Robert Peel at
the King's Arms Inn, in this town, at. half-past three
o'clock on Sunday, purporting to have been printed in
London on Saturday, and containing a garbled copy of the
Right Ike. Baronet's"" speech delivered at Glasgow on
Friday night at twelve o'clock. Sir Robert, we are told,
looked at the paper and smiled ; but though others:. were
gulled, he, no doubt, was Op to the ince or trick.:
The time from the breaking up of the meeting till the
arrival of Sir Robert Peel here was abut thirty-nine hours,
and in that space the speech had to travel (if it had been.
printed in London) nearly 700 miles, or about twentimiles
an hour, without allowing any time for transcribing notes,
composition, labour, and printing ; and if it had been done,
it was, as we are told, " by the most extraordinary and un-
precedented exertions." A witch on a broom-stick must
have been the messenger from Glasgow to London, and
from London hither, and accomplished the distance in a
few minutes. But we might as well at once let our
readers into the whole history of' the secret. A certain
number of copies of the Mo. ning Herald was printed in
London on Thursday the 12th, instead of Saturday the
14th, with a blank page, and forwarded per mail that
night here. It arrived on Saturday, and in the evening
was met by the gentlemen of the Press from Glasgow. They
furnished the matter, and it was carried to the office of the
Kendal Afercury, there set up during Saturday night and
the Sabbath day—the blank page of the said Morning He-
rald printed off and despatched per mail that night, north
and south. Such is a history of the 41 early intelligence."
We .do not suppose that the Mercury people had tine share
in the business beyond that of printing and getting paid for
the job, otherwise we should have had white-headed Bob,
the palterer, running about the'streets on Sunday evening,
and proclaiming, " Latest News," " Sir Robert Peel's
Speech," &e.—Westmoreland Gazelle. •
•
EXTRAORDINARY SPEED.-41c London newspapers this
week have surpassed all their former efforts to obtain im-
portant news at the earliest opportunity. The visit of Sir
Robert Peel to Glasgow was very naturally regarded as an
object of such great interest to the public at large that the
utmost competition was resorted to for the purpose of being
first in the field. The proprietors of the /I forning Herald
distanced all their competitors; so far as regards the cir-
culation of the north. The reporters for that paper arrived
at Carlisle, on their return from Glasgow, at. half-past three
on Saturday afternoon, and at eight o'clock on Sunday
evening a full report of the speeches printed in that paper
arrived at Carlis/c. Where that paper was printed appears
a mystery—the 'report certainly could not have been to
London and back in twenty-nine hours. The papers were
immediately forwarded by express to Glasgow. The Sun,
which is always famous for speed, had their Express con-
veyed throughout at a most rapid rate by horses at short
stages. The first horse. left Glasgow at half-past eleven
on Friday night; and the Express arrived in London at half-
past one on Sunday morning. The papers were then
printed off, and expresses sent into the south. The speech
was published in Paris at six o'clock on Monday morning.
Taken altogether, the speed shoWn on this occasion ex-
ceeds all former efforts of the.kind.—Cailisle Patriot.
THE SUN EXPRESS.—The public are much indebted
to the exertions of the spirited proprietor of The Sun. In
the incredibly short period of twenty-four hours, a report
of the proceedings at the Glasgow Dinner on Friday even-
ing, was conveyed to London, a distance of four hundred
miles ; it,tras immediately printed in a Sunday edition of
The Sun,eind re-expressed to all parts of the kingdom. A
copy 9f the paper reached our office on Sunday noon.
is almost miraculous dispatch, well nigh fulfilling the
rovers' wish of " annihilating space and time."—Kent
Herald.

TIM PEEL DINNER.--7-EXPAF.SS EXTRAORDINARY.--
Hitherto The Sun newspaper has been pre-eminent for prio-
rity of intelligence on such occasions as the present ; but
Graudmamma, alias the Morning Herald, seems to have
entered the lists as a competitor with Mr. Young on this
occasion. We do not think her reverence has been very
successful. The Sun's report is not only superior, but alto-
gether free from the suspicion of trickery which in the
mean time attaches to the Herald. We say this without
'any fayout for The Sun,' haring had experience of its un-
fairness on at least one occasion. But, nevertheless, its
exertions are quite unrivalled ; and, in proof of this, we
need only add, that twenty-four hours after we received
our report of the proceedings at Glasgow through a twice
a week paper published' there, we were in possession of
The Sun's report, published-in London. Honour to whom
honour is due.c,-Dundee Chronicle.--[We cordially thank
our respected and talented Contemporary for the expres-
sion of his good opinion, in spite of " our unfairness on at
least one occasion.' We are quite unconscious pf having
acted. unfairly ; hut if we have, we shall be happy to make
the amende honorable.—Ed. Sun.]
NEWSPAPER EXPRESSING.—WC were prepared, with
matey of our Contemporaries, to eaptess our all but inex-
pressible Astonishment, when; et 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 bad 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
pretty considerably probable report that the said Second
Edition hie-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 liko 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 cor-
responding to many of its former exertions.—Caledonian
cu.y.

The Morning Herald, London journal, has been de-
tected in something very like a fraud, which is doubtless in
its own opinion, only " an ingenious device." It may be
remembered that Sir Robert Peel's Speech at Glasgow was
delivered on Friday evening, the 13thinst. On. Saturday
the Herald published a Second Edition, purporting to be
printed in London, containing a report of the proceedings,
which was forwarded to Glasgow and other towns in the
North, as a specimen of " the extraordinary and unprece-
dented exertions" of the proprietors of that paper. Extra.
ordinary and unprecedented, indeed, would they have been,
even exceeding the bounds of possibility. It now appears
that the Herald forwarded a number of copies of Saturday's
publication, with three pages ready printed, and one page
left blank, to sew town in the North (Manchester has
been stated) where the reporters on their return from
Glasgow easily procured the blank page to be set up in type,
-and then despatched the papers, as before stated. We do
not know that this matter ought to have been looked at in
any other light than as a clever trick, except on two grounds.
The first, that the Herald has since inserted in its columns
a number of acknowledgments to its great activity from the
deceived parties, and has taken great credit for the feat,
even allowing it to go forth in its .own columns without
contradiction, that the account was expressed to London in
twenty-two hours, and re-expressed to Glasgow in twenty-
three hours. Secondly, that it ha committed a fraudulent
act upon those of its Contemporaries who bona fide made
great exertions to procure a full and accurate report ; par-
ticularly on 2Yee Sun, whose really surprising efforts we no-
ticed in our last.—Bristol Gazette, of Jan. 26.
UNSPOKEN SPEECHES.—The Morning Post of Monday
gravely gives, -as having been delivered at the Peel Ban-
Oct on Friday week, three of the speeches which %.:Z,re
intended to be spoken on the occasion,. but on tvliich the
prosing of the previous speakers, and the rapid advance of
Morninn put an unmerciful extinguisher. The speeches
had doubtless, Li;,:at previously delivered to the Poses Re-
perter-, who had at once transmitted them to London, duly
garnished with " cheers," "Icatd
.eheering," and " rapturous
applause." Tha names of the speakers whose productions
have been thus singularly called into existence, are Mr. J.
A, Anderson, Mr. Leadbitter, and Mr. Brash. The Glas-
E'ow Argus states that when the Post was received in the
xchange Reading-rooms, the sight of the " lost Pleiads,"
occasioned " roars of -laughter" and " rapturous applause."
Mr. J. A. Anderson shook his ears like a mouse in a bowl,
And scampered off when his friends crowded round him
with congratulations upon his successful speech. Mr. Lead-

Like. a wise man, repaired to the

stand, and perused his own effusion with sincere delight an.'
admiration.—Scotsman.
THE PEEL DINNER.—We stated last week that we had
been favoured with a copy of the Morning Herold, dated
on Saturday, and containing a full report of. Sir Robert
Peel's speech at the GlasgoW Festival on Friday, but ex-
pressed ourselves incompetent to explain how so extraordi.
nary a feat could have been accomplished. We are tdd
that five of the London papers, the Times, Past, -Ch;
Herald, and Sun, spent on the means of despatch 'no Itsd
than 2,000/., but that the Herald had the good fortune to
be first in the field ; although we are now assured that.it3
race has not. been honourably won. We are unwill rig to
believe that such is the case, yet we arc ready to admit that
the despatch necessary for the accomplishment of the task
so far exceeds what we should have deemed practicable,
Oat we are unable to account for so unprecedented a , per-
formance. As the subject has created no inconsiderable
doubt among the newspapers, as well as astunishmett among
their readers generally, we annex the statements of dderent
Contemporaries by way of establishin7 or"disproving this
extraordinary achievement. [Here follow extracts from the
-We:3ow Chronicle, Westmoreland Gazelle, and Neweastk
Journal, already published.]

We have thus given pro and con what has come under
our own observation relative to this exlr:lnr(linary feat, but
as the matter is still involved in considerable mystery, we
must leave the No rang herald to explain and set itself
right with the public.—Cumbe, land Parket.
FUDGE EXPRESSES.—It is all very well the system of
" expresses," by the London press, and its marvellous speed
in getting up reports, but a thing may be overdone. When
accuracy is made a subordinate consideration to early
publication, and when reports are published is such a hurry
that matters are chronicled which never occurred, it is
high tim to expose the quackery. The Sun was the ear-
hest of the London papers (we have to thank its agent,
Mr. Rutherglen, for a copy of its express) ; but The Sun
gravely states that all the toasts in the printed list
were given, and with unblushing face, adds that it has
kept back seven columns of its report. By the fullest
report, only two additional columns were spoken. The
Mwninj Herald published a second edition : t Carlisle.
but, so far as we can learn, none in London. The profes-
sions of this journal, if meant gravely to deceive, are a gross
fraud on the public ; if only meant as a quiz on The Sun,
they may pass muster for a bad joke. The lifoining Post,
after printing three speeches more, than were delivered,
gravely regrets that it is obliged to exclude a nure,
oer
of the excellent orations which fo'lowod. Such gross
mendacity and quackish pretens'on is degrading to the
character of the Press. Some of the Provincial journals,
with less .'e!o about it, effected, consides Mg their compara-
tively limited means, much more than the metropolitan brag-.
gadocios. 'clic most a;:tive and successful was the Caledo-
nian miry, which sent to press. in Edinburgh, at 5
o'clock in the morning, six columns of a bout:fide reriort
of Ce fter-dinner speeches. The GThs:/ow Courier gravely
attributes the possibility of the Morniuy despatch
.(assuming its reality) to the inspiration of the banquet ;
the one piece of fudge is in perfect keeping with the other.
—Glasgow Argus of Jan. 21.—[We beg to tell the Argus
that we, received several columns of printed speeches by
our Express, but as some of them were not spoken, we
declined to insert them. We covet no uncl'2e praise, being
well satisfied with an acknowledgment tat what we actually
do.—ED. Sun.]
