LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

THE SUN AND THE MORNING HERALD.
A great fuss was made here yesterday by the Morning
Herald, announcing that it would arrive in Liverpool by a
" Rapid Express, in eight hours after its publication in
London, and contain a full account of the Queen's Visit to
the City." Now any one who has a particle of brains must
in a moment discover that an utter impossibility was an-
nounced, and the result showed the absurdity of the promise.
The Herald arrived on Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock—
and contained thirteen columns of matter relating to
the great City Festival. This paper was conveyed
to Birmingham by express, and on to Liverpool, by
an Express Engine, per Railway ; with all this aid
it reached Liverpool in about fourteen hours—the paper
being dated Friday. The Sun of Thursday made
its appearance, not by any extraordinary express to Bir-
mingham, and " special engine to Liverpool," but arrived
comfortably and quietly in the Post, at half-past eleven
o'clock in the MORNING OF FRIDAY—six hours before the
rapid express of the Herald. The Sun also contained 13
columns of the same matter, and the same quantity of in-
formatiim relating to the Queen's visit. So much for all
this swagger and fuss—the Herald is by no means a match
for The Sun upon such an expedition.

We may here perhaps nut inappropriately notie,, for the
purpose of denying, an absurd charge which we learn :7°
Tory Papers have had the intrepidity to bring against the
impartiality of our report. According to these two party-
scribes our report is tinctured by party spirit ! We take
leave to inform these most scrupulous objectors that their
allegation is false, utterly false—the adscription to us of
party motives in a report of public proceedings has, for
the first time, we believe, been hazarded, by two so-
litary; scribes patronised by the Tories. We repel the
charge, all ridiculous as it is, with scorn and contempt.
If there were, indeed, the spirit of party in the report of our
young Queen's visit to the City, it. was the pervading spirit
of the day—the spirit was that of the party of the people.

SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN NEWSPAPERS.—An
Alderman of a certain metropolitan city came, some time
since, very hastily into one of the reading-rooms there, for
the purpose of consulting the Courier upon some matter of
great importance to him ; when not being able immediately
to' find the paper he wanted, he accosted a reverend gentle-
man who chanced to be there, and reading The Sun, with
" Pray, Sir, is that the Curlier you have there ?" "
gir," replied . the other offering him the paper, " but
it is the Tanner—won't that: suit you as well ?" The
same Reverend Gentleman was one day on board a
steam-boat, in which there happened also to be another
Reverend Divine, who at that time was head-master of
one of our largest public schools. As they approached the
sea, the illustrious school-master began to feel very qahnish,
and at last became exceedingly ill. In one of the intervals
between the paroxysms of his malady, our friend stepped
up to him, and said, " IVhy, —, I little expected this of
you I thought that you brought up nothing but young gen-
denim—Literary Gazette."
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF ONE OF lIER MA-
JESTY'S COACHMEN.-On Saturday night, about seven
o'clock, the inmates of Buckingham Palace were painfully
excited in consequence of an act of selldestruction having
been committed by Henry Fricker, who, for above thirty
years past, has held the situation of coachman is the Royal
Household. He had been missing since eight. o'clock in
the morning, but owing to the grooms and other persona
being fully occupied in cleaning the different portions of
harness, his absence did not excite that attention which,
had they been disengaged, it would have done. About the
time above stated a servant under the unfortunate man
went to a room where a particular description of harness
is kept (a separate room being allowed for each descrip-
tion) to procure a pipe. He found the door locked and
the key inside. He instantly became alarmed, when, the
door'. being forced, the deceased was found suspended by a
silk handkerchief. The body was instantly cut down, but
from the blackness of the face, and the rigidity of the body
it was evident he had been dead some hours. For sonic
time past he has appeared low in spirits. On the by of
her Majesty's visit to the City banquet he drove the coach
which was drawn by the six black horses, and it is stated
that, while proceeding along the Strand, one or more of his
horses shied at a flag. The circumstance becoming known
among his fellow-servants, as this was the only check to the
Royal corte.ee, they jeered him. This is the report, but
there is no doubt that the matter will be properly investi-
gated by
the jury. The deceased was one of the oldest
domestics in the establishment. He drove George the
Fourth, who preferred to trust himself to his skill. He has
left a family,
and was much beloved by all who knew him.
An inquest will he held this day.
We arc happy to learn, by a communication from
our Madrid correspondent, that our ambassador Sir George
Villiers has succeeded in obtaining from the Spanish Gee
vernment an order for the release of Mr. Gruncison, the
correspondent of the Morning Post, and Captain Hening-
son. This is perhaps the very best reply that functionary
could have given to the systematic libels which are heaped
upon him in the columns of that very journal whose agent
he has rescued from a most perilous situation.
Townsend, the celebrated pedestrian, has engaged
for a bet of considerable value to walk from the Crown
and Sceptre, Chapter-street, Vauxhall-road, to Croydon,
and return to the above house, three times per day for
ten successive days, being a distance of sixty miles each
day ; and on his return from his walk he is to stand on one
leg for an hour. He .will also occasionally stop at the
Crown Inn, Croydon, and Greyhound, Streatham. Ile
will commence his arduous task to-morrow.
