FURTHER NOTICE.

Since the opening of the Grand Junction mantel y
from Birmingham to the North, the circulation (fTEIE
SUN has already zreatly increased, and must con-
tinue to increase. The reason is obvious. THE SUN
can now be received in the North several hours
earlier Man usual, so as in many places to become a
Mottling Paper. A Second Edition of TETE SUN,
giving the Closing Prices of the Funds, the last Prices
of Shares, Banking and other Companies, Market
Intelligence, Bankrupts, Army Promotions, and all
Political News arriving in London, up to the hour of
Post, may be received in Manchester, Liverpool, Sc.,-
the following morning ; and in Edinburgh, Glas-
gow. and other parts of Scotland in a proportionably
short time. The same principle will apply to other
parts of the country when once the Railroads are
open, and the sooner they are the better—for THE
SUN is a Railway Paper, having been the only Lon-
don Journal that for the last eight years consistently
and unybrinly supported the extension of Railways.
Time saved is money saved—and distance saved is
time .saved. When once the Railway principle is
universally in motion commerce will be trebled—and
young men entering on business, at the age 9121,

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1837.

The Session of Parliament has to-day come to a
close. We cannot call it an untimely close, for reasons
which will readily occur to the mind of every person
who takes an interest in the progress of national
improvement. If the public business has been cut
short, it is rather a matter of congratulation than other-
wise, because of this there can be no doubt that all
p
the great questions now pending would have been
pending had the Session run its usual course. The
country has had several excellent opportunities of
judging of the Duke of WELLINGTO:si'S sincerity
when he expressed, a week or two ago, that celebrated
electioneering wish for the speedy settlement of the
Irish 'Municipal Bill, on the broad basis of " popular
representation." This patriotic wish, so pompously
paraded by the Noble Duke, as the mouthpiece of the
Tory party in the House of Lords, has been put to
the test—a happy circumstance it is that it has
been so in time—and the result has proved the correct-
ness of the estimate which we formed of it at the time.
The rejection of the Parliamentary Registration Amend-
ment Bill, and of the Parliamentary Electors' Bill, is
a double proof that the Lords entertain no
" wish" to
y
settle any question—and it is folly to suppose that they
will ever act otherwise, unless compelled—on a founda-
tion favourable to the extension of liberty. As they
have dealt with these two measures, so would they
have dealt with the Irish Tithe and the Irish Corpora-
tion Bills when the proper season arrived. The only
thing, therefore, to be regretted, is that these, our
he-
reditary incubi, have been saved from the public odium
which their strangulation of these measures would have
procured for them. In all other respects things are bet-
ter as they are. The great measures which are left in
an unfinished state this Session, will be introduced into
a new Parliament under happier auspices, and in a
form much more consonant with the expectations of
the country. There will be some of those parings
and pinchings which we hare sometimes, with regret,
• eigircsorted to, either from a consciousness of the
wigittt- ierillufficient support in the House of Commons,
or frifi desire—how mistaken we need not say—to
make measures of improvement more palatable to the
Tory majority in the House of Lords. Fortified, as
