SUN EXPRESSES.

DUBLIN.—THURSDAY.
The Express Edition of The Sun arrived in Dublia yes-
terday morning, conveying all the important intelligence
respecting the Address on her Majesty's Speech that was
known in London on Tuesday, and which did not arrive
here, through any other channel, before this morning. It
was very difficult to get. a peep at any of the numbers
throughout the different news and club-rooms, so intense
was the anxiety, and so great the crowds of persons press-
ing round and calling for The Sun, in order to collect the
sentiments of the House of Commons, on this most inte-
resting occasion. The consequence was, that very few
persons, comparatively speaking, could have any idea, except
from hearsay, of all that took place in the House of
Commons on Monday night, until after the republication of
your report by the Dublin papers.
So far, then, as public opinion can be collected, as to
the probable result of the present session of Parliament,
the phrase " qUot homines tot sententice," is almost univer-
sally the exponent of men's sentiments at this moment in
the metropolis of Ireland. The Queen's Speech was ad-
mitted by the shrewdest quid mines of every party to have
been most judicious ; and as well adapted to the period of her
Majesty's first Parliament, under very trying circumstances,
as could well be imagined. There was nothing of which either
party in this country could complain, much less had they
any very great cause to rejoice, inasmuch as the speech
from the Throne was so vague as not to give cause of
offence or apprehension to the one, or of very sanguine ex-
pectations to the other. In this state of men's minds the
debate on Mr. Wakley's amendment and its result arrived.
Every sentiment uttered on the occasion by the several
speakers has been greedily devoured, and not yet well di-
gested. Some of the more superficial observers think
there is vacillation among the leaders of the two great
parties, Whig and Tory ; the former being disposed to
relax a little of the principle on which they were called into
office—the latter:willing to surrender and abandon much of
the principle or prejudice which must for ever keep them
out of office. Those who speculate on the coalition that
may possibly be formed in a short time, under these cir-
cumstances, are not few. Those of the Orange or Tory
faction, who hope for a change beneficial to themselves, are
more numerous. But those who think they see in the va-
riety of independent opinion expressed on all sides addi-
tional proofs of the strength and permanency of the pre-
sent Government are by far the preponderating num-
ber. And though this latter class be not all the ha-
bitual speculators, or most profound thinkers, it certainly
embraces the best reasoners on the present posture of af-
fairs. " I shall be compelled, says Burke, to conclude the
principle of Parliament to be totally corrupted, and there-
fore its ends entirely defeated when I see two symptoms ;
first, a rule of indiscriminate support to all Ministers, be-
cause this destroys the very end of Parliament as a con-
trol, and is a general previous sanction to misgovernment ;
and secondly, the setting up any claim adverse to the right
of free election ; for this toji to subvert the legal autho-
rity, by which the House lIPC ominous sits." The princi-
ples of Parliament are not now corrupted ; for though cor-
ruption is not abolished altogether by Reform, still it is
so to such an extent that Ministers can never reckon upon
it alone for their sustainment. The proceedings of Mon-
day night prove plainly, that the present Government arc
not sustained by any party in the House from corrupt
motives. If they were, they would command that party's
votes on every occasion. But they could not command
a section of these Radicals to vote with them an unanimous
address to her Majesty, however anxious they were to do
so ; and yet they have these Radicals with them on the para-
mount national questions, by the advancing of which they
have obtained, and still hold their places. On the other hand,
they had with them every one of the Tories, who dared
not oppose an address to her Majesty, approving of
a Speech wherein her Majesty most graciously directs the
attention of Parliament to questions interesting to all the
people. They dare not oppose it, because their consti-
tuency would not allow them, on such plain questions of
national expediency, to pursue their own factious or selfish
policy. Here then we have a Government, for the first
time in the history of England, ruling according to public
opinion, and conciliating the jarring interests of opposite
parties, by the soundness of their policy. To be sure they
have not the same tenure of office which Ministers, go-
verning by large majorities, used to have before Reform.
But so much the better for the people. They must be more.
circumspect :in their conduct, always ready to give an ac-
count of their stewardship. These views of public affairs
are becoming very prevalent in this part of the United
Kingdom.
The next proceeding in Parliament looked forward to
with hope and satisfaction by the people of Ireland, is the
encounter which your report of Tuesday's debates an-
nounces to take place on Monday next in the Lords, be-
tween Lords Mulgrave and Rodeo. I stated in a former
communication that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant
would afford his opponents an opportunity of verifying, if
they could, all the statements made by their organs this
time past.
It will be shown that no period of eighteen months, for
a great many years past, has exhibited Ireland in a more
tranquil and happy state than she has enjoyed during the
last eighteen months—l might say two years, of Earl
Mulgrave's Administration. Tile very fact of a Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland attending in his place in Parliament to de-
fend his acts, is a novelty not known in the days of exclu-
sive patronage.

We have to express our obligations to the proprietors
of The Sun newspaper, for their dispatch in forwarding an
Express Edition of The Sun on Monday, containing the de-
bate and division on the Address. This editim brought
the proceedings in Parliament down to half-past eleven
o'clock on Monday night. At least three hours must have
elapsed before the express left London, and it was received
in Glasgow by the Messrs. A. Rutherglen and Co. at two
o'clock on Wednesday. It proved of essential service in
enabling•us to give the debate at some length in this day's
Argus.—Glasgow Argus.
We are indebted for the very full report of the proceed-
ings in Parliament to the spirited proprietor of The Sun
who forwarded to this city Express Editions of that paper,
bringing down the debate to a late hour, and exhibiting an
instance of almost unparalleled exertion, by giving thirteen
columns and a half of the very important discussion that
took place on the Address. Through the kindness of the
active agents of The Sun, Messrs. Robertson and Scott,
and the courtesy or Sir Edward Lees, we received copies of
the paper.—Edinburgli Evening Courant.
EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCII.—We are again indebted
to the spirited exertions of Mr. Murdo Young, effectually
seconded by Mr. Wiley, of Sheffield, for the receipt of his
Express Edition of The Sun. A copy of that Journal
reached this office soon after nine o'clock on Tuesday night,
containing nearly the whole of the debate in both Houses
of Parliament on the Address in answer to the Royal
Speech on Monday night. Three expresses were received
in Sheffield on Tuesday : first, with the Speech, at five
minutes past ten A.M.—the next, or Second Edition, with
the debates up to seven o'clock, at half-past twelve ; and
the Express Edition at half-past seven r.m. We received
copies of each of these. Mr. Young went himself to Liver-
pool, via Birmingham, in a chaise and four, and thence by a
steam carriage expressly engaged for that purpose. These
exertions are, we believe, unparalleled.—Doncaster Gazette.
- THE DEBATE.—For the ample report which we publish
to-day we are indebted to the spirited proprietor of The
Sun.—le, eewan's Jot) nal, Thursday.

BoULOGNE-SUR-MER, Nov. 22.—This morning,
about half-past six o'clock, an accident happened to the Erne
raid steamer. The steamer left London yesterday morning
at five o'clock, but the Captain (Jones), in consequence of
the boisterous state of the weather, and the wind being " di-
rectly in his teeth," deemed it advisable, in the course of the
day, to put into Ramsgate harbour. Early this morning, the
wind being more favourable, the Emerald left Ramsgate, and
arrived here at half-past six o'clock. Just, however, as the
vessel was on the point of entering the harbour, the chain
which connects the wheel with the rudder snapped in two,
thus leaving her completely at the mercy of the wind and
waves. She immediately struck against the eastern end of
the jetty, and with such force as to knock away a consider-
able portion of the pier. The figure-head of the steamer was
torn away, and a great portion of the surrounding parts of
the vessel. She is now undergoing the necessary repairs.
A few days ago a young man came to take lessons
of a distinguished professor of fencing, on pretence of being
engaged to fight a duel, and at length begged his master to
find him a second, stating that the arms to be used had at
length been settled to be pistols. The-master did so : the
young man borrowed his unknown second's pistols, and, while
proceeding to the ground, contrived to get rid of the second,
and walked off with a new case of pistols worth 500 f.
A curious case, according to the Franconian Mer-
cury, has been lately brought before a Magistrate at Vienna.
A young person, baptized and educated as a girl, has demanded
a young woman in marriage, alleging that an error of sex has
existed, and requiring to be publicly recognised as a man.
The medical men, who have been consulted in this matter,
have ascertained that the person In question Is In every sense
of the word androgynous.
