COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

FURTHER NOTICE.

Since the opening of the Grand Junction Railway
from Birmingham to the North, the circulation of Tx E
SUN has already greatly increased, and must con-
tinue to increase. The reason is obvious. THE SUN
can now be received in the North several hours
earlier than usual, so as in many places to become a
Morning Paper. A Second Edition of THE 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,
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 uniformly 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 y-21,
will have seen as much of the world, and consequently
become better and more intelligent citizens, for all the
great purposes oflife, as their grea t crreat grandfathers
did at the advanced age of four generations. Know-
ledge is power-_a
species of useful knowledge n( a Newspaper contains every
in the most attractive form.

LONDON,
Nr,s-sAMSDAY EVENING, JULY IS, 1837.

(7",:'-,4"elehabeen perceived by our readers that we
anti gated the principal topics mentioned in
ICIA-3-HsTY4I gracious Speech at the prorogation
-'oo,..Parliainentriittle, therefore, remains for us to say
lin the way ofifomment to- day.
The QUEEN, with equal grace and propriety, ex-

presses her desire of renewing the assurance of her
" determination to maintain the Protestant religion as
established by law ; to secure to all the free exercise
of the rights of conscience ; to protect the liberties,
and to promote the welfare, of all classes of the com-
munity." The course of domestic policy which is
here intimated is truly worthy of the SOVEREIGN of
a free and enlightened people, and announced as it is
at the opening of a reign surrounded with so many
claims upon the hearts of that people, cannot fail to be
welcomed with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction. We
see that the QUEEN, though young, has already learnt
the important lesson, which none of her predecessors
could be made to understand—namely, that the " free
exercise of the rights of conscience" is perfectly com-
patible with the " maintenance of the Protestant reli-
gion." The truth is, that the Protestant religion, as
such, has no other foundation than the right here gua-
ranteed to the people of Great Britain ; for on no other
principle than that of the right of every man to judge
for himself in matters of religion, can the separation
from the Church of Rome be justified. This declara-
tion of her MAJESTY will no doubt be regarded as a
blow at the Church by that faction who are always ready
to acknowledge, in the abstract, the principle here laid
down ; while they oppose it might and main whenever an
attempt is made to reduce it to practice. Indeed we
should not be surprised if the Times should advance
it as an irrefragable proof of the truth of the calumny
on the QUEEN, to which it gave circulation not many
days ago, that her MAJESTY was going to
be married to a Papist. We also cordially
hail this annunciation in the Royal Speech as
an earnest that her MAJESTY'S Ministers intend to
carry forward with vigour the measure which they pro-
posed in the last Session, for relieving the Dissenters
from a burden which can be reconciled neither with
the rights of conscience nor the dictates of justice—
we mean the payment of Church-rates. The passage
of the Speech, to which we have referred, is, iu fact, a
public and solemn pledge to that effect. Let the Dis-
senters therefore remember this at the approaching
election, and use their utmost exertions to return
such Members as will by their support give Ministers
Ithe power of carrying into effect the intentions which
! they have so clearly manifested, and from which, if
properly supported, they cannot recede.

Foremost among the Notices of Motions, which
stand in the Order Book of the House of Commons
for next Session, are three by Sir ANDREW AGNEW—
one is not enough !—for the purpose of preventing
poor people from indulging in any innocent recreation
on the Sabbath Day. The Hon. Baronet proposes—
at least so we judge by the nature of his Notices—to
make them more perfectly miserable than he has yet at-
tempted to make them. Were his Sunday-starvation Bills
ever to pass into law, he would have the comfort of reflect-
ing that lie had contributed to make more suicides than
any dozen men in the three kingdoms. But \Till they
ever pass into a law, or will he ever be the means of
effecting that undesirable consummation ? Impos-
sitle. Sir ANDREW is a doomed man. Wigton-
shire, his forlorn hope, will have none of him, and
sure we are that no Scotch or English borough will
accept the rjected of Wigtonshire. Sir ANDREW
was always addicted to devout meTtations, and
he will henceforth have plenty of opi:ortunities of
enjoying them uninterrupted. Mr. MURRAY, of
BrOughton-kind, considerate gentleman I— will take
care that his spiritual reveries are not broken in upon
by any vulgar Parliamentary summons ; or diverted
from their natural channel by the obstreporous laughter
of an infidel House of Commons. Electors of Wig-
tonshire !—we entreat, we implore you, to avenge
the cause of the poor, and kick out this canting
Pharisee with every mark of contumely. Think
of the English poor who must be constantly ex-
posed to the fever of vexatious anticipations, if you do
not step in to rescue them from their apprehensions !
As you love to see men go about cleanly and cheerful
on Sundays, preferring the walk in the green fields,
or the Eve in the hired chaise, to remaining at home,
bilious, discontented, and half-starved—kick out Sir
ANDREW AGNEW ! Act towards him, as you will
shortly find us acting towards the rest of the Tories.
Command him abruptly—as Lady Macbeth com-
manded her supper party—to go, and " not stand
upon the order of his going." When business is con-
cerned, there needs no ceremony.

We beg, specially, to direct the attention of our
readers to the important and highly interesting pro-
ceedings that characterised the last meeting of the
General Association of Ireland. A condensed report
of the emphatic speech delivered by Mr. O'CONNELL
upon that occassion, and of the resolutions unani-
mously adopted by a numerous meeting, will be found
in another column under the head " Ireland." The
declared identity of public views and unity of purpose
with Lord DURHAM, affords, we think, a pleasing
prospect of that real Union being soon effected which
has been hitherto—nay, which is at this moment little
more than a mere name.

We have received the first Number of a series of
short (half-sheet) addresses, entitled " Talk with
Electors," which has just been published by Ridg-
way and Sons. As the object of these papers is to
impress upon the electors of Great Britain the im-
portance of the duties which they have to discharge at
this crisis—an object which we think them well cal-
culated to accomplish—we insert below the greater
portion of the first Number:—
If the future is to be learnt from the past, we may build
the most solid expectations of a decisive triumph, from a
comparison between the state of things, in which the ma-
jority of thirty was returned against the Tory Ministry in
/835, with the state of things in which the coming Appeal
will be made to the nation.

At the last General Election the question to the country
was, whether it would support the Tory Ministry of the
Monarch's choice ? The King had seized the opportunity,
apparently with eagerness, of dismissing his Liberal ad-
visers. The Court was notoriously Tory : his Majesty's
favourite associates were Tory, and it was reasonably in-
ferred that his views and opinions were Tory, and that
their bias would, sooner or later, tend to the overthrow of
any Liberal Ministry that might be forced upon him.
The Lords, too, were then as now Tory, and their
terms, the obstruction or nomination of the Government :
—and countenanced and encouraged by the Court, they
were prepared to go all lengths against the popular cause.
With these powers arrayed on the Tory side, Electors
upon the last appeal made to them by Sir Robert Peel, saw
nothing but troubles and difficulties before them. If, per-
haps, with some sacrifice to many of themselves, they suc-
ceeded in returning a Liberal majority to throw out the
Tory Ministry, yet what were the prospects of a Liberal
Government forced upon a Tory Monarch, and opposed by
a vast majority of the Lords, and by all those orders of
society whose opinions are shaped and fashioned by the
Court. The best that could be expected in these circum-
stances, was the existence of a Liberal Government unable
to do the good it desired, instead of a Tory Government
able to do some mischief, and in Ireland very considerable
mischief.
Notwithstanding these discouraging views, a majority
was returned to Parliament in 18:35, which, small as it
was, served to keep a Liberal Administration in office
against an adverse Court and House of Peers, and to keep
Ireland in Peace, and further to confer on the nation the
benefit of several valuable measures.
How different now are circumstances from those in
18:15, and if the result of the coming contest bears any
proportion to the improved state of things, bow far must
the victory exceed the most sanguine expectations that
have yet been formed.
Tile Sovereign at the age when impressions begin to be
received, has confided the Government to the Ministry she
found in
dtadoptedtinyiluemen who i

'etl'ltia anal
against the bitterest hostility of the Court, and the majority
of the Aristocracy, and all that Court and Aristocracy could
inihence or warp to their prejudices.
The Court, sa lately the hot-bed of Toryism, is now pu-

rifled. There is in its atmosphere nothing which the genius
of liberty may not healthily breathe. Scorn of what inte-
rests and concerns the people, will no longer be a fashion.
Hostility to the popular cause, will no longer be a
passport to Court favour. We will not, imitating the
indecency of Tory writers in the last reign, claim the Sove-
reign for a party, but her Majesty will naturally and pro-
perly be surrounded by the friends of her Government,
and she will not make the ill-omened distinction between
the friends of her people, and the friends of her choice.
In a just cause there is an immense advantage in hav-
ing a Sovereign untainted with prejudices, and in the
substitution of a Liberal for a Tory Court ; and these im-
mediate aduantages will he productive of other good conse-
quences, not the least important of which will be the effect on
the Lords, whose destructive policy has lost its highest coun-
tenance in the old Court of St. James's. The Lords have
been bold enough to set the people at defiance, but we are
egregiously mistaken indeed if they venture to oppose them-
selves both to the Commons and the Crown. Electors will
not now, as in 1835, choose their Representatives with a
melancholy conviction that all the good they propose to do,
the Lords, backed by the Court, will undo, but with a rea-
sonable expectation that the insolence of the Lords will pass
away with that which has been the main support of it. This,
however, is matter of speculation, and of subordinate spe-
culation. What the Lords may be disposed to do, is
immaterial, provided the Electors do their duty promptly,
unequivocally, and manfully. The coming Election
will be a manifesto of public opinion—to ratify or
annul the new Charter of popular rights and liber-
ties. Every Voter in the land may upon this occasion consi-
der himself as one of his young Sovereign's councillors, and as
in his suffrage advising her to pursue the course of progres-
sive improvement and religious liberty, or to fall back on
the iron rule of Toryism and intolerance. Every elector
who gives an honest vote, assists in the first great work of
conveying correct information to the Sovereign, and guard-
ing against the most fatal error into which monarchs can
fall. It should, and sure we are it will be felt a manly, a
generous, a chivalrous duty to place the true record of opi-
nion before the young and inexperienced Queen, and every
voter should feel, in addition to the usual obligation to the
honest discharge of his trust, that on this occasion he stands
in the great forum of the country as a witness before his
Queen, in behalf of the cause of the people.
At the beginning and end of a Session there is a speech
from the Throne to the two Houses of Parliament ; but
now, at the commencement of a reign, and of the reign of
a Sovereign so young, ingenuous, and apt for all good
impressions, there is in effect the speech surpassing all
others in importance, the speech of the people to the
Sovereign, and that speech the most significant that
can be spoken, the most lasting, the most mighty in its
consequences, is composed of the suffrages of Electors.
Every henest voter aids in informing his Sovereign of the
wants and wishes of her people ; and has his share of
honour and self-satisfaction for having done his part in
giving a popular impression and happy turn to the new
reign. Honest, eloquent, and argumentative as may be
the speeches of eminent Statesmen returned to the next
Parliament, there will be no speech among them more
honest, eloquent, and argumentative than the electors plain
vote for a true representative of popular interests and
opinions. The suffrage given now is the seed of all the
glorious good that may follow ; and the humble voter who
throws in the seed, may justly be prouder than the exalted
Statesman who reaps the fruit. With such an opportunity
who can doubt that the electors of the empire will be
true to themselves and to their young Queen. The ver-
dict that will give the stamp to the new reign rests with
them ; and woe to the traitor who, by a false verdict, be-
trays both the people and the Sovereign, for the cause of
both is bound up in the truth.

That most puissant of Princes and Potentates, the
King of HANOVER, has been graciously pleased to
place himself at the head of his army as Commander-
in-Chief. His MAJESTY, however, entertains no de-
signs dangerous to the peace of Europe. His assump-
tion of an office which must bring him into more fami•
liar intercourse with his troops has been made with a
tiew to obtain their suffrages for abolishing- the
Constitution. In the opinion of his MAJESTY
the sword has recently been deprived of its just
influence in the Councils and Government of Han-
over. Henceforth it is to be omnipotent in that
kingdom. The Constitution once abolished, the good
old system of sword-law will be speedily re-esta-
blished. Should his MAJESTY lack assistance to
perfect the work of despotism, which he has so ardently
undertaken, we can spare him some thousands of his
old associates in the Orange plot for changing the
order of the succession in England. There is nothing
for them to do here at present, and to get rid of them
her MAJESTY'S Ministers are quite willing to suspend
the Foreign Enlistment Act.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have
been received. The Moniteur officially notifies the
receipt of letters by the King of the FRENCH from the
King of HANOVER, announcing the death of WIL-
LIAM IV. and his own accession to the Throne of his
electoral ancestors. From Spain we have no news of
importance. The following telegraphic dispatch, re-
ceived by the French Government on Sunday, is
simply a confirmation of the intelligence communicated
to it on Saturday evening :

" BORDEAUX, JULY 15.—Advices from Saragossa of
the 12th inst. state that Espartero arrived on that day at
Calatayud, with eight battalions and two squadrons of the
Royal Guard, on his way to join Oraa's division, which was
before Teruel, and of which he was to take the command.
The Pretender was approaching towards Valencia, and his
guerillas were already within a league of that city.
" Some English artillerymen, of which the number is
not mentioned, were landed at Valencia on the Bth, by an
English vessel."

The accounts received from the north of Spain are
rather unfavourable. Of the British Auxiliary Le•
gion, not more than a thousand men have been pre-
vailed upon to re-enter the service of her Most Catho-
lic MAJESTY. Officers and men loudly demand the
payment of the arrears and gratuities yet remaining
due to them ; but the Commissioners sought to make
the payment of such arrears conditional, upon their
re-entering the QUEEN'S service—a suspicious, and
therefore very unwise proceeding. It is rumoured
that the King of the FRENCH has been prevailed
upon to sanction the enlistment of a new Foreign Le-
gion to serve in Spain.

The following are extracts from the papers :
We have received the Algerine Moniteur of the 7th
July, which continues to style itself the " Official Journal
of the Colony," in spite of the Ministerial declarations. In
the official part we find several decrees of the Governor-
General, which do not interest us ; and in the non-official
part we read that Lieut.-Colonel Delarue, Aide-de-Camp
to the Minister of War, arrived at Algiers on Thursday
morning, on board the Castor steamboat, coming from Oran.
We are assured that he will remain for some time, for the
accomplishment of his mission, about the Governor-General.

The news which we receive concerning the sanitory state
of the Regency of Tunis continues to be very satisfactory ;
and states that the plague was less fatal there than at
Tripoli.
It was reported at Tunis that Tahir Pachahad just been
recalled by the Sultan.
The Tou/onnais of the 12th says, " For some time it has
been observed that we have frequent communications by
sea with Barcelona. The Alerle arrived a few days ago ;
the Curnete brig sailed on the Bth ; the Egee corvette is
on the point of sailing for the coast of Catalonia ; and the
Lionise transport, it is said, will likewise proceed to the
same destination.

The squadrons of the Levant and of Africa have at pre-
sent only a nominal organisation on paper. The Admirals
who are to command them are in no hurry to arrive ; and
the ships remain idle in the roads.—Le Commerce.

His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper
Canada opened the extraordinary Session of the Le-
gislature, of which he had given notice, on the 20th
ult. In his speech from the Throne, the Lieutenant-
Governor informed the Members of the House of
Assembly that he had summoned them for the sole
purpose of devising means for the maintenance of pub-
litc credit, threatened by the failurez in the United
States ; and he recommended to them to adopt such
remedies as would convince England that the Cana-
dians were " true and just in all their dealings."

The late venerable Earl of Listowell is succeeded
in his titles and estates by his grandson Viscount Ennisrnore
(now Earl Listowell), who married Mrs. Windham, relict of
George Windl►am, Esq., of Cromer, Norfolk.

The number of omnibuses of all shapes which daily
traverse Paris amounts to upwards of four hundred. The
average receipt of each is forty francs, which forms a daily
total of sixteen thousa:-,d francs, collected by six sous per trip.
