THIS DAY.) i THE SOULT AND WELLINGTON
SUN."

The Proprietors of The Sun newspaper have kindly for-
warded to us a copy of their paper, with admirable me-
dallion likenesses of those veteran warriors the Duke of
Wellington and Marshal Soult. As specimens of art, they
are exceedingly well executed ; the profiles appear to stand
out from the sheet in bas relief. We can, from our own
knowledge, vouch, that the likeness of the " Duke" is
perfect ; and we under stand from persons who have repeat-
edly seen Marshal Soult, that his is equally true to the ori-
ginal. We have likewise been favoured with a copy of
the " Golden Sun," which has a faithful resemblance of our
maiden Queen, done in a similar style, the letter-press being
in gold ! 'l7w Sun had already achieved a high character
for itself by the rapidity of its " expresses," and its laudable
endeavours to procure early intelligence, (would that we
could speak in terms as flattering of the politics it advo-
cates,) but this eclipses all its former efforts, and is totally
unprecedented in newspaper history. We wish sincerely
that it may be as productive of emolument as it is of credit
to the publishers.—Derry Sentinel.
We have received a " Double Sun," containing medallions
of the Queen, Duke of Wellington, and Marshal Soult.
the productions reflect the highest credit on the artists, and
furnish another iustance of the spirited exertions of Murdo
Young, Esq., the Proprietor.—Sheffield Chronicle.
We have much pleasure in bearing our testimony to the
achievements of the spirited Proprietor of The Sail
Newspaper ; of these, the likenesses of Wellington and Soult
form chef d'oeuvres in the art of Newspaper Typography.
The execution of these two medallions is most beautiful
and they reflect the highest honour upon all who have as-
assisted to produce so admirable and so unrivalled a work T.
—Devonshire Chronicle.
We have on our table the " Golden Sun," and the Double
Number of August 5, with medallion portraits of Marshal
Soult and the Duke of Wellington, with interesting bio-
graphical sketches of these warriors. These are every
where acknowledged to be the highest efforts of the kind
which the enterprise of the Press has ever achieved.—Ayr
Advertiser.
Mr. Young has achieved another triumph in Newspaper
illustrations. The " Double Sun," received yesterday, is
ornamented with medallion heads of Marshal Soult and the
Duke of Wellington, of surpassing beauty. Those who
have seen the bust of the Queen in the " Golden Sun"
will form some idea of the spirit, correctness, and finish of
these beautiful specimens of the difficult art of medallion
engraving. Mr. Young has contributed some pleasing. and
appropriate verses to this Number of his excellent Journal.

The " Double Sun," containing beautiful medallion por-
traits of her Majesty, Marshal Soult, and the Duke Of
Wellington, with characteristic memoirs, original anec-
dotes, &c., has been received at this office. The likenesses
are remarkably faithful, and the execution is considered ad-
mirable. Fac-similes of the handwriting are annexed to
each portrait. The ornamental appendages are splendid
the literary illustrations most appropriate.—Limerick
Chronicle.
We have been kindly favoured by the Proprietor of
The Sun with a copy of the publication of the sth instant,
containing two beautifully executed portraits of the Duke
of Wellington and Marshal Soult, with interesting bio-
graphical Memoirs of these celebrated Generals. We
have also received a copy of " The Coronation Sun," the
twenty-fourth edition, printed in gold, and containing all
admirable portrait of her Majesty the Queen, with an his-
torical record of the Coronation ceremonies, well worthy
of preservation. The admirable execution of the whole re-
flects great credit on Mr. Young, the Proprietor of The
Sun, and to that gentleman we beg to express our thanks
for his kind attention.—Ballyshannon Herald.
We have received a copy of The Sun Newspaper, con-
taining two beautifully executed medallion prints of Mar'
shal Soult and the Duke of Wellington. They are
finished in the first-rate style, and altogether reflect greet
credit upon the artist. Mr. Young deserves great credit
for the manner in which The Sun is conducted.—Slig°
Champion.
We have been favoured with a copy of what is ca
llea
the " Sunday Sun," containing engraved portraits of Mar-
shal Soult and the Duke of Wellington. Souk's is an att-
mirable likeness, and Wellington's is also singularly good-
The entire paper is, of all the attempts that we have see"'
to give a decoratis e character to the political Press, the
most happily successful. We cannot go quite so far as the
worthy publisher, and say that each of the portraits, is
worth a guinea ; but, unquestionably, nothing of the Pw-
tura kind has ever come under our notice, which was at
once so cheap and so admirable.—Berwick Journal.
