HALF-PAST ONE O'CLoCX.
The general topic of conversation this morning entirely relates to
the news from Canada, which in the minds of the well.informed is
looked upon with suspicion, and very little credit is given to the ac-
counts inserted in the American Papers. The chief observations of the
public relate to the conduct of the American Government, not
only in suffering the rebels to assemble on their frontiers
but committing all descriptions of robberies, breaking open their
arsenals, and plundering the citizens of their property, in defiance of the
laws of the United States—surely the American Government
in that weak state as to suffer such acts of violence on their own terri.
cannot be
tory, by a few outcasts, who at the approach of regular troops, fly in all
directions—it cannot be otherwise than the American Government
wink at the proceeding, tendening to a breach of neutrality,
There has been little doing in the Consol market during the course
of the morning, and they may be quoted at present at 031 buyers,

In the Share Market the only one worth notice Is Asphalt., which on
Saturday was at a premium of 21, and this morning it fell to 12 prem.,
but a reaction has taken place, and they are now at 14 prem.

WEEKLY TRUE SUN.

TO OUR READERS.

Fom the renewal of our connection with the Press, we
have candidly avowed our objects to be the advocacy and
advaicement of opinions, which we deem to be of prime im-
portnee to the well-being of society—and the realization of
a far remuneration for our toil, as indispensable to our per-
sona comfort and political independence. These ends we
had loped to secure, by producing the largest amount of de-
siralle intelligence at the least possible cost. As the
sole object in alluding to ourselves is to vindicate the
couch we are compelled to take, and not to elicit
eithe. succour or sympathy, al we shall confine our-
selvis to this statement, that owing, either to the
comiarative smallness of the Liberal party ; or to their
pines, or to their poverty, or to the combination of these
calms, the Evening True Sun, after great efforts and serious
sacrfices was reluctantly abandoned. We flattered ourselves
the 'essation of that paper would have so far largely aug-
men ed the sale of the Weekly True Sun, as to have enabled
us b adhere to the small price of Fourpence. In
this we are disappointed ; for though our sale aye-
rages ten thousand copies a-week, yet from the size
of he Paper (considerably larger than the Examiner,
whirls charges Sixpence, and as large as the Spectator,
whies charges Ninepence), and the cost of composi-
tion,the press, and other disbursements, we find that the gross
recepts do not meet the actual outlay, in which no allowance
whaever is made either for the wear and tear of materials and
maciinery, nor a farthing compensation to the individual,
who,e name is indicated by the initials affixed to this address.
Wits these facts staring us in the face, and feeling that the
labourer is worthy of his hire, we have resolved to raise the
pries of the Weekly True Sun, on and from the Ist of April,
to tle price of Fivepence ; which is the same as charged by
all he Morning and Evening Papers in London.

D. W. H.

(\Ve have copied the above from the Weekly True Sun of
yes;erday. Of course there can be no doubt that the initials
denote the Liberal Member for Southwark. We cordially
concur in the sentiments avowed in the address, which is
characteristic of Mr. HARVEY'S usual candid and straight-
forward manner. We cannot help at the same time re-
gretting that there should have been any occasion for such
an appeal to the Radical, or professed Liberal portion of the
community. We see no such appeals to the Conservatives,
simply because they support their friends, and those who advo-
cate their principles. Not so the Radicals—and wherefore ?
Surely that party can support a weekly paper exclusively,
conscientiously, and very meritoriously devoted to their
interests. We do not see why Mr. HARVEY should ❑ot at
once raise the price of his paper to sixpence, for its large
size, various information, and political ability, as compared
with other journals, fully justify such a price. Instead
of a circulation of 10,000, the Radicals,if sincere in the cause
which they profess, ought at least to take double or treble that
number, and thereby place one of their best champions in a
position of pecuniary independence, consonant with the whole
tenor of his past political life. No public man has sacri-
ficed more in the cause of the people than Mr. HARVEY,
and it will be long before the people will find another ad-
vocate of equal ability, or one so devoted to the progress of
Reform both in Church and State. Mr. HARVEY'S ad-
dress is manly and independent, and the Liberals would do
well to remember that " the labourer is worthy of his
hire." If the people are not true to themselves, by doing
justice to their friends, what inducement is there for public
men to sacrifice their talents, time, and independence, at the
shrine of ingratitude?—En. Sun.]

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)

DUBLIN.
CLOSE OF THE PROCEEDINGS.

At the sitting of the Committee this morning, Mr. Thessiger
said, that he had a communication to make to them, which he
doubted not would be received by them with the greatest satis-
faction. Since the last meeting of the Committee counsel for
petitioners had looked into their case, and considering the
position in which they stood in reference to the various deci-
sions to which the Committee had already come, they
had found that they could not proceed further with
a hope of success proportioned to the expense that
would ne;essarily be incurred by both parties. Under these
circumstances they had determined upon abandoning the pe-
tition, but before doing sohe wished to state to the Committee
that the petition had been framed principally in reliance on the
decisions of the last Dublin Committee—decisions which they
believed to have been founded in truth, reason and justice, and
under which they had been able to sweep away large masses of the
constituency who had voted for Mr. O'Connell. The present
Committee had, however, over-ruled all these decisions with but
one exception, and although there were yet grounds which might
justify them in proceeding further, the expense would be so
great that, under all the circumstances, Counsel had recom-
mended to the agents, rather to abandon the petition.
Notice had been given to the agents on the other side, and
they now withdrew any further opposition to the return of
Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton.

Mr. AUSTIN, for the sitting Members, said that he was perfectly
satisfied with the course pursued by the other side, and the more
so because he felt he deserved the victory. His Learned
Friend, however, was not quite correct in saying that the Com-
mittee had over-ruled all the decisions of the previous Com-
mittee, with one exception, the fact being that they had over-
ruled only two out of the entire—one being the necessity of
making a demand for the paying the tax, and the other that
the pipe-water rate was not a municipal cess. He, how-
ever, would now accept the resignation of the petitioners,
and he would not press for any further decision,
than that his clients were duly elected.
The room was then ordered to be cleared, and on the re-
admission of strangers, the Chairman announced the decision
of the Committee as follows :

" That Daniel V O'Connell and Robert Hutton, Esqrs.,
were duly elected to serve in Parliament as burgesses for the
city of Dublin.

;` That the petition of Edward Cottingham and others was
not frivolous or vexatious.

" That the opposition to said petition wax not frivolous or
vexatious.

" And further, that the Committee had altered the poll by
ttriking off the name of Thomas Kenner."

SHAFTESBURY.
The Counsel for the sitting Member this morning proceeded
to make out a case of treating against the petitioner.
The evidence, &c., will probably occupy all day.
(The conclusion will be given in a Second Edition. )
