THE SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESS AND

MINISTERIAL REFORM BILL.

-(From the Chester Chronicie:)
We cannot omit this opportunity of expressing bur obligations
and those of the public generally, to the spirited conductors of
The Sun London Evening Paper, not only for its talented and
uncompromising advocacy of a full and substantial Reform, but
for the extraordinary exertions they have repeatedly male to
convey to the most remote corners of the United Kingdom, im-
portant intelligence upwards of twenty-four hours earlier than it
could have arrived in the ordinary course. A memorable in-
stance of this occurred in the case of the Reform Bill on Tues-
day night. The Sun of that evening contained in six closely
printed columns, besides the London Gazette, an excellent report
not only Of Ford John, Russell'sgpeech, (whiCh wag not com-
nienced until ',aft six o'clOck) but it.great portien of the wordy
nonsense let off in opposition to it by the Hon. Baronet the
representative of the University of Oxford. An express des-
patched front The Sun Office .nearly three hours after the depar-
ture of the mail, arrived at Liverpool and all parts of the north
about two hours before the mail. By this means the papers were
forwarded from Liverpool by the Dublin packet at five o'clock on
Wednesday evening, and the glad tidings of Reform thus pro-
claimed throughout the greater part of Ireland the next day.
By this means, too, we are this day enabled (being favoured with
an express copy) to lay before our readers the particulars of the
Ministerial plan of Reform, which would not reach us, in the
ordinary course of the London Evening Journals, until an hum-
an Thursday evening when the (lira/acre had been already nearly
an hour at press.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The reception which the Ministerial plan for Reform has ex-
perienced in this town, has, we are happy to state, been one of
the most cordial, we might almost say of the most enthusiastic
and unanimous kind. All parties, to whatever political sect they
may have been accustomed to attach themse:ves, seem pleased
with it to a degree that we could hardly have conceived pos-
sible. Even many of those who are usually designated radicals
profess to be quite satisfied with what Ministers propose. Highly
gratified as we have been by the plan itself, and the mode el its
being brought befi:re Parliament, we have also been much pleased
at seeing the way in whichpand the persons by whom, it has been
resisted. As yet not one single Member of the House of Com-
mons, whose opinions on any subject we.have been accustomed to
regard with deference, has expressed himself hostile to it. The
black-letter pedantry of Sir Robert Inglis, the solemn insolent
dulness of Mr. Horace Twiss, and the strangely eccentric oratory
of Sir Char:es Wetherell will utterly fail to convince the people
of England that the Constitution of the House of Commons is
what it ought to be, or that the danger to be apprehended from
such a Reform as Ministers propose, is at all to be compared with
what may be anticipated if Reform be obstinately denied.

(Flom the Newcastle Chronicle.)
It is with feelings of no ordinary exultation and gratification
that we commit this week's Paper to the hands of our readers.
We have lived in eventful times, but great as have been many
of the events which it has been onr fortune to record, they sink
into co:nparative insignificance with the great measure which
will be found detailed in our subsequent columns. By the extra..
ordinary exertions of The Sun Newspaper, we are enabled to lin.-
nish our readers with a very faithful report of the speech of
Lord John Russell, in the House of Commons, on Tuesday
night last, giving s detail of the measure of Reform proposed by
the present Ministers. The perusal of this speech will most
clearly show that it is one of the most extensive and beneficial
nature. It is indeed a most triumphant disapproval of the ca-
lumnies and taunts of insincerity with which so many have been
pleased to assail the Whigs; and to it we appeal as a full justifi-
cation of the confidence we haw c reposed not only in the party.
but in the Noble Premier who is now its acknowledged head, and
of whom our county has so much reason to be proud. And to us
it is not the least recommendation that it is the measure of Earl
Grey himself, who, we are convinced it will be acknowledged
by all, has most fully entitled himself to the title which, a few
weeks ago we said must ever be attached to his name, of the
Father of Reform. We have not, however, room to give free
utterance to the feelings of gratification which the announce-
ment has given us ; but happily it is not necessary. The public,
as far as it has been known, have most unequivocally pro-
nounced their satisfaction anti approval of the measure, and this
feeling, we arc sure, will find an echo in every quarter that the
details may reach.

(Fro the Cambrian
The spirited Proprietorsm of The Sun, anxious
to supply the
readers of that Paper with the latest information on the all-en-
grossing subject of Parliamentary Reform, inserted in a late edi-
tion of their Tuesday's publication the whole of Lord John Rus-
sell's speech (five columns), and forwarded the same, by express,
to various parts of the kingdom. The express reached Bristol
just before the mail started for Wales, and we were fortunate
enough to procure a copy from a friend, who purchased it at the
moment he was entering the coach. Thus, the Noble Lord's
admirable speech was read at Swansea, a distance of O 5 miles
from the metropolis, within 25 hours after its delivery in the
House of Commons!

(From the Caledonian Mercury.)
It was to the extraordinary exertions made by the proprietors
of The Sun newspaper, that we were indebted for the means of
publishing in a third edition of our Thursday's paper, a full report
of Lord John Russell's speech on Tuesday evening. The Sun
sent off' two expresses with the report of the debate up to eleven
o'clock, one by York, which reached Morpeth in time for the
curricle mail, the other by Carlisle, which were both duly
received at The Sun office here, by Mr. Sommerville,
the active agent for that paper in Edinburgh. We think
it only fair to give that tribute of commendation to
our active and spirited contemporary which he is fairly
entitled to from the public and ourselves. And now to
the measure itself. We know no terms strong enough to express
the feelings of unmingled delight and satisfaction which we have
experienced on reading the expose of the Ministerial plan. It is
complete in all its parts ; equally efficient in rooting out and
sweeping off the rotten and unsound parts of the representation ;
in the principles (population and property) winch have dictated
the selection of the new classes to whom the franchise is ex-
tended: and the improved mode of election.
(From the Berwick Advertiser.)
The spirited proprietors of that excellent Journal The Sun, con-
tinue their indefatigable exertions, and spare no expense in pro-
curing and communicating the earliest intelligence on all sub.
jects of national importance.. On Tuesday evening, three hours
atter the departure of the mail, they despatched expresses in all
directions, conveying, in six closely printed columns, Lord John
Russell's opening speech on the interesting subject of Reform.
The express sent to this quarter came up to the mail yesterday
morning at Belford, and thence proceeded to the north by the
west road. Such liberal efforts have indubitably a strong claim
to the gratitude of the public, and will certainly not be allowed
to pass unrewarded, and without a corresponding encouragement.
This grand question, to the solution of which the country has
been looking with the most intense anxiety for the last three
months, and for which myriads, nay, waggon loads, of petitions
from the most wealthy and the most intelligent among all ranks
have been presented to both houses of Parliament, from every
corner of the united empire, has as at last been developed. On
Tuesday evening, Lord John Russell, the warm advocate of Re.
form, in the House of Commons explained at great length, and
with his usual eloquence and vigour, the plan of Reform agreed
to by Ministers; and candour obliges us to say that it it fully
snore liberal than was generally expected.
(From the Glasgow Journal.)
It is owing to an express sent by the public spirited Proprietor
of The Sun, that a full report of Lord John Russell's scheme of
Reform was received this evening. •
(From the Glasgow Herald.)
As. on former occasions, we have to express our gratitude to
the proprietors of The Sun newspaper for their great liberality in
forwarding copies of their paper, with nearly six columns of re-
port of Tuesday's debate. They did not overtake the Glasgow
mail till it had reached Carlisle.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle.)
At the hour of the London mail's arrival yesterday, both the
Exchanges were thronged with people anxiously wailing for the
intelligence re3pecting Parliamentary Reform. In the Royal
Exchange, Mr. Bell, the Secretary, mounted a table properly
situated for the purpose, and read the principal parts of Lord
John Russell's speech, from The Sun Newspaper, surrounded by
a large crowd of gentlemen, who repeatedly cheered the annouce-
ments made in the speech, particularly those regarding Scotland,
and especially the extension of representation to Glasgow. Mr.
Alison, who took the trouble of counting them, found the num-
ber present to be about 900. In the Tontine Coffee-room, the
principal parts of the speech were also read by Mr. Thomas At.
kinson, jun.

Intense interest was excited in Greenock last night on the ar-
rival' of the mail, bringing the express of The Sun, containing
the Ministerial plan of deform. The two Coffee-rooms were
crowded, and groups of people were assembled in the streets,
anxiously waiting to hear the details of Lord John Russell's
speech. By an error in reporting Greenock was omitted among
the towns to be disfranchised. In one of the rooms (the Old
Coffee-room) the plan was received with three cheers ; while in
the New Coffee-room much dissatisfaction was expressed at the
absurdity of proposing to give a Member to Leith and none to
Greenock, the first sea-port in Scotland, and the third in the
empire. A requisition was drawn out, and signed by a number
of the most influential and respectable inhabitants, and presented
to the Magistrates, calling on them to convene a meeting of the
inhabitants of Greenock, to take into consideration the propriety
of petitioning for leave to return a Member for Greenock and
its vicinity ; and in less than two hours after the arrival of the
mail the Magistrates complied with the requisition. The meet-
ing was to have been held on Monday next, but will happily now
be useless.

(From the Scots Times.)
Satisfied as we are that public attention is,_ and indeed ought to
be, engrossed by this great measure, we have devoted a large
portion of our sheet to the discussions which have taken place
upon it in the House of Commons, to the exclusion of all other
l'arliamentary intelligence. The speech of Lord John Russell
we have given entire from The Sun—to whose conductors we are
bound, in common with the provincial Press, to return our
warmest thanks for the great, though with them not uncommon
zeal, to put their readers in early possession of its interesting
details—and we have done so, not merely on account of its in-
trinsic merits, its perspicuity, candour, and judgment, but be-
cause we think it due to the authors of the measure to present it
as nearly as poSsible in their own words. In reference to the
measure itself, though it may not be all thata thorough Reformer
wishes, though it is scarcely what we ourselves conceive the
country to be entitled to, particularly as it affects Scotland, we
arc bound to state that it goes farther than we expected the Mi-
nisters to venture with the present House of Commons. Nay,
snore, we state fearlessly that so far deer this measure go, that we
think every Reformer in the country is now bound to support the
Administration that has proposed it.
(From the Edinburgh Eveni,g Courant.)
The public of Scotland are deeply indebted to the spirit and en-
terprise of the proprietors of The Sun Newspaper. By their exer-
tions copies of their paper containing a full report of Lord John
Russell's speech on the Reform Question, were re dived here at
two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, only Lout forty hours after it
was delivered.

(From the Warwick Advertiser.)
The highly-important measure of Reform, brought into the
House of Commons, on Tuesday night, by Lord John Russell,
and which we have given at length in our preceding pages, was
looked for in this, as well as every other place in the united king-
doin, with the most intense anxiety. The great Catholic ques-
tion itself did not raise the public mind to so high and ardent a
state of excitation. The news first reached this borough, from
Birmingham, about eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning, in
The Sun Paper. This is not the first time we have thus publicly
contributed our small meed of praise to the proprietary of The
Sun, for their zeal and activity, regardless of trouble and ex-
pense, in communicating the earliest news of important events
to the whole of the British public ; and whilst we do that, we
do not by any means intend to confine our approbation solely to
the proprietors of that Paper, but most willingly extend it to
every effective individual of that most respectable establishment.

(From the Glasgow Free Press.)
We should be very ungrateful were we not (mished for room
as we are) to notice in this place the extraordinary exertions of
The Sun Newspaper, to supply the country with the earliest de-
tails of the RefOrm questions, by means ot' repeated editions and
expresses despatched to every quarter of the kingdom. Such ex-
traordinary promptitude and disregard :of expense • entitle this
spirited Journal to universal support.
We have been most agreeably disappointed! We expected
little from the present Ministry, and have obtained much Their
measure of Reform is, under all the circumstances, more liberal
and manly than the public had almost any cause to anticipate;
and it therefore will be hailed by every real friend of his country
and to public order, with sincere delight. It is by no means all
we could have wished' ; yet it is so much beyond what we •had
reason to hope for, that we are bound in candour to assume, that,
had Ministers been able to give us inure, they would have done
it iand hence we regard it as the bounden duty of the people at
tins critical moment, to come frankly forward in their support,
and, throwing all particular prejudices and individual wishes to
the winds, to declare to them their gratitude, and their resolution
to support them against all opposition. And why ought they to.
do this ? Because the present measure will give to us the power
of ultimately obtaining all that we want I Reform needs only a

favourable beginning, in order to be Aniahed with Complete stle.
cess at last; and that the beginning thus proposed is a favour.
able one, none but the most factious and unreasonable will deny.
As a proof of the immense anxiety felt here on Thursday toascer.
thin the nature Of the, Ministerial Measure of, Reform, we may
mention that; at the time the mail arrived.: the New Exchange
Was crowded with atomic nine infinite(' gentlemen ; an 1, when it
was learned by them that Cie:VW *Vas to tare two Member::; an
enthusiastic shout spontanously burst from them All, indit'ative
of their high satisfaction at that particular fact—and indeed at
the details of the measure generally.

(From the Carlisle Journal.)
At length we have the satisfaction of laying before our readers
the Ministerial plan of Reform ; and before we go farther we must
say we have been most disagreeably disappointed by it. When the
present Ministry took office we said we had no confidence in
them. The titil Lilt an the treyfates Pitliteed ni to stv3pect
them tif double dealing, Or 8f a f.-:ant of the Oiergy necessary fOr
carrying them through a great trisis TI Refpo question Was,
however, the grand test ; and we do most sineerely rejoice that
they have stood it nobly.

(From the Western Times.)
On Tuesday evening Lord John Russell laid before the House
of Commons the anxiously expected plan of Parliamentary Re-
form. Although eve do not find in it some measures which we,
as well as many other warm friends of Reform may have wished
and even considered as very Important, yet we cannot regard
the proposed plan otherwise than as that Which calls for the full
and unqualified support of the people.
(From the Manchester Courier.) •
The exprea9 cont'exing The Sun Newspaper, With a full report
of Lord John Russell's speech On Parliamentary Reform, which
left London at half-past eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, arriVed
at Manchester at two o'clock on Wednesday; thus travelling the
distance in the unprecedentedly short space of fourteen hours
and a half ! The time occupied by the mail in performing the
same journey (ISO miles), is nineteen hours and a half. (N. B. The
journey performed by The Sun express was 196 miles in fourteen
hours and a half.—En. Sux.)
The Ministerial project for the Reform el Parliament is now
before the country. So far as our representative sysilem is con-
Cerned, the plan is not one of Refortn, IPat of revolution. It will
affect not only the nuniber of electors and the qiialifiestion of
voters, but the very constitution of the House Of Commons. The
aches e does not, indeed, include annual Parliaments and vote
by ballot, but it verges as nearly as possible upon universal suf-
frage. It is, in fact, so radical, as to please the radicals them.
selves, for though it does not give them all they want, they can
easily perceive that it will greatly facilitate the accomplishment
of their ultimate designs.
(From the Coventry Herald.)
An express arrived in this city on Wednesday morning, by
nine o'clock, with an edition of The Sun, containing the debate
to twelve o'clock of the previous night. The industry and
enterprise of. the conductors of this journal are unrivalled. -
(From the Leeds Intelligencer.)
By the great and expensive exertions of the proprietors of
The Sun newspaper, a second edition of that journal, containing
a full report of Lord John Russell's Reform Speech, arrived in
Leeds, at Mr. Mann's, by express, at five o'clock this morning.
We have to tender our thanks for a copy most promptly sent
to the Intelligence?. office.
(From the Birmingham Journal.)
The Ministerial expose of Lord John Russell on Reform, ar-
rived in this town on Wednesday morning, in a second edition of
The Sun, soon atter eight o'clock. Mr. Young, the proprietor of
this paper, in order to overtake the various mails with his ex-
press edition, actually sent an express before him to have relays
of horses ready. He lett London about half-past eleven o'clock,
three hours after the Liveiyool and Holyhead mails, the former
of which he caught just as it was leaving the post-office in this
town ; the latter he overtook at Coleshill.
In consequence of the glorious news received this week, a re-
quisition is in course of signature to the High Bailiff, to call a
public meeting for the purpose of expressing the determination
of the town to support the King and his Ministers in their plan of
Parliamentary Reform. The meeting is expected to be held some
day next week. The requisition is already very numerously
signed by leading men 61 all parties.
should the motion of Lord John Russell pass, a general illu-
mination in this town is contemplated on Monday night.
(From the Gloucester Journal.)
At length the great Ministerial measure of Parliamentary Re-
form has been divulged, and we hesitate not to express our opi-
nion, that it will be in the highest degree satisfactory to the great
majority of the country. It is bold, extensive, and efficient, and
we earnestly hope it may be carried into full and early effect.
The Ministers have nobly redeemed the pledge they gave the
country on entering into office, and whether they succeed or not
in this project, they have undoubtedly entitled themselves to the
gratitude of the people for bringing it forward. The report of
the speech of Lord John Russell was eagerly looked for in this
city on Wednesday, and was first conveyed here through the
medium of an express edition of The Sun *Newspaper, to the pro-
prietors of which eve have to acknowledge our obligations for
their considerate attention.
(From the Kent Herald.)
By the indefatigable exertions of the spirited conductors of
The Sun London Evening Newspaper, we received an Express
Edition of that Journal early on Wednesday morning, contain-
ing the whole of Lord John. Russell's speech on the Reform
question, delivered on Tuesday night in the House of Commons,
thus reported, printed, and conveyed to a distance of more than
s'i miles, in the incredibly short space of I 0 or 12 hours.

(From the Salopian Journal.)
By the great kindness of the Proprietors of The Sun News-
paper, we are enabled to lay before our readers the following out-
line of the plan of Reform brought forward in the House of
Commons last night, by Lord John Russell; which we copy from
an Edition of The Sun forwarded to us by express.

(From the Stamford Bee.)
We cannot withhold our wannest meed of praise from the Pro-
prietors of The Sun Newspaper, through whose enterprize and
extraordinary despatch we were furnished with a full and very
able report of Lord John Russell's speech upwards of 21 hours
before the usual arrival of the mail.

(From the Bristol Gazette.).
For the report we have given, we have to acknowledge our
obligations to the very great exertions of the Proprietors of The
Sun London ewspaper, copies of which, containing the whole of
Lord John Russell's speech, and forwarded by express, reached
this city this morning about half-past ten o'clock.

(From the Dublin Morning Register.)
The Ministerial plan of Reform has been laid before Parlia-
ment, and we are free to confess that there is a great deal in it
which merits the warmest approbation.

(From the Berkshire Chronicle.)
We feel it our duty to return, publicly, our thanks to the pro-
prietors of The Sun islewspaper for their liberality in forwarding
us a copy (by express) of their Journal, containing the first inteL
ligence of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill. Disagreeing totally
with the political principles of our talented cotemporary, we have
great pleasure in acknowledging his abilities and public spirit.—
Our readers will scarcely credit that nearly six columns of the
debate on Tuesday evening were printed in the express edition of
The Sun, which we received before eight o'clock on Wednesday
morning. . •
(From the York Chronicle.)
We received an express edition of The Sun Evening Paper last
night, soon after six o'clock, containing the whole of Lord John
Russell's speech, in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening,
and the subsequent proceedings up to eleven o'clock, three hours
after the mail left London.

(From the Leamington Spa Courier.)
An express arrived in Coventry on Wednesday morning, by
nine o'clock, with an edition of The Sun, containing the debate
up to twelve o'clock of the previous night. The industry and
enterprise of the conductors of this Journal arc unrivalled.
(From the Sheffield Mercury.)
The intentions of his Majesty's Ministers respecting the all-ab-
sorbing question of Parliamentary Reform, are now before the
public. Lord John Russell introduced the measure in the House
of Commons on Tuesday evening, and with that measure the
people of England will be abundantly satisfied. The borough
proprietors may rage and tremble, but Ministers have acted
wisely in discarding those gentry, and in casting themselves for
support upon popular opinion. As a whole, the plan of Reform
proposed by Government is highly satisfactory. It is bold,
sweeping, and efficient. It attacks corruption in its high places;
destroys that injurious power which has been so long and so
shamefully abused by the landed aristocracy—takes away the
vested interests or those who have so long sneered at the rightful
interests of the productive classes—indeed it disappoints us only
in that it is more efficient, more likely to benefit the country
than we were prepared to hope or expect.

(From the Lincoln herald,)
The Editor of this Journal has to express his best thanks for
the polite attention of the Editor of The Sun Newspaper, in air-
warding by the express from The Sun Office, a copy of the Se-
cond Edition of The Sun of Tuesday, containing the entire re-
port of Lord John Russell's speech on his Reform Bill. The ex-
press we understand left The Sun Office as late as one o'clock in
the morning of Wednesday, and reached Grantham about ten
minutes before ten. The parcel containing the Second Edition
for the Editor of this Journal : arid two cOpies ter the Mayor of
Lincoln, was then given to the Grantham coach, and reached
this city at half-pait one o'clock ; thus (including the allowance
for the difference of the coach rate'from Grantham) traversing
the distance in little better than twelve hours. It was calculated
that the express from The Sun Office would overtake the north
.mail about Doncaster.

(From the Nett Briton.)
From the brief statements that have been received of the corn-
inencetnent of the speech of Lord John Russell, on introducing
this most important question , we are truly gratified to find that
Ministers have kept faith with the country. If the outline of
the measure that we have been favoured with be correct, as we
believe it to be, its adoption will do away the printipal evils of
the detested and demoralizing borough system, and we shall
hare House of Commons which will truly represent the
people. phis great end once secured, the means of attaining
every fair and honourable object; of obtaining the redress
of every public grievance; as far as human measures can do so,
will be placed within our reach; and this is the greatest good
that legislation can supply.

(Frosts the Dublin Morning Register.)
Every honest man must be a supporter of reforming Whigs
against boroughmongering and plundering' Tories; and if there
be a general election, Ireland must put forth her strength, as
she had done when the last battle was to be fought for Catholic
freedom. We "sincerely trust Ministers are sure of an easy
victory, but whatever success may attend their effbrts at the out-
set, no means should be left untried of proving to them, and to
the world, that they have on the present occasion the sympathy
of every being deserving the name of Irishmen. It has been
suggested that a public meetiag on the Reform question should
be got up forthwith in Dublin. The suggestion is an exceedingly
good one, and we hope it will be followed up suitably in the
high quarter in which it originated. It should be remembered
that the voice of Dublin has not yet spoken out on the great and
momentous question of Reform.
(From the Manchester Times.)
Our readers know that we are advocates of the broadest possi-
ble suffrage, of the annual exercise of the elective right, and of
the protection aflbrded to the electors by secret voting, and that
consequently no scheme of Reform which does not embrace all
these points can receive our unqualified approbation. But we
never allowed our wishes so far to get the better of our judg-
ment as to suppose that we should have a perfect system of repre-
sentation all at once. We have looked forward to a prolonged
contest in which we should gain a little now and a little
then, and thus be enabled to take fresh ground and to
press forward till complete victory was obtained. %\
did not of course expect that even the most zealously
reforming Administration, considering the strength of adverse
interests which would have to be encountered, would venture to
propose anything like a perfect scheme of representation. We
have now the scheme before us, and though it falls far short of
what we demand, and which we believe we shall ultimately and at
no distant period obtain, it is a great deal better than we ex-
pected, and Ministers have our most hearty thanks for it, and
they shall have our most strenuous support to carry it into effect,
should the boroughowners, as it is probable they will, force
them to appeal to the country.
(From the Stqffordshire Mercury.)
The pleasure which Lord John Russell's speech has (lift-Wed
throughout the. kingdom, is not unmixed with apprehension lest
the marshalled forces of theboroughmongers should pot only de-
feat the measure of Reform, but bear down the Government
from which it emanates. This must not be. The most patriotic
Monarch that ever swayed the sceptre of this empire, must not

sort. Already public meetings are taking place for the purpose

ing them the unqualified oupport of the people. This count) ,

has set an example of Teal and promptitude which cannot be too
much.commended. A numerous meeting was held at Wolver
hampton yesterd.,y ; and we now pitblish the most respectable
requisition ever presented to the Chief Bailiff of this town, for a
meeting to be held on Monday. We hope our neighbours, to a
man, will show that they are not insensible to the impolitance of
the measure. The. rights for which Ministers, on behalf of the
people, are now contending, should be withheld from the inha:
14-ints of that city, town, or county, which refuses to speak out
on this momentous occasion.

The Sun, dated Lincoln, March 6, 1831 :
Sta,—You justly anticipated, and laudably gratified the in-
tense anxiety with which the people in this city awaited the pro-
duction of Lord Russell's plan of Reform ; but, Sir, if it be pos-
sible for a still greater degree of excitement to exist in the hu-
man mind, it certainly does prevail in this part of the kingdom
as to the result of the division.

I am, Six', your obedient servant,
• WILLIAM SQUIRE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—ln my two-fold capacity, as Mayor of this city and joint
proprietor and editor of the Gloucester Journal, I beg to offer
you my best thanks for your transmission of four copies of the
express edition of The Sun. At this interesting crisis they were
in the highest degree acceptable, particularly as none of the
Morning Papers of yesterday were published in time for the
coaches to bring down. I shall be happy to take the first oppor-
tunity of personally expressing the obligation.
I remain, Sir, your much obliged servant,
D. M. WALKER,
Gloucester, March 3. Mayor of Gloucester.
