TkIE SUN NEWSPAPER.—Our readers are pro-
bably aware that Mr. Young, the enterprising [roprietor of
that well-known paper " The Sun," has purchased the
True Sun," adding to the former not only the readers but
the talent of the latter paper. Our readers have been many
times indebted to the enterprize of " The Sun" for early
intelligence, and its truly independent principles claim for
it the support of the Reformers throughout the United
Kingdom. We make known this fact, that persons
Nii*lling to take a daily evening paper, may not hesitate which
to choose. In every particular'' The Sun" stands Far ahead
of the evening press, and its admirable markets, i:s ample re-
ports, the abundance of its news, peculiarly fit it fur country
circulation. In justice to an able, consistent, and a most en-
terprising contemporary, we could not omit our congratula-
tions on the high position it has lately taken.—Sonierset
County Gazette. [We are much obliged to our Liberal con-
temporary for his good opinion. We hope our Tory—we
beg pardon—our Conservative contemporaries gill follow
so good an example, and recommend " The Sun" as the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir, --In your Papers of Thursday and Saturday evening Ist
I am charged by two anonymous correspondents with being
Inconsistent in my public conduct. The one reft,rs as a
proof to my speeches on Covent-garden hustings ; the other
states that I was formerly a Tory. To the first I reply that I
never attempted to speak at Covent-garden in my life. 'ro
the other, that I always, since I possessed the franchise (about
twenty yeaes), acted and voted against the Tories. I should
tint have noticed the harmless -slanderers, but the prominent
manntr letters wore placed in your paper, seemed t? bur
teatimony to the fact, I rely upon your sense of ecittit,37

that they arc rtspectable gentlemen.—Eu, Sun.]

and the Ladies and Gentlemen attached to the Royal suite.
'The Rev. Mr. Mu grave, Canon in residence, officiated.
The service was Kirig's in F, anthem, " Comfort ye my
people," Handel.
After th Queen's return from St. George's Chapel, her
Majesty did oot again leave the Castle.
Owing to the dense and humid fog that prevailed during the
whole of yesterday, her Majesty did not go out.
In the forenoon of yesterday, the Queen gave a sitting to
John Steed, Esq., who is engaged to take a profile of her
Majesty, for a colossal statue at Edinburgh, to be erected by
that loyal city, in honour of our gracious Sovereign.
The 15th was the day first axed upon for the departure of
the Court from Windsor for London, but it is now supposed
her Majesty will remain at the Castle till the let of February.
It is said orders have been given for some alterations to be
made in the private apartments at Buckingham Palace, and if
these should not be completed by the Ist, the Queen will con-
tinue to reside at the Castle, with occasional visits to town.

THE AMERICAN IN LONDON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—Here am I, a Yankee man, in the laud of my fathers,
a stranger, and not a stranger; at home, and vet abroad; sur-
rounded by uaknonn faces, yet welcomed kith a well-knoun
tongue. Verily your London is a surprising place ; thou:,-11 I
had formed a high opinion of its supremacy, l am not the
least disappointed, as I have been in visiting other lions of
earth.

And is this the capital that can exist in such splendour,
under an unheard-of debt and unexampled taxation ? There
really must be a stern elasti,ity somewhere—J,hn Bull must
pons, 84 an herculean spine. I see no poor is your streets
(though, perhal-1, tily arc provided for)—no ollects of di'seace
and suffusing betray themselves at every turn. Verily our
common fathers, Sir, were men of nictal, and 1113 son is nut
unworthy of the sire,

lam naturally attached to the extension of commerce. It
was, therefore, with no little feeling I gazed on the forest of
shipping, which recalled my backwoods recollections. And in
your strews no man seats to pause ; all pr. ss forward to en-
terprise, as if actuated by the same impulse which urged Co-
lumbus to the west. Sorely man musf be seen here in his
proudest hearing; time seems nt a high pren.ium, activity
above par, and perpetual motion in coast grit play. What a
sublime sight is real business ! There is nothitig:like it. While
the tenants of Continental towns seem fog the most part to
sleep in their locomotion, man here seems the very symbol of
!ire and ala city. I have reason to be proud of my country-
men, who r:ckou at lest one good quality which Alrs. Trol-
lope does not deny them; they are no t ,rto:sts in the race.
By-the-live, do not iina.ziae that the rational part cf American
society take offence at the strictures, severe though they be of
our lady censor ; such are our best ft ionds, and " hold up the
mirror to nature," &c. Though tendered in spite, and pro-
duced in petulance, there are many tic% 15;:wit hags in her
satire, and we shall not be worse for the application. " Fos
est ab hoste doeeri," is a maxim made, Sir, for my country-
men ; they will never shut their eyes to hon st tutoring, and
by this moans they may bCcome such as their cremies cannot
even carp at. Good night, HENRY CHESTER.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET—Jan.S

The fresh supply of Wheat for this day's Market is again large ; in
consequence of the damp state of the weather, New comes to hand its
bad condition, and for such the trade was heavy though last week's
prices were obtained ; there was a fair inquiry for Old, and in some in.
stances an improvement of Is. per quarter was realized. Barley met a
steady sale at the rates of this day se'nnight. In Oats and Shelling no.

CHURCH REFORM.

The Rev. Mr. Elliss, Evening Lecturer to the parish of
St. Mary-le-Strand, has been for some time desirous of re-
signing his situation, and the Rev. Mr. Shute, one of the
Canons of St. Pauls, has been officiating in his stead. Mr.
Elliss having resigned, and the place declared vacant, several
gentlemen have become candidates for the appointment which
is in the parishioners.
Last week a vestry was held for the purpose of receiving
the names and testimonials of candidates, when a letter was
read to the meeting addressed to the Rev. J. F. Denham, by
the Right Rev. Bishop of London, forbidding him to grant
the use of the pulpit to preach the usual probationary sermons
by the candidates. The advantage thus given by the Bishop
of London in favour of Mr. Shute, places themher'gentlemen
in a situation of difficulty, no opportunity being afforded then
of exibiting their talents, and the parishioners almost deprived
of any choice in a matter which so intimately conceras their
present and future welfare. The Right Rev. Prelate's con,
duct was not, however, permitted to pass unnotices even kr
this small but ultra-Tory parish. After the letter was read a
spirited inhabitant moved the following resolution, which was
carried unanimously :—" That the interference of the Bishop
of London, in directing the Curate not to allow any Clergy-
man to preach a probationary sermon (as it is called) in the
pulpit of the Church, is unjust and uncalled for, and tending
to stifle that necessary and fair inquiry after truth and know-
ledge on the part of the rate-payers, so desirable for tbeir
present good and future. welfare." Can it be matter of su,r,
prise after this specimen of the Bishop's intolerance that. the
Dissenters are increasing ?

MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The past weeks' arrival of both Grain and Flour, were middling, and
the trade remained without change, as business was transacted only to a
moderate extent. This morning the fresh supplies at market, are rather
less than the previous Monday. The millers being much in want of
fine dry Wheat, purchased the few samples that appeared, at full is. per
quarter advance, on last week's terms; and all other qualities have
maintained previous prices, with a slow sale, as the condition is so ten-
der. Barley continues to make a slow sale at former prices. Beans, if
dry, obtain rather more money. Pease of both kinds remain dull at
previous quotations. The Oat-trade is firm at the terms of this day
se'nnight. The millers showed some disposition to advance the top
price of flour to-day, but it was ultimately settled at the former prices.

YOUGHAL.

The next vote objected to was that of James Prendergast, on the
ground of removal. It appeared that the voter carried on the curious
combination of trades—publican, tobacconist, and pawnbroker, in this
same shop. Witness for the petitioner stated that be failed in business,
and another person named Flanagan took his house and trade. One
witness, named Thomas, in cross_examination, was asked by Mr. Close,
had he not advised a person named Parker, that it was not necessary to
tell the ehole truth ? The question having been put repeatedly without
elici.ing a direct answer, the witness at last sail, " I said nothing about
the truth—truth was out of the question."—(Great laughter.)
Mr. Dominick Ronayne was called. to prove that the pawnbroking
busine s was carried on by Prendergast, in the premises for which he
was registered, up to the time of the election. Witness interposed to
reconcile Prendergast and a woman named Reed. Witness went to
take a pillion out of the office.—(A laugh.)
Mr. HARRISON—You went to take an opinion of Counsel.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Ronayne—A Counsel's opinion? No—it was the woman's
pill:on I went to take out.—(Renewed laughter.)
' The vote was ultimately struck off, whereby the petitioner was placed
in a majority.pf one.
Mr. ANDREWS, for the sitting member, objected to the vote of Thomas
Lewis John, a freeman, on the ground of non-residence.
The discussion was postponed, and the Committee adjourned.

STATE OF TRADE

(From the Liverpool Chronicle.)
THE COTTON TRADE, MANCHESTER.—WO have had a great
influx of buyers of manufactured goods since our last report.
The demand has been extensive in consequence, no doubt, of
the usual modes of conveyance being again open.. It is with
great satisfaction we have to state, that some kinds of hand-
loom cloth are not sufficient in the market to meet the demand,
and that wages in consequence have been advanced a little by
some manufacturers, and that this advance is likely to become
general ere the close of the week.
THE WOOLLEN TRADE, LEEDS.—There was not by any
means so much done to-day in either of our Halls as for the
last few weeks, and there was not any alteration in the value
of any description of goods. Very few buyers on a large scale
appeared.
HUDDERSFIELD, TLESDAY.—There was a considerable bu-
siness done to-day in fancy goods, but as this is generally the
case in the spring of the year, and especially at the com-
mencement of it, little importance is attached to the circum-
stance. In the plain goods market the substantial part of the
trade, very limited inquiries indeed were made, but we do not
alter the value of any article:.

HALIFAX, SATURDAT.-We had but a ♦ery limited inquiry
for goods to-day, but the state of the weather may account, in
a great measure, for it. Prices, however, remain unaltered,
and may be said to be firm, at the currency of the last five or
six weeks. The transactions in wool are on a very limited
scale, and though the staplers attempted to get it up a little,
they did not, we think, in any instance succeed.
BRADFORD, Titortsaay..—The general opinion appears to
be, that about the same amount of business has been done
to-day as on this day week, but that there exists a stronger
inclination to purchase, provided that pieces could be made
to meet their views, and as lower rates are entirely out of
the question, it is only a still further increased demand that
can establish satisfactory rates between bu3er and seller.
In Yarns there is nothing different to report from the
opinions expressed last week, except, perhaps, that the ma-
nufacturers are rather more rhy in their purchases, evi-
dently waiting to see the effect to be produced by a complete
opening of the canal. In any kind of Wools there was little
doing, the high prices no doubt tending to curtail operations
to a great extent.
ROCIADALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAT.-There was rather
an extraordinary feature in the market to-day, for which it is
impossible to account, viz., that with a much better demand,

especially for the coarser description of goods, the prices could
not be maintained which were last week freely paid. There
is as little doing in wool as can possibly be, so as to keep the
manufacturers going, as the present low prices do not justify
purchasers in taking more than for instant consumption ; prices
steady.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.

A short supply, but the demand considerable. The consequence was,
an advance of full 2d. per stone on Beef and Mutton. The quality of
the stock today generally good. There is no great quantity of Meat
now amongst the butchers, and if supplies be not larger, pi ices will
be higher. Veal and Pork wore not higher, but quite as dear as on
last day.

COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET.

With the exception of business for export, trade is flat just now, and
the Market must be regarded as dull. There are no publie sales to-day
of produce, and for the week there is not much advertised at prtsent.
The chief sales are those of Mauritius, Siam, and Bengal Sugar, St. Do
mingo and East India Coffee, and East India Rice. These are large
sales. That of Mauritius Sugar and St. Domingo comes on to.mor-
row. The cause of the Markets being dull for consumption is the great
arrival of goods at the Customs after the breaking up of the frost. The
imports now are slender

Our market yesterday was well attended, and we had a good chew of
samples of all sort of Grain. Oats rather scarce. Fine Wheat and
Barley fully supported last week's prices. Fine Wheat 575, to 60s. :
Barley 31s. to 345. ; Grinding ditto 265. to 28s. ; Oats 20s. to 265. ; Old

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MARca 3.

The Canals not being yet thoroughly open and the wind having con_
tinned easterly, our supplies this week are small. Stocks, however,
being now much reduced, we have had a moderate enquiry for all
articles at al pt the rates of last week. At Liverpool and Wakefield
yesterday no material alteration in prices, with a limited demand. At
our Exchange to-day buyers seemed inclined to wait an increase of
supply, and tales of all articles were confined to retail parcels at the
prices of this day week.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, Minos 17.

We had a moderate supply of Wheat at our Market to.day from
the growers, but good coasting arrivals, and the whole was in fair re.
quest at the rates of this day se'nnight. The arrivals of Barley from
Norfolk and Suffolk exceed the demand, and prices must be noted
full Is. per quarter lower ; indeed inferior samples are quite neglected,
though offered even at a further decline. Oats were in moderate sup.
ply, and good samples being wanted for seed obtained Is. per quarter
snore money. Malt continues to meet a very slow sale at late prices.
In Rye, Beans, or Peas, we can note no material change. The arrivals
of Flour are large, and our quotations can with difficulty be realised.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

(Concluded from our First Edition of Saturday.)
LONDON ELECTION COMMITTEE.
The Committee were occupied the whole afternoon in hearing evi-
dence from printers, which was of the same nature as the former .
Mr. Balne, in his evidence, said the bills he printed were not deli.
livered until the 27th July, which was after the election.
Mr. AUSTIN then suggested that it ought to be struck out.
The Room was cleared, and when Counsel and agents were again
called in--
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had decided that Mr. Balne's evi.
dence should stand on the notes, as it was evident that he had made a
mistake as to the date. He was also instructed by the Committee to re-
port another resolution, which had been agreed to unanimously, viz.:—
" The Committee further direct me to report, that Counsel for the pe-
titioner shall be prepared with evidence tending more directly to impli-
cate the sitting Members."—Adjourned.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

nal(Woon v. num, &c.
Mr. JACOB applied to the Court ex parte on behalf of the plaintiff, Mrs.
Haywood, for a special injunction to restrain the defendants from ra»
moving or selling certain ores got from mines in Cornwall without her
permission. From the statements of the Learned Counsel, it appeared
that the plaintiff was entitled to one-fourth o; a farm in Corn-
wall, under which the mines in question were. A per son of
the name of Jones, who was entitled to one-fourth of the property, had
devised his moiety to persons who constituted a Mining Company ilk
Cornwall, who were now working the mines under the estP.te ; and the
object of the present application was to restrain the disposing of the ore
they obtained.
His HONOUR granted the injunction.

BOW-STREET.(THIS DAY.)
A young man named George Winter was charged by Mary Pitzgerald,
servant to Mrs. Burgess, 11, Southampton.buildings, with being found
in her mistress's house for an unlawful purpose.
It appeared from the evidence, that at twelve o'clock last night a
violent knocking was heard at the hall door while the family was in the*
kitchen, and on. opening the door, no person appeared outside. After•
the witness had returned to the kitchen a noise was heard in the coaL
cellar, but no notice was taken of it—it was supposed the cat was there. Witness went up to the parlour window, to satisfy herself no person had
entered the house, and the prisoner was seen going ilea the coal cellar-
frcrn the area, having jumped down from the railing, a distance of eight.
feet, a constable was instantly called in, and when the prisoner was taken
into custody he pretended to be drunk.
The complainant informed the Magistrate, that on the night previous,,,
No. 7, in the same building had been robbed of some provisions from tlve
pantry. The prisoner pleaded drunkenness, and was sent to hard labour
for six weeks,
