O OUR SUBSCRIBERS, TO ADVER-
TISERS, AND TO THE PUBLIC.

ME Union of the True Sun with The Sun, and
other circumstances, have now given us a posi-
tion which no other Evening Journal possesses.
It appears from the Parliamentary returns, that
this Union has placed us at the head, and con-
siderably at the head, of all cur Contemporaries.
The- attainment of this position has not been effected
without very great sacrifices, and still greater
exertions--exertions which the whole of the Pro-
vincial Press has declared to be unparalleled.
We shall not, however, pause here. There are
ether things of importance which have never
been attempted by any Newspaper, but which we
propose to effect.
The private business of Parliament involves property,
and affects interests to a much larger extent than
any of the Courts of Law ; yet there have been
no systematic or periodical Reports of those pro-
ceedings. We intend to supply the desideratum, by
furnishing accurate and daily reports of the proceed-
ings of every Private Committee; so that smuggling
of Bills through the Legislature, often of the most
important character, can no longer take place-
Every individual who chooses may become ac-
quainted with any matter affectino, himself or his
property that comes before Parliament. To Law-
yers--to Members of Corporations--to Joint-
stock Companies—this information must be ♦ery
desirable.

Our agricultural friends will not be forgotten. At
present they are dependent for prices either
upon local Newspapers, which are generally
published on the morning of each market-
day, and consequently only contain the
prices of the preceding week ; or upon Lon-
don Journals published only once a week. We
propose to remedy this defect by giving daily
reports of every Corn-market of importance
in the kingdom immediately after it takes place;
so that before any farmer goes to market, he
may know the prices that have been obtained,
in the shortest possible time, in his neigh-
bourhood.
Besides the above, we propose many other im-
provements which must contribute greatly to the
advantage of our readers ; but we have not time
to advert to them. Let us be judged by our
merits.

LONDON :

TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1138.
As Sir JAMES GRAHAM has led the van, we take
for granted we shall have many more Tories exhibiting
themselves at public dinners, with a view to get up the
steam, previous to the re-assembling of Parliament-
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, we see, is already advertised
to appear at an entertainment of this sort at Chester ;
and what should prevent Sir R. PEEL or Lord STAN-
LEY from making a similar display? There is a fine open-
ing for them just now. They cannot possibly have abet-
ter theme for venting their spleen on, than the Canada
question. Think how many fine things, how many
vague, but eloquent, generalities, may be said on this
subject ! Ministerial incapacity—Constitution set at
defiance—British Colonists in a state of armed insur-
rection---dignity of the mother country atrociously in-
sulted--Radicals at the bottom of it all—Whigs in
connection with Radicals—O'CoNNELL, the leader
of both factions, and PAPINEAU taking his cue from
O'CONNELL ;—here are themes for declamation, which
in the hands of such expert Tories, as PEEL or
STANLEY, might be the means of putting the minds
of all the ignorant, and prejudiced, and discontented,
into a state of perfect combustion ! Let the Tories then,
we say, take heed to this hint. If, in consequence of
th.!ir long exclusion from Downing-street, and conse-
quent inability to help themselves to the Treasury
lcAves and fishes, they cannot raise the wind, they
can, at any rate, raise the hurricane—and such an op-
portunity for getting up a very pretty storm in Eng-
land should not be neglected by them ; for it may not
occur soon again. Besides, in raving on the Canadian
question, the Tories need not stick to facts, or fear
being refuted ; for little or nothing is yet known
of the real merits of the dispute ; so these
factious sophists, for some days to come, will have the
fruitful field of declamation all to themselves. Lord
STANLEY IS just the sort of man to make a prodi-
gious hit at a public dinner on the subject of the re-
volted colonies. Such a topic would exactly suit his
loose, desultory style of reasoning.; and set off by his
flashing eyes, his impetuous manner, and the semi-
circular sweep of his left arm, would no doubt shake
the Melbourne Cabinet to its foundation.

The Dissenters of Scotland have taken alarm at the
report, so confidently circulated by the Tories in that
part of the kingdom, that Ministers have deter-
mined to propose to l'arliament a grant of the pub-
lic money, for,' the purpose of endowing additional
Churches, to supply the alleged deficiency of spiritual
instruction on the other side of the Tweed. In order
do!Teat this insane project—should any idea of car-
rying it into execution be seriously entertained—the
Soteh Dies Niters have taken the field, commencing their
isperations with a vigour and determination worthy of
to descendants of those who periled everything in the
Hausa of conscience, and who at last succeeded, by
exertions and through sufferings without example, in
rendering that cause triumphant.
We learn from the Scottish Pilot, that various im-
portant meetings of Dissenting Bodies were held in
Edinburgh last week, and that Resolutions pro-
testing against the proposed grant, in the
strongest terms which the language can supply,
were unanimously passed. In these proceedings the
Synod of the United Secession Church took the lead,
a body, be it observed, that never before—during the
hundred years of its existence as a Chure..Court—
met for the purpose of taking into consideration any
measure either under discussion or likely to be pro-
posed to the Legislature. This departure from long-
established precedent proves how deeply the Secession
Church feel the importance, to the interests of religion,
