THE PREMIER'S SPEECH.

SUNDERLAND.—The anxiety manifested by all classes, on
Wednesday morning, to obtain the earliest information re-
specting ths grand plan of the Premier exceeded anything
we ever witnessed in the borough. It being known that
The Sun would publish an extraordinary edition, which was
expected to arrive early on Wednesday, numbers assembled
about the shop of Mr. Williams, news-agent, who had
arranged to have a parcel. At ten o'clock in the morning
the eagerly expected dispatch arrived, aid to the astonish-
ment of all contained a verbatim report of Sir R. Peel's
speech, and a complete summary of it, extremely useful for
those who had not time to follow the Piglet Hon. Baronet
through his four hours' oration. Copies were Immediately
forwarded to the newspaper offices, and the remainder were
instantly disposed of. A short time afterwards some copies
of the Daily News arrived, which had been forwarded by
spacial engine from York, by Mr. Hudson, to the Mayor and
the newspaper offices. At first this seemed to be a still
more wonderful feat than that of The Sun, but on further
consideration, finding that it contained no more than The
Sun, though it left London, it is understood, nearly three
hours later, and had been forwarded at a very rapid rate, by
special favour, it was acknowledged that for rapidity of re-
porting and " getting up " The Sun had decidedly outdone
its able and spirited contemporary.
In the evening the excitement was heightened to an ex-
traordinary degree, a liberal supply of the morning papers
being expected by Mr. Williams. When they did arrive,
there was a fierce contention to obtain copies, and the con-
tents of a large parcel were quickly dispersed.
NEWSPAPER ExrnEssEs.—On Wednesday- morning we had
the pleasure, at ten o'clock, of receiving a considerable num-
ber of Express Editions of the previous night's Sun, which
were anxiously looked for, and very soon circulated. The
Sou contained the whole of Sir R. Peel's financial scheme.--
Demport Independent.
NEWSPAPER EXPRESSING.—We have much pleasure in
acknowledging the receipt, on Thursday morning, of a copy
of The Sun of Tuesday evening, containing a report of Sir
Robert Peel's speech in the li.otre of Commons, which was
concluded at half-past eight on Tuesday evening.—Glasgow
Courier.

We have repeatedly had to express our deep obligation to
the spirited proprietor of The Sun for services rendered to
us through Express Editions; but the services done us, and
the efforts achieved in the way of early information, on
the present occasion, transcend all flint have gone before.
Through the kind attention of Mr. Eutherglen, newspaper
agent, Glasgow,
day a copy of the Express Edition of The Sun of Tuesday,
we received by the forenoon mail of ester-
containing a full report of Sir B. Peel's financial statement,
from which we have copied the above.--Stirling Journal.
By the kindness of Mr. Rutherglen, news-agent, Glasgow,
who favoured us with an express copy of the Third Edition
of the London Sun, we are enabled to lay befora our readers
an abstract of the Premier's financial propositions, as de-
livered by him on Tuesday evening. The late hour at
which we received it, however, precludes the possibility of
our offering any
remarks upon the nature and bearing of' its
various poposals.—Elintantock Journal.

p
The proprietor of The Sll7l deserves special notice for
the dispatch he has on this and many former occasions dis-
played to put the üblic
in early possession of important
intelligence. 2'he Sun's report of the speech extended to
columns. We were indebted for one copy sent to us
direct from The Sun office.—Glasqow Constitutional.
