~ THE SUN" EXPRESSES.

" TIIE SUN" NEWSPAPER.—Through Mr. Gerrish, News
Agent here (Devizes), we received copies of the Morning Sun
before eight o'clock, within five hours of the termination of
the debate, a triumph of speed which a few years ago would
have baen deemed impossible. For this act of kindness we
are doubly obliged to the spirited proprietor, as it enabled us
to give the Mechanics' Institution the benefit of early infor-
mation by placing a copy on the table of their reading-loom.
Wiltshire Independent.
EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—The great debate on Friday
night, preceding the division which took place at a quarter-
past three on the following morning, was fully reported in
The Sun of Saturday last, accompanied by a clearly written
summary, and, by the enterprise of Mr. Murdo Young—one
of the great pillars of the B itish press—arrived, by special
engine, in Sheffield, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the
same day. This is a fact in the modern wonders of convey-
ing intelligence by newspaper which ought not to be for-
gotten.—Siieffed Iris.
" THE SUN" EXPRESS.—The intelligence of the Ministerial
majority o❑ the Corn Importation Bill, reached our office at
half-past nine on Saturday morning. exactly six hours after
the division took place. We were indebted to The Sun
newspaper for this express; none of the morning journals
arrived until the usual hour.— Nottingham Review.
NEWSPAPER ENTERPRIZE.—The quickest transmission of
intelligence which we have ever had to Cambridge was
effected by The Sun newspaper last Saturday morning. The
division on the corn-laws took place a few minutes after
three, and at a quarter before six, that is in considerably less
than three limas after the division, we had a full report and
analysis of the debate, with the division, down in Cambridge.
The papers were of course sent by special engine on the rail.
—Cambridge Chronicle. _ _

Tus Dthsiox—The result of the division on the corn.law
debate, which took place at three o'clock on Saturday, was
received here by the train at three in the afternoon—at which
hour we were furnished with the whole debate by Mrs. Noble,
news-agent, of the Market-place. The Hamburg!' steamer
being about to sail for Haniburgh that afternoon, copies of
The Sun and Times were sent out by her, and would probably
carry the first intelligence to Germany.—Hull Advertiser.
" TIIE SUN" EXPRESSILS.—On Saturday morning, shortly
after eight o'clock, a copy of that morning's Sun, fmwarded
by Murdo Young, Esq., the proprietor, was !eft at our office.
containing the close of the great debate in the Howe of
Commons, and the division, which took pla:e at half pa-t
two o'clock—the house not adjourning till a quarter-past
three. The other morning papers also sent expresses, but
The Sun was the first delivered, and the first to spread the
news along the road. We are greatly indented to Mr.
,Young for his liberal and polite attention, which enabled us,
Id so early an hour, to put our readers in possession of such
important intelligence.—Norfrlk aironiee.
THE DIVISION. ON Tnx CORN-LAW DEBATE.—SPECIAL
Exrnesexs ov THE DAILY PAPERS.—In the third edition of
our last week's paper we acknowledged the early receipt of
The Sun newspaper and of the Daily News, containing the
closing speeches of the debate and the division. Both the
papers reached Leeds about one o'clock by special engines, and
within a few minutes of each other; and we attributed the
successful arrangements to air. W. H. Smith, news-agent, of
192, Strand, London. This we learn was an error, the ex-
presses, in these cases, having been under the sole direction of
the newspaper offices. It may, however, be mentioned as
an evidence of the vigilance and spirit of Mr. Smith, that the
cost of the special engine expresses, furnished by him on other
occasions during the debate. alone has amounted to nearly
1,0001. We believe too that the acceleration of trains be-
tween London and the North, referred to in a paragraph in
our SuNdement, is chiefly owing to the representations made
by Mr. Smith to Mr. Hudson, M.P. Leeds is among the
towns which experience the advantage of this acceleration,
the Morning papers of each day arriving now at a quarter to
three, instead of a quarter to four P.n. Wonderful as the
circumstance of the London Lees being in Leeds so early
after its publication in the metropolis would have been
thought a few years since, it is thought that arrangements
might be made which would bring it still earlier than the
present to all parts of the north. Should a plan to effect
that object be suggested to the railway autleerities, we hope
it will meet with their favourable consideration.—Leeds
Mercury. •
We have to acknowledge our obligations to Murdo Young,
Esq., the spirited proprietor of The Sun, by whose exertions
we received, on Saturday evening last, intelligence by express
of the division in the House of Commons on Sir Robert Peel's
measure. The arrive! of The Seri anticipated the mail by 14
hours.—Worth Devon Journal.

THE LATE ASSAULT UPON A POOR WOMAN BY ONE
or PRINCE ALBERT'S GAMEICEEPERS.—It will be recollected that in
September last a gamekeeper named Thomas Topp, in the service of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, was convicted in the penalty of
21. and costs, before the Maidenhead bench of magistrates, of having
set a ferocious dog (stated to be a bloodhound) upon a poor woman
named Wells, whom the keeper discovered In the royal preserves,
near Windsor, in the act of gathering dead wood for firing. The
woman stated, in her evidence before the magistrates, that she was
very far advanced in pregnancy. It was attempted to be shown by a
medical witness, who had been summoned to attend the inquiry by
the heed gamekeeper, that the woman's tale of her being in the
family-way was entirely without fouttlation. The poor woman,
however, after enduring great suffering for upwards of five months
(haying been coufined to her room for the last six weeks of that
period), was delivered of a male child on Tuesday last, by Mr.
Waste'', surgeoe, of Maidenheed. Mrs. Wells is the wife of a labour-
ing man, and is not only in great distrsss, but In a very precarious
state. Tapp was discharged from the service of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert shortly after he was convicted of the assault. It is
stated that, soon afterwards, hi. obtained a situation in the Excise.
THE MIDDLESEX NEW PRISON.—The first stole of
the new building, to be called "The Middlesex House of Detention,"
will be laid during the course of the ensuing =Mb. The prison in-
spectors have furnished the designs. A correspondent informs us
that Mr. Grimsdell, of Sun-street, 13Ishopsgate, is the builder, and
that his contract amounts to 30,0061., indepeedent of the old building
materials, n Welt are calculated to be of the value of from 10,0001. to
12,0001. The builder is under terms to complete the yrison in
eighteen months from the present time. 'the old ,prison, which has
been demolished, was erected in the reign of James
ROBBERY AT THE APARTMENTS CF LORD BUTIGULEY,.
Sr. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.--Yesterday information was for-
warded to the Metropolitan and City Pollee stations, that a number
of valuable articles of jewellery had been stolen from the rooms oc-
cupied by Lord Burghley, tet. John's College, Cambridge. The
stolen property consisted chiefly of six sets of gold studs, and a
number of diamond and other pins. Suspicion is not at present at-
tached to.any particular individual.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 6.--The supplies
of all grain are limited, with the exception of Barley, of which the arri-
val is larger. The market to-day is very bare of fine fresh samples of
Wheat, and such are tolerably easy sales at former rates; other
sorts without isteniry. Tine Barley scarce, and the turn dearer ;in
other qualities no alteration. Beaus rather lower. Oats and Shell-
ing each maintain the prices of Friday last. Malt as before.
SALISBURY.—Lord Ashley is spoken of us likely to
be a candidate fur the representation of this city, wbeneyer a TitCAnuY
OttUre.
