98% %. Bank Stock is steady, at 208%. 'Consols have advanced to
964 IA for transfer next week, IMO to 96% ri for time. The
"glorious" majority of 97 has done it all. Exchequa-bills are quiet,

In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are flat, at 263 for the
Five per Cents.; Three per Cents., however, being relatively firmer.

SUN EXPRESS.

THE DIVISION.

The great division took place last night, or rather this
morning early. The numbers . were announced at a quarter
after three o'clock, and within half an hour of that time the
Morning Edition of The Sun, containing a full report of the
debate and the division, was dispatched by special trains to
all parts of the kingdom. To the North, by a special engine
on the Birmingham line—to the West, by special engine along
the Great Western line—to Norwich and the East by special
engine along the Eastern counties line. The instant the division
was announced, the result was dispatched by horse, express, to
The Sun office—set in type, and the papers containing the
announcement and a full report of the abate, were printed
by steam-machine, dispatched by horse expresses to the
termini of the several railways, and sent on by special engines
within less than half an hour. We had made preparations
for the last fortnight to express the division to all parts of the
kingdom within half an hour of the time of its announcement,
and we are happy to say that all our arrangements suc-
ceeded and that on every line our expresses were dispatched so
as to save the special engine (for after a quarter before four
o'clock in the morning the railway companies will not permit
special engines to run) which we believe is more than any
of our contemporaries have been able to accomplish. Some
of them may have saved one particular line, but none of
them have saved all.

We have just received accounts from Bristol, stating that
our Express, per Great Western, reached that city at a
quarter before seven o'clock this morning, and that our
messenger immediately proceeded, per special train, to Exeter.
