THE SUN" EXPRESSES.

We are indebted to the spirited proprietor of The Sun
evening newspaper for a considerable portion of our second
edition, which, but for the extraordinary dispatch used on
that journal, could not have reached our readers at so early
an hour. Our publication of the speech of Sir Robert Peel
commenced at twelve o'clock this day (Wednesday).—Essex
Herald.

We have peculiar satisfaction in laying before our readers
this morning an outline of the greater part of the financial
exposition made last night in the House of Commons by Sir
Robert Peel. It was exactly five o'clock when Sir Robert
commenced his address, and our report brings it down to
some minutes past eight. We are greatly indebted to the
ahem' and spirited proprietor of The Sun for the kind and
prompt assistance rendered by him on this occasion. With
his accustomed energy and enterprise he had arranged to
publish a fourth edition of The Sun, containing the whole of
Sir Robert's speech, for the purpose of forwarding it by
special train to the manufacturing districts; and we have no
doubt that hundreds and thousands, throughout the great
northern counties, owing to his exertions, will be in posses-
sion of the whole of the Ministerial plan regarding this most
important national crisis, by seven or eight o'clock this morn-
ing.--Cambridge Advertiser.

NEWSPAPER EXPRESS.—We are deeply indebted to the
exertions made by the proprietors of the Daily News and
The Sun, for being furnished with the Parliamentary pro-
ceedings down to Sir Robert Peel's speech of Tuesday even-
ing. The Daily News arrived here at ten yesterday morn-
ing, and the The Sun shone forth at 8 A.m.—East* n Counties
Herald.

Aware of the intense anxiety felt by the public respecting
the financial and commercial propositions of Sir 'Robert Peel,
last night, in the House of Commons, we have, at a very
considerable expense, by the aid of an extraordinary express
from the The Sun, for which we are considerably indebted to
Air. Wheeler, of Manchester, in conjunction with our own
special messengers, prepared an extraordinary edition of the
Guardian, which contains a verbatim report of the Premier's
comprehensive and momentous announcement. By this
effort, scarcely twelve hours will elapse between the delivery
of this important speech in Lcndon last night, and its perusal
in our own sheet by the public of Preston, the speech of the
Right Hon. Baronet having been twice committed to type
dining that interval.--Preston Guardian.

COURIER OFFICE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, HALF FAST
Fount o'cLocx.—The publication of the Courier is delayed
a little beyond the usual time this morning for the purpose
of awaiting the arrival of the report of Sir Robert Peel's
speech, which was delivered at four o'clock yesterday after-
noon. Our report brings the debate down to half-past eight
last night. For this extraordinary expedition we are in-
debted to the express arranged between Mr. Wheeler, the
enterprising and indefatigable news-agent of this town, and
The Sun newspaper.—lllanelrester Courier.
THE GOVERNMENT MEASURES. —Since the meeting of
Parliament the utmost anxiety has been manifested in this
town to learn the precise nature of the Government inten-
tions. On Friday morning, shortly after nine o'clock, a
Third Edition of Tire Sun brought the Queen's Speech, and
the proceedings in Parliament up till half.-pest eight on the
previous evening. The Sun, as might be expected, was con-
sequently at a great premium. Yesterday, the same paper
brought Sir Robert Peel's railway speech on Monday even-
ing, and the anxiety to see this was equally great, the Cen-
tral Exchange being crowded with visitants, who seemed
quite impatient to learn the Premier's intentions. The
opinion throughout the town, so far as we have had oppor-
tunities of learning it, is that of unqualified satisfaction with
Sir Robert and his proposals.—Tyne Mercury.

THE SUN.—An express edition of The Sun, containing a
report of Sir R. Peel's speech last night, at the length of
nearly eight columns, reached Leeds before six o'clock this
morning. We are indebted to it for much of our report.—
Leeds Mercury.
From the Third Edition of The Sun we have a considerable
part Of the discussion in both Houses on the Address.—Leeds
Intelligencer.

(FROM A C,ORRESPONDEXT.),
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, WEDNESDAY.—An Express Edition
of The Sun, containing the important speech of Sir Robert
Peel, in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, was re-
ceived by Mr. Horn, of this town, about ten o'clock this
morning, by the usual mail train, and was immediately cir-
culated in the News-rooms and principal places of public
resort, where it excited the most extraordinary interest.
About the same time a special engine brought copies of the
Daily News, which had published a special edition, which
was dispatched from London shortly after twelve
o'clock on Tuesday night; but this new competitor
for public favour had been in all its mechanical arrange-
ments anticipated by The Sun, the Daily News, with the ad-
vantage of three full hours in London, bringing no more than
the speech of Sir Robert Peel, which The Sun had accom-
plished apparently without an effort. The proprietors of
one of the local papers, who had been waiting without their
breakfast from eight o'clock in the morning, with a
coach and four, to take on the News to Edinburgh
and Glasgow, had the mortification of witnessing The
Sun dispatched from Newcastle northward nearly
three-quarters of an hour before their extraordinary ( I) ex-
press ! The Sun has thus accomplished one of the most
surprising feats in newspaper history, and thrown completely
into the shade the laborious effort of a morning Contemporary
to outstrip its rivals.

DEVONPORT INDEPENDENT OFFICE, JAN. 28.
We received the copies of The Sun, by mail, at ten o'clock
to-day, and, just as we had sold them, a coach and four
passed our door with an express from the Daily News, with
two persons from the office. They left London by
a special train at one o'clock, and reached here
at half-past ten—about two hundred miles to Exeter
by special train, and forty-five miles from thence to us, with
a coach and four and post-horses—in all nine hours and a
half from London. They presented papers to most of the
leading persons. We could have sold double the number of
The Sun if we had had them. They sent out the Daily News
from the hotel ; twelve were sent to us. I never saw such
anxiety to get paper

FREE TRADE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION.—A public
meeting to take into consideration the principles and ad-
vantages of the society, was held last night at the London
Mechanics' Institution. The lecture-room was crowded by
a most respectable audience; amongst whom were several
ladies. The meeting was addressed by Mr: S. Smith, Mr. G.
Thompson, Col. Thompson, and Mr. Gibbs, on the advantages
pecuniary and political, which would accrue to all, and
especially to the working men who connected themselves
with the Society. Mr. Smith, on stating the system on
which the affairs would be conducted, said that a man
paying in 10s. a month would realise at the end of ten years
not 661. merely, the amount paid in by him, but 1201. That
sum, however, might be given to the shareholder at the
outset, and then, besides 10s., to liquidate the principal he
paid 4s. a month for interest. All seemed interested in the
details, and in the eloquent speech of those gentlemen who
addressed them. At the close several questions were put
from the body of the meeting, which shortly after broke up.
THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND.—The Manchester sub-
scriptions to the quarter of a million League fund, which on
Friday evening last amounted to 80,5361., have since been
augmented by subscriptions amounting to 1.6751. In these
are included 4001. from Messrs. Thomas Harrison and Sons,
of Stalybridge, and six subscriptions of 1001. each; one of
70/., three of 501., and various smaller sums. The total
amount of the Manchester subscription last evening (Tues-
day) wa upwards of 132,2004.4tanchatcr Guardian.
