"THE SUN" EXPRESB.—Our enterprisingeontemporary
The Sun, with whom energetic enterprise is a constitutional
quality, not satisfied with merely expressing Sir Robert
Peel's speech on the development of the Ministerial measure,
at the opening of this important campaign, has been fol-
lowing up the work by sending express editions, contain-
ing the debate as it proceeds each night up to half-past eight
o'clock. The effect of this has been to give some of the most
important speeches to the provinces many hours before
the arrival of the morning papers. Monday night's debate
was especially important, and the express of that evening
proportionally serviceable, because in giving the speeches of
the mover and seconder of the amendment (among others),
we had the whole case of the Opposition, which was just no
case at all, at our breakfast table, in this blessed city of
Exeter, the next morning, and had our digestion improved
by seeing how little the monopolists had to say for their
system. The Sun stands still at the head of the movement
" Go a head" is still its motto.— Western Times.
" Tut SUN" EXPRESSES.—We received from Mr.
Rutherglen, at twelve o'clock last night, an Express Edition
of The Sun newspaper of Monday evening, containing be-
tween seven and eight columns of the great debate on the
repeal of the corn-laws. Our contemporary is well known
over Great Britain for the liberal exertions it ever makes
upon occasions like these; and confers a benefit on the com-
munity by its enterpise, which is very generally recegnist d.
Its report upon this occasion was not only of great length,
but of much accuracy.—Glasgow Argus.
"THE SUN" EVENING NEWSPAPER.—We were in-
dented to Mr. Murdo Young, the proprietor of the above jour-
nal, for a copy of The Sun on Tuesday night, containing a
full report of the speech delivered by Sir Robert Peel, in
which he announced a great reduction in the taxation of the
country, and the prospective abolition of the corn-laws. The
Sun was forwarded the same evening, by special engines, to
all parts of the country, and arrived in Paris some hours be-
fore the morning journals. A special messenger from Bel-
gium was also supplied with proof slips, with which he de-
parted on the instant, and thus was the important Ministerial
statement read in the Netherlands at least a day earlier than
it could be known through any other channel. Such activity
is unexampled in journalism, and we hope the spirited pro-
prietor of The Sun may reap a rich reward for his exertions.

We are glad to learn that Mr. Cobden's health improves,
and that he is now in a fair way of recovery. Should the
heavy debate be protracted till the end of next week, perhaps
he may yet throw some new life into it.

We understand that the mail from India, which arrived
yesterday, has brought no letters or dispatches from the
Governor-General. It is known, however, from the most
unquestionable authority, that the advanced guard of the
British army was attacked, on the evening of the 18th of
December, by the Seikh troops. The enemy was repulsed,
and driven back for upwards of three miles, with the loss of
seventeen pieces of cannon. This affair occurred at Moodkee,
a place about twenty-two miles to the north-east of Feroze-
pore, and having opened a communication with Sir John
Littler, who commanded at that post, and having been
joined by the corps under that officer, attacked the enemy's
intrenched position at four o'clock in the afternoon of the
21st. The first line of intrenchments was carried ; but
the night was so dark that further operations were
suspended. At dayl;ght en the 22d the second line of in-
trenchments was attacked, and all the enemy's defences wore,
in half an hour, taken in reverse, and the guns captured. On
the afternoon of the 22d the enemy advanced with their in.
fantry, and hordes of camels earrying swivels, for the purpose
of retaking the guns they had previously lost. All the at-
tacks, however, which they made were repulsed ; and after a
cannonade, which had no result, they withdrew, and retired to
a place called Sultankhanwalla, about ten miles from Fero-
zepore, where they had still some heavy artillery. The
British army would be joined by two battalions of native in-
fantry, which were not in the previous actions, and the
enemy's position at Sultanhkanwalla was to be attacked on
the 24th. No accounts have been received of the specific
loss on either side, nor is the name of any officer mentioned.
The captured guns amounted to 65 counted, and there were
some more in a village on the British right.

There is still an entire absence of ship or other arrivals with foreign
news of interest, if we except the details received from the Continent
respecting the alarming scarcity of food in some parts, and the riots
resulting therefrom, all indicative of the want of stocks from which
we are at all likely to get largely supplied, and further showing that
the United States and Canada will have to be our chief resource.

The Securities and Deposits, therefore, were again under the influ-
ence of the railway lodgments.
The English Stock market opened flatly again this morning, from
the paucity of business ; but it is impossible, while there is a chance
of renewed purchases by the Chancery broker, that stock should be-
come at al. plentiful. Indeed the amount already absorbed must,
until resold, exercise a most important effect in keeping up prices.
Consols have been 96% to 96% for transfer on Monday, and 97 to
96% for Account. Exchequer-bills have realised 355. to 40s. pre-
mium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99 to
98%, and the Three per Cents. 97% to 97.
The Foreign Investments have been very quiet. Spanish Three
per Cents, are 38%; Chilian Deferred, 52%; Buenos Ayres, 403{,;
Grenada, 24 to 23% ;- 'Peruvian, 39. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents, have been 98%, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
60%.
There has been a fair business done in railway shares, and prices
generally are supported.
