THE SUN" EXPRESSES.

" Ttis 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 been 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-room.
litiltshire 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.—Shcilied Iris.
" THE SUN" Expititss.—The intelligence of the Ministerial
majority on 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 EsrrEarmzE.—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 hours 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.
THE DIVISION.—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 Hamburgh steamer
being about to sail for Hamburgh that afternoon, copies of
The Sun and Times were sent out by her,.and would probably
carry the first intelligence to Germany.—Hell Advertiser.
" THE SUN" EIPEESSES.—On Saturday morning, shortly
after eight o'clock, a copy of that morning's Sun, forwarded
by Murdo Young, Esq., the proprietor, was left at our office.
containing the close of the great debate in the House of
Commons, and the division, which took place at half past
two o'clock—thei 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 indebted to Mr.
Young for his liberal and polite attention, which enabled us,
at so early an hour, to put our readers itt possession of such
important intelligence.—Norjblk Chronicle.
TILE DIVISION ON THE k,ORN-LAW DEBATE.—SrEciAL
EXPRESSES OF 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- th. dchatc and the division. Both the
papers reached Leeds abnut one o'clock by special engines, and
within a few minutes of each other; -”-o attributed the
successful arrangements to 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 .tpecial 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 Supplement, 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.m. Wonderful as the
circumstance of the London news 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 authorities, we hope
it will meet with their favourable consideration.—Leeds
Mercury.
We have to acknowledge our obligations to Aiurdo 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 arrivLl of The Sun anticipated the mail by 14
hours.—North Devon Journal.

LATE ASSAULT UPON A POOR WOMAN BY ONE
Ols PRINCE ALBERT'S GAMEICEEPERS.—It will be recollected that in
Reptettlbef leg it gamekeeper named Thomas Tipp, in the service of
Ittlytt: Ftiglliiees Ptinee Albert, was convicted in the penalty of
21. and costs, before the Maidenhead bench of magistrates, of having
set a ferocious dog (stated to ba a bloodhound) upon a poor woman
named Wells, whom the keeper discovered iii the royal preserves,
near Windsor, in the act of gathering dead wood foe firing. The
WoiPiati Mated, in her evidence before the magistrates, that she was
very far advanced in Pteglitstiey. It was attempted to be shown by a
medical witness, who had been fititiltitoned to attend the inquiry by
the head gamekeeper, that the woman's tale of her being in the
fathily.way was entirely without foundation. The poor woman,
heft-Vet Eiffel' enduring great suffering for upwards of five months
(having been Centilied lb her room for the last six weeks of that
period), was delivered Of a thale child on Tuesday last, by Mr.
Wasted, surgeon, of Maidenhead. Mrs. Wells is the wife of a labour-
ing man, and is not only in great distress, but in a very precarious
state. Topp 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, he obtained a situation in the Excise.
Tan MIDDLESEX NEW PRISON.—The firat stone o 1
the new building, to be Called "The Middlesex House of Detention,"
will be laid during the course of the ensuing month. The prison in-
spectors have furnished the designs. A. Correspondent informs us
that Mr. Grimsdell, of Sun-street, Bishopsgattl, is the builder, and
that his contract amounts to 30,0001., independent of the old building
materials, which are calculated to be of the value or from 10,0001. to
12,0001. The builder is under terms to complete the prison in
eighteen months from the present time. The old prison, w,!:ich has
been demolished, was erected in the reign of James ll.—Bui/der.

ROBBERY AT THE APARTMENTS OF LORD BURGHLEY,
ST. JOHN'S COLLEGB, CAMBRlDGE..—Yesterday information WAS for-
warded to the Metropolitan and City Police stations, that a number
of valuable articles of jewellery had been stolen from the rooms oc-
cupied by Lord Burghley, St. 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 line fresh samples of
Wheat, and such are tolerably easy sales at former rates; other
sorts without inquiry. Fine Barley scarce, and the turn dearer ;in
other qualities no alteration. Beans rather lower. Oats and Shell-
ing each maintain the prices of Friday last. Malt as before.
SALISBURY.—Lord Ashley is spoken of as likely to
be a candidate for the representation of tide city, whenever a vacancy

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.
The following proclamation and decree of'the Provisional
Government at Cracow, occupied by the insurgents, was re-
ceived at Paris at a late hour on Thursday night, and pub-
lished in some of the journals. These documents are copied
from the Herald.

" MANIFESTO OF THE POLISH GOVERNMENT OF
THE GENERAL POLISH CAUSE.

" POLE 3!

" The hour of insurrection has sounded. All dismembered
Poland rises and greatens. Already our brothers of the
Grand Duchy of Posen, of Russian Poland, and of Lithuania,
have risen, and in Russia combat against the enemy : they
combat for their most sacred right, taken from them by force
and fraud. You know well what has passed and is passing.
The flower of our youth languishes in dungeons. Our fathers,
whose councils sustained us, are subjected to contempt. Our
clergy is reviled. Whoever desires ,to live or die for Poland
is destroyed, or pines in a dungeon, or is liable every moment
to be thrown into one. The groans of millions of our
brethren, who perish under the knout in subterranean dun-•
geons, and are sent away to the remotest ends of the coun-
tries of our oppressors, submitting to all the sufferings of
which humanity is capable of enduring, have deeply struck
and moved our hearts. They have taken away our glory,
prohibited our language ; interdicted the profession of
the faith of our fathers. They oppose insurmountable
barriers to the amelioration of our social state, arm
brother against brother, and calumniate the most
honoured children of our country. Brothers, one step
more, and Poland exists no longer. Our grand-
children will curse our memory for having left them nothing,
in one of the finest countries of the world, but deserts and
ruins ; for having left our warlike people in irons ; for
having forced them to profess a foreign faith, to speak a
strange language, and for having reduced them to be slaves
of ou:c oppressors. The dust of our fathers, martyrs of the
righ! s of the nation, cries from the tomb to avenge them.
Children at the breast implore us to preserve for them the
country that God has confided to us. The free nations of
the world invite us not to allow our nationality to be de-
stroyed. God himself invites us, he who will one day
demand an account of our stewardship. We are twenty
millions! let us rise as one man, and no force on earth can
crush our power.
" We shall have such liberty as never was enjoyed on this
earth. Let us endeavour to conquer a focus of liberty of a
community, where each shall enjoy the goods of the earth
according to his merit and his capacity. Let there be no
more privileges, but each Pole find full security for himself,
his wife, his childrt D, and let him who is inferior in mind or
body, find without humiliation the infallible aid of the nation,
which shall have the absolute property of the land which
to-day is only erjoyed by some. Interests (class interests ?)
thus cease, as well as corves and similar rights, and those
who shall fall with arms in their hands for le national
cause, shall obtain an indemnity in land or national goods.
Pol s! frcm this moment we recognise not any difference.
Let us henceforward be as the children of one mother—of
justice ; of one father—the God who is in Heaven. Ia tus in-
voke his aid; he will bless our arms, and give us victory ;
but in order to draw down his blessing, we must not sully
ourselves by the vice of drunkenness, or any other infamous
action • let us not treat despotically those who have been
confided to us ; let us not kill those who are without arms,
nor such as do not think with ourselves, nor strangers ; for
we fight not with people, but with their oppressors. In
token of friendship let us mount the national cockade, and
take the following oath :
" I swear to serve Poland, my country, by council, word,
and action. I swear to sacrifice to her my opinions, my life,
my fortune. I swear absolute obedience to the national Go-
vernment, which has been erected in Cracow the 22d of this
month, at eight o'clock in the evening, in the house of Kry-
stoforz,. and to all the authorities instituted by the Govern.
ment, And may God assist me to keep this vow.

"This manifesto shall be inserted in the Government jour-
nals, sent into all Poland, and notified in all the churches
from the pulpit, and in all the communities by placards in
public places.
" Cracow, 22d Feb., 1846.
