THE FUNDS.

We have arrivals this morning from various parts of the
Continent, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, and also from
the Peninsula. The former arrivals do not bring any informa-
tion of much importance, but that from Portugal, which has
been anxiously looked for, is of importance, as it was expected
that General Saldanha would have been in possession of Co-
imbra. This is not the case, for it appears that after he sur-
prised Ley ria, Don Miguel's army immediately made two sor-
ties from Santarem to the right and left : one against Saldanha,
with 4,000 men, and the other against the main army of Don
Pedro, under the Duke of Terceira, in both of which the Mi_
guelite troops were repulsed, with a severe loss. The private
letters from Lisbon say, that in a few days the fate of Don
Miguel will be decided. These favourable accounts from
Lisbon have had an effect on the Portuguese New Stock, which
has improved to 671.

At the opening of the Foreign Market this morning a greal
rush took place of the various brokers.

Spanish Stock, which left off on Saturday at 32 3i 33, was
immediately done at 30, and afterwards receded to 28%.
A. reaction took place, and they went up again to 30 %, at
which price they are at present. Since Saturday there has
been a fluctuation in the above stock of 8 per cent , without
the least positive infonnation of what the Spanish Government
is going to do in respect to the Cortes' Bonds. We suspect all
this stock-jobbing concern may be attributed to the great oppo-
sition of the two great capitalists in Holland and in this
country, who are said to be bargaining for the Spanish Loan.
Consols opened at 84 the same as they left off at on Sa-
turday ; and at present they are 891 j for the Account.
HALF-PAST ONE.

All the private letters from Lisbon confirm the accounts
already published. We have no further arrivals or reports to
communicate.
Consols continue steady at 89i for the Account. This mar-
ket is almost deserted, and the chief business doing is in the
Foreign Market; Spanish Stock has receded to 291 30 ; For.

SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESS,
WITH THE KING'S SPEECH AND THE WHOLE

OF THE DEBATE.

DUBLIN CASTLE, FEB. 7th, 1834

Mr. MONTGOMERY presents his compliments to ➢lr. Young,
and is directed by HIS EXCELLENCY THE LORD LIEU-
TENANT to return his thanks for the extraordinary exertions
made by Mr. Young in forwarding the :result of the debates,
with the divisions of Tuesday the 4th of February.
M. Young, Esq., Sun Newspaper-office, Strand.

EARLY INTELLIGENCE.—At ten o'clock on Wednesday
morning an express, sent at the expense of the proprietor of
The Sun, put us in possession not only of the King's Speech and
the debates in the House of Lords up to its close at seven
o'clock, but the whole of the debate in the Commons also, to
the rising of the house at 12 o'clock. By this activity of the
Proprietor. of The Sun the inhabitants of this town were
enabled to read the whole of the debate on the King's Speech
eight hours before it could be seen through the usual channels
of conveyance.—Leicester Chronicle.

The proprietors of The Sun have again commenced their en-
terprising exertions for the rapid transmission of intelligence.
An express from their office, containing the debates in both
houses on the address to his Majesty, reached the office of
Messrs. Smith and Co., St. Andrew's square on Wednesday
night, who, with their usual alacrity, immediately despatched
copies to all the newspaper offices in town.—Edinburgh Even-
ing Courant;

DEBATE ON TUESDAY NIGHT BY EXPRESS.—We are enabled,
by the exertions of Messrs. Johnston of Eden-quay, to present
our readers with the entire of the debates on the address, in
both Houses, on Tuesday night. The House of Commons did
not adjourn until twelve o'clock ; but the spirited conductors
of The Sun published after that hour an edition of their
journal, of which we have availed ourselves on this occasion.—
Dublin Morning Register, Feb. 7.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—By the extraordinary exertions of
this journal, which has given in an express edition the conclu.
sion of Tuesday's debate, we are enabled, through the Messrs.
Johnston, of Edin-quay, to present our readers with the full
proceedings of both Houses of Parliament on the address to
his Majesty. The second publication of The Sun arrived in
Dublin at five o'clock, within forty-one hours after the House
of Commons had risen. So successful an effort reflects the
highest credit on the spirited proprietors of the London paper,
and the enterprise of the above-mentioned respectable agents.—
Freeman's Jonrnal of Friday, Feb. 7.

BY EXPRESS EXTRAORDINARY.—THE KING'S SPEECH ON
OPENING PARLIAMENT.-20 MINUTES to 2 OCLOCK, P.M.—AS
promised in our last number, our express from Dublin, with
the King's speech on the opening of Parliament yesterday has
arrived at this moment—an instance of despatch unequalled,
considering the nature of the weather. One of the Mr. John-
stons, of the house of Johnston and Co., newspaper agents,
has been the bearer of our express; and though he travelled
under circumstances of great difficulty from the state of the
roads, he performed his journey in an uncommonly short time.
We thus open the session with one of those exertions which we
will continue throughout. The speech, which we subjoin, is
copied from The Sun of last evening, whose unparalleled exer-
tions on this, as on all former occasions, are well known to the
public.—Cork Southern Reporter of Thursday.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We, in common with all connected
with the press in the North, have often been greatly indebted
to the spirited proprietors of The Sun for early intelligence,
which they have spared no expense to forward by express.
They have already begun the same spirited exertions this ses-
sion, and, while we express our thanks, we cannot doubt but
the public will duly appreciate the extraordinary efforts of the
proprietors in their behalf, and that the already extensive cir-
culation of The Sun will meet with a corresponding increase.
We need hardly say that we admire the principles as well as
the enterprise of its conductors.—Berwick Advertiser, Feb. 7.

The debate on the first day of the Parliamentary session,
which lasted until midnight, appeared in The Sun paper, and
was in common circulation in this town at half-past nine on
Wednesday morning, conveyed by the spirited proprietors of
that paper by express.—Hampshire Telegraph, Feb. 10.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—Through the extraordinary exer-
tions of the spirited proprietor, the King's speech was circu-
lated through this city on Wednesday, some hours before the
other evening papers arrived. We received a parcel by express,
and had the pleasure of seconding the views of the proprietor
of The Sun, by forwarding a copy to each of the reading-
rooms, &c., in the city ; on the following morning we received
a later edition, containing a full report of the whole of the de-
bate, and which was not only circulated throughout Exeter,
but Plymouth also, with the same advantageous priority.—
Western Times, Exeter, Feb. 8.

GREAT DESPATCH.—The exertions made by some of the
London newspapers to gratify public curiosity are truly amaz-
ing. The King's speech was delivered in London at two
o'clock on Tuesday ; and we suppose could scarcely be de-
spatched before four o'clockthe same afternoon, yet it reached
Manchester by six o'clock on Wednesday morning, and was in
Carlisle, by the heavy coach, soon after ten the same evening ;
was reprinted by us and very generally circulated through the
city by half-past ten ; having thus been twice printed and
travelled a distance of upwards of 300 miles in little more than
30 hours. To the proprietors of the Courier we are indebted
for this exertion. By some mistake in the arrangement, the
copies of the Courier which arrived here for Glasgow and
Edinburgh were not despatched until next morning, when they
were sent forward with the mail—thus entirely frustrating the
design. Copies of The Sun were expected by the same con-
veyance, and horses were in readiness to carry them forward to
Glasgow and Edinburgh, but they had taken the wrong route,
and did not reach here until next day. We were compensated,
however, on Thursday morning, by the arrival of another
express from The Sun office, with copies of that paper con-
taining the whole of the debate of Tuesday night—thus antici-
pating the mail by nearly a whole day! This express was im-
mediately sent forward on horseback to Glasgow and Edin-
burgh, which it would reach almost 20 hours before the regular
conveyance.—Carlisle Journal.

HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECII.-The spirited publisher of The
Sun newspaper appears determined to distinguish himself, as
usual, by supplying the earliest intelligence on important politi-
cal matters, during the Session of Parliament. At half-past
ten o'clock on Tuesday evening an express arrived in this
town, from The Sun office, with copies of that paper containing
the King's speech, and full particulars of the opening of Par-
liament. This express was continued to Holyhead, to be for-
warded from thence to Dublin. At half-past eleven o'clock on
Wednesday morning another express arrived at the news-
agents', Mr. Cooper and Mr. Mansell, in Union-street, with a
third edition of The Sun, in which was a full report of the
debate upon the address, which was not concluded until twelve
o'clock the night previous. On Thursday morning at half-past
eleven o'clock, an express also arrived, bringing copies
of The Sun, containing a report of the debate in the House of
Commons on Wednesday evening, up to the time of the com-
mittal of Lord Althorp and Mr. Sheil to the custody of the Ser-
geant-at-Arms.—Birmingham Journal.

MESSRS. JOHNSTON AND CO., AND THE PROPRIETORS OF TILE
EVENING MAIL.—To the generous, spirited, praise worthy
exertions of Messrs. Johnston and Co., and the Proprietors of
the Evening Mail are we indebted for the early arrival on
Thursday morning, of The Sun and the Mail, each containing
an account of the opening of Parliament, and a copy of the
King's Speech. The Sun which the Messrs. Johnston for-
warded by express in advance of the Dublin mail to Cork,
arrived here about half-past two in the morning, being little
less than an hour in advance of the mail coach which brought
the Evening Mail. The Messrs. Johnston, we know, had to en.
counter much difficulty in procuring horses fit to travel at some
of the stages : this retarded their courier very considerably.
The number of The Sun destined for this city, first came into
the hands of our contemporary, Mr. Denroche, who kindly sup-
plied us with a copy as early as possible. To the Messrs.
Johnston are we again indebted for the express edition of The
Sun up to the latest hour on Tuesday, which we received yes-
terday morning by post, and which enables us to lay before our
readers in this day's Journal a continuation of the dedate upon
the King's speech, and the divisions thereon.—Kilkenny Jour-
nal, Feb. 8.
EXPRESS.—PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.—WC received
last night, by Express, from the Messrs. Johnston, a copy of
the second edition of The Sun of Tuesday evening, contain-
ing a report of the debates in both Houses of Parliament up to
the hour of post. We subjoin a summary.—Belfast News-
Letter.

UNPARALLELED DESPATCH.—By the exertions of the pro-
prietors of the London Courier, we were in possession of a
copy of his Majesty's speech at half-past nine on Wednesday
morning, being, we suppose, little more than seventeen hours
after its delivery in the House of Lords, in which space it had
been forwarded two hundred and seventeen miles ! By this
exertion the other evening papers were anticipated in this
town nearly eleven hours ; and the time is not long gone by,
when we should have had to wait till the Thursday morning
at eight o'clock, before a copy would have been delivered. By
considerable exertions, The Sun expressed their paper of Tues.
day evening, containing a report of the whole of the proceed.
ings of both Houses, to the time of their rising, thus antici-
pating the arrival of the morning papers here about sixteen
hours !!—Preston Pilot.

From an Express Edition of The Sun, we have been enabled
to give the debate in both Houses to the close. Edinburgh
Advertiser.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—It is with pleasure we again draw
the attention of the public to the very extraordinary exertions
of The Sun Newspaper. We anticipated an express during
the course of yesterday, which Messrs. Smith and Co., St.
Andrew-square, received in the course of the evening, when
they obligingly transmitted us a copy, by which means we are
enabled to lay before our readers the interesting debate on the
King's Speech in the House of Lords, as well as that in the
Commons down to the division, which took place about twelve
o'clock on Tuesday night —Edinburgh Observer.
THE FIVE EXPRESSES ON WEDNESDAY.—At seven o'clock we
received a fifth express from The Sun office, containing the whole
of the debates up to the adjournment of both Houses. The
whole expresses arrived at Mr. Willmer's, Newspaper Office,
by whom this intelligence was forwarded to all parts of Scot-
land, Wales, and Ireland. At one o'clock this morning we
were favoured by Mr. Willmer with a third edition of The Sun,
received by express, and bringing up the proceedings till nine
o'clock on Wednesday night. From it we learn that Lord

Althorp, on being pressed, exonerated Mr. O'Connell and Mr.
Finn from the charge of speaking and voting against the Co.
ercion Bill in public, and recommending its adoption in pri.
vate, and charged Mr. Shell as the man. Both his Lordship
and Mr. Shell were ordered into custody to prevent a duel be..
tween the parties.—Liverpool Mercury.

We received, at a late hour last night, through Messrs. Will_
finer and Smith's office, a copy of the express edition of The
Sun, supplying a continuation of the debate in the House of
Commons on Wednesday night, up to nine o'clock. The first
part of it will be found under our Parliamentary head. But
for the scene which occurred in the House, we should not, per-
haps, have considered it necessary to continue the debate to a
later hour than we had previously given it. —Liverpool Standard,
February 7.

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—At half-past ten o'clock on
Tuesday evening, The Sun newspaper was received in Birming-
ham, containing a report of the King's Speech, and other
particulars connected with the opening of Parliament; and at
half-past eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning, copies of
the same paper reached that town, with a full and complete
report of the debate on the address, which terminated in the
House of Commons at 12 o'clock the night before. The pro-
vincial Journals are under deep obligations to the publisher of
The Sun for the spirited and persevering manner in which they
are early supplied with all intelligence of importance.—Wor-
cester Herald.

At the closing of our Correspondent's letter there was no
appearance of any amendment being proposed in either House,
but in the Exprest Edition of The Sun,with which Mr. M`Phun
has politely favoured us, we find that in the Commons two
divisions took place. The Sun contains no less than fifteen
columns of debates—a most astonishing effort.—Glasgow
Herald.

We are indebted to the spirited proprietor of The Sun, for
the exertions he made in sending down a sscond edition of his
'T'uesday's paper, containing the King's speech and fifteen
columns of the debate. Mr. Wiley came down from London
with the papers in fourteen hours.—Shdlield Independent, Feb 8.

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.-We have to record another
instance to the many previously recorded, of the extraordinary
exertions made by the proprietors of the London Press to give
the country early intimation of important news. At about
half after three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, an express
passed through this townAwhich had left London at one o'clock
the same morning, conveying a parquet of The Sun newspapers,
with a number of which we were politely favoured, and which
contained fifteen columns of closely printed debates of the
previous evening, ending with the division on the address to
his Majesty in the House of Commons. The House did not
adjourn until about an hour before the departure of the express
The horses were changed at the Hotel here, and we understand
conveyed the express to Bullock-smithy in 33 minutes. The
public, we trust, will show their sense of this effort to oblige
them by the only way open; namely, by an extensive patronage
of the paper.—Macclesfield Courier.

The Messrs. Johnston were most successful in their Special
Express. At half-past four we were favoured by them with a
copy of the London Sun of Tuesday evening, containing the
King's Speech also.—Saunders's News letter.
TliE KING'S SPEEcII.—The inhabitants of this city, and in-
deed of the country at large, owe a deep debt to the enterprise
and public spirit the proprietor and editor of the Evening Mail
have uniformly evinced in obtaining the earliest information on
subjects of great public interest. Again were they first in the
field yesterday in expressing at an unparalleled rate of speed
the King's Speech spoken on Tuesday afternoon in London.
The following will best explain how it has been accomplished:—
" By the most extraordinary effort ever made, and by a speed
never equalled in the annals of the road, we have received the
King's Speech on the opening of Parliament yesterday after-
noon, in twenty-two hours after it had been despatched from
London. Our messenger left London at four o'clock last even-
ing, and reached Holyhead—a distance of two hundred and
sixty-four miles ! at seven this morning, effecting the journey
at an average rate of eighteen miles an hour. The Nottingham
steamer, Captain Jones, had been in waiting at the Head from
the night before—the City of Dublin Company acting with
their usual promptitude and liberality—in charge of a gen-
tleman from this office, when she was instantly got under
way, and performed the passage to Kingstown in seven hours
and three minutes. Nothing could equal the zeal, anxiety, and
attention of the horse masters and heads of posting establish-
ments on the whole line from London to Holyhead ; and al-
though the fleetest horses and best conveyances in England are
perhaps from town to Birmingham, and along to Shrewsbury,
we are bound in justice to say, that the rapidity of forwarding
our Express, although at night, through Wales, was not infe-
rior to that experienced at any other part of the journey. On
a former occasion, when we expressed the King's speech from
London, we were alone in the field, and had no competitors to
contend with. In the present instance the case was different ;
and as we shall always court fair and honourable and manly
competition, we take this occasion to acknowledge, that all was
right, honest, and straightforward. ,Our rivals for fame were
the spirited and enterprising Editor and Proprietor of The Sun
Newspaper, Mr. Murdo Young, who was the first that ever
established the running of Expresses through England and to
this country, upon great occasions of political interest—Mr.
Willmer, the celebrated Agent at Liverpool—and Messrs.
Johnston, of Eden-quay, Dublin, the Irish Agents. Thus had
we British enterprise, perseverance, capital, and experience
embarked against us, and against all combined we have suc-
ceeded. Had we been beaten, we should certainly have felt
chagrin and mortification ; but we would have given to our
successful competitor—for we will not say opponent—the
praise and merit that was his due. Being successful, we will
enjoy our triumph with moderation but the friends and sup-
porters of the Mail will, we think, rejoice, and our country-
men of every class and denomination will feel a national pride
that they now have a Journal of their own, possessing the
energy, and commanding the means, for contending, and with
success, against the first and greatest establishments of the
Empire.—Dublin Evening Mail.
