OF THE DEBATE.

The proprietors of The Sun newspaper have again com.
menced their enterprising exertions for the rapid transmission
of intelligence. An express from their office, containing the
debate 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.—
Scotsman.

WONDERFUL EXPEDITION.—The debates in the House of
Commons on Tuesday closed a short time before midnight ; the
concluding portion had then to be set up In type, and a certain
number (no small one we believe) of copies printed for the dif.
ferent circuits, so that it must have been nearly-one o'clock
before an express could start from the metropolis ; yet, before
the hour of noon on Wednesday, The Sun newspaper, with the
whole of the debates, was in Nottingham ; and by noon a por-
tion of them was transferred to our own columns. The proprie-
tors of The Sun will, no doubt, meet with strong support for
their exertions in forwarding the latest intelligence.—Notting-
ham Mercury.

Having received early on Thursday, by special express to
this office exclusively, the London Sun of the evening but one
before, containing the King's Speech, we have no later arrival
to acknowledge than the Journals of Wednesday received this
morning; but with the exception of the Parliamentary Debates,
they contain no news.— Cork Southern Reporter.

It will be seen, by a paragraph among our domestic news,

that we received last night the express-edition of The Sun,
containing the whole of the debate and divisions in both Houses
of Parliament upon the King's speech, as fully as they will have
appeared in the following day's papers. We have gladly
availed ourselves of this circumstance to prepare for our readers
an abridged account of all the proceedings.—Aberdeen He: ald,
Feb. 8.

We received copies of The Sun (of Tuesday, containing the
King's Speech) at a very early hour on Wednesday morning.
The Sun again arrived at seven o'clock with the whole of the
debates on the address up to the adjournment of the House.
We cannot avoid expressing our admiration of the talent, en-
terprise, and pecuniary sacrifice which these splendid efforts
exhibit, in order to put the public in possession of the latest
political information.—Liverpool Chronicle.

TUESDAY NIGHTS' DEBATE.—The joint exertions of the
London Sun and M! ssrs. Johnston and Co. of Dublin, in trans.
miffing intelligence to all parts of the country, are beyond all
praise. The House of Commons did not adjourn till 12 o'clock
on Tuesday night, almost at the moment of adjournment the
whole debate was published in The Sun, and forwarded to the
country by express, so as to anticipate the ordinary mail by
eighteen hours.—Cork Southern Reporter.
EXPRESSES FROM LONDON.—On Wednesday morning last, at
10 o'clock, we were not a little surprised on receiving a parcel
from London containingseveral copies of the Courier, in which
was inserted the speech of his Majesty on the opening of Par.
liament. The speech was delivered on Tuesday afternoon, at
about two o'clock, so that the whole period occupied in print-
ing, despatching, and coliveying it a distance of 217 miles, was
probably short of 19 hours. On the same evening (Wednesday)
at half-past seven, a copy of The Sun newspaper, containing, in
a third edition, the whole of the debates on the speech—reached
this town, to our address, but the express having overtaken the
coach at a short distance on the other side of Bolton, it was by
mistake sent on to Lancaster by post, and reached us on Thurs-
day morning. The debates alluded to lasted till 12 o'clock on
Tuesday night, and occupied two closely printed pages, yet the
whole was printed and conveyed to this town in 19} hours— a
feat, allowing for the printing, of still more surprising celerity
than the former.—Preston Chronicle.

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—An express from The Sun
newspaper office arrived at Messrs. Wyllie and Son's Library
on Thursday evening, containing the King's Speech, and
divisions on the Address. We feel obliged for a copy of the
latter; and we bear testimony to the extraordinary exertions
used by the Proprietors of The Sun in forwarding expresses on
all important occasions. The above expresses arrived 12 hours
before they could have come by the mail.—Aberdeen Herald.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—AIthough we did not immediately
benefit by the recent express edition of The Sun, we are
bound to join our contemporaries in thanking the proprietors of
that excellent journal for their spirited exertions. On the
evening of Thursday, the active agents of The Sun, Messrs.
J. T. Smith and Co., received copies of that paper (and imme-
diately transmitted them to the Edinburgh journals) contain-
ing full reports of the interesting debates on the King's
speech in both Houses of Parliament down to the adjournment,
which took place in the Commons' House about half-past twelve
o'clock on Tuesday night. The spirited exertions of the pro-
prietors of The Sun to transmit the earliest intelligence is be-
yond all praise, and we are glad to find by the increasing popu-
larity of that journal that their unprecedented exertions are not
unappreciated by the public.—Caledonian Mercury, Saturday,
Feb. 8,

The Sun newspaper left London on Wednesday morning at
two o'clock, and arrived in Chesterfield at a quarter before three
in the afternoon, bringing the whole of the debates in both
Houses of Parliament. We believe the rapidity of this com-
munication is unprecedented in the annals of journalism, and we
sincerely hope the spirited proprietor of this literary luminary
may be duly rewarded for his unparalleled exertions.—Derby.
shire Courier, Saturday, Feb. S.

An Express edition of The Sun arrived last night at Messrs.
Smith and Co.'s General Newspaper-office, 40, St. Andrew.
square, who politely forwarded us a copy without delay, by
which means we were enabled to give our readers a full re-
port of the debates in both Houses of Parliament on the
King's speech. This extraordinary effort of The Sun, to whom
we were so much indebted during last Session of Parliament, is
beyond all praise; and we are glad to find that their unpre-
cedented exertions are being appreciated in the increased po-
pularity and extended circulation of the paper.—Edinburgh
Observer, Friday, Feb. 7.

In the expectation of receiving by express this morning the
King's speech, delivered on the opening of Parliament, on
Tuesday last, we delayed the publication of our paper this day
beyond the usual hour. We have not been disappointed our
esteemed friends the Messrs. Johnston, of Eden-quay, Dublin,
General newspaper agents, have, with their usual zeal and un-
precedented exertions, supplied us with a copy of The Sun of
Tuesday evening, forwarded to them by express. This, with
other instances of their exertion, deserves general approbation,
and proves their zeal for the accommodation of the public.—
Enniskillen Chronicle, Thursday, Feb. 6.

The Proprietors of The Sun have again shown that they
spare no expense or labour to supply the country, especially
Scotland, with the latest and fullest accounts of the proceed-
ings in Parliament. Mr. M'Phun received an express last
night about 8 o'clock with that paper, which contains a full re-
port of the proceedings down to the adjournment of the House
at 12 o'clock on Tuesday.—Glasgow Chronicle, Feb 7.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The enterprising proprietors of this
journal to whom the public of Scotland are under deep obliga-
tions for early intelligence have, with the sitting of Parliament,
again began to send expresses. The express edition of The
Sun of Tuesday contained no less than eleven columns of
debate—a most astonishing effort.—Fifeshire Journal, Satur-
day, Feb 8.

Copies of The Sun, containing his Majesty's speech on the
opening of the session of Parliament, reached Cooper's News-
paper office, in this town, by Express, at half-past ten o'clock
the same night. On the following morning, soon after eleven,
copies of the same paper, with a full report of the proceedings
to the close of the debate at midnight, were also received here,
and forwarded with all expedition to Ireland. The Express
transmitted to the Dublin Mail the same day reached that city
in twenty-two hours after leaving London. Birmingham
Gazette, Monday, Feb. 10.

Last night's debates we gave in asecond edition; in our last
the conclusion of the debate on the first night, including the
speeches of O'Connell and Mr. Littleton on the address. For
being thus enabled to anticipate our contemporaries, we were
indebted to an express despatched from The Sun Olfice, and
which reached Dublin at five o'clock on Thursday—thus beat-
ing the regular mail by twelve hours.—Dublin Evening Post,
Feb. 8.

THE KING'S SPEECII—THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS.—We
received, early on Thursday morning, per the Albion steamer,
the London Journals of Monday. They were followed by the
arrival of Journals of the same date by the usual conveyance,
and these again by an Express Edition of The Sun of Tuesday,
bringing a copy of the King's speech, delivered at the opening
of Parliament on that day. Of this speech, the readers of the
Constitution, in town and country, were put in possession in
the course of the evening, but we re-publish it this morning,
lest, in the hurry consequent on the haste with which it was
despatched, the Supplements intended for our subscribers
should in any instance have missed their destination. A
Second Edition of the same spiritedly-conducted Journal
brought us yesterday morning the introductory portion of the
debate on the Address, and a Third Edition, transmitted by
another Express, subsequently furnished us with the conclu-
sion, though the last division did not take place until within a
few minutes of twelve at night! The result of these admirable
exertions (promptly and ably seconded as they have been by
our own vigilant and indefatigable agents, Messrs. Johnston
and Co. of Dublin) is, that we are this morning enabled to de-
spatch from our office, nine hours before they could reach Cork
by the Mail, the proceedings of both Houses up to the hour of
adjournment ! Both to the proprietor of The Sun and to the
Messrs. Johnston, to whose combined exertions we are thus
indebted, we beg to express our best acknowledgments.—Cork
Constitution, Feb. 8.

The Beggar's Daughter, as altered by She-
ridan Knowles, will be ready for performance at the Vic-
toria theatre on Monday se'nnight. The rehearsals have
been sedulously attended by all the principal performers,
and no expense is spared by the management in bringing
the piece out in a manner worthy of the author. Some
new scenes, and many new dresses have been prepared.
Abbott's part will be that of Young Small, to which
Knowles has made several important additions. From
what we have seen of it, we do not entertain the sliglrest
doubt of its entire success. Knowles's part was originally,
f we recollect rightly, in the hands of Cooper.
