The Sun.
London, England, 1832-05-16 00:00:00

(From the Liverpool Journal, Saturday, May 12.)

An express edition of The Sun, dated three o'clock in the
morning, arrived here last night at nine, bringing an ample re-
port of the debate, and the result of the division on Lord
Ebrington's motion. The debate will be found in another
page. In a house of 496 Members, a majority of SO declared
their adherence to the Reform Bill, and their vote places the
question in a clear light. The Crown and the Lords are op
posed to the people and their representatives; but as the latter
hold the strings of the public purse, there is little doubt that
the King will find it necessary to escape from the unconstitu-
tional advisers behind the throne.

Froin the Manchester Guardian, Saturday, May 12.)

We received, by express, a very late edition of The Sun
newspaper of Thursday, containing the gratifying result of a
motion, of which notice was on \Wednesday given by Lord
Ellington, for an address to his Majesty on the present crisis
of affairs. This address, expressive of the deep regret felt by
the House of Commons, at the retirement from his Majesty's
councils of those Ministers in whom the House of Commons
continues to repose unabated confidence, and imploring his Ma-
jesty to call to his councils such persons only as will carry into
effect, unimpaired in all its essential provisions, that Bill for
the Reform of the representation of the people which has re.
cently passed that House, after a lengthened and very animated
debate, was, we rejoice to say, at half-past two yesterday morn-
ing, carried by a majorify of 288 to 208.

(Hampshire Chronicle, Winchester, Monday, May 14.)
An express edition of The Sun Newspaper, containing the
division in the House of Lords, on Lord Lyndhurst's amend-
ment, was received at the office of this Paper on Tuesday
morning, by eight o'clock, having been conveyed from London
at the rate of fifteen miles an hour; and by this means the
inns, r' Ading-rooms, and other public establishments, of the
city and suburbs, were in possession of the important intelli-
gence several hours earlier than could have been accomplished
by the ordinary modes of conveyance. Another express as.
rived at the office of this Paper at nine o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, with several copies of The Sun, containing the of
the debate of Thursday night, with the division on Lord Eb-
rington's motion, which did not take place until after two
o'clock in the morning. Such instances of extraordinary de-
spatch were unknown until a determined spirit of rivalry was
created between the spirited conductors of The Sun and sonic
of its Evening contemporaries.'

(From the Greenock Advertiser, Friday, May 11.)

The public have again to thank the proprietors of The Sun
newspaper for their unparalleled exertions in these eventful
times—distancing all their competitors, and to Scotland, at
least, anticipating by a whole day the receipt through the ordi-
nary channels, of the most important intelligence. The debate
in the House of Lords on Monday had not terminated till mid-
night, and as it could scarcely have been expected, early in the
evening to have taken the course it did, or to come to a conclu-
sion so portentous, even the vigilance of The Sun might have
been excused for slumbering. On the contrary, however, we
find it to have been prepared to take full advantage of the op-
portunity, and accordingly by the despatch of an express after
the House broke up, with a full report of the debate, the intelli-
gence would be communicated to a❑ the places on its route,
until the regular mail was overtaken, and which, on setting out,
must have been more than five hours in advance of the express.
Thus is another unequivocal proof given of the facility with
which the period for transmitting the mails from London might
be shortened; and for this, as well as the untiring assiduity
which presides over the management of The Sun, we may
safely take upon us again to tender the thanks of the public.
