TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

DEAR Siff—l received your parcel with the Express Edi-
tions of The Sun, containing 16i columns of debate and the
division on the amendment, at seven o'clock last evening, and
immediately forwarded an enclosed parcel of Suns to Leeds,
33 miles, which I find arrived there in two hours and twenty
minutes. I also sent to every one of your very numerous sub-.
scribers ; also six to the New Commercial News Room, and
the newspaper- offices, who all duly appreciate your most praise-
worthy exertions in giving the town of Sheffield the result of
the division at least 14 hours earlier than by the regular
channel of conveyance of the Morning Papers. lam happy
to say that you have also a more substantial proof of the popu-
larity of your journal here, when I state that your subscribers
have nearly trebled since the Session commenced, and that
there is more than ten times the number taken than of any
other Evening Paper.—Yours very respectfully,

THOMAS WILEY,
Agent for the Express Editions of The Still.

Sheffield, Feb. 28.

(From the Birmingham Journal of Sat&day.)
In our paper of last week we had to notice the extraordinary
exertions of The Sun newspaper, in expressing the debates
on the Speakership, and we have this week to notice the ar-
rival of the King's Speech and the important result of the debate
on the Address. An express edition of this paper arrived in
Birmingham on Wednesday morning, at one o'clock, con-
taining the King's speech, and was conveyed to Manchester
and Liverpool by T. Mansell, jun., in both of which places
it was circulated between eight and nine o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning. Yesterday, by another extraordinary effort,
an express arrived at Mansell's at a quarter before 2 o'clock,
conveyed by Mr. Johnson, of Dublin, and which contained
sixteen and a half columns, including the final result of the
debate on the Address, which terminated at half-past two
o'clock in the morning.
The Express Edition of The Sun arrived at Mr. W.
Cooper's, newspaper agent in this town, per Mr. Johnson,
news agent of Dublin, at a quarter before two yesterday, con-
taining the debates and diviion upon the Address to the King,
and was immediately forwarded to Dublin, and the towns ad-
joining Birmingham.
(From the Portsmouth Herald of Feb. 28.)
Our best thanks are due to the proprietors of The Sys
evening paper, for an express edition of that journal, contain-
ing the division upon the Address, which arrived hero at noon
the same day.
(From the Sherborne Mercury, March 2.)
We beg to notice and acknowledge the extraordinary des-
patch of The Sun newspaper. We were favoured with a copy
by express on Friday evening, containing the division on the
address, which anticipated the intelligence by mail to Sher-
borne by fourteen hours !
( From the Cambrian [Swansea] of Feb. 28. )
By means of the extraordinary efforts of The Sun news-
paper, the whole of the report of the debate on the election or
Speaker, with the triumphant result, WnS given in an express
edition of that paper on Thursday se'nnight. We were fa-
voured with a copy, forwarded through the Bristol Post-office,
for which our best thanks are due to the spirited proprietors
of the above journal ; but as our own paper was published
several hours before its arrival, we could not avail ourselves of
its gratifying contents. It afforded, however, the pleasing
information to a great number of gentlemen who had assem-
bled in our office to wait the result. The Sun is entitled not
only to the thanks, but to the cordial support,. of the public
generally, for its efforts to afford the latest information on
questions of great public interest.
(From the Cork Mercantile Chronicle, Feb. 23.)
We have to acknowledge, with thanks, the kind attention
of Messrs. Johnston and Co., Eden Quay, Dublin, for the
second edition of The Sun of Thursday, they had received
by Express, which is to the public of increased value by the
London papers of Friday, due this morning, not having,
yet (two o'clock) arrived at the Post-office.
(From the We.rford Independent, Feb. 25.)
We have again to express our acknowledgments to Messrs-
Johnston and Co., for having supplied us with an express all"
tion of The Sun, containing the debate on the Speakership
several hours earlier than we could have obtained it throng!,
the ordinary channels of communication.
( From the Waterford Mail of Feb. 25. )
We have to express our acknowledgments to the Messrs.
Johnston, of Eden Quay, Dublin, from whom we received an
express edition of The Sun of Thursday, containing the de-
bate, and which they kindly forwarded to all provincial con-
temporaries the same evening. On the steamer, which the
Messrs. Johnston had engaged for the purpose, reaching
Kingstown, their parcel of papers was forwarded to Dublin by
the rail road, one carriage only being attached to the engirie,
and the trip was performed in nine minutes ! Such exertions
as this, and to s hich we gratefully testify, deserve the thanks
of the public ; and we cannot but give utterance to sentiments
of admiration at the efficiency of the arrangements by which
such unparalleled exertions are accomplished.
(From the Mayo Constitution of Feb. 23.)
We must bear testimony to the expedition by which Messrs.
Johnston, of Eden Quay, our News Agents in Dublin, ha"
been able to receive the latest Edition of The Slal, and who'
by this means, we believe, were the first to supply all the
printing offices in Dublin and their country friends with the
proceedings and the debate.

(From the Waterford Mirror of Feb. 93.)
To the Messrs. Johnston, of Eden Quay, Dublin, we beg
to return our best thanks for an Express Edition of The Sub

length, and bringing it down to the very division.

pied so much and so intensely, the public mind, before the

with considerable cost.

this morning, heard the important intelligence which it rng

faces, prompted several persons, very piously disposed, of

churches with a " What's the news?" Such were the efceday
of the " first impression" when your Second Edition of Fr'o

that Sir Robert Peel had wisely and manftilly resolved t?h°is
