—PECTED ELECTION FOR THE
souTHERN DIVISION OF DEVONSHIRE.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The • Plymouth, Saturday evening, April 1 1 .
and about Exeter seeing that the re-
t resignation of his Majesty's Ministers renders it hi al
probable that Lord John Russell will be called on to take
office
under the new Government, and that in that case his
Lordship must vacate his seat in Parliament, yesterday coin-
eieneed operations with a view to oppose Lord John's re-
tte,,°n, and to procure the return of a Tory candidate in his
p"rn lkyond a doubt the proceedings of the Tories are
d,°tpted by sheer malice towards his Lordship. The candi-
tse whom they intend to bring forward is Montague Parker,
tg Whiteway, North-Huish, in this county. This gen-
,aa, is a cousin of the Earl of Morley, but who else, .or
tle is, we know not. With respect to the Earl of
pose eh we should observe, that though related to the pro-
of, d Tory candidate, yet support from his Lordship cannot
Port be expected. Every one remembers the great sup-
th which his Lordship rendered Lord John Russell during
opeposlast election, when a contest was expected, owing to the
are 'non offered by the Tories. No one, therefore, we
'are will for a moment do his Lordship so much
bti .
‘e as to suppose he would. now abandon Lord
and that, too, in favour of a Tory candidate.-
ailefootunderstand that a liberal subscription has been set
tttend an
by
tthe Tories to defray the expense which will
ko on the intended contest. We are sure the
anners of Devon will come forward in as equally a liberal
:latter on the occasion, so as to prevent all,
.v. any, of the
;;Tense falling on Lord John Russell. In consequence of the
th?,trients on the part of the Tories at Exeter before stated, '
n
lteforrners there have convened meetings, and made ar-
iegaments for securing his Lordship's re-election., Already
ifilave commenced canvassing the electors in their district.
(PI morning, in consequence of an express arriving here
of !Month) from Exeter, with information of the proceedings
cora% Tories, Lord John Russell's late Election Committee,
ktdl?°sed of upwards of 100 of the leading gentlemen here,
141,41 bevonport, Stonehouse, and the neighbourhood, was
keeltliately summoned to attend a special meeting at the
ostehl, les' Institute in this town. At twelve o'clock they
iteCtecl• George W. Soltan, Esq., was called to the chair.
Bayly, Esq., then stated the objects for which the
tr187,,e had been called_ together ; after which a resolution
‘7°Pted to the effect, that as the change of Ministry
,:11 all Probability, lead to an election for the Southern
Lard of the County, on the acceptance of office by
Jot Russell, it was desirable that measures should
case ` I
m.ediately adopted to secure his Lordship's return, in
qg,ll°'. an election. Resolutions were also passed, re-
N,,,ilmg the Committee, consisting of one hundred and six
kesee •'"en, and appointing a Canvassing Committee to corn-
kerousperations immediately. This meeting was both
land highly respectably attended, and on no occasion
s: ever see such a determined spirit evinced by all parties
Itterrtrrt his Lordship than on the present. Immediately
ts hei:h.tneeting was over, an active canvass was commenced
41(ith u°f Lord John, in Plymouth, Devonport, Stonehouse,
kir a neighbouring parishes, which was continued till a late
is Ln,--4,,he result of which, as far as ascertained, we understand
the .17'13' satisfactory. The Tories here (Plymouth), seeing
Issr,l),raPt measures adopted by the friends of Lord John
lisv,-e„,..L,tls afternoon commenced a counter canvass ; and we
Ilse, doubt they will spare neither time, money, or aught
,tstit-.l"heir power, to endeavour to return their Tory fa-
-1,4-8;„ But of the result we think we can safely speak—for,
Nitilat:ute, Lord John, at this moment, stands higher in the
~Nriptif?anf all classes in this district than ever he did. We
risio„. (4.,11 moment suppose that the electors of the Southern.
orti,i;.°' Devon will so far disgrace themselves as to oust his
Nept

THE SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESSES

RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS-AND THE
IRISH CHURCH.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The remarkable despatch for which
The Sun newspaper office has been long remarkable in trans-
mitting. the latest reports of the parliamentary debates, and
other important news to the distant parts of the kingdom, has
seldom been more striking than in forwarding the information
of Ministers having resigned on Wednesday evenings A late
edition of this paper, containing the whole of the parliamentary
proceedings of Wednesday,with Sir R. Peel's speech at length,
was received in this city at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon,
from Mr. Wiley, news-agent, of Sheffield.— Yorkshire Gazette,
April 11.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER. —Again we have to record our ad-
miration of the liberal and enterprising spirit by which the
conductors of The Sun newspaper are almost daily strengthen-
ing their claim to the patronage of the public. Immediately
on the official announcement of the resignation of Ministers,
they appear to have dispatched expresses to convey the intelli-
gence in all directions ; and within twenty hours after the Duke
of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel had made the important
communication in their respective Houses of Parliament, a
copy of The Sun, containing a full report of the proceedings,
reached our office, through the agency of Mr. Wiley, of Shef-
field. We lost no time in circulating the news through York
—we sent the paper first to the Judges, who were proceeding
with the business of the Assizes at the Castle, and afterwards
we forwarded it to the news-rooms and other public places,
and thus the welcome intelligence was known in every part
of the city nearly three hours before the arrival of the London
mail. The extraordinary exertion used by the proprietors of
The Sun, on this as on other occasions, is duly appreciated by
the public of York ; and it cannot fail to meet everywhere the
reward justly due
.to it. The express which brought the paper
to us proceeded northward, and arrived at Lord Durham's,
Lambton Castle, four hours before the mail.— The Yorkshire-
man (York), April 11.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER. —On two occasions recently the
public press and the inhabitants of this town generally, have
been placed under great obligations to the spirited conductors
of this journal, for the wonderful exertions which they have
made to communicate this important political intelligence at
the earliest possible period. Last week, although the long
debate on Lord John Russell's motion did not terminate until
past three o'clock on Friday morning—soon after twelve the
same night, the express edition of The Sun was in this town
with more than two pages completely occupied with the debate,
down to the division of the house and the close of the business.
And we actually had in our office at half-pist twelve on last
Thursday noon, The Sun, with the whole speech delivered by
Sir Robert Peel on Wednesday night, announcing his deter-
mination to resign. Such exertions as these cannot be too
highly appreciated.—Leeds Times, April 11.

THE SUN EXPRESS.—The intelligence of the resignation of
Ministers was received in this town as early as eleven o'clock
on Thursday forenoon, having been brought express in the
almost unprecedentedly short space of fourteen hours, by Mr.
Murdo Young, the spirited proprietor of The Sun newspaper.
After taking refreshment, Mr. Young proceeded by a special
railway train, with only one carriage, to Liverpool, where he
arrived about half-past one o'clock, within half an hour of which
time the intelligence was communicated to Holyhead and an-
swered, whence it would doubtless be conveyed to Dublin im-
mediately, where we are sure the information would be as ac-
ceptable as on this side the channel. Mr. Perry, of the City
of Dublin Steam Company, would have despatched one of the
Company's vessels from Liverpool to Dublin with the infor-
mation, if there had been one in the river. Unfortunately
they were all in the dock, and, consequently, could not be got
out until the state of the tide permitted the gates to be opened.
A number of reformers in this town, by way of manifesting
their sense of the spirited exertions which on various occasions
have been displayed by Mr. Young in conveying to this, and
other towns important political intelligence by express, re-
solved to present him with a gold snuff-box, and a subscription
was forthwith entered into, which in less than two hours con-
siderably exceeded the requisite sum. It being expected that
Mr. Young would be present at the meeting of the committees
of Messrs. Thomson and Philips in the evening, it was in-
tended to present the box to him then ; but as he was not
there, it was banded to the chairman on his behalf by Mr. G.
H. Winder. Mr. Dyer, on the part of Mr. Young, acknow-
ledged this handsome mark of the satisfaction which thatgen-
tleman's exertions had given to the Manchester reformers.
The box is a very large and handsome one, richly chased, and
weighs seven ounces and three quarters. It has on the lid the
following inscription :—" Presented to Murdo Young, Esq.,
Proprietor of The Sun Newspaper, 9th April, 1835, by a
number of Reformers in Manchester, for his indefatigable
efforts in forwarding Expresses through the Country, and
especially for communicating, in Fourteen Hours, the joyful
intelligence of the Resignation of the Peel Administration on
the previous evening."—Manchester Guardian.
The great activity of The Sun newspaper Proprietor conti-
nues to be manifested on every important occasion. The paper
reached this office last (Thursday) night, with Sir R. Peel's
speech, delivered the preceding evening, on resigning power,
at half-past nine o'clock, having been only about 27 hours on
the road—an instance of despatch which is almost incredible.—
Newcastle Courant.

We have the pleasure of returning our sincere and very best
thanks to the liberal and indefatigable Proprietor of The Sun
newspaper for a copy of that excellent and spirited Journal,
which conveyed to us the earliest intelligence (as indeed it
always has upon all important occasions) of the resignation of
Ministers. We sincerely rejoice to find that the public are
rewarding the unexampled exertions of the Proprietor of this
respectable and truly independent paper, by conferring upon it
the most extensive patronage.—Reading Mercury, April 13.

THE SUN EXPRESS.—We feel ourselves under considerable
obligation to the spirited Proprietor Of The Sun newspaper,
for a copy of the Express Edition containing the division on
Friday morning week on the Irish Church Question, which
was received by us on Saturday. We immediately communi-
cated the important tidings which it contained to our readers,
and everywhere they were received with gladness and exulta-
tion. In the evening Mr. M. Young's good health and
" Success to The Sun," was drank with hearty good will by
a large and respectable company of our townsmen. On Thurs-
day afternoon, at a quarter past five o'clock, The Sun express
arrived in Lancaster, bringing the glad tidings of the resigna-
tion of Sir R. Peel. The news created no small degree of
sensation and excitement amongst the inhabitants. Every ho-
nest Reformer rejoiced—whilst the few Tories that are still to
be found in the town, wandered up and down, with their hands
in their pockets, not knowing what to do or say. Betting is
running high as to the next Premier.—Keirdal Mercury,
April 11.

Amongst the numerous other proprietors of provincial
Papers, we again acknowledge the valuable and important
aid we have received in early intelligence by the express
dispatched from The Sun Newspaper office in town. We
received, as our readers of last week are aware, the full
particulars of the debate and decision on Lord John Rus-
sell's important Irish . Church motion fourteen hours earlier
than the communications obtained by the ordinary channels,
through the medium of Mr. Mansell, News Agent, Bir-
mingham. There is no recorded instance of such dispatch
since the invention of printing, and it cannot fail to be
justly apprecciated by all persons who take an interest in the
national affairs at a crisis the most important within the
memory of man.— Worcester Herald.
THE SUN.—The intelligence of the defeat of the Ministry,
on Wednesday morning last, was received at our office early on
Thursday afternoon, by letter from our own correspondent ; and
a few hours afterwards an express arrived from The San
office, bringing the declaration of the Duke of Wellington and
Sir R. Peel, that they had found it necessary to tender their
resignations in consequence of that defeat. We have to ex-
press our thanks to the proprietors of The Sun for this mark
of attention; by which we obtained this important intelligence
many hours earlier than through the usual channels. The
public in all parts of the kingdom are indebted to the con-
ductors of that enterprising journal, for furnishing the earliest
information on every important occasion.—Devonport Tele-
graph, April 11.

We have to`record our obligations to the spirited proprietor
of The Sun newspaper, for the receipt of a copy of his
Journal, containing a full report of the proceedings in Par-
liament on the evening of the Ministerial resignations, at
eleven o'clock the following morning—thus enabling us to
communicate the important intelligence to our fellow-citizens,
more than six hours before the arrival of the London coaches.—
Salisbury and Wiltshire Herald, April 11.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We are indebted, since our last, to
to the spirited publishers of The Sun Newspaper for two ex-
presses ; the first on Saturday evening, with the report of the
debate and the division on Lord John Russell's motion on the
preceding morning, and the second at a quarter before ten
o'clock on Thursday night, with the account of Sir R. Peel's
resignation, as announced by him in the House of Commons on
Wednesday evening 1 Such extraordinary exertions, to say
nothing of the heavy expense which attends them, merit the
thanks of the country, and we trust they will meet the reward
and encouragement they are so justly entitled to.—Newcastle
Chronicle.

It is only common justice to state, that the public through-
out England, Scotland, ,and Ireland, have been indebted for
their earliest intelligence of the resignation of Ministers and of
all the recent important divisions in Parliament, to the unpre-
dented exertion of The Sun, whose Express brought copies of
that paper, containing Sir Robert Peel's Speech on his resig-
nation to this town, as early as half-past twelve o'clock on
Thursday.—LeedsMercury.
At length the Whigs have effected what they call their
triumph, by forcing Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues to
abandon office. We copy, from an Express Edition of The
Sun, the Ministerial announcement of this resignation in both
Houses of Parliament, on Wednesday evening.— Glasgow
Free Press, April 11.

THE SUN EXPRESSES.—Again we have the pleasing duty of
acknowledging the obligations of the country to the proprietor
of The Sun, for his perseverance in the system of sending, by
express, important news. His express, with Sir R. Peel's
speech on his resignation, which was delivered in the House
between six and seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, reached
Mr. Wiley's, in this town, at half-past nine o'clock next morn-
ing. Mr. Wiley immediately despatched horse expresses to
Doncaster, York, and Huddersfield, and proceeded himself, in
a chaise and pair, to Leeds, Darlington, Durham, and Lamb-
ton Castle, where he had the honour of communicating the
news to the Earl of Durham, at nine o'clock on Thursday
evening. From Durham, Mr. Wiley sent a horse express to
Newcastle. Alas 1 ror the hopes of the Tories, this famous
address, (from those who, three months ago, did not dare to
propose a candidate for Sheffield,)- which was to enable Sir
Robert, with his Knatchbull and Roden associates, to make
