THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1R35.

'head against the victorious majority of the Commons, carne too
late. The mail by which it was conveyed to London met the
express of The Sun, bringing the news of the resignation.
Now, therefore, we suppose that the Sheffield Tories, having
existed, like the ephemera, their little day, will sink again
into the state of political quiescence, from which they have only
emerged to learn the wholesome lessons of adversity.—
Sheffieldindependent, April 11.
We acknowledge ourselves indebted to a second edition of
The Sun for the manly explanation of Sir Robert Peel, with
which we furnish our readers, on his announcement of the re-
signation of the Ministry. Laying political differences aside,
we must give The Sun great credit for its exertions, and
attention to the provincial papers, in all cases of extraordinary
interest to the nation.--Barnstaple Advertiser, April 10.
We are indebted to the exertions of the public-spirited pro-
prietor of The Sun for an express edition, containing- the
speech of Sir Robert Peel, announcing to the House of Com-
mons the formal resignation of the Administration, which we
here hive entire.— The Cambrian, April 10.

We are indebted to an express edition of The Sun, dated
six o'clock, Wednesday night, for the information respecting
the resignation of Ministers.—Stockport Advertiser.
THE SUN EXPRESS.—Through the extraordinary exertions
of Mr. Murdo Young, proprietor of The Sun, the intelligence
of the resignation of Ministers was made known throughout the
country with a rapidity seldom paralleled. A second edition
of that paper; containing the whole of the proceedings in both
Houses of Parliament on Wednesday evening, was received at
Chesterfield at eight o'clock on Thursday morning. Had it
not been for Mr. Young's spirited exertion, the information
would not have been received in this town until Friday at noon.
We have to express our grateful acknowledgments to the pro-
prietor of The Sun for having supplied us with a copy of the
paper : also to Mr. Wiley, news, agent, Sheffield, who kindly
forwarded us a second edition of that journal, which enabled us
to place it in the Chesterfield News-room.—Derbpshire Cou-
rier, April 11.

RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.—We have again to notice the
spirited exertions of Mr. Young, proprietor of The Sun. On
Thursday forenoon we received, per favour of his agent, Mr.
Wiley, a copy of that journal (express), containing the Par-
liamentary intelligence of the resignation of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters. The express left London at half-past seven on Wed-
nesday evening, and arrived in Sheffield at half-past nine on
Thursday morning. Expresses were immediately forwarded
to Doncaster, York, and Huddersfield ; and Mr. Wiley him-
self left Sheffield at twenty minutes to ten, A.M., and arrived at
Leeds at twenty minutes past twelve ; Darlington at six, P. M. ;
Durham at eight ; and at the Right Hon. Earl Durham's,
Lambton Castle, at nine—leaving Express Editions of The
Sun at all the towns he passed through.—Sheffield Mercury.
SUN EXPRESS.—An express edition of The Sun, London
Evening Paper, containing the intelligence that, his Majesty's
Ministers had resigned, reached Liverpool, via Manchester, at
half-past one o'clock on Thursday. At Manchester, a rail-
road engine, with one carriage, was engaged to convey the
express to this town. Within half-an-hour after its arrival
here, the news was telegraphed to Holyhead, and answered.
Mr. Perry, of the City of Dublin Company, would have
despatched one of the Company's vessels to Dublin with the
information, 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. In common with the public in general, we are much
indebted to the conductors of The Sun for the extraordinary
exertions they are in the habit of making, in order to give the
earliest intimation of what is going on at head-quarters.—
Liverpool Chronicle, April 11.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We beg to tender our thanks to
the spirited proprietor of this paper, for his kindness in for-
warding the Express Edition containing the whole of the
Parliamentary Debates of Wednesday. Opposed as we are
politically to the principles of that able Journal, we more highly
appreciate this courtesy on the part of the Proprietor, and we
shall feel much pleasure in making a return " in kind," when-
ever an opportunity may offer.— Gloucestershire Chronicle.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We have again been under deep
obligations to The Sun newspaper for its wonderful exertions.
On Saturday evening last it brought us the entire debate and
division on Lord John Russell's motion, although the debate
did not close till near three o'clock on Friday morning. And
yesterday (Friday) morning, about half past one, an express
arrived from the same office with Sir Robert Peel's speech in
the House of Commons on Wednesday evening, announcing
his resignation. We trust the public will not fail to show a
just appreciation of these unprecedented exertions.—Carlisle
Journal, April 11.

We_feel great pleasure in returning our very cordial thanks
to the able and spirited Editor of The Sun, for favouring us
with two Expresses, bringing the important news of the defeat
and resignation of the Peel Ministry. The latter of these
Expresses we received on Thursday evening, about five o'clock,
containing a full report of the Premier's speech, on retiring
from office. The unceasing efforts of Mr. Young to commu-
nicate the earliest possible intelligence to the provincial press
cannot be too highly appreciated.—Devonport Independent,
April 11.

The express edition of The Sun, received by Mr. M'Phun
to-day, contains a much fuller account of Peel's speech, and
the resignation of Ministers, than is to be found in any of the
other London papers.—Glasgow Chronicle.
THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The exertions of Mr. Young, the
Proprietor and Editor of this Newspaper, continue as un-
abated as ever. We learn from the Glasgow Papers, that an
edition of this paper arrived at the office of Mr. M'Phun, in
that city, four hours before the arrival of the mail on Sunday,
which contained full reports of Thursday evening debates, and
the subsequent division. We have repeatedly through the
kindness of Mr. M'Phun, Mr. Young's Glasgow agent, in
sending us express editions of The Sun from Glasgow, had
news of importance many hours earlier than we would other-
wise have received them. Certainly The Sun deserves a
large share of public patronage.—Kilmarnock Journal.
THE SUN EXPRESS.—By the spirited exertions of Mr. Murdo
Young, the proprietor of The Sun newspaper, the announcement
of the resignation of Ministers, as made in Parliament on Wed-
nesday evening, was known in Manchester on Thursday forenoon,
soon after eleven o'clock, about which time we were favoured by
Mr. Lewis with a copy of The Sun, containing a full report of
Sir R. Peel's speech on the occasion. In consideration of this
and previous efforts since the opening of the present brief ses-
sion of Parliament, a subscription was on Thursday afternoon
set on foot by several respectable persons of the town, in order
to present Mr. Young with an acknowledgment of his services;
and in less than two hours a sufficient sum was raised for the
purchase of a beautiful gold snuff-box, which has since been
presented to Mr. Young, through Mr. J. C. Dyer. —Manclies-
ter Advertiser, April 11.
The great activity of The Sun newspaper proprietor con-
tinues 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 dispatch which is almost
incredible.—Newcastle Courant.

The Sun, containing the speech of Sir Robert Peel, in
which he stated that Ministers had resigned, was brought to
Plymouth by despatch, and was received here a considerable
time before the arrival of the mail.—Plymouth Herald.
Sir Robert Peel's last dying speech and confession, for
which we are indebted to an Express Edition of The Sun,
will be found in another part of our paper.—The Welchman,
April 10.

In a second edition of our last Gazette, we published the
important division in the House of Commons on Friday morn-
ing, upon the appropriation of the Irish Church surplus reve-
nue. We were again indebted to the kind exertions of the
proprietor of The Sun evening newspaper, for a parcel with
express editions of that paper, containing a full report of the
debate on the fourth clay. Since the above was written, we
received an express edition of The Sun of Wednesday, contain-
ing the important resignation of the Ministers. The pro-
prietors of The Sun paper sent an especial express the whole
way from London to Devonport.— Woolmer's Exeter Gazette,
April

EXTRAORDINARY EXPEDITION.—We have to acknowledge
ourselves under great obligations to Mr. Young, the spirited
Editor of The Sun, and also to Mr. T. Wiley, News Agent,

12, Haymarket, Sheffield, through whose combined exertions
an Express reached our office, in York, about Thursday noon,
with a printed report of the resignation of Ministers, as an-
nounced the previous night in Parliament. The news was
soon after communicated to the public and in, the Courts, and
caused a very great sensation throughout the city.--York
Herald, April 11.

The Sun, as usual, took the lead in communicating to the
country, the important announcements made in Parliament on
Wednesday night. The speech of Sir Robert Peel on that
evening was published at length in an express edition of
that paper, which reached this city before seven o'clock on
Thursday morning. The public spirit of the proprietors is
deserving of universal support.—Gloucester Journal.

An Express Edition of The -Sun, containing the whole of
Sir Robert Peel's speech, announcing his resignation, in the
liouselof Commons, on Wednesday evening, was received at
our office, at ten minutes before eight o'clock last night 1 The
messenger had travelled the distance from London to this city,
265 miles, in little more than 24 hours. The proprietor of
The Sun deserves the greatest praise for his spirited exertions
to communicate important intelligence to the remotest corners
of the kingdom, with a promptitude and despatch that is not
merely creditable but wonderful. The messenger went on
to Lambton Castle immediately. The glorious news was
received with the greatest satisfaction here ; and the tolling of
the Town-hall bell, by order of our public-spirited Mayor,
made the whole town acquainted with the glad tidings within
five minutes after their arrival.—Durham Chronicle, April 10.
TEE SUN NEWSPAPER.—EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—We
have several times had occasion to allude to the great ex-
ertions of the spirited proprietors of The Sun London paper,
in furnishing early intelligence of the doings of Parliament.
Since tba time our last paper went to press, we have had two
expresses from The Sea office, (for copies of papers by both
of which we have to return our thanks) the former of which
brought the news of the first division on Lord John Russell's
Irish Church Bill, which division did not take place till three
o'clock on Friday morning, and the intelligence arrived here
at ten minutes past nine on Saturday morning. The news of
the resignation of Ministers was communicated through an
express edition of The Sun, containing the whole of the par-
liamentary intelligence of Wednesday night, (including Sir R.
Peel's speech,) which was received here, 217 miles from town,
in nineteen hours and a quarter after its delivery in London,
anticipating the morning papers by twenty-two hours, and the
other evening papers by twenty-seven hours.—Preston Pilot,
April 11,

DUBLIN.

(FROM OVR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The Tories are setting their house in order at this side
of the water too, and paving the way for a good out-and-
out factious opposition. A brushing up of their old Anti-
Reform rigmarolery is taking place, and they meditate a
re-appearance in the same unchequered garb of blue dyed
in grain, which they put aside during the few short months
that they thought to impose upon the world, as "salutary
Reformers." The Coronation Oath has been taken out of
the arms-chest of the Orange press, and furbished up for a
coat of mail. It was laid up in lavender as soon as Sir
Robert gave a hint about lopping away 2.5 per cent. of
the tithe. That was pronounced to be a heaven-born mea-
sure admirably conservative of all the rights and possessions
of the Church. It proposed to take away one pound out
of every four ; yet was it applauded to the very echo as
just and desirable. But now, seeing that the loaves and
• fishes are not, even by such a sacrifice, to be retained, the
Church property in its complete entireity, has again roused
these honest champions from their slumbers. The Evening
Mail of Wednesday resumes the exploded note in these
terms :—" To the act of alienating one farthing from the
Established Church, the King cannot assent without perjury."
A delicate beginning this, and wide as the poles removed
from " faction !" The distress of the zealous scribe has
something of .the ludicrous about it. Thus he endeth his
lamentation=" It (appropriation) is a monster conceived
in rapine, nurtured on perjury, and growing up into revolu-
tion. Is there no Hercules to bruise its head ?" Alas !
no. "On my word, Captain, there's no such here."
The extravagance is not all on one side. The Freeman's
Journal, a paper which affects to consider Mr. O'Connell
too tame, and Feargus O'Connor himself, sometimes slow
of heart and action, raises a fine outcry against the return
to power of Earl Grey. Here follows the Freeman's rhap-
sody : -
" The Noble Earl's accession to power would be'the
signal for an universal outbreak in Ireland. His very name is
abhorred ; we have had enough of the tyrant in friend's garb,
and if oppression is still to be our lot, let us, in resistance
—for in that case resist we will—have at least an open foe
to encounter. What—submit again to Draco's rule ?
,Never—rather let every man, woman, and child in Ireland
perish."
The Evening Mail quotes this passage with rapture, and
exclaims—" This is good, most excellent." And so indeed
in would be most excellent for the purposes of the Tory
party, if the Freeman's Journal were the acknowledged
organ of any one party, or section, or segment of a party
in Ireland. But it is not. Though written with great
power and eloquence, it is but the organ of the proprietors
and editors, whose sentiments in hyperbolical phrase it
here trumpets forth, to the infinite wonder of those
who read its paragraphs, and the no slight gratification of
the Standard and Dublin Evening Mail, which quote
largely from its columns. The Pilot and Register, which
represent Mr. O'Connell and the Radical party with
equal fidelity, freedom, and ability, " have no such stuff in
their thoughts." They speak of Earl Grey's return to the
station, which no man ever filled with more just claims to
popular gratitude and affection, with evident satisfaction.
The General Order for firing " with effect" is received
in this country with various feelings. I have heard that it
is accompanied with private directions that, in case of a
collision with the people, the soldiers shall be brought for-
ward in alternate files, according to the practice called
" street-firing," which is said to have the merit of being
very elective. At all events the new tactique is a mani-
fest emanation from one skilled in the matte; and whose
principle it is and has been of old, that " there shall be no
mistake."

This order, coupled with Sir Henry Hardinge's ardent
profession of attachment and protection to the side-arms,
makes us hug ourselves at the prospect of being soon under
the shelter of a constitutional Government.

THY PROMISES ARE BROKEN.

Thy promises are broken,
Thy faith is cast aside,
The fatal words are spoken,—
Thou art another's bride !
Too soon thou hast forsaken
One, who loved thee more than life,
And, with constancy unshaken,
Would have cherished thee as wife.
But I will not reprove thee,
Thy falsehood I forgive,
For I cannot cease to love thee,

Until I cease to live.
We are for ever parted,—
And, oh ! may'st thou be gay,
Forget the stricken-hearted
Whom sorrow wastes away ;
May he, to whom is plighted
Thy vow—thou perjured one !
Love thee, as would the blighted
In happiness, have done.
But I will not reprove thee,
Thy falsehood I forgive,
For I cannot cease to love thee,
Until I cease to live.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Although the law which sentences a fellow-citizen to
imprisonment at the discretion of a creditor be manifestly bad,
yet it is in high favour with some very well-meaning men. In
the clauses of Sir J. Campbell's bill—a bill, by the bye, which,
even in its details, is as free from faults, either of commission
or of omission, as great legal experience and astuteness could
secure—the small trader sees the destruction of his business.

He and—as he would tell you with emphasis—he, and his
father before him, have done business in this particular manner,
and in no other can a living be got. He means that it has
long been the practice of tradesmen to give credit and take
the power of imprisonment as their only—because it is the
shortest, and therefore, they think, the best—protection, saving
the exercise of all inquiry into character, and all caution as to
sending out articles on credit. This credit system supported
by the barbarous power of arrest, is interwoven so closely with
all the dealings of the tradesman, that he does not look upon
it merely as a mail, a component, or even a principal part,
but be holds it to be the entire fabric of all his business, the
prop of his profit, and the palladium of prosperity—the living
substance of his mercantile transactions. He is, therefore,
naturally enough alarmed at any measure which admits preju-
dice to put in its imaginary fears. The very unstable condi-
tion, too, of the small tradesmen, at the same time that it ren-
ders them particularly adverse to any diminution of their pre-
sent legal power, furnishes also some excuse for their hostility,
for to this class a loss or bad debt is often ruinous. But surely
this is no argument for the continuance of a bad law ; it is
rather a reason why such traders, so exposed to ruin, should
desire the discontinuance of a state of things under which they
must now either run ruinous risk, or shut up their shops. If
Sir J. Campbell's bill were to pass, the demand for and ex-
pectation of an unwholesome credit would almost wholly cease
amongst the customers of a large class of tradesmen. Would
not this be a benefit—a real, a substantial good to them ?
Nor after a time, perhaps, would traders generally throughout
tire country be expected to give credit to any but those whom
it might be given to with safety. lam confident that Sir J.
Campbell's bill is calculated to confer a boon on tradesmen, as
well as to effect improved habits generally throughout the
whole range of society. Can any unprejudiced man deny the
evils of the existing law? Will any person say that the pre-
sent law of debtor and creditor, which puts into the power of
the latter to imprison the former at any moment he chooses,
on a mere affidavit of debt, does not require revision and re-
form ? Imprisonment for debt, taken in the whole extent of
its operation, is virtually a violation of that liberty of the sub-
ject which is eminently the birthright of Englishmen. The
law is as unwise as it is arbitrary and cruel. It gives to the
individual the power that of right only resides in the commu-
nity, and that which was designed for a protection to traders
is, in reality, no protection at all; for under no possible change
of system can fraud—the grossest and most barefaced fraud
and dishonesty—flourish in greater rankness than it does at
the present time. Some persons have fallen into the error of
supposing that it is proposed to abolish imprisonment in all
cases of debt. This however is a great mistake, as will be
_seen by a reference to Sir J. Campbell's bill, or to its Abstract,
which lately appeared in your paper.
The common law attorneys, who have a vested interest in
the continuance of abuses, and whom, as a body, I am preju-
diced and old-fashioned enough to think always selfish, grasp-
ing, and hard-hearted, and often dishonest, are busy in getting
up an opposition to the bill. I trust, however, that every
tradesman will think for himself, and not listen to interested
mis-statements, and the result will be his support of the mea-
sure in question ; a measure, be it remembered, that does not
abolish imprisonment for debt in any case of fraud, and that
compels the debtor to give up all his property for the payment
of his debts.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, _

MERCATOR.

THE AUTHOR OF " PAUL PRY."—" All who
delight in fun, drollery, and eccentricity," observes the Court
Journal, " will, we arc sure, hail with satisfaction the appear-
ance of the forthcoming a Sketches and Recollections,' by the
Author of ' Paul Pry.' Whoever, indeed, is at all acquainted
with the laughable delineations of existing life and manners
which have proceeded from the pen of this admired dramatist,
must have lamented that they have not hitherto been published
in a connected form. Mr. Poole must have met with very many
strange characters in the world, whose portraitures cannot fail
to afford the highest amusement. We arc much mistaken if
Matthews or Liston do not speedily discover that Mr. Poole's
volumes may be turned to rare account.
THE COLOSSEUM.—The numerous attractions of
this unrivalled exhibition have received an addition by some
very pretty scenery being added to the S wiss Cottage. It
consists of a view of a lake seen through the crevices of a
cavern, with a range of mountains in the distance. A town
on the bank of the lake fires salutes from time to time, and
the lake is covered with boats which sail in all directions, di-
minishing and increasing in size as they appear more or less
to the view. In the foreground is a watermill in operation,
with smoke issuing from the chimneys. The effect of the
whole has the reality of life, and is very creditable to the
artist and mechanist who have got up this allusion.

country, to be tried :—Does he live upon the labour of others,
