made the voyage from Bombay in thirty days, includ-
ing delays.

Various correspondents, as -our readers will per-
ceive, have transmitted to us accounts of the hole and
corner proceedings which have been set on foot in
different parts of the country. We think it a
duty to give all the publicity in our power to
these Tory tricks, because we are sure the more
they are known, the more ridiculeus they must appear.
Is it not enough to make a stoic split his sides with
laughter to see the select vestrymen of Bristol, and the
patriotic corporators of Lichfield, playing off their
antics to avert the Ministerial crisis ?—as if their puny
efforts could by possibility be supposed to have the least
influence in opposition to the voice of the nation speaking
through its representatives ? Why Dame PARTING-
TON'S attack upon the Atlantic Ocean was a judicious
exploit compared to this ludicrous exhibition of impo-
tent extravagance. 'We can hardly muster gravity
enough to advert to the tenor of these addresses, (as
the poor creatures who are for the most part either
inveigled or intimidated into signing the precious docu-
ments are instructed to call them); but, with as such
adjustment of our risible muscles as we can manage,
we may say that the " Danger of the Church" is the
prominent topic. It is hoped, no doubt, that this
senseless cry may work upon the religious feelings of
the people ; but the people arc now too enlightened
to be so easily deceived. They are too sharp-
sighted not to see the absurdity of the doc-
trine so injudiciously broached of late, that it is
impossible for a Church to be too rich, and
that were the wealth of the Irish Church ten times as
great as it is, it would still be inadequate to its wants.
Such notions must shock the understanding of the
simplest rustic in the kingdom. The Portsmouth
farrago is somewhat more comical than most of the
others that we have seen. It prays Sir ROBERT to
defend the Church from the " Pagan on the one
hand, and the Infidel on the other !" It states also
with equal truth, that the opposition to the Premier
is " based upon no consideration of the merits of the
measures proposed" by him. So the Irish Tithe Bill
is not a measure proposed by him ! !

IRISH CHURCH-SUN EXPRESS.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

EDINBURGH, SUNDAY, APRIL s.—The horn of the Curricle
Mail for London was sounding at half-past nine this morning
on the North Bridge, when the The Sun Express came. It
is the best hit yet made here—all the people had it before they-
went to church. What an event !—the greatest anxiety pre-
vailed.

We received an express edition of The Sun Newspaper at
ten o'clock on Friday morning, announcing the division on the
Irish Church question. The House of Commons broke up
at half past three o'clock in the morning, consequently our
fellow citizens were acquainted with the important decision in
about six hours and a half atter it was made known, which is
eight hours sooner than we could have received it by the
ordinary conveyance. This is unprecedented exertion on the
part of the conductors of The Sun, for which the country is
much indebted. In this city the news, which was spread by
means of a printed hand-bill, was received with unfeigned
delight ; the bells of St. Alphage rang a merry peal ; the in-
habitants congratulated each other on the prospect of getting
quit of the Ministry : in fact we never, save when the Reform
Bill passed the Legislature, observed the tide of popular
opinion to run so high as on this occasion.—Kentish Chronicle
(Canterbury), April 7.

SUN EXPRESS.—We have again to notice the unwearied ex-
ertions of the proprietor of The Sun Newspaper, which has
now become so proverbial for conveying the earliest intelli-
gence. Messrs. Smith and Co., news agents, expected an
express on Saturday, but as it did not arrive at a late hour that
evening, they kindly made arrangements in order that we
might receive a copy at whatever time the express should
arrive, which it did six hours before the London mail. On
the present, as well as on former occasions, neither trouble nor
expense has been spared in order that all parts of the country
might profit from the early intelligence, and it is gratifying to
know, that these exertions are not in vain, as is proved by the
rapidly increasing circulation of that Newspaper.—Edinburgh
Evening Courant, April 4.

THE LONDON SUN.—An edition of this Paper, with full re-
ports of Thursday evening's debate on Lord John Russell's
motion, and the subsequent division, was received here by the
agent, Mr. M'Phun, four hours before the arrival of the mail
yesterday. The exertions of the spirited proprietors of this
Journal In this way is really astonishing, and we hope they will
be rewarded by an ample share of public patronage.—Glasgow
Herald, April 6.
Express editions of The Sun Newspaper have just been
delivered ( Saturday Morning, half-past nine) in Preston,
through the agency of Mr. Wilmer, of Liverpool, and also by
way of Manch9ster, giving the division of the House of Com-
mons on Lord John Russell's motion respecting the Revenues
of the Irish Church.—Preston Chronicle, April 4.
We have to acknowledge the courtesy of the proprietor of
The Sun, in forwarding us an Express copy of that paper,
containing the Division on the debate, for which we are much
indebted.—North Wales Chronicle (Bangor), April 4.

We have again the pleasure to acknowledge our obligations
to the spirited proprietor of The Sun, by whose express we re-
ceived, at ten o'clock last night, the conclusion of the debate on
Lord John Russell's motion.—Sheuield Independent, April 4.
At two o'clock this morning, as we were going to press, we
received, through the wonted politeness of Mr. Williner, an
express edition of The Sun, containing the whole debate up
to half-past three on Friday morning. Too much praise cannot
be given to the unprecedented exertions of Mr. Young, the
spirited and indefatigable proprietor of The Sun.—Liverpool
Journal, April 4.

SUN EXPRESSES.-The unwearied exertions of the pro-
prietors of The Sun newspaper to afford the earliest intelli-
gence on all extraordinary occasions are beyond praise. At
no time since the passing of the Reform Bill has the public
mind evinced so much anxiety as during the past week, and
Messrs. Smith and Co., St. Andrew-square, having expected
an extraordinary express on Saturday last, with the result of
Lord John Russell's motion, it was looked forward to with
great anxiety during the whole of that day, and although it
did not arrive in time to be useful to us, the agents kindly
made arrangements to furnish us with it as soon as it came
forward, which it did a good many hours before the regular
mail. Scotland has frequently experienced the advantages of
these extraordinary exertions, and we are glad to learn that
they are duly appreciated by an extensive circulation of Toe
Sun throughout this part of the United Kingdom.—Caledo-
nian Mercury.
