THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The news of the defeat of
Ministers on Lord Lyndhurst's amendment reached this town
at a very early hour on Wednesday morning last, by an express
from The Sun newspaper office. In order to convey this im-
portant intelligence as quickly as possible through the empire,
Mr. Young, the spirited Conductor of that journal, himself tra-
velled in a carriage and four, leaving copies of The Sun, with
a full report of the debate, at every town through which he
passed. Such enterprise, such anxiety to give a priority of in-
telligence, is deserving of liberal encouragement from the public,
and we have no doubt that it will be afforded in an increased
circulation.

(From the Glasgow Herald, Monday, May 14 )

Although we happen not to have been particularly benefited
by it, we are bound to notice the very particular attention that
has been paid to this community by the Proprietor of The Sun
newspaper, Mr. M. Young. The result of the division in the
House of Peers on Monday evening at twelve o'clock, with the
whole previous proceedings, reached Mr. Atkinson by four
o'clock on Wednesday -v^n;sig, and was immediately trans-
mitted by him to the different reading-rooms and newspaper
offices, and the express edition of that paper of Thursda;.,
containing the proceedings of the House of Commons up to
two o'clock on Friday morning, with the large majority in
favour of Lord Grey's Administration, reached Mr. Atkinson
by eight o'clock on Saturday, and was transmitted immediately
by him as above. We trust the Proprietors of The Sun will be
amply remunerated for their spirited exertions.

!From the Dundee idvertiser, Thursday May 10.:,

By an express edition of The Sun of Monday, we have re-
ceived a report of the proceedings in the House of Lords on
the evening of that day ; from which we learn, that Ministers
have been defeated, on a motion relative to the disfranchise-
ment clause of the Reform Bill,—an amendment moved by
Lord Lyndhurst, to postpone the consideration of that clause,
having been carried by a majority of 35, in a House of 267
Members. It is but justice to the public spirited Proprietors
of The Sun to state, that, on the occurrence of important
events, they invariable make extraordinary efforts, besides
putting themselves to great expense, to dittlise the intelligence
of them over the country. On the present occasion, extreme
despatch must have hecn used, both in reporting and printing,
as well as in travelling. The report comes down till the ad-
journment of the House at midnight ; and thus only forty-
eight hours elapsed from that period till the paper arrived in
Dundee.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We are again indebted to the
exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun newspaper, for convey.
ing to us the intelligence of the defeat of Ministers on Monday,
twenty-four hours earlier than we could have had it by the usual
conveyance. Just as the north mails were starting from this
city on Wednesday morning, an express arrived on horseback,
with copies of The Sum containing the whole of Monday
night's debate. Copies of the paper were forwarded to all parts
of Scotland, and thus will the intelligence have been carried
to the farthest corner of the kingdom in an almost incredibly
short period of time. The people of the North can never suf.
ficiently testify the gratitude they owe to Mr. Young for his
extraordinary exertions. We perceive by the Edinburgh
papers that Mr. Young reached that city (having taken the road
by Newcastle about 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. At
Glasgow, the papers were received by the mail, and the intelli-
gence produced a strong sensation.

;From the Kelso Mail, Thursday, May 10.)

We are enabled by the truly extraordinary exertions of the
Proprietors of The Sun, not cnly to inform our readers of the
important facts above stated, but also to lay before them a full
report of the debate which led to such mighty, and at least at so
early a period, unexpected results. This requires a great
exertion, comparatively speaking, on our part also; for the
Mail being nearly ready for the press when ne received, by
way of Coldstream, the third edition of the London paper
above-mentioned, we must consequently undo what was done,
and reconstruct our columns, in a very hurried manner. We
state this in order to account for the postponement of many
articles, and the almost total exclusion of all editorial remarks.
The Sun express left London early on Tuesday morning, and
passed through Coldstream about mid-day yesterday. The
only speculation which the paper contains is, that " it seemed
to be the opinion of several Peers in the House, that an Ex-
traordinary Gazette, containing a list of sixty new Peers, would
be published on 'Wednesday (yesterday.)"

(From the Leeds Mercury, Saturday, May 12..)
THE SUN NEWSPAPER—By the extraordinary ex.
ertions of this public-spirited journal, the people of all the coun-
ties of England in the great route from south to north, were
put in possession of the highly interesting though disastrous
proceedings of Monday night on the Reform Bill many hours
earlier than they could otherwise have obtained it; and so intent
was Mr. Young, the Proprietor of that paper, upon the proper
discharge of the mission, that he undertook it himself and per-
formed the journey in a chaise and four with a rapidity that
has never been exceeded. Though the division in the Lords did
not take place till after midnight on Monday, and the papers
were not ready till one o'clock in the morning of Tuesday, Mr.
Young arrived at the Mercury Office, in Leeds, a distance of
nearly 200 miles, by six o'clock the same afternoon, having de-
spatched branch messengers east and west to places of import-
ance on the whole line of communication. These exertions to
aftbrd information at the earliest possible period on a subject
vitally important to the community will, we have no doubt, be
rewarded with that increased patronage for this already popular
journal to which, from its talent and principles, as well as from
its unprecedented exertions, it is entitled.

(From the Wakfield Journal of Friday, May 11.)

" THE SUN," THE MOST ACTIVE AND USEFUL

PAPER WE HAVE AT PRESENT.

At a meeting of the Wakefield Reform Committee, it was
unanimously resolved,

" That The Sun has displayed the meat patriotic and ener-
getic attention to the interest of the country during the delibe-
rations of Parliament on the great question of Reform, and has
surprised and delighted us by the extraordinary despatch with
which the expresses on various occasion► have arrived.
" That as an express of any important occurrence in the
House of Lords is now of the greatest importance and benefit
to the large towns interested in the scheme of Parliamentary
Reform, it appears highly desirable that the laudable efforts of
The Sun should be encouraged, and it is hoped that the large
towns hitherto benefited by the exertions of The Sun, will
follow the example of Wakefield.

" That the thanks and gratitude of the nation are due to the
Proprietors of The Sun, and that this meeting feels the great
obligations it is under to them—obligations which it may duly
appreciate, but cannot adequately reward.
" J. HOLDSWORTH, High Constable, Chairman.
" ROWLAND HURaiT, Secretary."

(From the Derbyshire Courier, Saturday, May 12.)
THE SUN.—About half-past one o'clock on Tuesday af.
ternoon, we received an express copy of The Sun newspaper,
containing a full report of the Parliamentary debate of the
preceding evening. The express left London about one on
Tuesday morning, and performed its journey to Chesterfield
(on its way to the north) with that expedition which has suc-
cessfully gratified the public curiosity on very many important
occasions. Talk of your locomotive engines or railroads ! the
best speed, after all, is that of a chaise and four with our spi-
rited friend, Murdo Young, to make the "tits" dash along the
road at the rate of 13 or 11 miles an hour !---We are indebted to
a second express for enabling us to lay the result of the debate
on Lord Ebrington's motion before our readers. Our acknow-
ledgments are made elsewhere.

(From the same.)
An express from London, with The Sum newspaper, con.
taining the whole debate on Lord Ebrington's motion for an
address to the King, arrived in Chesterfield at half-past four

o'clock yesterday afternoon. The new rooms were pofitel:
upplied by the gentleman who brought the papers, and we ar.
indebted to the considerate politeness of Mr. Young for
copy,—by means of which we are enabled to lay before ou
readers the result of the debate. The report in The Sun occL.
tiles eleven columns of small type! we necessarily confine our.
selves to a sketch of the all-important proceedings referred to.

(From the Portsmouth Herald, Nay 13.)

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY I2.—The news of the defeat ot
Ministers on Monday last, was received here with the utmos,
consternation. To the editor of The Sun we were indebtei.
for the earliest information of this unexpected event, as also
for the account of the result of Lord Ehrington's motion,
which was received here by express as early as twelve o'clock
on Tuesday.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, MAY P2.—The disas-
trous intelligence of the defeat of Ministers on the division on
Monday night, was forwarded to this town on Tuesday eve-
ning last, by the patriotic editor of The Sun newspaper, and
created one universal feeling of surprise and regret.

(From the Liverpool Albion, Monday, May 14.)

EARLY INTELLIGENCE.—The Sun, on two occasions
during the past week, brought important intelligence by ex-
press. It was by the spirited conductors of that newspaper,
that the people of Liverpool were made acquainted, as early as
hill-past six o'clock on Tuesday evening, of the division on
Lord Lyndhurst's amendment, which led to th• resignation of
the Ministry. To the same parties they were indebted, at nine
o'clock on Friday night, for a report of the debate on Lord
Ebrington's resolutions. Both The Sun expresses were received
by Mr. Arnold, news-agent, Pest-office-place.

(From the Western Times (Exeter) of Saturday, May P 2.)
The news of Olefin-turn:Se division in the Lords arrived at
our office at half-past ten on Tuesday night express, through
the patriotic exe:tions of the Proprietor of The Sun. We fita-
tioned one of the junior devils outside the offic., with a copy of
that paper, and groups of Reformers were engaged throughout
the day in conning its contents. We regret that their Lord.
ships and the Right Rev. Bench had not an opportunity of
hearing the remarks that fell from their lips. Our readers are
indebted to the extraordinary exertions of The Sun for this in.
formation. Our readers may see The Sun express Paper at our
office.
