THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESS.

(From the Bolton Chronicle of Saturday.)

ELECTION OF TILE SPEAKER.-Our report of the debate i,
abridged from The Sun, copies of which paper were brought
to Manchester yesterday by Mr. Young, the Editor and Pro-
prietor. The division took place about a quarter past six
o'clock on Thursday evening ; Mr. Young left London at
eight o'clock, and arrived at Manchester ten minutes before one,
yesterday, though considerably impeded by a violent snow-storm
He immediately proceeded to Liverpool by the railway in
carriage, the conductor of which engaged to take him in less
than an hour. Too much praise cannot be given to this spi-
rited gentleman for the expedition with which he has con-
veyed this important news'. The public must be aware that
to give a full report of so late a debate as this, and to publish
in Bolton on Saturday morning a list of 626 names, which
were not given in London before seven o'clock on Friday
morning, is a source of much expense and anxiety to us. But
whatever may be the trouble, we are determined to give our
readers the latest possible intelligence. We have made such
arrangements that every Express which arrives in Manchester
during the present Session of Parliament will be immediately
forwarded to us.
(From the Nottingham Journal of Friday.)

We received a full report of the above debate, in an express
edition of the Sun newspaper, about seven o'clock this morn-
ing, nearly three hours before the arrival of the London mail.
The extraordinary exertions which the proprietors of that
paper have always made to convey the earliest information on
important subjects, deserve, and will no doubt ensure for it,
an increased share of public patronage.

ELECTION OF SPEAKER TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. —A

report of the debate on the election of Speaker, with the
division announcing the triumphant result, occupying about
seven columns of matter, was given on Thursday evening in
The Sun evening paper, copies of which arrived by express at
Mr. C. H. Lewis's shop, a few minutes before one o'clock
yesterday. The journey from London to Manchester was ac-
complished in seventeen hours, although the messenger had to
encounter a severe storm on the road. For so great an effort,
accomplished at a vast expense, the spirited proprietor of
The Sun is entitled not only to the thanks, but the cordial
support of the public generally. The news brought by the
express conveyed doleful tidings to the Tories, whose sanguine
hopes were at once laid, prostrate. No doubt the ringers had
been summoned to celebrate another conservative victory, by a
merry peal from the Collegiate church bells. But, sad mis-
hap ! the cheering sounds were not heard ; and so panic-
stricken were the sorry Tory clique, that scarcely one of them
could be seen in the streets throughout the afternoon. We
refer to our sporting correspondent's letter for the progress of
the betting on this event: from which it will be seen that the
sanguine speculators on the Conservative side have made a
bad business of it.

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—WC feel called up-on to ac-
knowledge the obligation we are under to the spirited conduc-
tors of The Sun newspaper. We are indebted to an express
edition of that paper for a full report of the debate and divi-
sion on the election of Speaker, which reached us in less than
23 hours after the close of the proceedings.
