Copies of The 5,n Paper, containing Mr. Peel's speech, were
received at.our office, by Express, at six o'clock in the morning

Evening's Paper, for being able to lay before our readers the de-
tails of the important measure submitted by Mr. Peel on the

same evening to Parliament.
( From the Manchester Gazette of Saturday, March 7.)
CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.—Since the reflections which we have
made below were sent to press, we have been enabled, by the
unparalleled exertions of The Sun, to communicate to our
readers the proceedings on the introduction of the Bill, nearly
up to twelve o'clock. Mr. Peel makes the raising of the qualifi-
cation for voting in Ireland a part of his measures.
( From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday, March 7.)
By an extraordinary exertion of the very spirited Proprietors
of The Sun Newspaper, we were, at six o'clock last evening, put
in possession of a full report of Mr. Peel's speech (concluded only
at a quarter-past ten on Thursday night), on developing in the
House of Commons the prowsitions of Gov ernment for the set-
tlement of the Catholic Question.

(From the Stamford News of Friday, March 13.)
The efforts of The Sun Evening Newspaper to furnish early in-
formation, exceed any thing ever before attempted by the Press
of this or any other kingdom. On Friday last, at noon, we re-
ceived by Express to Stanford, 89 miles from the metropolis,
the whole of Mr. Peel's speech, which was not concluded until
ten au the previous night.

(From the Bristol Journal cf Saturday, March 7.)

MR. PEEL'S MEASURES FOR GRANTING (ALMOST) UNQUALIFIED

exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun Evening Paper, we re.

A report of the proceedings in Parliament, on Thursday night,
up to the hour of twelve, containing the whole of Mr. Peel's de-
tails of the measures intended to be proposed for Emancipa-
tion," reached Mansell and Co., 3l N, Union-street, yesterday,
by Express, in the Third Edition of The Sun, from whom we
received it at half-past eleven, A.M. These very creditable exer-
tions have enabled us to give Mr. Peel's speech at much length.
(From the Leicester Chronicle of Saturday, March 7.)
Mr. Peel began to address the House of Commons at six
o'clock on Thursday evening, on the Catholic Question, and con-
tinued speaking till after ten. By the activity of the Proprietors
of The Sun Newspaper, nearly seven columns of the Hon. Gen-
tleman's speech was inserted in a Third Edition of that Paper,
and f rwarded to different parts of the kingdom the same night
by express. We obtained a copy of the Paper at two o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and are thus enabled to furnish our readers
with an outline of Mr. Peel's speech in this week's Paper.
(From the Brighton Herald of Saturday, March 7.)
. .

As an instance of the spirited exertions of the Proprietors of
The Sun Newspaper, who are indefatigable in their endeavours
to supply the earliest possible information on all matters of mo-
ment, an Express arrived in this town yesterday, at a quarter
Mere eleven, A. at., being a Third Edition of that Journal, pub-
lished at half-past twelve the preceding night, and containing
seven columns of closely printed matter, consisting of the entire
of Mr. Peel's speech, preparatory to his motion, for the House
resolving itself into a Committee to consider the laws affecting
the Roman Catholics.

(From the Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday, March 13.)

EARLY NEWS.—The Sun Newspaper, containing the speech of
Mr. l'eel, which developes the measures for tranquillising the
United Kingdom, and which measures are sanctioned by his Ma-
jesty and his Cabinet Ministers, was received in the Newsroom,
iii this town, by Express, at six o'clock on Friday last. The
speech which was delive.rei on Thursday night, in the House of
Commons, London, was actually printed in Shrewsbury on the
next day, in a Second Edition of the Shrewsbury Chronicle, al-
though we are 150 miles distant from London. The spirit and
vigour of the Proprietors of The Sun Paper have been manifested
on many other occasions.

(From the Manchester Times of Saturday, March 7.)
Mr. Peel concluded his speech at a quarter-past ten o'clock,
two hours and a quarter after the departure of the mails. It is
reported in full in The Sun Newspaper, in which it occupies six
columns. The Paper was forwarded here by despatch all. the
way from London, and arrived about two hours after the mail,
although it could not have left London till four hours after the
mail started. Such a length of report, so expeditiously conveyed,
is unprecedented in the history of the Evening Press, and reflects
great credit on Mr. Yousc, the spirited Conductor of The Sun,
to whose efforts on former occasions the Press generally has
borne testimony.
(From the Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday, March 7.)
Never, within our recollection, was the .nxiety of the public
to obtain intelligence of any public event more decidedly mani-
fested thin on this occasion. The active Agent for that most
active Paper, The Sun, had notified to the public, that an ex-
press would arrive with the details of the measure of Catholic
relief; and, from twa o'clock in the day, Lord-street was
crowded with hundreds of people, anxiously awaiting the arrival
of the news. About seven o'clock, The Sun arrived by express,
and brought a full report of the speech of M. Peel (concluded
at half-past ten o'clock on the night before) which will be found
in our columns of this day.

EXTILAMIDINAILY.—We have great pleasure in being able to lay
before our readers the speech of Mr. Peel, delivered in the
House of Commons on
snande.it left the Hon. Gentleman speaking at a quarter-past
seven, up to which period he forwarded a report of his speech.
At a late hour last night we received an Express Edition of The
Sun Evening Paper, which left London afer midnight, contain-
i:,;; the whole of the speech ; and, as we are indebted to our Con-
t.....,porary for the principal part of what we this day present to
t.ur readers on the subject, we have great pleasure in giving our
meed of praise for such unparalleled exertions.
(From the Bri.dol Mirror of Saturday, March 7.)
THE CATHOLIC QuusTros.—For several days past this question
has wholly engrossed the public attein :on. This city has deeply
participated in the general anxiety req.weting the measures to be
proposed to Parliament. Groups of persons were yesterday seen
on our Exchange, anxiously waiting the arrival of an Express
with The Sun Newspaper. lo the almost unparalleled exertions
of the Proprietors of this Paper we are indebted for the earliest
information. On its arrival at our Commercial Booms, about
half-past three o'clock, a gentleman was requested to read Mr.
Peel's speech aloud to those around him. We do not recollect
to have seen such intense interest excited in this city for many
years.
(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday, March 7.)
The exertions of The Sun Newspaper are beyond all praise.
Our readers, and of course ourselves, are indebted to the un-
exampled energy of that Journal, for the full and satisfactory re-
port of Mr. Peel's speech, in developing the plan of Government
for the settlement of the Catholic Claims, contained in the Leeds
Mercury of this day. By the zeal and enterp.ise of that excel-
I,nt Paper, an Express was sent all the distance from London to
Leeds, which brought us the proceedings in Parliament at half..
past ten o'clock on Thursday night. The remainder of the De-
bate was brought to Leeds by our own express, and affords us
the happiness of giving the result of the proceedings in Parlia-
ment on that ever-to-be-remembered night.

(From the Leamington Spa Courier of Saturday, March 14.)
Amongst the extraordinary efforts which have been made by
Newspapers at various periods, perhaps none ever equalled that
made on the present occasion by The Sun Newspaper. The
speeches and the state of the poll of the Election for the Uni-
versity, announced at four o'clock on Thursday, were printed to
the extent of two columns in The Sun at half-past eight o'clock
at night, and the Papers containing the report were in Oxford at
six o'clock the next morning. This is an instance of despatch
never equalled —Oxford Journal. (We, in comin n with most
other Provincial Journalists, are highly indebted to the unparal-
leled exertions of the Proprietors of The Sun Newspaper for a
weekly supply of early information.)
( From the Staffbrdshire Advertiser of Saturday, March 7.)
Mr. Peel, on Thursday night, in the House of Commons, in-
troduced the measure of Catholic Concession, as finally arranged
by Government. Our exertions to obtain this most important
proposition in time for our present number have been successful.
We have the satisfaction of communicating the greater part, and
every important part of the flight Hon, Secretary's speech. It
would be unjust to withhold the fact that our ability to do so is
owing, in a great measure, to the unparalleled effort; of the pub.
lisher of The Sun Evening Paper, who himscif-passed througir
this county yesterday evening, in a chaise and four, wits his
Papers, containing Mr. Peel's speech, for Dublin. Our Express
met that of The Sun at Birmingham, and brought us a copy of
that Paper.
( From the Macclesfield Courier of Saturday, March 7.)

Tile SIN NEWSPAPER.—Such have been the extraordinary
exertions of The Sun Evening Newspaper. during the Oxford
election, tha, their Expresses have lett Oxford at half-past four
in the afternoon of each day, and the entire prOceed:ngs have
been printed in the Paper and published in London by half-past
eight the same evening. As it would take at least one hour to
set the intelligence received from Oxford in type, the Express
must have baen only three hours in accomplishing a journey of
fifty-four miles—at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. The Sun
hag for a king time far surpassed all the other Evening Papers in
procuring early intelligence—sparit,g TIO expance in accomplish-
ing its object—but this Oxford example of-diligence was neve:
equalled in the annals of Newspaper publication.
(From the Brighton Gazette of Thursday, March 12.)

`We have to notice another extraordinary and very commend-
able instance of exertion on the part of The Sun spaper,
which succeeding so !artily its activity in the case of the Oxfoid
Election, h.,,s produced here a gener.tl feeling of approbation.—
The whole of Mr. Pee;'s speech, repotted to the length of seven
columns, the delivery of which.did yqt cTiclude till after ten
o'clock on Thursday night, was printed in a Thii:d Edition of
that Paper, and se-it offby Express to Brighton and other places.
It was tus received here before eleven o'clock on Friday morn-
ing, anticipating the Morning Papers by four hours, and conse-
quently spreading thr ughout the town a general knowledge of
the details of the measure four hours sooner than would other-
wise have been the case. But for a delay in getting horses, the
Express would have reached Brighton at eight o'clock. It is im-
poiiil4 to act sutlicient justice to such astonishing exertion,
which is abSc,luttly precedent in the history of Newr
papers.
(From the Staffordshire Mercury of Saturday, March 7.'
. .

We have very frequently had to express our commendation
of the very extraordinary exertions made by the Publishers of
The Sun Evening Newspaper, to circulate the earliest intelli-
gence in cases where the public anxiet, for information has been
great. This pleasing, e.tity agaia devolves upon us. A report of
Mr. Peel's speech in the House of Commons, on Thursday even-
ing, (which was not concluded till after ten o'clock,) to the ex-
tent of more than seven columns, was published in a Third
Edition of The Sun before twelve o'clock the same night. The
Publishers immediately despatched expresses to every part of the
kingdom with copies of the Paper, and we, among others, were
thus put in possession of highly important and interesting in-
, fortnation by three o'clock yesterday, which through the post
would not have reach here until four o'clock to.day. This is an

instance of despatch that could not have emanated from any
Newspaper Office beside The Sun ; but setting this aside, twe
know no other Publishers who would incur the_ enormous ex-
pense of so many expresses--coaches and four—to all parts of the
kingdom: We hope the Public will more than ever patronize
The Sun. Its priority of intelligence over the other Papers, in
cases where expedition is required, has procured it subscribers in
this as in other vats of the kingdom.

(From the Liverpool illtion of Monday, March 0.)
EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCII.—Mr. Peel delivered his speech
on the Catholic Question last Thursday night, which occupied
him four hours, and which he finished about ten o'clock. In one
hour after, The Sun published the whole speech, seven columns,
and put a copy into the hands of Mr. Peel in thirty minutes after
he had eat down. One of the Proprietors of that truly spirited
Journal left London at ONE O'CLOCK (five hours after the Mail
had I<ft ), distributing that Paper in all directions down the
road, and arrived in Liverpool at seven o'clock, only one hour
after the arrival of the Liverpool Mail. The Express received
accommodations at every place through which it passed, On its
arrival at Liverpool, Mr. S. Perry, of the Citg of Dublin Steam-
acket Company, instantly sailed a packet, which he, in a most
handsome manner, had detained a whole day, with The Sun
Paper, fur the express accommodation of the Dublin Pre,s ; and
the whole population of Ireland are entirel: indebted to these
spirited parties for conveying this news, so important, twenty-
four hours earlier than they could have obtained it but for this
great undertaking. _ _ _

(From the Liverpool Albion of Monday, March 9.)
Mn. PEEL'S SPEECH.—Our News Rooms presented singular
scenes on Fri ay evening. At seven o'clock an Express arrived
from The Sun Newspaper Office, London, bringing copies of the
Third Edition of The Sun, which contained a copious report of
Mr. f'eel's speech, explanatory of the ministerial measures rela-
tive to the Roman Catholic Question. As soon as copies of the
Paper were placed in the News Rooms, gentlemen mounted the
tables, in different parts of the rooms, and read aloud, for the
information of the crowds by which they were surrounded, the
Home Secretary': elaborate speech. Never, on any former oc-
casion within our memory, was the public curiosity so highly
excited as it was in this town on Friday. Groups of people might
be seen in the public streets conversing on the subject of the ex-
pected new. all on the tiptoe of expectation for the arrival of
the Express from the metropolis, which, as we have said, reached
town at seven. Mr. Peel's speech was the all-engrossing topic of
conversation and debate during the remainder of the night. The
demand for the London and Liverpool Newspapers, on Saturday
morning, was unprecedentedly brisk.

SCOTLAND.
(From the Scotsman of Saturday, March 14.)
We omitted on Wednesday to acknowledge our obligations to
The Sun Newsp.iper, for the eflbrts it made to supply us with
the earliest intelligence as to the Catholic Relief Bill. By ex-
traordinary exertions it reported Mr. Peel's speech at great
length on the night when it was delivered, and sent it to Edin.
burgh by an express. It reached us at seven on Sunday morn-
ing, nearly twelve hours before we could have received it by the
Post

(From the Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday, March 10.)
Tuz SUN NEWSPAPER.—In common with others, we have to
express our acknowledgments to the spirited Proprietors of this
Journal for many facilities we experience in comiiling our owl,
as to Parliamentary intelligence. Some idea may be formed of
the expense they incur when we state that they sent a report of
Mr. Peel's speech, by express, to Edinburgh. It arrived about
two o'clock on Sunday morning, and was generally circulated in
the course of the day, a circumstance altogether unprecedented.
(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Monday, March 9.).
Tun SUN NEWSPAPER —The public are greatly indebted to the
meritorious and unprecedented exertions of the Proprietors of
The Sun Newspaper, who were at the trouble and expence of
seeding a report of Mr. Peel's speech, by Express, to Edinburgh.
It reached this city about two o'clock yesterday morning, and
was generally circulated in the course of the day. It is but jus-
tice to this spirited Journal to say that the Newspaper Press, as
well as the public at large, are greatly indebted to the astonishing
activity which it has exerted on this as on all other similar
emergencies.

(From the Glasgow Free Press of Wednesday, March IL)

SUN NEWSPAPRR.—We should be guilty of injustice were we
not to acknowledge our obligation to this enterprising Journal for
its unparalleled exertions in furnishing the country with early
intelligence. On Friday last, by dint of extraordinary exertions,
it despatched, at a late hour, the whole of Mr. Peel's speech on
the important question of Catholic Emancipation. That speech
was not concluded until ten o'clock, by twelve o'clock it was all
printed, to the extent of nearly eight columns, and despatched
by Express to almost every part of the United Kingdom!

(From the Berwick Advertiser of Friday, March 13 )
Suer NEWSPAPER.—We have often gratefully acknowledged
our obligations to this Journal. It uniformly, in a Second Edi-
tion, gives the London Gazette on the day of publication, the
proceedings in Parliament to within half an hour of the mail's
derarture, and every other intelligence interesting to the public
to the latest moment. Of late it has even outshone itself; it
communicated the result of the Oxford Election a whole day be-
fore its contemporaries, and last Saturday, at six o'clock p. m., a
Third Edition of Thursday arrived here, by Express, containing
seven closely priw ed columns of Mr. Peel's speech on the Ca-
tholic Question. We mention these facts as a proof of the libe-
rality and unprecedented exertions of the Proprietors of this ex-
cellent Journal.—Paitnarn qui meruit ferut.

(From the Caledonian Mercury of Monday, March 9.)
Toe sux NEwspApee.—The exertions made by this Journal
are unprecedented and astonishing. In aiThird or Express Edition
of its Thursday's publication, dated " Sun Office, quarter to
twelve," we have the whole of Mr. Peel's speech, which occu-
pied four hours and five minutes in the delivery, reported ad
longum, and occupying no less than seven columns in small
type. This Edition, which was forwarded right through by ex-
press, being of course too late to overtake either the mail or an)
other coach, reached Mr. Somervell, the agent for the Paper
here, at half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, and (with his
usual attention and promptitude), was sent by that gentleman
-early in the morning to the different offices and individuals for
whom it was intended. It is impossible to eulogise too highly
the exertions of this spirited Journal, which we trust the liberal
support of the public will repay, or to withhold our grateful ac-
knowledgments for the substantial benefits we have derived from
them.

IRELAND
(From the Waterford Mirror of Monday, March 9.)
The unprecedented exertions of The Sun, in a Third Edition,
and the singular industry of Mr. Barker, of Fleet-street, London,
our friendly and ever-attentive Agent, have enabled us to give
full details f the measures proposed fur Catholic Reber,

(From the Dublin Mercaltile Advertiser of Saturday, Mareh7.)
SUN NEWSPAPSTI—Owing to the most extraordinary and al.
most incredible exertions of The Sun, London Newspaper, and
to the promptness and activity of their Agent, Jr. Willmer, in
Liverpool, the speech of Mr. Peel, on proposing the Catholic
Question, which did not conclude until half-past ten o'clock on
Thursday night, was received by us, on Saturday last, 36 hours
after its delivery.

. -
(From the Dublin Morning Post of Monday, March 9.)
THE CATHOLIC QVESTION.—We were again, through the power-
ful exertions of The Sun (London Paper), and the active agency
of Mr. Witimer, of Liverpool, enabled to lay before our readers,
in a Second Edition, on Saturday, the substance of Mr. Peel's
propositions for the settlement of the Catholic Que,tion. When
it is known that Mr. Peel did not conclude his speech till a
quarter past ten on Thursday night, and that it had afterwards
to be printed by The Sun, the public will appreciate the exertions
.nade by all parties, to have a large portion of it published here
before two o'clock on Saturday.

(From the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday, March 7.)
As another evidence of the great anxiety evinced by the
speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman, we must in justice state,
that our Loudon Agent, Mr. Barker of Fleet-street, als:, for-
warded to us an express with The Sun Newspaper, containing
the foregoii:g speech.
(From the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday, March 7.)
SPEECH or, MR. PREL.—Owing to the most extraordinary ex-
ertions of The Sun (London Paper,) and to the promptitude and
activity of Mr. WiHiner, our agent in Liverpool, who run a
special express f, om London, the Dublin Evening Post is enabled
to transmit this night, to the most distant parts of Ireland, the
speech of the Home Secretary of State, on proposing the Ca-
tholic Question to the House of Commons. Mr. Peel com-
menced his speech at six o'clock on Thursday evening, and con-
cluded at half-past ten. The Sun forwarded its expresses at
midnight, and in six-and-thirty hours it arrived in Dublin. By
to-morrow morning at breakfast time, the readers of the Evening
Post, within one hundred miles of Dublin, will be reading a
speech which was only concluded at the hour of ten o'clock on
Thursday night ; and Loy dinner time, or a few hours after, it
will have reached the extremities of the Island. We believe
this celerity is without a parallel, either in the annals of the
Post Office or the Public Press.

(From the Dublin Warder of Saturday, March 7.)
To the extraordinary exertions of The Sun Ne spaper we are in-
debted forthe following report, which we copy from its Third Edi-
tion of Thursday night last ; forwarded to us, specially, by Mr.
E. Willmer, Newspaper Agent, Liverpool, per the City of Dublin
steam packet. It is due to the Conductors of the above-men-
tioned Journal to acknowledge their superiority in furnishing
the public with the latest intelligence upon every occasion of in-
terest.
(From the Dublin Tfarder of Wednesday, March 11.)
-•-• • • - -

Anxious, at this awful crisis of our political existence, to
make our exertions commensurate to the occasion, and to the
earliest and fullest information of our honoured patrons, the
Protestants of Ireland, we were enabled, from our special re-
sources, to lay before the Public, on Saturday last, Mr: Peel's
expose, several hours in advance of any other member of the
Dublin Press. In thirty.six hours after its despatch from Lon-
don, we had a late edition of The Sun Newspaper, through the
agency of Mr. R. \Viltmer, of Liverpool, who despatched the
Dublin Packet steamer, expressly for the purpose of the speedy
delivery of that Journal—and in one hour afterwards, the Irish
public were put in possession of the measures contemplated by
Government, on the sulject of the Roman Catholic question, al-
though occupying five columns—an exertion, perhaps, without
a parallel, except in the characteristic conduct of the Warder,
since the assailed rights of Protestants amt the peril of the Con.
stitution have become matter of paramount interest.
(From the Carlow Morning Post of Monday, March 16.)

THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL—For the arrival of this impor-
tant document, in convenient time for our impression—and also,
of the Irish Freeholders' Bill (which we will publish in our
next)—we are indebted to a Second Lilition of The Sun of Wed.
ne,day Evening. The singular industry and spirit—displayed by
the Proprietors and I onductors of this valuable Journal—have
been with us frequently and deservedly the subject of praise, and
for the rapidity with which successive Editions of that Paper,
at unprecedented expenditure, convey and disperse the most
interesting intelligence, the Public, as well as we, are largely
debtors.
