4, THE SUN" EXTRAORDINARY
EXPRESSES.

THE BUDGET.

The Sun newspaper of Friday, with a prodigious and
most triumphant exertion, has contrived to give ten
columns of the Parliamentary debates of the same even-
iny ! Such an exhibition of skill and enterprise reflects
high honour on the London press,
.and should not pass
unnoticed by those who appreciate in a right spirit the
amazing effects of art and zeal and emulation in the
nineteenth century. Amongst the miracles of art or
science, none are more strikingly characteristic of the
age, or more important in their results, than those con-
nected with the Press. —Jersey Times.
We feel indebted to the conductors of 77ze Sun news-
paper for a copy of the evening edition of that journal of
Friday, containing more than nine columns of the par-
liamentary proceedings of the same evening ! This is
extraordinary dispatch indeed.—Mayo Cana:futon.
On Saturday we received, by the Sabrina, Captain
Parker. the London journals of the preceeding day, 20
hours before the ordinary course of delivery. Last
evening, through the exertions of our enterprising
agents, Messrs. Johnston and Co., of Dublin, we re-
ceived, by extraordinary express, The Sun of Friday, con-
taining a full report of Sir Robert Peel's speech. It ar-
rived in twenty and a half hours.—Cork Examiner.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.—We were enabled to
publish, in the entire of our town edition, on Saturday,
a very full outline of Sir Robert Peel's Financial State
went on the previous evening. It was copied from The
Sun, which had been expressed by Mr. Johnston, of
Eden-quay.—Dublin Evening Post.

SPIRITS.—The accounts that were ordered by the
House of Commons, on Monday night, to be forthwith prepared, on
motion of Mr. Frederick Hodgson, were accounts of the total number
of gallons of proof spirits distilled in England, Scotland, and Ireland
respectively ; distinguishing the quantities produced from malt and
unmalted grain, or from any other ingredient ; showing also the total
quantity of each sort, in the United Kingdom, for the year ending the
sth day of January, 1845. Secondly—An account of the number of
gallons of proof spirits, distinguishing the sorts, on which duty was
paid for home consumption in each of the three kingdoms, with the
rate per gallon, and the amount of such duty ; also, the total number
of gallons and duty in the United Kingdom, for the year ending Jan.
5, 1845. Thirdly—An account, showing, under separate heads, the
number of gallons of proof spirits (distinguishing the materials from
which made) imported into each kingdom from each of the others
respectively, and including, in the cases of England and Scotland,
those conveyed either by land or by sea ; stating also the rate of duty
per gallon, and the total amount thereof in each case, and what por-
tion of such duty was paid on removal of the spirits ftom bond, and
what after their arrival at the place of destination, for the year end-
ing January 5, 1845. Fourthly—An account of the total number of
gallons of proof spirits permitted out from distillers' stocks in Eng-
land, and the total number of gallons proof of British brandy and
spirits of wine permitted out from rectifiers' stocks in England, for
the year ending the sth day of January, 1845 ; also the stocks re-
maining in the hands of English distillers on. the sth day of January,
1845. These several accounts are intended as continuations of those
ordered and prepared in the last session of Parliament.
BONE CRUSHING. —lt appears that in certain
unions the paupers—compelled by the local board—crush bones. Sir
James Graham objects to the practice; Lord Ebrington defends it;
Wakley, with indignation, denounces it. Now, we have muchad-
miration of Mr. Wakley. He gives to things their proper names.
He calls a rogue a rogue, and a fool a fool ; we like his out-speaking
(whatever Mr. Roebuck, that bit of blighted notoriety, may think of
it). Nevertheless we cannot side with Mr. Wakley in this matter of
bones. We think their is a fitness of purpose—a felicity of idea—in
compelling paupers to crush bones. Their bones are crushed, and
wherefore should they not crush the bones of other things ?—Punch.
MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL WEST INDIA ASSO-
CIATION.—This body met to-day, upon the subject of the forthcoming
reduction of the duties upon sugar ; and it was anticipated by some
of the parties present at the meeting, especially those connected with
the refining trade, that they could be induced to petition Parliament
in favoer of a reduction of the duty upon molasses to 3s. per cwt. A
great disinclination, however, appeared to be entertained to interfere
with the Government measures, which are looked upon as most
favourable to the West Indian Planters, lest anything of an obnoxious
character should creep into the mind of the Premier. Otherwise, the
West Indian party have no objection to such a reduction of colonial
molasses.—Manchester Guardian.

INFLUENZA AMONGST HORSES.—An epidemic has
been for the last two weeks very prevalent amongst horses. The
leading -symptoms of the disorder arc swelling and inflammation of
the throat, discharge from the mucous membrane of the nose, and
lassitude and want of -strength. Messrs. Piekford, the celebrated
carriers, have upwards of one hundred horses now suffering from
this complaint ; and it is very prevalent and fatal amongst dray-
horses, one brewer at Westminster having lost three out of
eighteen that were attacked. The Paddington Omnibus Convey-
ance Company have been great sufferers, having lost nearly fifty
horses within the last month, and had no loss than 105 laid up at
one time.
THE LORD MAYOR AND THE DISTRESSED NEEDLE-
; but
wostm—A ball being about to be given for the distressed needle-
women, Lord Mayor Gibbs was applied to for the usual permission to
exhibit the printed annottneeme. ts in front of the Mansion-house.

His Excellency Sarim Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador,
arrived at MarseilleS; on his way to London, with a suite of
fifteen persons, on the 12th, and occupied apartments which
had been prepared for him at the Hotel d'Orient.
The Helvetic says that the missionary societies of Geneva,
Lausanne, and Neufchatel have addressed petitions to the
President of the French Council of Ministers on the disas-
trous position of Protestantism in the island of Otaheite, in
consequence of the French occupation of the island. The
Tiofistant societies of German- SwiUerland, and a large
part of Germany itself, have followed the example of these
societies.

The Revue de Paris announces that Count Mole bad been
slightly indisposed during several days. On Monday the
King sent to inquire after the health of the Count, who was
sufficiently recovered to open his salons to his friends on
Tuesday night.
The sudden variations of temperature at Paris during some
days past have exercised a most unfavourable influence over
the health of the inhabitants. The hospitals were never
before known to be so full.
On Sunday morning a man was found frozen to death on
the road between Paris and St. Denis. He was known to
have been somewhat overcome with liquor in the evening,
and probably had fallen or laid himself down to sleep. His
body was as stiff as if it were made of wood.
The Spectateur de Dijon states that, on the 6th, a pheno-
menon took place at Flavigny, such as has not been seen
since the famous Christmas night twenty-four years back.
The thunder was heard to roll loudly, and flashes of light-
ning were seen, in the midst of a heavy fall of snow.
The Abbe Souchet was tried by the Court of Assizes of
Caen on the 15th, on a charge of having, in a pamphlet, en-
titled " Advertissement aux Catholiques sur les dangers qui
les menacent dans la personne de leurs enfans," sought to
excite hatred and contempt in the public mind against a cer-
tain class of persons, and, in particular, the members of the
University. He was found guilty, and sentenced to fifteen
days' imprisonment and 100 f. fine, with confiscation of the
pamphlet.
The Minister of the Interior has decided that, in future,
no stage performances by companies of children shall be per-
mitted either in Paris or the departments. The Gazette de
Tribunaux states that this decision has been caused chiefly
by the disclosures of an infamous nature, which took place
in a recent prosecution relative to one of the theatres of juve-
nile performers in Paris.
