The Proof Impressions by M. Colnaghi, 23, Cockspur-
street.

We are informed that the Sheriffs. have sus-
suspended their officers, LEVY and NATHAN, who were
found " guilty," on Thursday, at Westn&inster, of a gross
assault upon a Mr. BRAGG.

The name of the young man drowned in the
Thames on Sunday morning was LUCAS, not SMITH, as
stated in our paper of yesterday. We are requested to
contradict the account of the party being intoxicated, en-
gaged in " honnetting," &e. at the time of the accident.
We are asittred that such was not the fact.—Morning
Paper.

Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the
Elephant and Castle, raucras.road, before T. STIRLING,
Esq., coroner, on the body of W. HADLEY, a fine young
man, aged 24, who was found drowned on Saturday, in the
Regent's Canal. The mother of the deceased stated that
her son, who was in the employ of Mr. Smrrtf, ironmonger,
of Wigmore-street, had been in a very unhappy state of
mind some time prior to his death. Witness had frequently
questioned him as to the cause, but could never obtain any
satisfactory explanation. On Wednesday night last he
came home unusually depressed, and sat for about half an
hour iu the presence of herself and his father, without
speaking; after which he went out, although very late, and
she never saw him again alive, and heard of his melancholy
end on Saturday afternoon. She was, however, afraid that
he had fallen into improper soeety, because a few days be-
fore he left home altogether, he complained of having lost
his watch and all his money ; but he would not say how
such had happened. The father of the young man, a brass-
founder, residing in the Pancras-road, gave similar evidence.
The Jury said there could be no doubt but that the young
man hal drowned himself, and returned a verdict of
" Insanity."

{ The Majority on the Second Reading of the Catholic
Relief Bill in the House of Lords decided its fate.
On that memorable occasion, as on several others, we
spared neither labour nor expense in !awarding, by
Express, the earliest intelligence of such an auspi-
cious event to all parts of England, Scotland, and
Ireland. That our exertions proved eminently suc-
cessful ►vill be seen by the following handsome testi-
monials copied from several of our Contemporaries,
whom we take this opportunity of thanking jor their
, kindness and liberality. J

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, .

Exchange Rooms, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, April 7.
SIR—We-are again indebted to the indefatigable exertions of
" The Sun" Newspaper for receiving thp details of Saturday's
Debate in'the House of Lords on the Catholic Relief Bill, full
24 hours before they would have been accessible to us in the ordi.
nary way. And when we consider that the Legislature has been
occupied it) discussing one of the most beneficent measures that
has been brought before it . since the Revolution, our acknow.
lodgments (observe I am speaking on behalf of the body of sub.,
scribers to this institution) are pre-emlnently due to the spirited
individual who conducts the Paper above-mentioned, for laying
before the public, itith such celerity, information So vastly iuiZl
p .rtant. .
Although the lAding news'-rooms and hotels of this town
were more or less supplied with the late editions of Saturday's
" Sun" at an early hour this morning, owing to the liberal ar-
rangements of the Proprietors of that Journal, yet so great was
the excitement of the public mind, on finding such a prepon-
derating majority in the Lords, in favour of the Catholic Relief
Bill, that the Editor of the Tyne Mereury deemed it expedient
to publish a Second Edition of his Paper in the course of the
day, with Saturday's Debate, and in doing which he handsomely
acknowledges the courtesy that so enabled him to gratify the
public.
speaking soberly, it may be safely averred that the Parlia-
mentary intelligence of this day has diffused the most lively sa-
ti.faction among all classes of his Majesty's subjects here, save
those who are tardy in getting rid of their prejudices. But these
good persons should bethink themselves, that we live in times
when the eyes of the world are upon us, and when we cannot
fall back upon the benighted ages of superstition and exclusion.
Truth and justice call for equal eligibility to all classes of the
community, with reference to their peculiar modes of thinking
upon religious subjects. Let us indulge the hope, then, that the
good people on either side will lend a willing hand, and thus the
auspicious work of national conciliation will be speedily ac-
coinplisiied.
I have the honour to remain, Sir, yours, &c.
A SUBSCRIBER.

Tea SUN.—" The Sun" Paper, containing the Debate on Thurs.
day night, in the House of Lords, was delivered at our office yes-
terday morning, in little more than six hours after the House ad-
journed :—Since" The Sun" has been under the able management
of Mr. YOUNG, its exertions have no parallel amongst its cotem-
poraries. The cost, however, must be enormous.

(From Drakard's Stamford News of Friday, April 10.)
THE SUN.—Really, the friends of liberal opinions are much in-
debted to " The Sun" Newspaper for the efforts made by its Pro-
prietors to give the earliest information. The division on the
second reading of the Catholic Relief Bill, which took place be-
tween eleven and twelve on Saturday night, was in Stamford
about eleven on Sunday morning, just as our good Protestant
neighbours had gone to church.

(From Felis. Farley's Bristol Journal of Saturday, April 4.)

NEWSPAPER DISPATCH.—We have again to express our great
obligations to the spirited Proprietors of " The Sun," by whose
extraordinary exertions we received yesterday afternoon, a Second
Edition of that Newspaper by Express, containing a very full and
evidently a very accurate report of the important Debate in the
House of Lords on Thursday night, on the second reading of the
Roman Catholic Relief Bill, up to the time of their Lordships' ad.
journment, half-past one o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning.
(From the I.;:artvick General Advertiser of Saturday, April 4.)
THE SUN—We feel a peculiar pleasure in acknowledging the
great obligations we are under to the spirited Proprietary of " The
Sun," not only on this but upon many other occasions. The De-
bate in the Lords, on the Catholic Relief Bill, was not a"journed
till past one Friday morning; it was printed in " The Sun," at
considerable length, sent down to Birmingham, by Express, and
brought to us a distance of more than 120 miles, by the up:Mail,
at seven the same evening. Labour and expence, which are in-
surmountable barriers to others, are but stimulants to their exer-
tions.-1 he same Paper was received at Birmingham about one
o'clock.

(From the Brighton Gazette of Thursday, April 9.)
The spirited Proprietors of "The Sun" Newspaper.have this
week manifested another instance of exertion and activity, which
must be re.nembered by the public to their advantage. On Sun-
day morning at eight o'clock we received an Express from "The
Sun-office," with copies of the Paper, containing the Debate of
the previous night, with the division in the Lords, reported to
the extent of IS columns. These were immediately distributed
in Brighton, and the neighbouring towns, and the intelligence
thus distributed at an unusually early hour. An enormous ex-
pense must be incurred by these exertions • for expresses were,
we understand, dispatched by " The Sun" exertions;
every night last
week to various parts of the kingdom.
(From the Birmingham Journal of Saturday, April 4.)

The Debate in the. House of Lords terminated at half-past one
o'clock yesterday morning ; on the motion of Lord Eldon, it was
adjourned. We would instance, with feelings of obligation, the
very surprising exertions made by " The Sun " Newspaper—as is
usual in that establishment—in this instance. The Express Ech-
Lion, containing the whole of the Debate to its adjournment,
reached our office yesterday, (through our agent, Mansell, Union-
street,) at twenty-five minutes to one o'clock, p. m. Thus the
reports of the later speeches were transcribed, printed, and in Bir-
mingham, in Eleven Hours! It is our intention to publish, in a
Second Edition, the conclusion of the Debate—with the division
on the second reading of the Constitution-breaking Bill.
(From the Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday, April 4.)
_

CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.—At half-past ten, last night, we re-
ceived, through Mr. Willmer, of Lord-street, " The Sun" of
Thursday evening, with a report (ten closely printed columns),
of the proceedings up to the adjournment of the House, at one
o'clock on Friday morning. The adjourned Debate, (of? Friday
evening) is advertised by Mr. Willmer, of Lord-street, to arrive
here by Express, in " The Sun" newspaper to-night. By this
spirited effort the Liverpool public will receive this important
intelligence, at least fourteen hours sooner than by any other
source.

(From the Liverpool Albion, of Monday, April 6.)

_ .
Tnit SUN NEWSPAPER.—The country is under another obliga-
tion to the spirited Proprietors of this Journal, for furnishing it
with the earliest intelligence of the important Debate which took
place, in the House of Lords on the night of Thursday, and on
Saturday, on the all engrossing Catholic question. An Express
from" The Sun Office" reached Mr. Willmer's, in Lord-str3et,
on Friday night, at half-past ten o'clock, bringing copies of a
Second Edition of " The Sun," which contained the speeches
delivered on the preceding night, although the House did not
rise until one o'clock on Friday morning ! Late as was the hour
when the Express arrived, the newsmen perambulated the
streets until nearly one o'clock, on Saturday morning, vending
copies of" The Sun." Another Express reached Mr. Willmer's
on Sunday night, at eight o'clock, bringing copies of a Third
Edition of that Journal, which contained a report of the adjourned
Debate on the preceding day, as well as the division on the Bill.
Such exertions to communicate early intelligence to the country
are truly wonderful, and they will, we have no doubt, be duly
appreciated by the public.

(From the Carlisle Journal of Saturday, April 11.)
Tim SUN NIMSPAPER.—We have frequently had occasion to
notice the extraordinary exertions of the Proprietors of this Paper
to convey early intelligence to the public; and we have now to
mention another instance of most extraordinary despatch on their
part. The Debate on the second reading of the Catholic Relief
Bill in the House of Lords did not close till nearly twelve o'clock
on Saturday night, the whole of the speeches in that day's Debate
were printed in .4 The Sun," despatched by express from London
early on Sunday morning, and reached this city, a distance of up_
wards of 300 miles, by halfpast eleven o'clock on Monday morn-
ing ! After some delay, owing to the difficulty of procuring
horses, the Express was again forwarded from this city to Edin
burgh and Glasgow—at the former of which places it arrived at
one o'clock on Tuesday morning, and at the latter (some delay
having taken place on the road which we cannot yet explain) at
eight o'clock. These exertions must be made at an enormous ex-
pense; but we have no doubt but the public will duly appreciate
them, and properly reward those who labour so strenuously for
their gratification. To the Proprietors of The Sun " the coun-
try newspapers owe a deep debt of gratitude.
(From the Manchester and Salford Adveriiser of April 11.)

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—The spirited Proprietors of
" The Sun" Evening Newspaper made another strenuous and
successful effort on Saturday night last, by forwarding " Suns "
express, containing the result of the second reading in the Lords of
the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, to every town of importance in the
United Kingdom. The express, for Manchester, departed from
" The Sun-office," at twelve o'clock, and at six o'clock the follow-
ing even ng, the Papers, containing the whole of the Debates of
the preceding night, with the majority and minority of the
House, were on sale at our Post-office. Were this Inc only in-
stance, on record, of extraordinary dispatch used by " The Sun,"
it would, no uoubt, excite the utmost astonishment, but we have
frequently, in justice to the conductors of that Paper, had occa-
sion to allmle to teats of a similar description. Mr. WIRD°
YOFNG, to whose indefatigable management of that Paper the
public are mainly indebted for this surprising priority of intelli-
gence, travelled post from London to Liverpool, in sixteen hours,
on Sunday last bearing Papers for all parts of Ireland. So great
was the excitement in Liverpool to learn the result of the Debate
on the "all absorbing question," that the news-venders' offices,
on the arrival of the express, were besieged by applicants, who
displayed the utmost anxiety to obtain copies of "The Sun," by
offering !Is. (3d. each, to receive them immediately.

SCOTLAND.
(From the Inverness Courier of Wednesday, April 8.)
We are indebted to a Third Edition of " The Sun"—a Paper
which makes greater exertions to supply the country with the
latest information on public matters than all other Journals put
together.

(From the Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday, April 7.)
By the spirited exertions of " The Sun " New,paper, who
despatched an Express with a Second Edition of their Paper, con-
taining the whole of the debate, we are enabled to give the divi-
sion on this important question.

(From the Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday, April 7.)
We are again indebted to the very spirited exertions of the
Proprietors of" The Sun,, Newspaper for the division on this im-
portant question. Soon after the close of the discussion they dis-
patched an Express with a Second Edition of " The Sun" con-
taining the whole of Saturday's Debate, which reached this city
at half-past twelve o'clock last night.

(From the Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday, April 14.)
The Sun" Newspaper again made one of those public-spirited
etlbrts, on the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, for
which it has been so conspicuous under its present Management.
An express for Edinburgh left London at four o'clock on Satur-
day morning, with Papers containing a full report of the proceed-
Mill in the House of Lords on the previous night up to the divi-
