THE BUDGET.

We have to express our obligation to our new agent.,
Messrs. Johnston and Co., Eden quay, Dublin, for forward-
us an extraordinary edition of The Sun of Friday evening,
which reached us on Monday morning, containing the entire
of Sir Robert Peel's financial statement. extending over nine
columns, and published at eight o'clock on the same even-
' ing which it was delivered. While we feel grateful to
Messrs. Johnston, we cannot withhold our meed of appro-
bation from our London Contemporary for his extraordi-
nary effort, which reflects so much credit upon the metro.

NEWSPAPER DISPATCII.-We have to acknowledge the
courtesy and great exertions made by the proprietor of The
Sun, with respect to Sir Robert Peel's financial statement of
Friday. In his paper of that evening an extraordinary ex-
press edition contained a report of about eight columns'
length, with the whole of the Premier's scheme, which we
received in due course of post on Monday morning. All
this vast mass of matter must have been spoken, reported
in short-hand, extended in ordinary writing, set up in types,
worked off by the printing machine, and dispatched by the
railway train, in less than four hours! It took us as much
time to alai idge it for our columns!—lnverness Courier.
Through the active agency of Messrs. Mansell, of Bir
rningham, we received by mail here this morning a copy of
the express edition of last might's Sun, by which means we
are enabled to lay before our readers the heads of Sir Robert
l'eel's financial statement.—Manchester Guardian, Feb. 15

By an extraordinary edition of The Sun, for which we are
indebted to our indefatigable agent, Mr. Mansell, jun., of Bir-
mingham, we are enabled to give the following summary of
Sir Robert Peel'a explanation of the budget.— Worcester
Herald, Feb. 15.

Tae SURPLICE QUESTION.—Yesterday the Rev.
Allasten Burgh, Vicar of the united parishes of St. Lawrence Jewry
and St. Mary Magdalene, Milk-street, in the City, forwarded a com-
munication to the deputation appointed to wait upon him with re-
ference to the " innovations" in the service of the church, to which
they objected in vestry last Thursday. The resolutions condemna-
tory" of the course adopted by the Vicar in preaching in his surplice,
reading the prayer for the church militant, and the offertory eon-
teneta —a practice which he had followed since the charge of his
diecesan in 1842—were of a very mild and conciliatory character;
but the Rev. Gentleman, in a letter addressed to the deputation, and
read to them yesterday morning, together with a communication
from the Bishop of London to him, declared his determination still to
adhere to the practice, notwithstanding the intimation made to him
that such a course was contrary to the wishes of his parishioners.
DKATII OF CAPTAIN BELL, R.N.—With much re-
gret we announce the death of Captain Bell, of her Majesty's ship
Hazard. Most of cur readers are aware that this gentleman, on ac-
count of indisposition, was advised, to remain in Auckland while the
