HE TRUE SUN is published daily, at Four o'clock, and contains a full report of the early proceedings in the House of Commons on the same day. Office, 366, Strand. Testimonies to the Character of the True Sun.

(From Cobbett's Magazine).-We sincerely hope that this honest paper will not be suffered to become one of the “brave, alas! in vain." The True Sun is ably written. We seldom read anything in it that we can object to. If objection ever be, motive in the writer is, at all events, never questioned by the reader. There is no affeciation to be seen in it, nor any half-hidden falsehoods giving rise to suspicion.

(From the Standard).—The Examiner has called our attention to an evening journal, (the True Sun), which, with considerable ability, gives expression to the feelings and opinions of the ultra-liberal or republican

to be perfectly honest men, and we know that they are men of talent.

On the Situation, Soil, Enclosing and Laying-party. We believe the writers of this journal Out of Kitchen Gardens; on the Making and Managing of Hot-beds and Green. Houses; and on the Propagation and Cultivation of all sorts of Kitchen-Garden Plants, and of Fruit-Trees whether of the Garden or the Orchard.

(From the Morning Herald).-Our able contemporary, the True Sun.

(From the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle).— The True Sun is a Londou newspaper of large size, conducted with much ability, and an earnest advocate of the rights of the people.

True Sun it is unnecessary for us to dilate ; it (From the Examiner).—On the merit of the became conspicuous in a very short time; indeed, no paper within our recollection, has obtained such high distinction for ability with such rapidity. At once it took its place in the foremost rank of the champions of truth and justice, and became recognised as a leading paper. It is an able and honest journal.

(From a letter by E. L. Bulwer, Esq.)I should conceive it a public loss to all classes, but, above all, to the class which men of my

[ocr errors]

opinions are the most anxious to serve, viz., the working class, if your admirable journal fall a victim to its own honesty.

(From the Lancaster_Herald).—That excellent paper, the True Sun, which is rapidly rising to eminence among the London journals.

(From the Town).-That excellent paper, the True Sun.

(From the United Kingdom).—The True Sun is à journal we much admire for its talent and independence.

(From the Dublin Repealer).—The True Sun is by far the ablest paper of the London daily press, as well as the most honest and manly advocate of the cause of Ireland.

(From Bell's New Weekly Messenger).— With but one exception, the True Sun, there is nothing in the daily press at all equal to the earnestness and uncompromising spirit of its weekly coutemporaries.

(From Tait's Edinburgh Magazine).-The True Sun is a newspaper of talent and extensive influence.

(From the New Monthly Magazine)-An able, honest, and excellent periodical. If the True Sun dies, or, being sold into other hands, changes its politics, the people will lose a sincere, enlightened, and honest teacher; the public will lose a paper conducted with remarkable talent, and devoted to the purposes of much information not to be found in other journals; but that would not be all the evil. If the True Sun die, what paper will supply its place with the operatives?

(From the Wexford Independent).-The True Sun is a paper, which for talent, integrity, and popular principles, stands at the head of the English metropolitan press.

(From the Cheltenham Journal).-Ever since the appearance of the True Sun, we have been in the habit of receiving it, and extracting from its columus. We can most disinterestedly and conscientiously confirm the bigh encomiums which have been bestowed upon its superior talent and strict integrity.

(From the Staffordshire Mercury).—Nearly the whole of the provincial press, more particularly that portion which advocates the cause of national reform, are more indebted to the True Sun than to any other paper published. Since it was started, there is a marked and easily perceptible difference in our country contemporaries. There are no longer visible the same crude and imperfect notions of the first principles of political science, nor the same absence of knowledge of the fundamental doctrines of government. The True Sun has completely upset many of the favourite and leading fallacies of the economists, and disseminated sound and judicious opinions in their stead. The honesty and utility of the True Sun are indisputable.

(From the Carlisle Journal).—A spirited and highly talented paper.

(From the Nottingham Review).—A daily paper, like the True Sun, deserves the hearty support of every liberal-minded individual.

(From the Plymouth Journal).—This is the best champion of the working classes.

(From the Dublin Morning Register).The True Sun. This journal is already wellknown in Ireland as the medium of communication between Mr. O'Connell and the English people; and it is highly esteemed by the Irish liberal journals as one of the most able and fearless advocates of popular principles and rights, ever known in the English press.

(From the same).-At a meeting of the Irish volunteers, held yesterday, Mr. Barrett moved a vote of thanks to the True Sun, which was unanimously carried. In the course of his speech, Mr. Barrett said,―The great struggle in which they were all engaged was one in which the principles adopted in the True Sun, and the talents with which those principles were enforced, were peculiarly valuable. The struggle in which they were all embarked,a struggle which agitated the civilized world, was a struggle of principle, of opinion; it was a struggle for existence, and for everything which rendered existence valuable. It was a contest between the oppressing few and the oppressed many. The people,-the people of every country should unite, for the oppressors of all have conspired. The True Sun has clearly discerned, and nobly followed up this great principle. The Irish people, though treated as aliens by the British legislature, have been adopted as countrymen by the editor of the True Sun. On any occasion where ruthless power would trample, the True Sun defended us; and on no occasion more fearlessly than on that of the bloody and brutal bill, about this day to consummate its full iniquity.- (Hear, hear, and loud cheers). The benefits derived from the advocacy of the True Sun have already been as great as the motives have been excellent. Its exertions have been most effective in drawing closer the ties between the people of both countries. It has taught the people of Ireland to distinguish between Englishmen and their mis-rulers.(Cheering). It has taught those who have common rights and wrongs, common wants, grievances, and oppressors,-in a word, who have common interests, to feel a common sympathy. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers).

(From the Monthly Magazine).-This paper, in its short career, has established itself, in an unprecedented degree, in the confidence and attachment of the working classes. On its merit it is unnecessary for us to dilate.

(From the Weekly Dispatch).-That really patriotic paper-the True Sun.

(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal).Unlike most of its contemporaries in London, it never stooped to power, or sacrificed truth to expediency. In short, it is essentially the journal of the working population, and the asserter of the rights of the many, against the usurpations of the few. There is in it more integrity, more talent, more of true British feeling, more of solid thought, more of right judgment, more, in a word, of every quality of head and heart which is essential to a good

popular newspaper, than is to be found in any of the entire range of the London daily press.

The army, which is quite a new thing in England, forms another great branch or order, and is equally connected and interwoven with the aristocracy and the clergy. Indeed, there are now five branches, or orders in the state: the royal branch, the nobility and great landowners in general, the clergy, the navy, and the army. All these are intimately connected, except the first, which has a foundation of its own to stand upon, and which takes, comparatively, a mere trifle of the money which is raised from us.
