TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE DISCOVERY, FOUNDATION, AND

PRESENT STATE OF THOSE COLONIES.

It is with peculiar satisfaction that the Proprietors announce, that they have republished the first Six Views, which, according to the original design of the Work, were Lithographic, but which are now from Copper-plate Engravings, in the same beautiful style as the rest of the Views.

In adopting this method of rendering the Work completely uniform, at such a considerable Expense to themselves, it is respectfully hoped that the Proprietors bave afforded the best proof of their zealous desire to complete this unique Series of VIEWS IN AUSTRALIA, in a style of excel. lence worthy of the high and extensive patronage it has received, and of the present advanced state of the Arts in Great Britain.

Published by J. SOUTER, 73, North Side of St. Paul's Church-Yard.

THE SUN is by far the largest Evening Newspaper in London, being nearly the size of the Times, containing TWENTY-FOUR COLUMNS, which enables it to give the Debates at full length, besides the News OF THE DAY, up to the hour of going to Press, and the “ London Gazette," on the EvenINGS OF ITS PUBLICATION. This latter circumstance gives it twenty-four hours' priority of intelligence for people residing in the Country. It also publishes EXCLUSIVELY the SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC Journals, being the Leading Articles of the Morning Papers, on both sides of the question. As this feature is peculiar to the Sun, its Country Readers will enjoy the singular advantage of possessing ALL THE LONDON Papers in one. SPORTING Intelligence, with the betting up to the latest period; the London Prices Current, the London and Country Markets, are all given with great accuracy in the Sun. But the best proof that its exertions are duly appreciated will be found in the following extracts selected from a few Papers of the highest respectability :

We extract the following from The Sun Evening Paper, as an extraordinary instance of activity and despatch :« The LONDON EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE, containing the official account of the destruction of the Turkish and Egyptian fleets, was not published till after eight o'clock on Saturday night, which was too late for the mails. We promised in our first edition to give the GAZETTE that evening; but the late hour at which it was published rendered it impossible in the ordinary way. A report was spread, we know not how true, that the GAZETTE was purposely delayed, to prevent the Evening Papers from giving it by the post. If so, the object was effected; for our contemporaries either did not attempt to do it, or failed. Neither was Government able to send copies by the mail, for the same reason; 80 that people in the country would be two days in ignorance of the official account. We resolved, at eight o'clock, to surmount the difficulty interposed, and by a quarter past nine printed the whole of the GAZETTE, containing nearly four columns, which we sent off by ezpress after the mails. They had then full one hour and a half the start of us, but we overtook all that we attempted-some at 50 miles, the Glasgow mail at 60, the Manchester at 70, the Liverpool and Holyhead (the Holyhead mail was not overtaken till beyond Shrewsbury, being 155 miles from London) at ninety miles from London. We encountered various difficulties, the mails, in some instances, being 30 mfles a-head, owing to delays in getting horses, and the roads being very heavy; but we succeeded effectually. The consequence is, that THE Sun has spread the EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE over all England, Scotland, and Ireland, before the post of Monday night night leaves London. The COURIER published a Second Edition, assuring its readers that the EXTRAORDINARY GA. ZETTE would be too late for them."-Tox TIMES, Tuesday, Nov. 13.

We would not do justice to our excellent and most useful contemporary, The Sun, if we did not acknowledge the great debt the public owe to his establishment on the present occasion. A GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY was published in London, at eight o'clock on Saturday evening, and yet we had it in Dublin, through Tue Sun, before noon on Monday. Expresses of enormous expensiveness must have been used by the proprietors to effect this anticipation of the or. diuary conveyances. The public will see how useful it is to encourage ibis enterprise, and to uphold, by a liberal pa. tronage, the efforts of this excellent Newspaper.-DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER, Nov. 13

EXTRAORDINARY EXERTION.-It deserves to be recorded as an unparalleled instance of speed in the Newspaper Business, &c.-EXETER FLYING POST.

The cor.ductors of The Sun Newspaper have again exhibited an extraordinary and praiseworthy instance of exertion and despatch.-NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE,

The spirited conductors of this Daily Evening Journal have again exerted themselves in a way eminently to merit the public approbation; and, as an act of common justice on our part, &c. DURHAM ADVERTISER.

THE SUN recounts a successful effort in the diffusion of news, perhaps unexampled in the history of the Press, and which every friend of the Press ought to delight in proclaiming. We freely admit it was by the exertions of THE SUN that we were enabled to publish, at Kilkenny, the EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE thirty-six hours before any other London Paper could, or did, arrive at this city.-LEINSTER JOURNAL.

We omitted to notice in our last a very curious example of the spirit of the British Journals, which can find no example either in the ancient or modern history of society. It suits the extraordinary times in which we live. The spirited proprietors of The Sun Newspaper actually undertook the extraordinary and gigantic task, &c.—THE MANX SUN (ISLE OF MAN.)

A better proof of the improvement which has taken place in the Public Press of the country, cannot well be pointed out, than the rapidity with which the Debates in Parliainent are now published by The Sun Eveniug Paper, which gives, on the same day, the proceedings in both Houses to a late hour. Compare this with the tardy progress of reporting in Woodfall's time, and it will be confessed that in no branch of literature or science has there been a greater improvement.-- June 21, 1827.-BRIGUTON GAZETTE,

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.-We have often been pleased at the exertions made by THE SUN Newspaper to furnish its country readers, by means of Late Editions, with almost the whole of the London news down to the starting of the mails at eight o'clock in the evening. It has also, on particular occasions, goue to expence in overtaking the principal mails when requisite; but we are not aware that so great an effort was made by this or any Evening Journal, as on Saturday week, when the intelligence of Sir Edward Codrington's victory reached'london The fact, we think, is cu rious in the history of the Press, and we feel assured is only the precursor to other exertions in conducting the London Evening Jonrnals, of which we have long foreseen the feasibility, and which we, four years ago, suggested to one of of those establishments to adopt.-LEEDS INTELLIGENCER, Nov. 22.

Should any of our readers be disposed to order a Daily London Paper, at the present interesting period, it is but fair to say, that we find the latest intelligence in the Sun, as the Second Edition, which duly reaches this Office, contains the Gazette Appointments the evening it is published, and the Proceedings in Parliament to a late hour. While we are grateful to the Sun for the intelligence, which it must require great exertions and expence to procure, we do not coincide with its politics. It supports the present Administration.-GLASGOW HERALD of Monday, May 7.

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.-Mr. Peel's speech in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Ist May, occupying two columns, was reported in the Sun paper on that evening, in a Second Edition, and was received by E. Willmer, Lord. street, Liverpool, on Wednesday night, at seven o'clock. On Friday, the 4th, the same Paper reported all the speeches in the House of Lords, and part of the Commons, with that night's “Gazette," on which evening copies were lor. warded to Belfast, where they arrived in 36 hours!! from the time of leaving the Sun Office.-LIVERPOOL ALBION.

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.-It is but an act of common justice on our part to mention the great exertions used by the Proprietors of the Sun Daily Evening Paper to furnish the public with early intelligence. The speech made by Mr. Peel in the House of Commons, on Tuesday the 1st instant, in vindication of his conduct in withdrawing from the Ministry, was reported nearly at full length, in a Second Edition of the Sun of that evening, and was received in this town, a distance of nearly 300 miles, by one o'clock on Thursday morning-30 hours after being delivered. A consi. derable portion of Monday night's debate, reported in a Second Edition of the Sun was received here early on Wednesday morning last. Such exertions are deserving of the public support. The Paper is conducted on the principles of Mr. Can ning; and as it gives the leading articles of all the Morning Papers, we have no doubt it will very rapidly increase in circulation. -WESTMORELAND ADVERTISER AND KENDAL CHRONICLE, MAY 26.

Reading Rooms, Public News-rooms, and Libraries, will find the Sun a desirable acquisition, as it devotes a large space to early Notices of all interesting and important New Works, with copious extracts, thereby affording to Literary and Scientific Individuals the advantages of a Review and Magazine.

The Sun may be had on the evening of publication by coach, within FIFTY MILES of London.Orders for the Sun received by all News Agents, Postmasters, and Clerks of the Roads, General Post Office, London, Sun Office, 112, Strand, London,

1. DOPULAR LECTURES on THE STEAM ENGINE, in which

I its Construction and Operation are familiarly explained; with an historical Sketch of its Invention and Progressive Improvement. By the Rev. DIONYSIUS LARDNER, LL D. Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy in the Universlty of London, F.R.S.E. Illustrated with Engravings, and a fine Portrait of Watt, from the Statue by Chantrey.

II. Early in January will be published in 8vo. THE FIRST SIX BOOKS of EUCLID'S ELEMENTS, with a Commentary, Geometrical Exercises, &c. To which is annexed, an Original Treatise on Solid Geometry : for the use of the Students preparing for the University of London. Edited by the Rev. Dionysius Lardner, LL.D., Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy in the University of London, F.R.S.E.

lo Euclid's Elements, notwithstanding the acknowledged excellence of that Treatise, there is much to be elucidated; some propositions must be added, some generalized, some restricted, and others modified, before the work can be considered adequate to the purposes of modern instruction. Every teacher has felt this, and has found the necessity of calling to his aid, in addition to Euclid, numerous works on Geometry. The object of the present Edition is, by proper Notes, Illustrations, and Examples, dispersed through the Text, but carefully distinguished from it, to make a single volume serve all these purposes.

The foregoing Edition of Euclid is the first of a Series of Elementary Works on the Mathematical Sciences, which Professor Lardner is preparing for Publication, designed for the Use of Students in the University of London.

III. MATHEMATICAL WORKS, by PROFESSOR LARDNER, recently published.

IV. Early in February will be published, the First Volume, in 8vo. of A TRANSLATION of the Second Edition of NIEBUHR'S ROMAN HISTORY, undertaken in concert with the Author. By the Rev. JULIUS C. HARE, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge ; and CONNOP THIRLWALL, Esq.: M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

“We have long been desirous of giving an account to our countrymen of M. Niebuhr's Roman History, -one of the most justly celebrated works of our times. But finding that the author was employed in preparing a Second Edition, so enlarged and amended as to be a new work, we postponed our criticism until its publication ; and having since learned that a Translation from the Second Edition is now preparing, with the approbation and sanction of M. Niebuhr, by Messrs. Hare and Thirlwall, of Trinity College, Cambridge, we think it better to defer the criticism till a version thus authorized shall be in the hands of the general reader. A translation has, indeed, appeared ; but we understand it to be made from the first edition, and it would be sufficient for us to know, as we do, that it is disapproved and disavowed by M. Niebuhr. The English public are, in common fairness, bound to try him by the edition of this work which he offers as complete, and by the translation which he adopts as a faithful copy of the original. Mr. Thirlwall is already known by his Version of Schleiermacher on St. Luke's Gospel,-a volume which surpasses most original works in ability and learning.”
