Lafontaine Mesmeric Experiments at Hanover Square Rooms
A Wednesday gathering at Hanover-square Rooms led M. Lafontaine to describe his mesmerism attempts. An English audience demanded proof as a youth was revealed in an altered state. Captain Nevil tested the subject for half an hour with no clear effects, while attendees grew impatient and called the demonstrations inadequate or fraudulent.

Important combination of the electro type with the daguerreotype
A London Electrical Society meeting featured papers on electrotype etching and a new voltaic method to etch Daguerreotype plates. Professor Grove reported experiments showing that a Daguerreotype could be etched and reproduced as electrotype copies, giving a naturalistic image with high fidelity.

CANTON TRADE TENSIONS AND BRITISH REASSERTION
Reports from Canton detail ongoing British actions after the fall of the city, with Captain Elliot seeking trade terms and a reduction on tea duties while Hong merchants demand cash payments. Imperial edicts condemn Keshen and natives, and a Chinese army masss at Canton foreshadows further conflict as fleets and marines secure foreign factories.

Arrival of the Great Western to United States and Canada
The Great Western, Captain Hosken, arrived after a record passage of twelve days ten hours, bringing seventy passengers and latest Canton news to April 17. Reports from U S assemblies reference measures on compensation for rebel destruction, provincial bank, feudal tenure abolition, and member pay. Canada debates timber tax, ballot proposals, and Home Government policy amid looming harvests and a dull cotton market.
