Persian Christians in Mesopotamia and Indian fund drive
Two Persian natives touring India collected charitable donations as missionaries from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. They are Lucas John and Joseph, from Chosrubad in Uedesbazan, Mesopotamia, with about 10,000 followers under Abbas Mirza. They claim faith, gather rupes in Bombay, Cochin, Tanjore, Madras, and Persia, and report schools and a large church at Chosrabad. They describe a Protestant-like doctrine, two sacraments, and worship with gendered seating. The note also praises Sir William Stamer for municipal support and records a hydrophobia death in Dublin.

Agricultural distress sparks call for Corn Law reform in Ireland
A Dublin Journal letter argues grain prices and rents crush farmers, urging policy change. It cites last year’s yields, current prices from 17s to 18s per barrel, and claims rents and taxes push landlords to bear losses. The writer advocates duty-free imports end and Corn Law reforms to shield Irish agriculture and land value.
