Parliamentary Bill on East India Company debated in House

In a late session the bill regulating Bengal governance faced strong opposition. Dowdeswell and St John challenged its basis and the restructuring of appointments, while Burke and Fox argued policy over delinquency. North defended the measure as a necessary reform toward a prosperous, regulated Company. The House voted 131 to 21 to pass the bill and send it to the Lords.

Eyewitness account of a great earth eruption in Shropshire

The writer describes an early morning eruption near Buildwas on the Severn, waking Mr Wiles and his family. A seven inch crack, ground heaving, a barn toppled, land shifted toward the river, and a turnpike road broke and washed away. Trees stood upright, while other areas fractured into deep chasms. Piles of earth formed pyramids as the landscape transformed.

Unprecedented Severn Shock Astonishes Viewers

A vivid account describes a dramatic Severn river event with earth heaving, waters forcing landward, and ships sinking as a shock wave displaces riverbed. Five sheep on an island survived amid a spectacle of cascading water, with reports of river levels dropping six feet in six minutes near Bridgnorth and strong tremors felt at Newport. The scene is likened to Lisbon’s earthquake aftermath, and Rev. Fletcher led a sermon from psalm 46 at the ruins to reflect on divine desolation. Witness J. Epmanns, bookseller, confirms the narration.
