A letter to the editor recounts a mayoral coach subscription dodged by Wilkes, while a second essay argues luxury and market manipulation drive high meat prices. It reviews the Natton House of Industry and similar Norfolk aims, detailing costs, meals, debt, and potential benefits to parish rates, urging universal adoption.

Coxcomes Altered Piece at Little Theatre Haymarket

Tuesday's program featured a trimmed version of Ben Johnson's Silent Woman titled Coxcombes presented after Love in a Village at the Haymarket Little Theatre. Critical notes mention hasty typesetting and imperfect acting but praise Mr. Gentleman for timely satirical elements and the prologue promised for next issue. The piece satirizes terrace life near Adelphi buildings and hints at ongoing theatrical movements as troops from Liverpool Southampton Birmingham and Portsmouth advance toward winter campaigns in the metropolis under General King.
