David Howell chronicles a Irish tour from Kilkenny through the Lakes of Killarney to Dublin and Belfast. He notes Irish life, donkey carts, landscape grandeur, and the Gap of Dunloe with its echoing canons. He observes Kilkenny poverty, whiskey culture, and Irish sentiment toward America amid visits to Dublin’s Christ Church and the Giant's Causeway excursion.

Ruffianism in England Stirs Outrage in Lancashire
London Spectator laments a Parr suburb attack by six colliers on cottages, injuring an elderly man Magrath and his wife. They beat Magrath's eye out and poured lime into his mouth and socket, while the wife was savagely beaten. The piece questions why such crimes are not punished with death and notes fears about private executions.
