No Pensioner Letter on Parliamentary Representation in England
A late 18th century letter argues that true royal policy comes from a freely elected Parliament, not ministerial influence. It warns ministers against courting court pay or private aims, urging honest representation and fearing corruption that could alienate the people if MPs betray their trusts.

End the cattle drive through London streets after ten
A letter to the London Evening Post’s author laments daily injuries from driving cattle in the metropolis. It urges authorities to curb the practice, noting markets close earlier and prohibiting beasts from street traffic after ten o'clock to reduce accidents and protect public safety.

Court crowd worded with little distinction at sessions
Reports from Cambridge and Shrewsbury detail noble patronage, military reviews, and provincial affairs. Notices mention the Grand Vizier’s letter to Russia, pensions granted by the King of France to Vaudreuil and others, a Jesuit in exile refusing an oath, a Pensacola press, and building crews aboard the Grampus bound for Pensacola. Obituaries note John Thursby and Mrs. Worrall, plus a London fire and counterfeit coin concerns.
