Ships news and river Thames carriage reform calls
News from Lisbon and Plymouth report ships Juno and Baltic Merchant arriving with cargoes and a death at sea while the Chatty is stranded at Mardyke and Jean ridden by a gale near North Blyth. Thames navigation alarms cite monopolies from oversized barges, urging limits, pricing, and lighter work to reduce delays and flood risk. Obituaries and notices follow with clergy appointments, marriages, and local prices for grain and goods.
