Brentford Hunt Meets for Harrow to Epsom Ride
A Thursday gathering of Brentford hunt members began with a hind pulled from their Heffen paddock. The chase went from Harrow on the Hill toward Bushey Park, crossed the Thames, and ended near Epsom after about sixty miles. The same column notes several marriage notices Jesus to the trades in Gray's Inn Lane and Bromley, plus deaths of notable locals, a prison self-harm incident, a house collapse in Cheapside, a Durham church floor discovery, and various local notices and advertisements.

Alarm Over Brest Camp and Marine Build Up
A London correspondent reports from Paris of a camp near Brest housing 1,009 men to fortify the harbour and defenses. Dutch and French sources say both French and Spanish powers are expanding naval ports to increase sea strength. The writer questions whether these armaments signal Bourbon aggression and a new war before debt interest on prior borrowings is paid.
