A Lover of Ireland argues that patient, kind treatment by landlords yields loyalty from tenantry. He notes an informer with constables and restrained arms, and presents Lord George Hill as an example of how decent conduct can win support among Irishmen, with more causes to follow in a later note.
The Leeds Mercury reports anti slavery stance on coolie immigration and government regulation failures. A vegetarian society meeting at Whittington Club features Passmore Edwards praising abstinence and citing notable vegetarians. Also notes Lord Courtenay's Poor-law Commissioner role and potential successor Kekewich, plus York Castle manslaughter charge against Yarm druggist Robert Reed for arsenic poisoning.
Letters from readers discuss the role of working men on religion and society. The editor outlines submission rules, emphasizing bona fide working man authors, moderate language, direct topic focus, and editor discretion to select the most striking communications.
The Whiter sends a nearly finished pencil letter to the Editor of the Nonconformist in response to an invitation for working men to share views on evangelizing their days. The author notes daily work delayed submission and offers the piece for publication if allowed by rules.
A letter argues that state church practices alienate workers from Christianity. It critiques clergy as materialistic and politically hindering reform, recalls a factory unbeliever’s death and a ministerial dispute over reading the burial service, and warns that state ceremony fuels unbelief among the working class.
