Fragmented notes: hoax rumors and Paris letters
The text debunks a supposed sanguinary German English clash near Dorking as a hoax and then shifts to a Paris letter on aristocratic marriage plans, dinner satire, psychical experiments by Crookes, a chloral fad, a cold cosmical theory, and a Friockheim church ordination with a playful verse about the event.

Markets review at Corn Exchange on Oct 23
The English wheat supply was moderate while Russian and American imports remained large. Trade was quiet and English prices struggled to sell. Flour and oats showed soft or steady movement with liberal arrivals and little demand for new oats.
