The Hants Independent discusses Southampton church funding, citing Albion Chapel and Above Bar Chapel as examples. It notes rapid collections, new chapels, and large sums raised by Congregational and Wesleyan bodies, arguing against establishment and urging similar voluntary support from the Church of England.
A public meeting at Poplar Town Hall reviews Henley and London Water-works plans to supply London from the Thames via an aqueduct and reservoirs. The system aims to double water volume, raise pressure to the highest houses, and deliver 100 million gallons daily at lower overall cost, managed by a central board. Also notes London death toll and a Bath murder suspect delivering a stillborn child before execution.
A Kentish Town minister argues that Christian worship spaces should be named churches not chapels. He cites scriptural usage, historical practice, and the term chapel’s Catholic origins to claim chapels imply inferiority and urges Nonconformists to build and name their meeting houses as churches.
The Kamtschatka sailed from Southampton after two visits that cost Russian money totaling about £10,000. Sailors shopped extensively for English goods, while officers and crew displayed distinct manners and preferences, including meals served from a wooden trough. The ship’s commander spoke English, visited the Sun tavern incognito, and heard sharp criticisms of the Russian Emperor.
