The Newspaper Stamp Duty Debate in The Standard
The Standard argues against repealing the newspaper stamp duty, countering Morning Chronicle True Sun and Scotsman positions. It defends disinterested reasoning, warns of dangers of a cheap unstamped press, and questions whether moral feeling would right itself after repeal. It notes the decline of unstamped papers since evasion was curbed and urges caution about revolutionary outcomes.

Campaign in Spain Aboard Caradoc and Dalling Endure Harsh Six Weeks
From The Times correspondence Colonel Caradoc and Captain Dalling endured a grueling six weeks in Spain. Daily duties on horseback ranged up to fourteen hours under burning sun or heavy rains. Lodging was in filthy villages with straw beds and swarming fleas, and danger from Carlist attacks hovered nightly. Social contact with Spanish officers was minimal as fatigue and danger dominated. They dined with General Rodil's headquarters only once during the period.
