Ireland Repeal meeting dull. calls for MPs to support OConnell
The April 6 Repeal Association gathering at Conciliation Hall drew a weak crowd after OConnell's departure.

Evictions at Gurtmore and Galway scenes are noted with distressing details of force used by bailiffs and troops, and accounts of local reactions and distress funds.

The Death Bed Poem In A Weaving Of Light And Shadow
A fragmentary review praises a delicate small-sword poem contrasting refined art with pure beauty. It quotes a ballad styled stanza about a death bed and watching breath ebb, noting the stark tenderness of the scene and the poet’s ability to evoke a haunting, quiet end. A vivid image appears of a wickedly bright girl, playful yet menacing, contrasting with the mournful verse tone.
