Invention for Holborn hill passage showcased at Guildhall
At a Wednesday session Alderman Kelly observed a model by Mr. Seymour of Bartlett's Passage Holborn for a three line carriage passage over Holborn hill. The system uses iron rollers to ease ascent, claiming weight reduction to one eighth. Kelly doubted practicality. In St James's Park an intoxicated woman jumped into the ornamental water and was rescued and later detained.

Odious Comparisons and the Cosmopolite in England review
A London periodical reviews J R Best's Odious Comparisons and the Cosmopolite in England. The critic notes Best’s hybrid English French background, liberal politics, Catholic faith, and aim to be cosmopolitan. While witty and observant, the author often lacks deep insight yet remains engaging as a pleasant recounting of impressions. The piece selects random passages as samples.
