The article describes a performance of The Andria of Terence by West x cur scholars with a long cast including Simo and Pamphilus. It notes the room filled with an audience, warm applause, and strong reception for the young actors and the prologue epilogue performance.
A special Court of Common Council convened at the Guildhall to consider petitioning the Queen to open the ports for free food import. Proposals declared include relieving famine risk, revising laws, and seeking a royal address to press open trade. The meeting adjourned after voting to pursue the address to her Majesty.

Reports describe a deadly ambush near Kyle Park in Tipperary with officer Cullen wounded, a boy confessed in the later hunt, and police raids across Upper and Lower Ormond. Details recount a murder linked to prior prosecutions and a large police patrols presence, plus a Dublin bazaar visit by nobles and a Berkeswell murder inquiry unfolding in England.
The East Surrey Agricultural Association debate shows President Mr Sutherland leaning to compromise on corn law shifts while critic Mr Cayley rejects gradual reform. The tractitus survey insults Miltonic and Tory era patterns, railing at protectionist rhetoric, currency theorists, and parliamentary constituencies, ending with warnings against neglecting famine pressures and public needs.
A polemical critique targets Mr Cayley amid a broader dispute on land monopoly and national wealth. It denounces protectist doctrine, laments dull rhetoric, and urges the nation to awaken to agricultural and economic self-development through prudent policy and historical reflection.
Lord Denman and the court review Barón de Bode claim for compensation under 1806 1815 treaties with France.

The court finds no money was received by the sovereign and rules against the claimant.
