France to Trim Army in 1843 amid fiscal reform
The Moniteur reports a royal ordonnance cutting the French army by 89,000 men and 15,000 horses, from 433,000 to 344,000, saving about 30 million francs in 1843. The reserve will raise effective strength to 500,000 if needed, aiding peace and reducing frontier menace while urging production.

Petition for stipendiary magistrates sparks inquiry in Commons
The system of magisterial appointments faced scrutiny as Mr. Little urged an inquiry and the replacement of unpaid magistrates with state paid stipendiaries. An amendment opposing the expense carried by a large majority, reported from the Devonport Independent. The Dover section notes a dramatic rescue of the brig Amity at Dungeness, the crew saved and salvors awarded £500 after perilous voyage from Colombo. The piece closes with Worcestershire Chronicle reporting severe poverty in Tewkesbury, coal relief efforts for 800 families amid a collapsing local trade.
