The Duke of Richemont pressed protection measures, Earl Grey urged full free trade, and discussions touched railway finance and a ten hours factory bill. Debates shifted to Irish scarcity, parliamentary adjournment, and public works funding.
A reader outlines methods to compute sunrise and sunset by latitude, with adjustments per degree from 51°30′ and 61°, plus added rules to estimate high water times at major ports with country-specific offsets.
