Commissioners on Public Records report after six years
The Public Records Commissioners have at last reported, a notable event given the long interval and recent Commons inquiry. The report’s value is hinted by the absence of several high officials’ signatures with the core panel. Lisbon dispatches discuss Passos’s efforts to steer the Constitution, the Second Chamber’s form, and support in the Chamber of Deputies amid clerical and liberal tensions. Paris papers note a royal ordinance naming De Damremont Governor-General of French North Africa, with debates on expedition plans and possible Duke of Orleans leadership. Hay trade shows Yorkshire hay arriving at Leith below market, boosting Scots dealers and the Royal William steamship delivering cargoes to Messrs Scott and Dougall.
