Thaw causes distress as Thames floods Lambeth streets
Reports describe families in Lambeth occupying lower rooms flooded by melting snow. The thaw spreads along riverbanks with property losses likely despite the rising temperatures. Separate notes report Charles X debts totaling about 24 million francs, plus German and Dutch claims pushing estimates past 36 million francs. Assets total roughly 4.5 million francs, suggesting limited means for his heir.

Relief of Bilboa by Espartero Earns British Credit
The narrative recounts British and Spanish cooperation in the Bilbao relief operation. British artillery under Major Colquhoun supported Espartero, capturing Carlist artillery and fortifications at Luchana and Banderas while crossing the Asua, with Ringdove and Saracen sailors aiding the assault. Espartero entered Bilbao amid a scene of gratitude, with significant casualties on both sides and currency of provisions rising in the besieged city.

War origin and misconduct in Calfre customs and London sessions
In a recent trial at Caffreland, seizure of a Chief Tyali’s cattle is described as a declaration of war under Calfre custom, shedding light on the war’s start after Lt Sutton seized Tyali’s cattle. The Asiatic Journal notes this amid reflections on neighboring customs. Separately, John Wood of Falcon Square complains that Sheriff’s officer Walbanke wrongly summoned him for jury service, threatening distress if his goods and chattels valued under £10 were not settled, prompting an apology and consideration before the Court of Aldermen.
