The Bishop and the Rector of North Devon Lore
A lively anecdote from North Devon recounts a clash between Bishop Phillpotts and a parson with hounds. The bishop, famed for discipline and a penchant for brandy, visits the rector’s home to confront alleged misdeeds. Miscommunication and mistaken letters culminate in a humorous chase and a dramatic departure. The piece notes other clerical tales and parliamentary notices, including ritual objections and a debate on paper sales.

The French Chambers and the French Ministry Debate
The Chamber of Deputies debates Guizot's fate amid weak speeches by Beaumont and Tocqueville. The focus shifts to ministerial responsibility, party blame, and the risk to peace in Europe. The article notes Thiers' parity with Guizot and the likelihood of a hard-ridden session for Molé or Guizot, with no clear public principle driving the clash. It also covers railway bill controversies and calls for a more transparent board of trade structure to curb corruption and influence.
