A vivid reminiscence of Bishop Phillpotts and a rugged North Devon rector. The tale centers on clerical authority, hounds, hospitality, and a planned private audience that ends with brandy confusion and comic miscommunications. It contrasts strict episcopal discipline with rustic charm and a charmed, chaotic parsonage.
A rapid blaze broke out Wednesday evening at Messrs. Smith and Ingle paper warehouse in Piccadilly, destroying the four story structure and spreading to the Mosley Arms hotel and White Bear Inn. Fire brigades battled the flames for hours, salvaging the Mosley Arms roof and preventing full loss of nearby inns. Entire stock on the west side of the Mosely Arms yard was ruined, while other properties suffered water damage and removal of goods. No cause has been determined.
The six week income and expenditure of the Lancashire miners shows total receipts around £9,495 with £1,330 spent in disbursements and a balance of £41 16s 5d. Executive salaries and lecturer fees consume a large share of funds, with wages and travel accounting for about a third of income, raising concerns over fund distribution.
The Evening Mails announces a town edition excluding Sunday morning news and lists agents and distribution options. It details prices and prepaid mailing rates and cites multiple agents in Manchester, Sheffield, Bath, Leeds, Glasgow, Norwich, Liverpool, and other cities for distribution.
Fragmentary column surveys legal notices and correspondence. It discusses covenants, reentry on property, and the need for action in equity, along with notes on exemptions, wills, and subscriber guidance. It also includes excerpts about martyrdom letters from Corfu, postage committee actions, and civic notices.
The fragment discusses a dire financial state with references to insolvency and foreclosure possibilities via trustees. It also contains instructions about sunrise and sunset times for Britain, tidal high water tables for various ports, and dated liturgical notes from Week and January 23th, including religious readings and calendar details.
The Weekly Chronicle discusses Lord Heytesbury’s policy on Rome and the Concordat, noting cabinet influence behind his remarks, the Catholic bishops’ rifts over political action, and the risk to Repeal unity as England and Rome questions spark party debate and Peel's caution.
The piece argues the Pope's authority in Ireland threatens Repeal unity. It cites O'Connell seeking Rome embassies, Peel’s cautious negotiation, and a looming Irish secretary appointment. It warns that ministers must choose between church obedience and political reform as government balance shifts.
The piece critiques the French Chamber and Ministry debates amid the Guizot Molé rivalry. It argues no clear principles emerge, ministers face a hostile majority, and factional maneuvering risks France’s foreign policy. It compares to England and condemns partisan theatrics over substantial policy.
In a critical editorial stance we argue the Railway Department of the Board of Trade wields objectionable powers. The piece questions the basis of jurisdiction held by Lord Damousin and colleagues and the vast sums involved, noting the heavy impact on railway projects and potential for public doubt in their decisions.
The piece notes visits by Roebuck to Bath Ellice addressing St Andrew's electors Warburton at Kendal and Ward to Sheff. It contrasts Conservative silence on interviews and criticizes Liberal leaders for straying from principle. It mentions Ward's Sheffield debate with unions about wages and foreign trade and cites French Chamber debates with Guizot and de Mol.
