The New System of Surgical Operation in Waerminstan
A report from a Wednesday ether surgery session at a hospital notes three procedures under ether anesthesia with prominent spectators including Sir Charles Napier and other figures. A cancer in the breast was removed from a woman with minimal distress, followed by a neck tumor puncture and a dental extraction, all performed under inhaled ether. A fourth case, a jaw and lacrimal bone tumor, led to refusals to proceed by some surgeons, yet the surgeon Guthrie succeeded. The piece also mentions ether trials in Edinburgh and Suffolk General Hospital, plus veterinary use and warnings about ether’s flammability.

Exeter Hall Lion’s Tail and Middlesex Endowment Debate
A letter from Henry Hoare criticizes Levy Grosvenor for opposing or shaping views on an Irish endowment proposal. The exchange, tied to Lord Ellesmere’s motion on endowing Irish Roman Catholic clergy and Maynooth, sparks countercharges about Protestant establishment and potential Catholic influence. The Standard attacks such rhetoric while warning Middlesex electors of perceived dangers to property and church established order.
