In London July 30 1843 the Irish Church motion led by Ward is praised as a tempered, explicit pledge for fair settlement of church property in Ireland with a voluntary system. The piece argues against protests from English Dissenters and Scots Presbyterians and predicts future Irish gains if promises are kept. Spain’s crisis is analyzed, noting Espartero’s weakness, Narvaez’s failed Madrid coup, and Europe's wary gaze on Louis Philippe and Guizot amid frontier intrigues and shifting power.
The passage argues that Irish prejudice targets the English Church as the root of Ireland’s political failings.

A Dublin letter apologizes for late acknowledgment and laments Lord Wharncliffe’s reluctance to support the Reformation Society.
