History and Politics Dear Corn and High Wages Corn Laws Debate
A 19th century critique argues that corn laws raise prices and wages, denouncing Tory figures like Knatchbull and Moggs for defending protection. It contends that plenty and cheap bread expand employment, while monopoly shrinks demand and harms the poor, urging readers to reexamine the wage food link with factual evidence.

First Anniversary Dinner of Royal General Pension Society
The Royal General Pension Society held its first anniversary dinner at the London tavern with Lord Haddington in the chair. Notables including Lord Fitzalan and Earl Manners attended as toasts were given, and the chair outlined financial strain after the Union Pension Society’s collapse. The society planned to aid 78 distressed pensioners, but funds allowed only 22 male pensioners at 3s 6d weekly and 55 female pensioners at 2s 6d weekly, exhausting available resources. Prosperity to the Royal General Pension Society was urged.
