A lengthy Commons and Lords session discusses land burdens, tithe after the Commutation Act, and the Anti Corn Law League. Speakers weigh protection, costs, and political risk, with calls to balance burdens and avoid rash policy shifts.
Instructions to locate sunrise and sunset by latitude and adjust times by degrees and minutes. Provides high water calculations for London Dock vicinity with offsets for Bristol Cove Falmouth Hull Milford Haven Brighton Cowes Dover Dublin Holyhead Liverpool Port Glasgow Southampton and other harbours. Ends by noting related calendar information in Notices to Correspondents.
The Weekly Chronicle reviews Mr Ward’s motion on land burdens as an ineffective, factional clash. Cobden and Gibson attack monopoly while Bankes press the amendment. Peel and Lord Howick debate committee scope, with rich exchanges on taxation, tithes, and corn laws amid party rivalries.
The piece argues Lord Ellenborough mishandles India with costly, aimless show of force and criticizes Peel era interventions. It downplays China disturbances, praising Sir Henry Pottinger and predicting smooth treaty ratification once the Queen signs.
The House struggled Thursday to reach the 40 needed to allow Mr Sharman Crawford to keep his motion alive for a broader suffrage. Lord Marcus Hill arrived just in time, while Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel watched as numbers dwindled and business neared adjournment. The piece notes division over Mr Sturge's Bill on extended representation, the risk of tying Crawford to it, and the likelihood Crawford will pursue the issue on a Supply night with limited prospects for immediate reform.
A critical piece discussing Mr. Villiers and the Young England faction. It contrasts Agricultural Associations with the Anti Corn Law League, cites meetings in East Suffolk, and mocks claims about machinery improvements and public ideas. It notes ministers’ relief aims, sarcastic asides, and the political stakes in agriculture policy.
The Borning Herald claims Lord Monteagle acts as an Avant-Courier to Mr. Cobden for the March 14 Lords debate on the Corn Laws, a charge the writer disputes while noting substantial policy differences. The piece links the Lords debate to Drury Lane Parliament’s opening and reflects rising public opinion and London’s fervor over the issue.
