A discussion on emigration as national relief cites a 1842 census showing 104,307 emigrants and argues for government-backed loans to fund relocation. The piece defends emigration against critics, notes benefits to both homeland and colonies, and calls for broader reforms including tariff changes and colonial policy. It also previews further sections on foreign intelligence and economic policy.

Pugilists' Fight Leads to Death in Kennington Inquiry
Coroner's inquest in Kennington examined the death of James Robert Burrows after a quarrel with William Elsey known as Brighton Bill. Burrows died from inflammation of the lungs and pleura due to fractures of five left ribs, likely caused by a fall or blows during the altercation. The jury returned a verdict of death from inflammation resulting from rib fractures, with no conclusive evidence on the exact cause. Elsey was discharged by the coroner.

The Literary Chronicle's Mixed Review of Trollope and Others
The Robertson travel tale by Mrs Trollope is sharp against Cuckney travellers while The Bit of Preferment shows college life, followed by Milicent or Summer and Winter and a biting poem on Lachrymosе writers. A long sketch on Deceased People We Meet Daily lampoons London social ghosts and features humorous tributes to Piper and Dick Withers, ending with Dickensian pieces and a Corfu legend excerpt.
