A miscellany of poems and anecdotes on psalms and music, Napoleonic fashion, Irish wit, Palmerston, Chinese children, sailors, lawyers wigs, and reflections on life. Includes humorous quotes, historical references, and brief moral reflections from a periodical column.
A literary notice lauds Colburns Shakspeare and his Friends, praising rich Shakespearian verse and a random Raleigh Tower scene. The piece extols the book’s gems, with a long quoted scene of Elizabeth, Raleigh, and a baby in the Tower. It concludes with a warm appraisal of the work’s taste and composition.
On the Homeward Bound a solemn naval burial unfolds at sea as Captain Truck and Mr Effingham lead a crew through a Bible guided service. The passage from Acts and Revelations is read, ending with a psalm of thanksgiving amid a setting sun and the ship's quiet vigil.
Parliament moves to fix tithes at 5000 pounds with bishop income of 1500, archdeacon 800, and minimum parish clergy income of 140 annually while Dublin celebrates Queen Victoria’s birthday with grand illuminations and a large Phenix Park review. The piece then argues aristocrats in the House of Commons undermine representation and advocates removing peer relatives from elected office, proposing sweeping reform to restore genuine popular government.
A Paris born diplomat whose career spanned the revolution to the empire is remembered with hatred by critics. The obituary catalogs titles and honors while condemning his treacherous politics and religious shifts.
