The Preston Ribble narrative notes Mr Godson M P and Captain Washington RN visiting Prestor for a public meeting on the river Ribble. It praises the Navigation Company led by Mr Haydock for dredging and walling the river, enabling four feet of depth and larger ships to the quay, with plans for a lighthouse buoys and a railway to Victoria quay.

The Song of Steam and a Napoleonic Pension Case
A mixed column piece offers The Song of Steam with industrial praise and a poem about harnessing power, followed by The Emperor Napoleon's natural son suit in the Seine tribunal. Count Léon seeks a pension from Countess de Luxbourg as evidence of his claimed paternity is examined through letters and birth records. The court moves to dismiss delays and rules in favor of the son. The Mars observations note Mars turning unexpectedly white, with poles showing white spots and a potential belt. A brief note on a novel commercial race between Austria and France from Bombay to London is described, plus a short mention of Russian funding for voter purification.
