Memorial and potato disease notes from the era
The passage cites a memorial to Sir Robert Peel urging abolition of food supply laws, plus a household guide for potatoes. It advises saving potato crowns for planting, drying attacked portions, planting remaining potatoes deep for frost, and drying before storage. It also reports Professor Liznia on potato disease noting vegetable casein formation and potential preservation using dilute sulphuric acid.

Time of sunset and sunrise in Great Britain and Ireland
Instructions to compute civil times use place latitude from a local guide. For every degree above 6 deg 30 min subtract 6 minutes 0 seconds from sunset, and add 6 minutes to sunrise below 61 deg 80 min. high water times at major ports are offset from London Dock times by listed hours and minutes for Bristol Cove Falmouth Hull Milford Haven Brighton Cowes Dover Dublin Holyhead Liverpool Port Glasgow Southampton. The Week in November lists liturgical readings and notes the moon age and daylight length with daily settlements for Monpar Tuevespay and other days, including Advent hints. A lengthy commentary on Parliament prorogation and railway schemes follows, criticizing policy and financial overhangs, with emphasis on Greenwich-era proposals and the Irish famine context, and a Galway charity critique noting manipulative appeals.

Railway Mania and Financial Reckoning in Parliament
The piece argues the railway contest will prune 1,263 companies and 563 million capital into a few viable schemes. It urges fair, equitable legislation, warns against overreach, and predicts a reduced outlay perhaps to 500 million, with lessons from misjudged prospectuses and market excess.

Arrival of the Great Western and Oregon Question
Postscript discusses the arrival of the Great Western and the looming Oregon Question. It argues the Senate must counter the President to avoid war over a vast Oregon territory now inhabited mainly by English, Canadians, traders, and about 4,000 American squatters. It predicts pressure to concede, fears entanglements with Texas, and notes Irish distress and potential US-UK trade consequences.
