King Louis-Philippe's state visit to Windsor, the opening of Spain's Cortes, and a railway collision in Newcastle dominate this issue.

King Louis-Philippe and Queen Victoria rode together by char-à-bancs through Windsor Park to Twickenham, the King's former place of exile, which he had not visited since his emigration.
Spain's 241-member Congress includes 20 titled nobles, 12 former ministers, and only one industrialist — a manufacturer from Barcelona — reflecting the near-absence of a commercial class in Spanish public life.

A spahi sergeant who entered the Moroccan prince's tent after the Battle of Isly pocketed more than 32,000 francs in gold coins and gems, bought himself out of six months' remaining service for 1,500 francs, and proved his story with a 24,000-franc Treasury draft.
At the Fontainebleau slaughterhouse, 22-year-old scalder Chartier was stabbed to death by his wife; as he pulled the knife from his wound he told her: "You have been threatening to kill me for a long time — you have not missed your mark."
Two locomotives emerged simultaneously from a blind curve on the Brandling Junction Railway near Newcastle, killing one passenger and injuring fifteen; butchers riding to market jumped from the still-moving carriage before it crashed through a line of empty wagons.

Composer Aimé Maillart's Rome Prize submission, a lyric scene called I Lombardi, was praised by the Académie des Beaux-Arts for original melody, intelligent orchestration, and a style marked by verve and movement.
A new chapel carved from a purposeless ground-floor hall at the Palais du Luxembourg will feature an Apocalypse painting by Abel de Pujol, vault frescoes of the four Evangelists by Vauchelet, four canvases by Gigoux, and an angel group sculpted by Jaley.

Émile de la Bédollière's French translation of Fenimore Cooper's new maritime novel Afloat and Ashore, published today by G. Barba, continues the series left unfinished by the late translator Defaucompret.
