LX. The Telegraph (cont.) · LXI. How a Gardener May Get Rid of the Dormice that Eat His Peaches

Britain debates the Brazil slave-trade bill, Paris carpenter-workers strike for ten weeks, and China's emperor approves Christian religious freedom.

China's imperial commissioner Qiying secured an edict from Emperor Daoguang permitting Chinese Christians to practice their faith freely and allowing foreign nations to build churches in the five treaty ports — a landmark concession brokered by French envoy Lagrené.
Sir Robert Peel told the House of Commons that under the 1826 treaty Brazilian subjects who engage in the slave trade are already guilty of piracy, defending a bill that Brazil's ambassador formally protested the previous Tuesday.
Paris carpenter-workers have been on strike for nearly eight weeks; master builders offered to raise the daily wage from 4 to 5 francs, but workers demanded a ten-year wage commitment and total abolition of sub-contracting — conditions the masters flatly refused.
A massive fire destroyed a third of Smyrna; the French consulate's two fire engines and Austrian and French naval sailors fought the blaze, but four thousand houses burned and the city's Capuchin convent was lost.
Queen Victoria's Rhine visit is being planned in extraordinary detail: 400 drummers will beat a grand retreat at Stolzenfels castle, Cologne Cathedral will be wrapped in Bengal fire, and Meyerbeer has recruited Liszt and Spohr for a grand court concert.

At the Bordeaux docks, a band of foreigners smashed consulate windows and threw the coats-of-arms of the Netherlands and Naples into the river, reportedly angry that flags were not flown on a revolutionary anniversary.
A Belgian couple, the Brassines, were each sentenced to four years in prison after a cashier's assistant stole Bank of France notes and four Passy gas shares worth over 5,000 francs — his wife was caught trying to sell the shares to bankers who identified her Flemish accent.

The sixth edition of philosopher Pierre Laromiguière's Leçons de Philosophie has appeared posthumously, prepared by a devoted anonymous editor who lived in intimate collaboration with the author and completed the manuscript Laromiguière left unfinished at his death.
