LXVII. Le cabinet du procureur du roi

LXVII. The Crown Prosecutor's Office

Irish Protestant Orangemen rally at Enniskillen, Queen Victoria visits the Rhine, and French Algeria remains under pressure from Abd-el-Kader.

At Enniskillen, some 10,000 Orangemen demanded Queen Victoria dismiss her ministers, pledging to 'fight to the death against any further establishment of Popery' in Ireland.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert toured Cologne Cathedral, then attended a midnight concert at Brühl castle where Meyerbeer premiered a Salut à la Reine performed by Jenny Lind, Pauline Viardot, and Franz Liszt.
Marshal Bugeaud reported to Paris that the secret sworn brotherhood of the Adelphopoiitoi had revived in the Greek garrison at Nauplia and among the Hydra navy, and was plotting to seize forts and vessels before officers were placed on inactive service.

Near Algiers, colonist M. Canut, shot twice and beaten with cudgels by four intruders at one in the morning, barricaded his door with sacks of flour and drove off his assailants single-handed before losing a finger to amputation.
A blackmail ring of 26 defendants operating from a Paris restaurant in the rue du Rempart had extorted sums ranging from 10 francs to 3,000 francs from victims, one Englishman surrendering cash, a silver watch, and a signed bill of 100 francs to escape a false arrest threat.
Soprano Giulia Grisi's appeal against a 15,000-franc damages award to the director of the Théâtre-Italien, whom she had defied by refusing a rôle she deemed beneath her, succeeded only partially — the Court of Appeal reduced the sum to 6,000 francs.

Ballerina Carlotta Grisi scored a complete triumph in the new Opéra ballet Diable à quatre, with music by Adolphe Adam described as the house's most deserved success in a long time.

Experiments on the Paris–Rouen railway proved that electric telegraph signals can travel through underground earthed return circuits, eliminating overhead return wires; railway concession contracts will henceforth require provision for underground telegraphy.
