XCVII. The Road for Belgium · XCVIII. The Inn of the Bell and Bottle

The Irish potato crisis, the assassination of Joseph Leu in Lucerne, and the birth of a royal prince dominate this issue.

J. Müller confessed to assassinating Lucerne Conservative leader Joseph Leu von Ebersoll for money, implicating radical politician Dr Casimir Pfyffer, who was arrested on the spot.
Dublin commissions chaired by the Duke of Leinster and O'Connell voted to demand open ports, a ban on oat exports, public depots, and a £100,000 loan to relieve Ireland's potato famine.
France deployed 26 vessels — eight steam ships and eighteen sail — under Rear-Admiral Montagniès de la Roque to enforce the suppression of the Atlantic slave trade under the May 1845 treaty.

The Princess of Joinville gave birth at Saint-Cloud on 4 November to a son, the King's tenth grandchild, who will bear the title Duc de Penthièvre.
Pauline Viardot-Garcia sang a Handel aria newly orchestrated by Meyerbeer in Berlin, prompting the audience to hurl jewels of considerable value onto the stage — a gesture without precedent in that city.

Robert Nicolas hurled a massive stoneware water-cistern from his window onto a Swiss workman named Mariotta, who died within hours; Robert showed no remorse even when confronted with the corpse.

Critic Saint-Marc Girardin argues that Pierre Lebrun's best verses on Greece — including a wine-song evoking Ithaca — were written not in Greece but beside a Paris fireside, proof that memory beautifies more than presence.

At the École de Médecine's reopening, the gravely ill Professor Royer-Collard delivered a eulogy for anatomist Gilbert Breschet before more than 1,200 people, recounting how Breschet pioneered comparative anatomy and embryology in France.
