Ireland faces famine, a Paris fratricide trial ends in a death sentence, and a lunar eclipse is observed over the city.

William Smith O'Brien warned a Dublin Repeal Association meeting that a total failure of the Irish potato crop was imminent, and that France — with 400,000 troops and a million-strong national guard — could burn English coastal towns if war came.
The canton of Vaud's radical State Council suspended 43 evangelical pastors — one for a full year — for refusing to read a political proclamation from their pulpits, prompting resignation farewells before packed congregations in Lausanne.

Louis-Olympe Daniel, a journeyman shoemaker aged twenty, was sentenced to death by the Seine Assize Court for stabbing his crippled elder brother Antoine twice with a specially sharpened knife, then calmly washing the blood from his trousers while waiting to be arrested.
The Duke de Saulx-Tavannes, only thirty-eight, was found dead by strangulation in his study — apparently a suicide driven by 'monomaniacal hallucination,' extinguishing one of France's greatest historic names.
A Gretna Green innkeeper interrupted a banquet of railway engineers to marry Captain C. P. Ibbetson and Lady Adela Villers; the bride could recall only three of her Christian names, prompting the host to recall he had once married the Prince of Capua despite the prince forgetting eight of his sixteen names.

A lunar eclipse on the night of 14–15 November was visible from Paris from 11:19 p.m. until 2:27 a.m., with eleven-twelfths of the moon obscured; Jupiter shone nearby amid Taurus, Orion, and the Gemini twins.

The Odéon Theatre reopens under director M. Bocage with a production of Rotrou's 17th-century tragedy Saint-Genest.

Furne's bookshop has reached the fifth instalment of its parallel complete editions of Voltaire and Rousseau, praised for textual purity and fine engravings.
