The Economist, In 1843

Via Marginal Revolution, I came across this volume of “The Economist” from 1843.

I’ve only skimmed it, but I usually enjoy reading old publications. On the Irish bullying Canadians:

A few days ago, a party of Irish labourers, who had received, as they supposed, some offence from a few Canadians, at Beauharnois, attacked and nearly killed two respectable old inhabitants, who had nothing to do with the affair.

That’s the most significant news from Canada that reached London that particular month?
