The author, probably the Sydney Gazette's theatre critic William Kerr, complains about the Royal Victoria Theatre's actors' pronunciation of English taking 'the liberty of suggesting to the manager the propriety of keeping a copy of Walker's Pronouncing Dictionary within his reach during rehearsals ...'.
The author notes that 'Howard Payne's tragedy of Brutus is to be produced at the theatre on Monday next' and lists the characters and the actors who will play each role. The author also notes that 'Mr. Lazar ... has obtained a copy of Leman Rede's drama founded on .. Pickwick ... such a treat, if at all equal to the original from the pen of the inimitable Boz, will produce a bumper audience.'
