News from Tasmanian newspapers is recorded in this column including the comment that Murray's Review 'is not very noted for its accuracy'. A paragraph announces that the printing monopoly is to cease but that 'the Government work is not to be thrown open', instead 'a complete printing and bookbinding establishment is to be sent out from England, and to be placed under the superintendence of a competent person ...' A further paragraph alludes to the republishing of 'the celebrated Pickwick Papers, in weekly numbers of 24 pages, at one shilling each' by 'Mr [Henry] Dowling, of Launceston.' The unsuccessful season of the Hobart Town Theatre Royal is also mentioned.
