The Prince of Wales Opera House announces 'a short engagement of seven nights with that distinguished tragedienne, Mrs. J. L. Buntin, professionally known as Miss Aitken'.
Miss Aitken's season commences with a production of King Rene's Daughters and William Henry Murray's Mary, Queen of Scots on 23 and 24 October 1868. The advertisement also notes upcoming productions of James Sheridan Knowles's The Hunchback and William Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale.
The publishers of the Times advise that they have become the proprietors of the newspaper 'hitherto known as the Evening Mail'. From 20 June 1868, the newly acquired newspaper will be known as The Mail and published twice weekly.
The 'Flaneur' muses on Sydney's recent political and social occurrences. His subjects include the demise of the 'People's Ministry' and the efforts to eradicate an infestation of rats.
In the course of his reflections (on political affairs), the 'Flaneur' quotes from Sir Henry Taylor's drama Philip van Artevelde.
