Jaques provides a detailed report on Walter Montgomery's benefit appearances, particularly his recitals, declaring that Montgomery's rendition of Charles Dickens's 'The Bloomsbury Christening' 'offers one of the most wonderful instances I have seen of facial expression, and the rapidity of the change is no less remarkable than the perfect appropriateness'.
Jaques notes Melbourne's recent theatrical offerings (in less detail than his usual reviews), paying some attention to the production of Dion Boucicault's The Willow Copse at the Duke of Edinburgh Theatre.
