— Appears in: The Colonist , 5 November vol. 1 no. 45 1835; (p. 354) In this short column, the writer for the Colonist, probably Henry Bull, notes the return to Sydney from Lake Bathurst of the Sydney Monitor's editor Edward Smith Hall.

1 The Sydney Gazette Henry Bull , 1835 single work column
— Appears in: The Colonist , 29 October vol. 1 no. 44 1835; (p. 348) A series of columns between the Sydney Gazette and the Colonist was sparked by comments made by the Colonist on the impending trial of John Laing (one-time clerk for the Gazette). In this column, the writer for the Colonist, probably Henry Bull, turns the conversation away from the court case and towards subscriber numbers. Bull contends that many of the Gazette's subscribers are cancelling their subscriptions and taking up a subscription with the Colonist instead.
1 To the Australian Public Henry Bull , 1835 single work column
— Appears in: The Colonist , 1 October vol. 1 no. 40 1835; (p. 316)

Henry Bull introduces himself to the readerhip of the Colonist: 'Having assumed the management of the Colonist newspaper, as will be seen by the imprint in to-day's number, I may perhaps be permitted on this occasion to step aside from the usual course of an editor, and address my fellow-colonists in the first person singular'.

Bull announces his intention to 'advance the best interests of this rapidly flourishing colony, by encouraging morality, religion, literature and commerce, and by being a faithful chronicler of the events of the times uninfluenced by sordid selfishness or the "pomp and circumstance of power", unbiassed by partiality on the one hand, and undeterred on the other by the threats of evil doers, how powerful soever they may be, from steadily pursuing the path of truth and the course of justice'.
