• The current number of The Australian Journal has been received. Mr Webster continues his tale 'Harcourt Darrell, or Pique, Repique, and Capot', but the writer feels the author is 'not at home in his Australian descriptions'.
• Following representations by the secretary of the Orphan Asylum, Mr Bachelder will donate the proceeds of one evening's exhibition to the organisation when he returns to Ballarat. This will be during the visit of H. R. H. the Duke of Edinburgh.
• As Mr Barlow will be opening at the Mechanics' Institute next Saturday, the children's rehearsal of the National Anthem will be held this afternoon at 3 p.m.

A favourable review of the performances of Miss Tilly Earle and Mr Walter Hill in the previous evening's performances of 'The Lion of the North, or The Siege of Stralsund', 'Cousin Joe, or The Rough Diamond', and 'Did You Ever Send Your Wife to Camberwell', although the rest of the cast were less impressive.
