The Australian, single work column

The writer for the Australian is enraged at the publication in Tasmania of a newspaper using the name of the Hobart Town Gazette. (Andrew Bent's Hobart Town Gazette, and Van Diemen's Land Advertiser was still being published at the time.)

The Australian says: 'The appropriation of the Title of the Hobart Town Gazette to another Journal can be viewed in no other light than the forcibly taking possession of goods and chattels, without, as far as we can perceive, the most remote right so to do.'

 (p. 3)
Note: Part of the lead article; main article begins on page two and continues on page three. Comments about the Hobart Town Gazette appear on page three.
A Sketch, Z. (fl. 1825) , single work column
The writer is envious of the position of a London newspaper editor, compared with an editor in the colonies. The London editor 'can always find a subject ripe for dissection' whereas in the colonies 'there are no interesting occurrences in one of ten weeks'.
