Untitled, single work column
The writer for the Calcutta Journal praises the Australian newspaper. The column begins: 'When the Australian — a new Journal established at New South Wales — was put into our hands, we were certainly at a loss to believe that any thing so English-like in face and execution could really have issued from an Asiatic Press'.

Correct Statement, Atwell Edwin Hayes , single work correspondence
A. E. Hayes addresses accusations made by the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser against the Australian. Hayes begins his letter in this way: 'In an article which appeared in your paper of the 17th inst. endeavouring to depreciate the sale of "The Australian," several attempts are made to discredit my affidavit as it appeared in the latter Journal. Though I have ever been unwilling to obtrude myself on public notice, I now feel imperiously called upon to refute your unfounded insinuations'.
(p. 2)
Matter of Fact, or, The Triumph of Independent Readers, single work column
The writer for the Australian lays out the full details of the newspaper's subscription base and counters all arguments from the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser. (The Gazette had been attempting to undermine the Australian's sales figures and its general standing as a newspaper.)
