-  * A light-hearted and clever take on a feature of the papers of the time is 'Fashionable Intelligence'. The item that His Holiness the Pope left Marroon for Brisbane maybe a teasing reference to [[thomas_de_montmorenci_florence_mary_m-p|T de M.M-P]]. There is also mention of visitors including the Bundocks (Mary Bundock would be the second wife of [[thomas_de_montmorenci_florence_mary_m-p|Thomas de M. M-P]]) and Richard Harpur. There is also a note that 'Miss Hollinsworth, known to readers as 'Aston Rose'(?) left Maroon 'to our regret'. The Hollinsworths came out on the same ship as Matilda and her family when emigrating to Australia.

   * Rosa demonstrated her literary talents with, among other contributions, Chapter 1 of a long story entitled Barbarian's Dream. Her preciosity is also seen in her poem  the 'Roman Battle Song' with its note that it had been written by 9-year-old 'RMP' in 1860.
   * 'T. de M. M.P.' (Thomas de Montmorenci M-P) contributed an essay on steam navigation and possibly other items including a poem on the joys of riding:\\
