We have the satisfaction of bearing ample testimony to the skill of Messrs CASTLE and DAWSON, of Sydney, who by effecting some excellent improvements in our printing press, have enabled us to extend our paper to its present size. These gentlemen have, in fact, offered to give a warranty that they will make a press equal to one by CLYMBER or COPE, for less than it can be imported at. This news will, we hope, be received favourably in the sister colony, where we presume a foundry has not yet been commenced, capable of performing work of the description in question. Our experience of Messrs CASTLE and DAWSON enable us, (though out of the usual way), to recommend them to our brother editors as worthy of their best patronage. This recommendation we feel due to the “cloth” as at the antipodes, it is not expected that we can possess mechanics who perfectly understand printing presses.
