A 'difficulty' arose yesterday evening in Hunter Street, between some sailors belonging to H.M.S. Blanche and the police. One of the city constables received a blow on the head which drove the colour from his cheeks, whereupon he drew his baton and defended himself with much judgment and moderation.

A gas lamp stood outside the original 1856 Sydney Morning Herald offices to the left, on the corner of O'Connell, Hunter and Pitt streets. Further up Hunter Street, past the blur of a horse-drawn vehicle, can be seen the twin towers of the Iron Church, at the intersection of Hunter and Macquarie streets, now the site of the State Library of NSW.
