WELLINGTON.
This day. A meeting of Master Printers, including Mr Didsbury, the Government Printer, was held last night, at which a resolution was passed that henceforward the Wellington Typographical Society be no longer recognised, and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Secretary of the Society. Compositors have been engaged by the Wellington newspaper proprietors, and are now on their way from various parts of the Colony, so that in the event of the printers holding out against their masters, no great inconvenience will be experienced, and the papers will be published as usual.
Monday.
An amateur concert, got up by Mr Parker, organist of St. Paul's, and warmly supported by the Mayor, is to be held here shortly in aid of the widows and children left destitute by the Kaitangata coal mine disaster.
A supplementary Gazette on Saturday notifies the appointment of Mr John McLcod as valuer under the Land Tax Act for coal and other mines in the counties Whangarei and Bay of Islands.
