Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 1

[trade dispatches]

Mr R. Rhodes, late of Tauranga, is about to start a printing office at Coromandel.

The new Government printing office in Wellington is to be lighted by electricity.

The New Zealand Chess Chronicle is the name of a new venture in Wellington, designed to fill a niche hitherto unoccupied in our serial literature. The first number contains four pages crown size. It is printed and published by Mr N. Manley.

The Volunteer News is the title of a small weekly lately started in Auckland. It has an innovation in the matter of the leader-head, which, in place of the customary title of the paper, has a two-inch display advertisement, setting forth rates of subscription, &c.: the effect is far from pleasing. It is printed and published by Dignan & Kelly.

Two eight-page weekly papers have appeared at Port Chalmers under the title of the Union Shipping Gazette. Two gentlemen had arranged to bring out such a paper in partnership; but disagreeing, each took up the venture single-handed. One paper made its first appearance on the 1st August, the other on the 2nd; and the confusion since resulting has occasioned quite a « Comedy of Errors. » The craft, since their launch, have been in frequent collision, each striving to run the other down.
