CHEAP TELEGRAPHY AT TEE. ANTIPODES.
! (Pall Mall Quzaile,) : The mault of the experiment of cheap tele graphy in New Zealand is a notablo vindication of the principle involved, and will strengthen the kinds of those who desire to so it farther ercended in this country. Premising that Loug before the English. telegraph, systems becnmo the property of the State, New Zealand tele graphs were worked on commercial principlea by the Provincial Government, wo may add that i
