BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
(from greville’s telegram company, beuter’s agency.) Wellington, June 6. The explanation of the non-receipt of telegrams from Galle is that, owing to the P. and 0. Company’s steamer Nubia being four days under contract time, the branch boat had not arrived at King George’s Sound in time to cnnvey the telegraph despatches to Adelaide, consequently the Nubia ran on to Melbourne, anticipating the telegraphic despatches from Adelaide. Melbourne would thus receive the London mails before the Galle telegrams from Adelaide, which under ordinary circumstances anticipate the mail by two days. Greville’s telegrams, with others, were left at King George’s Sound awaiting the arrival of the branch boat. The telegrams seat are from the I/oiue Xemn of April J9.
