TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

(from: our own correspondent.) Dunedin, Dec. 9, 12.45 p.m. Mr. Voge] met the electors last night, when the theatre was crowded to suffocation, fully 2000 persons being present. For the first half-hour there was the greatest uproar; aad Mr. Grant was the only one who could be heard. Twice he was forcibly removed, once by the police, but he returned and persisted iv speaking, and when at last silence was obtained, Mr. Yogel had only half-an-hour left to speak in. He said that the charge brought by the Daily Times against the Government in the matter of the English telegrams was the purest fabrication, as the purser of the steamer had brougbt down a copy of the Argus Extra, containing the news, which he handed to the operator, at the BluflJ who transmitted it to Wellington. The Government had received more favorable assurances from England of the prospects of raising the loans, and the money would be immediately forthcoming, and the Government would be prepared to carry on the works very shortly. He promised to give another address if time permitted. Dissatisfaction at the attempts to prevent his speakiug was loudly expressed by every well thinking person present.
