[Special unpublished to] Ad glo- Australian Press Agency. ] London, November 28. — At the telegraph banquet a characteristic letter was received from Mr. Gladstone, congratulating the mother country . and the colonies on the successful- completion of the cable. He warmly expressed an opinion that it would do much to further the attachment the latter had. always displayed towards the parent country. Earl Kimberley highly eulogised . the public spirit that had moved South Australia in undertaking single-handed the erection of the telegraph through a thousand miles of comparatively unknown territory, and said that the telegraph would do more to cement the friendly union between the colonies and the Empire than any political or other movement. Ihe message from the colonies occupied a very short time in transmission, and was read amid loud cheers. Lord Monck intimated the possibility of the cable tariff being reduced at no distant date.
