A select quadrille party will be held this evening in Porter’s Hall when it is expected there will be a great number present. Messrs P. Barrie, W. 8. Greene, W. King, Melville Smith, and Thomas Wright have been declared duly elected as members of the Gisborne Licensing District. As an instance of rapid telegraphy between New Zealand and Great Britain, we may mention that a telegram was despatched from Wellington to London at 5 p.m. on the sth instant, and a reply reached Wellington at 1 p.m. on the 6th. Allowing for difference in time, it occupied, say, eight hours in transmission, or four hours eight each way. .
