CHEAP TELEGRAMS.
Sir Julius Vogel, in a paper in the Nineteenth Century, advocates with greMt , clearness and force the reduction of rates of telegrams in this country,. Meeting satisfied that if cheaper they would be more patronised, and would , bring in . larger returns. In so far as we. avaji ourselves of the telegraph-we appear to be more backward at home than out, cousins in the colonies. According to Sir Julius, the average of messages seat annually by each unit of the population is in England 0 634, but in the aggregate of the three colonies, it rises to 1*270 per hesd. Nor have we yet adopted thf extremely convenient system ot money* order telegrams which has been already worked in New Zealand advantageously, and to the manifest benefit of the oom> inanity, for nearly a couple of years.
