(PHOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Wei/lino ton, August 20. In consequence of Mr Pyke's appeal on behalf of the telegraph operators being compelled to woi'k on Sundays in various small offices throughout the colony tho result has been most satisfactory. On enquiry the Postmaster-General finds that in about ono hundred smaller telegraph offices the number of Sunday messages is so small that the offices can well be closed without any public inconvenienco. It is stated that a list of offices will be notified at once of these arrangements. Messrs Richardson, Beetharri, and Bunny, have been appointed by His Excellency the Governor Commissioners to enquire into the causes which led to the train running off tho line some days since near Kaitoke. The Commission sits on Wednesday next to take evidence.
