Telegeaphic Extension to Shoetland and Napiee. — We have it from an authentic source that it is the intention of the General Government to push on the construction of the telegraphic . extension from Auckland to Shortland with as great speed as possible, to ensure the completion of the line to the Thames goldfield before the expiration of the ensuing . sum- , mer. The project as at. present defined is to carry the telegraph from Shortland to Napier, via Tauranga. It is pretty well understood in. well-informed circles that the Superintendent of Hawke's Bay, Mr. McLean, and other influential parties, having large interests, in the Taupo district, have made strenuous ..exertions to have the line carried through that part of the country, but at 'last advices we are informed it was very doubtful whether the request in this direction would be acceded tQ.w#o%tfww Cro.ss, August 28,
