FIRST OVERLAND DRIVE FROM WELLINGTON TO CAMBRIDGE.
On Tuesday evening last two nativei, whose names we have, not. ascertained, arrived in Hf Kirkwood'a yard, Catn« bridge, having* driven in '"a one-horse buggy overland from "Wellington. .They say they have been nirie days on theroid, and that had it not rained heavily for part of the way they would have been m Cambridge fully two.days sooner. Th« distance by road is something like 400 miles, and when we consider the nature of the country, and the unformed state of the road, it must be admitted that tho rate of travelling has not been ,slow k An. extra horse accompanied the buggy, both relieving each other in turns.
