The fi.sfc mail journey from Dun«>din to ftasebv in one day was made ye-terday in the abort space of 11 hours aud 35 minutes, Med Devine reaching N» 3 eby with his each ai, 6.35 p.m. Probably no oue but the Prince of Whips himself could have brought o coach from Paimerstoa in so short a time as was taken on this occasion, -with the roads at then- worst. Hud " the Prince " not made such extraordinarily good time, no doubt he would have been greeted with a more enthusiastic reception ou his arrival than he received ; for, as he was not expected for at least another hour, there was only a limited gathering when he pulled up at the Royal, and only one man, we believe, was sufficiently elaled as to shout "Hooray ! " whereas, had the probable hour of his arrival been generally known, the whole o< ?faseb»- would have assembled to give him a well-deserve:! cheer Ii is not a month since we were graven assured, by one " who knew," that the journey from D'unedin to Naseby in a day was impossible of accomplishment in the winter, but it might be possible in summer; aud it is not four years since we were also gravely assured that settlement on thi» Mauiototo Plains was protracted though certain starvation ; —and yet we lire to see that the mails can be brought from Dunediu to Naseby, ih the winter, in eleven hours and a-half, and that settlement on the Mauiototo is considered not starvation, but a capital investment. It will take a lot of persuasion in future to make us believe the assurances of those " who know." The next matter of importance in this direction which we hope to be able to presently announce is. that the up-coach makes it tril via St. Bathans. r
