CAMBRIDGE.

(From our own Correspondent.) There is little or no news to send you. The Governor, accompanied by Major Campbell and Captains Machell and Leslie, arrived in Cambridge on Thursday afternoon. On Friday his Excellency and suite went out shooting, and, as the pheasants are very numerous' about this district, they had pretty good sport. The Governor and P ar ty lunched with Hargreaves, the Maori chief at Tamahere. They returned to Cambridge in the evening, and took their departure for Hamilton on Saturday morning. V~ . The settlers hereabouts are all busy • sowing wheat. There will be a very considerable acreage under crop in this district this season. Several people are enquiring for good seed wheat, and a good sample would find a ready-sale. The Rev. Mr. Norrie, from Papakura, held the first of a series of services, in connection with the Presbyterian Church, in the school-room yesterday. There was a large attendance, the Presbyterian body being very strong in Cambridge and neighborhood, and all the adherents of that Church were present almost without exception. _ I The Cambridge people find the alteration of the place of ariival and. departure of the mails from Ngaruawahia to Hamilton a great inconvenience. It interferes more especially with the transaction of banking business. Formerly, if a remittance were ; forwarded to the Bank its receipt was acknowledge I on the following day ; now, in consequence of the alteration, a reply is not' received until three days after the Communication-has been forwarded. .This delay causes serious inconvenience in the sending of remittences to Auckland through the Ngaruawahia Bank.
