AMERICAN NEWS• ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. THURSDAY MORNING. - The arrival of the royal mail steamer Cambria, Capt. • C. I. E. Judkius, at this port this morning, after a quick TO sge of eleven and a half days, has put us in pos aeasien of New York papers to the 31st, Boston the Ist, and Halifax to the 3d inst., all inclusive. The Cambria has brought home about sixty passengers. She expe - :rienced most severe weather on her. outward voyage, ' having had her decks swept and her boats carried away. ,She reached Boston early on the morning of the 24th of January. •We take from the New Yo , k American the summary of the news by this arrival :-- • - NEW 'YORK, JAN. 31, ONS, P.,3l.—The chief topic of inte rest and regret to be communicated, by this steamer, is the • new certain failure of Pennsylvania to pay her interest to morrow. Part, and a large part of it, may be paid, possibly, some days hence : but payment in full on the day is now out of the question. The new Governor, Mr. Shank, sent a special message on the subject on the 29th, and it looks like anything but present Payment. • Aecording to the accounts from Mexico, Santa Anna ' • " has' been totally defeated, his troops dispersed, and he . himself prisoner. The accounts have been received both by way of Tampico and New Orleans, and also ria Corpus Christi, Galverton, and New Orleans ; still, however, as his affairs did not appear desperate at the • 'last amounts it may not be true. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO—DEFEAT OF SANTA . ,„ • , • ANNA: The mail from New Orleans arrived yesterday with papers from-that city of the 20th instant, in which we find news from Mexico of the 13th inst. If the reports that have reached New Orleans be true,. • Santa Anna has been defeated, captured, and is now a pri soner, where he'was lately Almost a dictator. The diplomatic corps, with the , French Ambassador, Baron Alley de CYpre, at their head, Offered their congratulations to General Herrera, on the 15th . . General Cortezar, who, it willbe recollected, deserted from' Sarita Anna*. Celaya s . the latter has at last entrapped by aa. - act ef, audacious treachery, and at last accounts held him prisoner. • Mr. Shannon, the Minister, has been more at ease since the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rejon, fled. from Mexico. He meets now more goods Till and a franker intercourse with the .- new GavernMent. %So (lees the French Minister, too, and' it ie aupposed that many of the difficulties with foreign powers -will be settled to the satisfaction, of all. There is no news of importance from Canada. (FURTHER EXTRACTS.) It will surprise no one that Pennsylvania Fives have fallen to-day IN per cent. The highest quotation is 701%.

The question_ of establishing a Territorial Government :in Oregon is now occupying the House of Representatives. On one point ? all parties in this country are agreed, that Oregon is ours, and we must have it. Now, then, the only practical question is as to how and when. Whether the ne ' gotiation with Mr. Pakttgharn has led to anything in the way ofamicable arrangement, or is a failure, will soon be known, - as the-Chairman of the Committee on. Foreign Relations in the House of Representatives, announced some days ago that a" communication on that subject would be made by the President before adjournment, which mast take place on 4th March. - 1 We trust that moderation and a due respect to peace will 4 . prevail-on both sides. The best turn, probably, that could be given to the subject at present, would be that Congress should direct - the President to give to the British Government the twelve months,' notice required by the Convention be- Veen the two countries, and then at the - next session• deter- Mine about a territorial government, limits, &c.

The Earl of •Dernouiln laid on the table certain reportafrom the .Railway Lieparttnent of . the Board of Trade, ttrid took the'opportunity of vindicating the l'ileinbers of the Board. from' theaSpeisions which had been cast on them, and of explaining-the principles-on which the Board 'had come to 'their decisions. ' Tke Noble Earl distinctly stated that the Board had never considered the claims of private interests, which were reserved exclusively for the consideration of Parliament, and that their reports were never intended to be of a 'conclusive character. He also denied that any information had been surreptitiously given by any MeMber of the Board, and described minutely the means adopted to prevent the •decisions of :the Board from transpiring until they should be published in the'Gai:eia• - Lord 'BROUGHAM ridiculed the idea that the decisions of the Board *mild tint operate' upon Par liarnent, and asked if.. those decisions were ndt in.- tendedlo operate upon Parliament, -where was the use ±of Asking : such extraofdinary precautions for preventing them becoming known until published in, the Gazette He thought a Board exercising such immense power should consist exclusively of the swern advisers of , the Crown. The Marquis of LANSDOWNI3 thought the instilla tion of the Board was of incalculable advantage. Lord STAN ET said that the Government never sought to influence the votes of Members on railway ' matters, and defended the proceedings of the Boird of Trade.

Ultimately Lord GRANNILLE SOMERSET consentedlbat the Chilli-Man 'should repart progress; and stated that -he-would - declare - on - Monday what Course he would pursue with regard: to the measure. The House adjourned at Half-past Eleven. The debate of last night, on Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S motion for a " Select Committee to inquire into the manner in which the money voted, since the year 1835, for the construction of ships has been expended, and as to the extent to which the ships so con structed were improved," was certainly the most im portant which has been taken, as yet, in the House of Commons since the commencement of the session. The division by ivhich'thia valuable motion was lost, we must add, appears to us to have been one of the least commendable we have had to record. From the nature of Sir CHARLES'S very striking statement, it would be hopeless to attempt any analytical digest of the facts . he adduced ; but they comprise a mass of details which every reader who desires to acquire a lair insight • into the arcana and iniquities of Admi ralty Ship Building, will do well to study. The general question, . suggested by the terms of the Gal, lant Commodore's motion, is one of such vast import ance, at all times, to the well-being, the independence, the : very existence of this country as a First-rate Power, that we are too overpowered by its import ance to risk any review of the speeches it elicited,. which might inadequately represent the grave and .impressive character of the charges adduced by the gallant mover.; the important confirmation those charges received from high, professional authority at a subsequent period of the debate ; or the very lame and unsatisfactory defence to them offered by that distinguished officer Sir . GEORGE COCKBURN. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN had; indeed; this , point to fall , back upon, and he was not slow to avail himself of it ; namely,•that the charges epplied, almost, exclusively, to an epoch of „AdMiralty and Navy Board Administration some years prior to the last accession of Sir GEORGE to , office: But how the House of Commons, with the case before them, set out in his broad, bold, uncompromising, manner, by Sir C. N'Arnt, and incidentally and even through the adduction of other particulars into which ' Sir CHARLES had not entered, by Captain Rous, from the opposite benches (in - a speech admirable for the frank, manly, and honest tone that pervaded it)-- . --how , the House could be brought to find a verdict for the Admiralty culprits, and nonsuit their impugner; in a . diViSion of 93 Noes to 32 Ayes, we,.cannot under stand. On such a question, as Sir C. NAPIER truly remarked; every representative of the people ought to forget,._ for the time, on which side,.of the House he sits, and vote only according'tb his own conscientious conviction of what his duty to the country requires at his hands. -And what were the circumstances in connexion With' the past operations 'of that department, to ,which is confided. the- supreme control and imme diate superintendence of our naval 'architecture in her Mismi•l'a, dockyards, . that the attention of th e House was on this occasion invited to ?. Sir CHARLES told pent what Was the CoMpleinent and oondition of our : ship" Of:the line . and ships of war, in 1800, when he .first entered the naval sertiCe, of which the first and , second Classes dime Could be considered of the highest character and properties.'! 'He then gave a 'humorous, .but' a faithful` account 'of the *wasteful and incessant process of alterations, by , cutting down, lengthening; ' taking =to pleCes; altering, and - brealking up, which successive Admiralty 'Boards had followed, at a vast and ruinous expense, according to the-caprice, or the favaaritisin, the folly 'or the incompetency, of the presiding authorities. He showed how, despite' of re ports froni the most qualified officer's;:' of the tests Of experiment: and observation on the performances of vessels of different classes!, those which ought 'to hive been for ever . diachwiterianced were -built in numbers, only to be lost or' laid up--shortly afterwards ; and 'Ships:of the fimce, capacity, armament s and qualities most to be desired, emphatically discouraged and neg lected.!• . The , " forty :thieves" '(ras ees) and the . , '' donkey"' frigates; and . the "patent coffin" gun , brigs, came in fora just. share of his sarcastic exposure.

He proved, irrefragably, 'that it was, the feeling at all Boards of Admiralty to discourage scientific improvements when, brought forward by civilians : and . to - this' cause, giving Sir W. Sissoans, , ;the Surveyor, full Credit for some good vesseli, he-attributed the failure of the reCenecOnstrUCtiOns by ; merely' practical. men. I 'But the great force of his 'speech, and we state 'it with regret Ws—the exhibition of 'our - 31(440i/trbes in naval -: war-steamer building, and the very capital . defects of - the ~ best models we • have yet, got afloat ; ' Steani-frigates, , ' for example, without, in one class, any guns en their main-decks--in another with-guns there, but no means of properly running. them out and' Working them;. with prows and sterns too sharp Or contracted for- the one or two great guns they are ~ meant to carry ; and - other mistakes of draughtTline,s i .Ac q than which. we can imagine nothing more, urgently . demanding instant rectification.

The,Opposipon, journals continue to main- Aain that the: Ministry have already been t r i e d an d found wanting, not on an accidental question, but on one of the very first importance—peace or war with England. These are the words of M. Tanis' journal : —" The question of the PRlTCUARDindemnity bore upon the, principal act of the Cabinet in, the in terval of the session ; it .had for an instant placed • the peace of Enrolls in • , peril ; it was con nected, beside?, with the question of Morocco, as is shown by ,the correspondence of M. 33E' j'ARNAC, and with the question of dur i v•latio*, with England in the way in which the I '3. • '• 51J14:tor; t, ,CO6.E9' • Nl7,fetlt.: bo6t into sea, , t tLfa l td i 1 .2 t sd l .1,1 I €l ,:t a 0(44:-.) . . ..,.d,c;it:3 imill;J has xoll A - " b pti 117 ra csui haisd c ns Ministry understood the maintenance of them. It , never therefore could have entered into the mind of iniman Of sense that such a question,' chosen besides . by the - Ministry ancl - parties i n the Chambers as a Parliamentary field of battle, was a question of secondary order, an accidental question the solu tion of which did not directly interest the policy and existence of the Cabinet. Had not M. GUIZOT said that he would not be satisfied with a doubtful ma jority, and that for a good policy, the majority must be firm and decided?' After forty-eight hours em ployed with all the activity of men who were playing their last stake, a majority of four was ob tained, and then, when the entire Address was to be voted, and when the policy of the Cabinet in its ensemble was more evidently in question, only three new votes could be added to the number, and the sense of such a division appears subject to discus sion and comment. The journal which -has now doubts did not dissimulate the gravity of the vote, and came to the conclusion that the Ministry ought to retire voluntarily, not having lost the majority, but not consenting to govern with too weak a majority. A majority of eight, added the Debats, cannot satisfy a Ministry like that of the 29th of October. The 140 members of the Lemardelay club have not increased this majority of eight. his a mockery to equivocate on what is as clear as the sun at noonday." The Ministerial papers on the other hand contend that the Ministry could pursue no other course, and that they would have neglected theirduty to the KING before their general in co g ndemned. Should the and po licy th the as country by unequivocally resign vote be unfavourable, it is understood that Ministers will not immediately resign, or perhaps not resign till the meeting of a new Chamber—that the urgent business of . the session' will be disposed of with all possible dispatch, and' the Chamber will then be dis solved." The Journal des Debats .contains some obser vation on the state of agriculture yin France, the truth of which will be admitted by all travellers, who have paid attention to the subject. MuCh is yet. to be done for the 'country in that respect. The following complaints differ little from those made . by VOLTAIRE seventy.years ago : " Our situation in this 'respect is deplorable. Meat in Frande is scarce and dear. It is a species of food almost un kneNvn to the population its general, the peasants, particu- larly in the poor departments, do not eat flesh meat ten times in the year. • Our operatives cannot procure sufficient, and 'thence ariOes our inferiority in many respects with regard to manufactures. It is well known that an English operative can perform twice as much work, on an average, as a French workman. This Tact has been established in. the construc tion of our railroads ; but when it was inquired what was the relative proportion of animal food consumed by each labourer, it was ascertained that the British labourers consumed twice as much flesh meat as the French. We can easily compre hend, therefore, the disadvantage which our manufacturers labour under in their competition with other countries in consequence of the high price of meat. The inferiority of our agricultural produce acts in a most unfavourable degree upon our manufacturers. It has often.been asserted that France ought, to produce sidficient iron for her consumption. Iron has been declared as necessary in war as ,in agriculture. Horses likewise are necessary in war, and still we have been obliged to import 300,000 more than we exported between the years 1823 and 1841." - • : The following are miscellaneous extracts from the Continental papers +.• Count d'Appony, 'who possesses one of the richest do . - mains in Hungary, on which tobacco is cultivated, has lately, says the Courner Francais, entered into a contract with the Government at Paris for •the . supply of 1,000,000 kilos., 2,000,0001 b. of tobacco in leaf. , The Journal du Havre says :—" All the postmasters on , the road by which the estaffette- mail runs between Paris and Havre haVe received notice from the Postmaster-Generd that,,from March 1; the Administration will have no further need of their services ;. and, consequently, . that. they might thenceforth diapOie of their horses for _any other purposes.

An intense degree of anxiety is expressed in all circles this morning for the exposé of the Minister in the House of Commons this evening. So short a period will elapse ere the full details will be laid before the public, that it is scarcely necessary to refer to the current reports of the day as to the changes which are likely to be made in the tariff, and possi bly in the income-tax. We cannot, however, but reiterate the rumours which are in increased circulation, that some material change will be made in the sugar, the tea, and other duties ; and buyers to a very considerable extent are holding back in order to ascertain the variatiens to be proposed this evening. The advises which have come to hand from Canada this morning, are generally speaking barren of interest, with the exception of the following extract relative to the lumber trade, which is from the Quebec Gazette of the 13th ult.: "A public meeting had been held at Toronto, on the 4th inst., of shipowners and others concerned in the carrying trade of Canada, at which it was resolved that a petition should be drawn up and presented to the Legislature, setting forth the grievances under which they labour from the in terference of foreigners in the trade. The nature of the grievance is stated to be, that timber, cut and dressed for market on the shore of Lake Erie, and throughout the western part of Canada West, is there purchased by foreign ers, earned by them in foreign vessels to French Creek, a port in the United States, rafted there; afterwards brought into Canada, entered at the Custom-house at Coteau du Lac as foreign lumber, nominally paying a duty of 5 per cent., and again shipped for the British market as Canadian lumber." Dates of December 20, from the Cape of Good Hope, state that at Natal matters were still unsettled as regards the emigrant farmers, and that many of them were leaving for Delgoa Bay. There is a more firm market for money this morn ing, the pressure occasioned by the settlement of the Railway and other Share accounts having, to a great extent, passed off very satisfactorily. Consols for the Account have been done at 99% 3 / 4 , and for Money 99 1 / %. The Three per Cents. Reduced keep at about 100 1 4 ; the New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. at 100 3 4.

ARUNDEL, THURSDAY EVENING.—Her Majesty and Prince Albeit paid a visit to their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, at the Castle, this morning, and partook of a splendid dejeune, served up in the Russian style. The party to meet her Ma jesty was confined to the family only, it being the wish that it should be'considered hi every way a private . affair. Soon after her Majesty's arrival, nearly two o'clock, the Duke and Duchess accompanied her Majesty and Prince Albert through the state apartreents'pf the Castle, ' and it is more than gratifying to observe that both expressed them selves in the highest terms of admiration at the great taste shown by Grace;his in tact, her Majesty stated explicily that she had not seen anything equal to the splendour of the whole, more particularly the library, which is supposed to surpass anything of the kind in Europe. The Duke left this morning for Worthing, from whence he escorted her Majesty to Arundel. The weather was most unpropi tious, snowing heavily the whole of the journey. Her Majesty left about half-past three, by the same , route. His Grace escorted the carriage as far as Calceto 11111, where her Majesty requested him to "return on acccunt of the severity of the weather. There was only one - carriage with the Queen, which contained COlonel Wyld. It is now 'determined on that her Majesty will pay us another visit f9r three or rout days the latter end Of the spring. —From a Corresponcke. • Died on Tuesday, the 11th of February, at Llanover, s of disease of heart, Benjamin Hanbtiry Stuart, aged 19, eldest and .SUfvithif SOU .of Sir Benjamin and Lady Hall, of Llanover, South Wales. is ki.si MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.).

Although the attendance of dealers was by no means numerous, the demand for all descriptions of the above grain was steady, at fully Monday's quotations. In fine Foreign Wheat a fair average business was transacted, and the rates were freely supported. The supply of Barley being more than equal to the wants of the trade, the sale for that article was very dull at previous currencies. Malt moved off slowly, yet prices were supported.

ANN'S SOClETY.—Yesterday the half-yearly general court of the members of the above society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving a report of the proceedings of the committee and electing twelve children into the asylum. Alderman Johnson was in the chair. The report stated that the institution is in a high state of pros. perity, and notwithstanding the necessarily large expenditure, the committee had been enable* during the past year to add the sum of 1,5501. to its permanent funds. The Duke of Cleveland will preside at the next anniversary festivaL The report having been unanimously adopted, the following resolution was passed : " That, in addition to the children elected by ballot at each half. yearly election, the child who shall have polled the largest num. ber of votes during the time that he or she has been a candidate, shall also be admitted into the Brixton Asylum, provided that he or she shall have polled upwards of two thousand votes during that period." The election then commenced, there being one hundred and two candidates, and at four o'clock, an hour after the closing of the ballot boxes, the names of the twelve highest on the poll were read. After voting thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. TROTTING MATCH FOR 40/.—Yesterday the match between Mr. James's horse Paddy and Mr. M'Clue's mare, to trot in harness over twelve miles of road, came off on two miles of measured road at Penge, near Dulwich. The usual and necessary preliminaries being adjusted, the race was commenced, and the first mile accomplished in 3 minutes and 3$ seconds, and the second mile turned in 7 minutes and 19 seconds; and at the com pletion of four miles, which occupied 14 minutes and 41 seconds, the mare had an advantage. They were pulled in and rubbed down, and resumed the match, and concluded four miles more in 15 minutes and 26 seconds. They were again pulled up and re freshed, and appearod rather distressed, the road being exceeedingly heavy, and the race became one of strength rather than one of speed. They again started, and on the approach of the tenth mile the driver of the mare deemed it necessary to relinquish the race, and the horse was driven in the winner, accomplishing the twelve miles of road in 48 minutes and 45 seconds. ST. STEPHEN'S ON A QUICKSAND.—It seems that the new Houses of Parliament are built on a quicksand, which, say the account, " has a tendency to change places and shift itself.' Considering how often the Members shifted and changed places last session, on the very same questions, we do not think a better founda tion could have been selected for them to deliberate upon. Hence forth our legislators will be able to shift on the best of grounds. It would read rather strangely, though, if the evening papers ended their Parliamentary report, some stormy afternoon, with an intima tion that the House was " left shifting," for the quicksand might shift the House, little by little, right into the middle of the Thames. But we have one consolation—as Mr. Pattison is hi the House, it will re quire no small power to move it. —Punch. FORTH v. LAWSON.—Our readers will recollect that, in the course of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's speech for the plaintiff In this case, the Learned Sergeant made some rather severe remarks upon the conduct of Mr. Clive, the magistrate at Wandsworth Police office. Two or three days ago, however, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd took an opportunity, when there was no immediate business before the Court, to say dint he would, with his Lordship's permission, advert to a matter which had arisen on Saturday last, in the case of " Forth v. Lawson." He had, in commenting on the proceedings before Mr. Clive, made remarks on the conduct of that gentleman which had been wholly unpremeditated, and were excited by the feelings of the moment, and which he felt to be unjust, and therefore was anxious to withdraw. As Mr. Clive had been a respected member of his own circuit, he felt the more anxious to withdraw remarks which were inconsistent with the esteem us which he had always held that gen tleman.—Times. ACCIDENT TO MoNs. F. LEMAITRE.—This eminent actor, while en route from Paris to London to fulfil his engagement at the St. James's Theatre, where he is announced to appear on Monday next, met with an accident from which his escape with life was most miraculous and providential. When about a league from Boulougue the horses of the carriage in which he was travelling took flight, when descending a precipitous hill from the negligence of the postilion the carriage was overturned with tremendous violence, and one of the horses killed on the spot, but fortunately M. F. Lemaitre, with the exception of being severely cut and bruised, escaped without any serious injury. Since his arrival in London, M. Lemaitre lies been attended by Dr. Willey, through whose judicious treatment there is no doubt he will be enabled to fulfil his engagement. MARSEILLES, - FEB. B.—Yesterday morning, at half-past ten, Sir Wm. Follett entered this port on board the steamer Alecto, from Naples. Sir William, on his passage, experienced most rough weather, so much so that it was at one time expected the Alecto would be obliged to run into Toulon. During his stay in the Bay of Naples, the Alecto ran aground and lost all her boats. She leaves in a day or two fur England to be paid off, having been five years on the Mediterranean station. Such has been the violence of the north-west winds for the last fortnight, that upwards of 200 ves sels have been obliged to seek shelter in the ports of Sardinia. Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., and Lady Blanche Bal four are at Whittingham House, near Dunbar, staying on a visit to Mr. and Lady Eleanor Balfour. It is entirely owing to the father of the Hon. Member remaining so unwell that he has not come to town to attend to his Parliamentary duties. We stated, yesterday, in referring to the legal ap potniments of the Government, that it was generally believed that Mr. Baron Gurney had obtained a promise, that upon ha resigning Ws son should obtain a silk gown.

Sir George Lefevre, M. D., Fellow of the Royal Celli of Physicians, late Physician to the British Emery o r the Con, t of St. Petersburgh. dJc. London, man and Co., 1844. read' This is certainly the most popular, the most,_ Aci l able, and the most understandable physiowirxe treatise we have ever met with. The r ecent i - o f coveries of Liebig seem to have turned the heita*bs our modern physiologists. They look to nOtbil tie the mere chemical composition of the solids a s fluids, and are fast retrograding into the exp lode surdities of humoral pathology. They are a srif t r of medical Puseyites, who, paying attention els; sively to externals, neglect that by which aloir _;,l would be otherwise the lifeless form becomes ablolwi., and lives, and moves, and has its being. In thPir:44l tems the nerves go for nothing. It was hig h or that a protest should be entered against these e rl ig sive views ; and we are rejoiced to say then ' so could not have found a better apologist than b' George Lefevre.
