FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE, ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. The steam-ship Cambria, Captain Judkins, arrived at T 1 1 • • . Liverpool, on Wednesday, bringing the New York mails of the 31st ult., Boston of the Ist, and Halifax of the 3rd There is no matter for special note in the pro- instant kzuuiti6. ut ,iie American congress. Congress ha_ occupied chiefly with the discussion of the President's message with regard to the Mexican war. The debates were extremely sharp. The duty recommended upon tea and coffee would not be imposed it was believed. It is satisfactory to announce that the shipments of corn and sour to England are in no way slackening. A large num ber of vessels were still loading at New York, for Liver pool and London ; at New Orleans, too, there was great activity, and freights rule enormously high, so much so as to make shipowning "fortune making," as the Yankees say. , Late accounts received from the armies of the left and centre had been received. We take from the papers the following :—Gen eral Taylor has returned from Saltillo, which was all in the quiet possession of the troops under General Worth. No demonstration had been made against him, though at a distance of only thirty miles the scouts of General Worth had discovered' about . "3,ooo( to have been sent from Potosi General Wool ha; been ordered by General Taylor to occupy the town of Parras. The inhabitants made no opposition to General Wool, but were prepared to receive him peaceably. His troops are enjoying excellent health, and are in the highest state of discipline. It was understood that General Taylor would occupy all the ports and towns upon the line of operations to Tampico. He would himself shortly take up the line of march upon Victoria, where rumour says Santa Anna has 10,000 choice troops. General Taylor was to move, in columns, on the Bth, 9th, and 10th instant, for Victoria, with about 1,500 men. Victoria is equi-distant from Monterey and Tampico, and it was supposed that General Taylor would make that place his head quarters. No further demonstration would be made towards San Luis Potosi until further orders from our Government. General Taylor had imprisoned the Alcalde of Monterey and his son, and served rallente hombres for furnishing money and horses to deserters from the American army. General Wool was at Barras, 100 miles north of Chi huahua, with 1000 men. General Worth was at Saltillo, and will shortly have under his command 2000 men. Co lonel Riley was at Monte Moreles with about 1000 men. -General Pillow was to move to Victoria on the 13th.

They also resolved to wear mourning for thirty days, and recommended pastors of their churches to deliver dis courses appropriate to the occasion. OF CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS AT JERUSALEM.—In the correspondence of the current num ber of the Jewish Intelligeneer, we find the following ' The Jews at Jerusalem are greatly alarmed s of Christianity, which is secretly spread ing amongst them, almost from house to house ; they therefore use all the means in their power to stop it. Se cret tribunals are formed, whose business it is to search after those who read Christian books, or who visit our houses. Not satisfied with that, they have recently issued two excommunications against the missionaries, against the hospital, and against all who are in connection with us."

GREAT MEETING IN DUBLIN The meeting of Irish peers, commoners, and landowners, convened 13y the pro ductive employment committee, took place at Dublin, on Thursday, for the purpose of "considering the present alarming state of the country, and the measures which may be necessary to meet the crisis—such meeting to be confined exclusively to the consideration of the present social condition of this country, and all extraneous topics afid party politics to be strictly excluded." The chair was taken by the Marquis of Ormonde. The Marquis of Sligo, Lord Farnham, Lord Cloncurry, and ten other Irish peers were present.

On the 15th August, 1845, a man named James Murphy was horribly murdered at a place called Lisheens, within five miles of Bantry. The principal in the murder was a man named William Downing, the leader of a powerful faction in this country.

HOOK.—A correspondent of the London', Times asks how, if Dr. Hook be sincere in his professed abhor rence of Popery, he can, when to draw near to Rome is only to enhance' her power, advertise a cheap tract with some such title as this—" In the Sacrament there is a true sacrifice." Was it not the denial of this monstrous doc trine, he asks, and the glorious defence of the simple truth justify any man, calling, himself a Protestant, who thinks lightly of 'a truth so dearly bought, who can tamper with it, fritter it away by nice distinctions or mystical subtle- but the substance of the truth destroyed ? If a real sacri fice be once admitted, why should we halt between two opinions ? A real presence must follow, and a change of the elements too ; and who cares by what name it be called, so that the doctrine is believed ? FUTURE COURSE OF DR. HOOK.—A correspondent of the Oxford Herald says :—" Dr. Hook has written to a disting-uished member of the Hebdomadal Board to ac knowledge the pain with which he now beholds the part taken by him against the Heads of Houses, with regard to the most prominent incidents of the controversy which has furnished an excuse for secession.

Upwards of 500 men are employed upon them ; the line is expected to be opened in seven months. A NEW RAILWAY.—The Eastern Counties Railway Company are about erecting large works at Stratford, com prising almost a new town. We learn that no fewer than 300 houses are to be at once erected, at a cost of £200,000. It is also contemplated to erect a church at the same spot, and provide other institutions for the moral welfare of the inhabitants. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.-At the ap proaching half-yearly meeting, resolutions will be sub mitted for a conditional contract between the Lancaster and Carlisle, the London and North-Western, and Cale donian Railway Companies, and the Scottish Central, for a least to the three former companies, of the Scottish Cen tral and its branches. • ELY AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.—This important extension of the Eastern Counties Railway was opened on Thursday for passenger trains. This line branches off about a mile below the Ely station, and passes Chittisham M and W' • 'he " Manea, i.Em„ _..a w hittlesea, running on to t..,, ivon Western Railway at Peterborough, its entire length being thirty miles. FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING RAILWAY. —The mayor of Preston performed the ceremony of cuffing the first sod of this railway yesterday, (Monday.) The corporation and shareholders, with their friends, walked in procession from the Town-hall to the place se lected, which is about half-a-mile from Preston. After the ceremony, the party partook of a cold collation at the Bull Hotel.

A. corre ting a plan for decorating the stations with paintings, &c. thus rendering them a number of National Galleries. He proposes that when, but when only, a line pays ten per cent., any surplus should be appropriated in this manner'. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—From official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on upwards of 2,730 miles of railway, was £134,816, thus accounted for :—£71,873 for the conveyance of passengers only, £33,441 for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of £30,502 for passengers and goods together, not respec tively apportioned; being an increase of £16,898 over the corresponding week of last year, when the mileage was about 1,920.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday, a man named Robert Green, who had been engaged that day as a labourer on the Liierpool and Bury Railway, at Elton, was run over by a waggon which he was driving, and received a severe 2d. and Ilion of the leg, which caused his death soon after . He was employed to drive the waggons along part of the line; and as there were a number of points at the snot where the accident occurred, it is supposed that he was tripped up by some of the rails, and under the wheels of his wagon. _ _ _ _ _ _ The Stour Valley passed last week into the hands of the London and North-Western. The terms are two-thirds of London and North-Western dividend, to commence when the line is opened; the London and North-Western to supply the additional capital for the Present lir.. branches ; 4 per cent. to bt the guarantee comes into operation. Certain sub. who are not identified with the canal proprietary or the London and North-Western, murmur dissatisfaction. They say, even supposing the present London and North- Western continue paying 10 per. cent. and the guarantee , commence instanter, it would not raise the Stour Valle e shares to more than 4} premium. i:v LT,- paid on calls till eholders, )0L AND BURY RAILWAY. - This immel 'being carried out with great spirit, a notwit standing its being the depth of winter, the w is fast progressing.

MEETING OF BREWERS.—On Saturday a meeting 'of brewers was held at the Wellington Hotel, Dale-street, to consider the propriety of raising the price of ale. The meeting was attended by upwards of forty brewers, and was adjourned until Wednesday, when, we understand, the price will be raised, as it has been in other parts of the provinces, to 6s. per barrel, in consequence of the rise in the price of malt. BREAD ASSOCIATION.—A meeting was held at the.

It was orrlcr,,,l y. v 1,1011 should be made at the north outer basin for introducing a gate seventy feet wide, in the event of the docks being ex tended hereafter to the north, the expense to do so at present, being only estimated at £2OO, whereas, if not done now, a far greater sum will be required if the gate should be found necessary at so►ue future day. The exact situa 'on of the gate was left for future consideration. Mr. uggestion as to providing s;ip . accommodation near the proposed site of the e-at( was proposed that the double-road bridge at t lane made a E! south entrance of the Prince's Dock was completed on the 27th of December, and thrown open to the public.

Rector Brooks drew the attention of the vestry to the state of the Industrial Schools, of which he gave a ount. A letter was received front secretary to Lord John Russell, nment had no power to check the Lion of the Irish into Liverpool.

BRAVO !—GREAT LIBERALITY.—At a meeting of the Edinburgh Anti-Corn-Law Association, it was agreed to dissolve the body, and to divide the balance in hand (11 7s. 10d.) between the testimonials now in Course of being raised for Messrs. Cobden and Bright. By the bye o. we have not lately seen any announcement of the state of the Cobden fund. We take great interest in this affair, because we are curious to see the amount of gullibility of which the English people are capable. The fact is, we suppose, that the " Committee are ashamed any longer to advertise the £70,000 odd, and are waiting to see it they cannot raise it to £BO,OOO, before they again commit the amount to the public eye. We fear that our poor friend Cobden has but a very small chance of pocketing the £lOO,OOO originally intended to be presented to him for his gallant attempt to ruin his country. LORD LINCOLN AT MANCHESTER.. Lord Lincoln visited Manchester on Tuesday, to explain his political views to the constituency, or, at all events, to those who are seeking to secure his selection as one of the repre sentatives of that borough. His reception was a very gratifying one, and some efforts on the part of the adher ents of Mr. Bright to cause a disturbance, and also to get up a cheer for Mr. Bright on the Exchange v,hen Lord Lincoln passed through, completely failed.
