INVALIDS FROM THE CRIMEA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The British and North American Royal Mail

Steam•packet Company's transport steamer Cambria, W.
F. Millar, master, arrived in the Mersey this morning, at 2
o'clock, with a large number of sick and wounded soldiers
from the Crimea. Shortly after her arrival she was taken
I into the Haskisson Dock; and directly this fact war made
known sense thousands of persons of all classes crowded to
the quay, anxious to have a momentary glance at the brave
men who had survived the dangers of the campaign. There
were on board Quarter-Muter Lilley, of the Grenadier

Guards, in charge of the invalids; Captain Vials, 95th
Reginseat ; Paymaster Wheatley, 42nd Regiment; Colonel
Warren, 66th ; Ron. Captain Carnegie' R.N. ; Captain
Prete, R.N. ; Lieutenant Aston, R.N. ; Lord Butler (pd.
vats passenger) ; Staff Assistant•Surgeoas A. W. Pinker-
ton and W. Gordon, in charge of invalids. There
were also 213 rank and file, sick and wounded,
eight civil servants, and eight horses—fin of the
latter of whioh belong to Lord Cardigan. The Cam-
bria sailed from Constantinople on the 29th ult., and from
Malta on the 4th of January, and during this morning it
was imagined that the vessel would be ordered to Sheerness
or Chatham to disembark her freight. The men are from ,
vvions regiments, including the Bth and 11th Hussars, 4th
Light Dragoons, 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, let
Royal Dragoon Guards, sth Dragoon Guards, 6th Ennis-
killen*, 13th Light Dragoons, 4th King's Own, 19th, 20th
21st, 23rd, 33rd, 41st, 42nd, 44th, 46th, 47th, 55th, 57th,
63rd, 77th, 79th, 88th, 90th, 93rd, 95th 99th, Coldstream
Guards, Fusilier Guards, Grenadier Guards, &o. In addi-
tion to the above the body of General Adams was on board,
and was to be transmitted to the Isle of Wight. It will be

remembered that he was wounded at Inkeritann, and after
his removal to hospital, it was supposed be would recover.
The gallant old general, however, when she best hopes were
entertained of his restoration to health, sunk under the
pain of his wounds.
The ship, much against the men's will, is to proceed to
Chatham, where they will pass the board.

Regiment had sailed for the Crimea in the Emeu.

Yesterday morning the Levant, paddle-wheel
steamer, sailed from Greenkithe with the last detachment
of navvies and 25 hones for the Crimean Railway. For
the horses there is three months' fodder en board, together
with a portable stable and fittings. There are also several
portable houses sent out for the accommodation of the men,
and carts, waggons, and trucks for the works. When the
railway is completed, the waggons are to be drawn up each
anent with chains or rope by a steam (maine stationed on
each hill. As the first and second vessels with men on
board are reported to be far on their way to Balaklava, we
may expect goon to hear of the wished-fer beginning of the
line.

character. The Avon proceeds to Southampton to-
morrow, in charge of the crew who had been
sent round here yesterday morning. She has hauled

It appears that she was fitted up at Constantinople with
provisions, Ae., for 1,000 men for six weeks, but as she was
not subsequently required for the conveyance of this num-
ber of troops, she has discharged all those that were not
consumed by tee sack and wounded she has brought home.
