ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
The British and North American Royal Mail steam
ship Cambria, Captain Leitch, arrived at Liverpool
last night, with four days' later intelligence from
the United States and the British North American
colonial possessions than that received by the Frank-
lin. The Cambria sailed from Boston on the 21st at
noon; arrived at Halifax on the 23rd at 3 u.m., and
sailed thence for Europe at :!.1.5 a.m. She bring, 31
passengers, andtls,ooodols. in slmcie. A large portma
oldie New York mail had not reached Boston at the
time of her departure, and there was nut the cus-
tomary telegraphic despatch from New York via
Halifax. The weather is described as intensely
severe throughout the northern states of the Cuion.
The Artie steamer from Liverpool was tele-
graphed as below New York on the 21st. The har-
bour at New York was full of ice, and the steamer
would not get up in consequence for several h.mrs.
The New lurk Cuurier uoul Inyuirer, of Jan. 21,
says:

At Buffalo a lire had taken place on the lsth,

Later adviees from New Mexico state that the In-
dians are again very troublesome in that territory. The
red people appear to disregard altogether the treaty
they recently entered into with the government of-
ficers, and it is feared that much larger beaks of
troops will have to be placed in that vicinity before
the 7 will cease their depredations upon the settlers.

The legislature had taken no definite action in relation ts
the public debt. The bill confirming the action of the an-
dinir and controller in sealing it was before the house. It
is believed that it will pas.. A motion for a committee to
investigate the method adopted in making the seal. has
been voted down. Gen. Smith has ordered the eompani.v
stationed at Fort Worth, Fort Gates, Austin, San Antonio and
Fort Martin Scott, to remove to stations further north, than
extending the frontier into lice Indian country. The new
posts are to be established on the north hank of the
Conchs, and on the San Saba, at the head spring of that
river, bear the El l'aso rosit New posts sill he esta-
blished east of the Colorado, a.tove the rreseut line. This
will prevent collisions between the Indians and frontier
Killers, who wire already pushing their improvements
above the old posts. A vast extent of fertile and bean-
tiful country will now be opened for the settlement.
Texas has received live millions out of the ten &Iva-
priated to buy all her claim to New Mexico. The remain.
ing live millions were only to be paid in case the state pro-
duced the release of her Bondholders, fur whole claims the
public revenues of the state were pledged. These reliasie
she has not been able to obtain, fur site bad no means to
pay the bonus, and the bondholders would nut trust her to
receive the five millions for them. The state, therefore,
now throws up her head and tells the bondholders they may
get their pay of the general government as they best Caln.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, MONDAY NiGur, lAN. 19.
NIONET.—The stock market was heavy to-day, and prices
had a downward tendency. A list of the saki and general
quotations will be found below. At the second board the
sales of Erie were extensive, closing at 751 ; Erie '7l bonds
sold at 90, and Reading Railroad 57. There has brio a
fair demand for sterling exchange at 110 to 1101. The
amount of Southern Bills in the market is probably not as
heavy as it would have been had the mails arrived regular,
which has not been the rose for some time past. Continen-
tal Bills are dull. France, 5.15 to 5.131; Amsterdam, 411
to 411 ; Hamburg, 361 to 3(1; Bremen, 73 to 74.
COTTON.—Our last review of the market was written for
the Frankiin' 17th inst. On the 17th the Asia's advice.
came to hand, and, to say th it they ili.appointed the trade
on this side, is not to express the feeling which they pro-
duced, namely--disgust. " Another addition to the stork !'
" It is really disgraceful!" were the eaprissions that GU
from the lips of all. If any effect was intended it has sig-
natty failed, as neither French revolution nor the sponta-
neous production of 43,000 bales of cotton in Liverpool,
have produced a depressing influence on this side. The
market closes quietly, it is true, awaiting the return ac-
counts from New Orleans, but with a limn feeling on the
part of holders, and a very light stock on sale. The sales of
the 17th were 1,600 bales, and to-day, 19th, GOO.
