A.RBIV.AL OF THE CAMBRIA.

The Cunard steam-ship Cambria arrived in the Mersey
yesterday morning, having on board 213 rank and file,
composed of sick and wounded from various regiments,
8 civil servants, 29 women, 8 children, and 8 horses.
The officers are, Quartermaster Lilley, of the Grena-
dier Guards, who has charge of the invalids ; Captain
Vialls, of the 95th ; Paymaster Wheatley, 42d ; Colonel
Warren, 55th ; Hon. Captain Carnegie, R.N. ; Capt.
Frere, R.N. ; Lieut. Aston, R.N. ; Staff Assistant-
Surgeons A. W. Pinkerton and W. Gordon.
The sick and wounded were taken on board the Cam-
bria at Malta, where they were transferred from the
Ripon, which vessel had brought them from Constanti-
nople, where they embarked on the 29th of December.
The Cambria left Malta on the 4th inst., passed her
Majesty's ship Jean d'Acre on the 12th, off Lisbon,
bound for the Crimea, with troops and stores on board,
and arrived in the Mersey at an early hour yesterday
morning. _ _ _

During the passage there was one death and one
birth on board.

The sick and wounded are from various regiments—
Scots Fusilier Guards, cavalry, artillery, and regiments
of the line. Some of them are much emaciated, while
others look all the nobler for the hardships they have
endured. They appear to have suffered chiefly from
dfarrhe3a, though many bear evidence of the " hair-
breadth escapes" they have experienced. Some have
their hands wrapped up ; ethers an arm in sling ; a third
class hobble painfully on the deck. Not a few of these
were wounded at Alma. One fine fellow, private Wal-
ters, of the Fusilier Guards, in reply to inquiries, stated
that he had been invalided since the memorable 20th
of September, when he sustained a severe wound
on the heights of Alma. The sufferings of himself
and his wounded comrades in the hospital at Scutari
were dreadful. They lay seven days after the engage-
ment without receiving Burgin' assistance, there being
only one surgeon on board, and he was among the
wounded. He confirmed, also, the terrible accounts
which have been so plentifully distributed, of their
sufferings from the shortness of provisions. " But,
thank God," continued the poor fellow, as large tears
coursed slowly down his cheek, "thank God we've got
back to a,country that will take care of us. We are
all proud of our country, prouder of it than ever ; and
are grateful for the kindness that has been shown us.
Everything is very different now at Constantinople—
plenty of good bedding, plenty of provisions, and every-
thing that's wanted." He further stated that they had
all been as comfortable on the passage as they could ex-
pect ; that they had very much improved in health
during the voyage ; and that he hoped the majority
would soon be well.
Two principal objects of attraction were the chargers
belonging to Lord Cardigan. One, a powerful chestnut
horse, carried the gallant earl safely through several
engagements, the most memorable being the light ca-
valry charge at Exlaklava.
At Malta the Cambria received on board from the
Ripon the body of Brigadier-General Adams, who died
at Scutari. The body has been. brought in a lead coffin.
On the arrival of the Cambria becoming known, the

The necessary accommodation having been provided
for them in the pariah hospital they will remain here un-
til convalescent.
