LIVERPOOL, .I.IIoNDAT, AlinNicarr.
We have received our dispatches from the United
States by the royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain
Shannon.

The Hibernia reached Halifax on the 10th, in 11
days.
Affairs i❑ Canada were comparatively quiet. The
following are the latest telegraphic accounts :
"MONTREAL, MAT 8, 6 PM.
" The Parliament was not in session to-day; it will
convene on Monday next, and hold its sessions in the
new building owned by Mr. Hayes, called the Freema-
son's-hsill, but it is said that the seat of Government is to
alternate tour years at Quebt:candToronto.

"A y oung man engaged in the Custom-house has
bin arrest& d, and is in custody, for disturbing the peace,
or, it is probable, to he detained fur a witne,s.
" The agitation still continues in the eastern townships.
All is quiet in Montreal."

MAY 8, 7 P.M.
" The Government has taken possession of the new
building belonging to Mr. Hayes, and both Houses of
Parliament will meet there on Monday.
" A person named Stone was arrested to-day, but the
charge against him is not known.
••• Some of the late prisoners are about to start on a
tour of agitation to the eastern townships."
" MAY 7, P.M.
" There was nothing of importance done in Parliament
to-day. The beads assembled in Bonsecours market,
and to-morrow will assemble in the Freemasons'•hall.
Both Houses adjourned to remove their furniture to their
new place of meeting.
" Everything remains quiet.
"Quebec partook of the general excitement ineidental
upon the Rebellion Losses Bill having been sanctioned.
The Governor-General was burnt in effigy on Friday
evening last. Resistance was made by a section
of the Irish party who professed ultra Repeal
doctrines, and a fight ensued, which was finally
quelled by the police. The military were in
attendance, but were not required. One man was
wounded, but not seriously. On Saturday an attempt
was made to burn Sir A . M‘Nab in effigy, but the mode-
rate of the Irish party prevented it. On Sunday a mass
meeting of the French Canadians was held, aided by the
same Repeal followers, and a deputation sanctioned to
proceed to the seat of Government to present an address
to the Governor-General, offering defence and condo-
lence.

" On Monday large parties again assembled, but all
passed off quietly.
`• There is a talk of arming on both sides, and the
papers in the Canadian interest talk most loudly."

" SiAY 4.
" News from all over the country stills continues to
pour in, both by telegraph and mail, of the monster
meeting got up to- protest against the Indemnity Bill,
and to get up petitions to the Queen to recal the Go-
vernor.

" We have just received words from Toronto of an
immense meeting held there for the above-named object,
and the appointment of Sir Alan M‘Nab as a delegate
to England.

" There was a fierce debate in the Assembly yester-
day evening upon a motion of adjournment—bitter
ertminations and recriminations passed between both

parties.

" Mr. Pspineau, the old leader of the rebellion made a
furious attack on the Ministry, charging them with in-
capacity, and being the cause of all the disturbances.
"Mr. Solicitor-General Drummond replied by charg-
ing him with the desire of annexation to the United
States, and of being the first Governor of the new State.
" Sir Alan M'Nab raked up recollections of murder
and outrage cotnmitted during the rebellions of 1837 and
1838. The Ministry deprecated the cause of the argu-
ment as being got up for, mere party purposes, and said
that at a proper time they were prepared to justify the
whole of that proceeding. The President of the Council
likewise said that one of the causes of the excitement was
the do sire of annexation, which he deprecated.
There were no new disturbances in the city yester-
day, but there doubtless would have been if the House
had not adjourned at an early hour. Large placards
were posted all over the city, unanimously signed by the
influential inhabitants, urging the necessity of maintain-
ing peace and order. The excitement is great, and there
are rumours that Upper Canada will rise. A few days
will show if it be true."

TRURSDAY Noon, MAY 3.
" The most trifling circumstances show the state of
bad feeling which exists among parties in the provinces
at present.

The fact of the Governor General returning an
answer of half a dozen lines in length to a couple of ad-
dresses from French Canadians was yesterday made the
subjf ct of bitter animadversion and invidious compari-
sons both in and out of the Parliament, which is this
morning re-echoed in most of the city journals.
" There has been no fault found with the addresses or
answers, it was only that his Exeellencv replied to them
at length, and that length was only half-a•dusren lines
while to the more numerous petitions that were poured
upon him against the Indemnity Bill, he only replied
that he would give the allegations they contained his
full consideration. There has been no more disturb-
ances in the city, nor has the news of any arrived from
other parts of the country. It seems improbable that
there should be any more for the present, as the people
seemed disposed to wait for an intimation of the course
the English Government will pursue. The appointment
of Sir Alan M'Nab by the city of Torun' o is being
good deal canvassed, and is causing some excitement.
On the decision of the English Ministry rests the ques-
tion if this colony is Lo be plunged in a civil war.
•' The Governor replied to an address as follows:--
" Gentlemen,—l received with gratitude your loyal
and dutiful at3dress. I lament the outrages of which
this city has been the theatre, and more especially the
destruction of the building occupied by the Houses of
Parliament, with the valuable library of which the pro•
vinces had good reason to be proud. My confidence in
the good sense, moderation, and loyalty of the body of
the people is, however, in no degree shaken by what has
occurred. It is satisfactory to me to receive the assur-
ances that the cour.•e of justice and impartiality which
I have followed in the discharge of the functions of my
high office meets your approval. That course is pre-
scribed to me by my duty to my Sovereign, and to the
inhabitants of the provinces.
"' A free people can hardly fail to discover in the
faithful observance of all constitutional guarantees the
best security for the preservation of their rights and
liberties.

" • No efforts will be wanting on my part to secure
the preservation of the peace of the city, and I sin-
cerely trust that by the exertions of the Legislature
and the Executive authorities and the co-operation of
all f► iends of order this object may be accomplished.' "
"Mir 7.

" Perfect tranquillity continues here.
"L')yal addresses from all parts of Upper Canada are
pouring in to the Governor-General. Both Houses of
Parliament are quietly proceeding with business.
"Domestic affairs in the United States present no
features of note. Politics were tranquil. Government
had determined to send two ships in search of Sir James
Franklin's expedition, ono to go round east by Labra•
dor and Davis's Straits ; the other round west by Bela-
ring's Straits, in search of the lost navigators."
The money-market was easier. Discount for fa•
vourite signatures were quoted 7 to 9 per cent., on
call 5 to 6 per cent.
The banks here were well supplied, and a still further
improvement was expected. United States Sixes of
1856 were 1061 to 7. SteAing exchange was again
higher—namely, 107 to 1071, and 108 f. The latter
being the quotation of the great drawers bills. The
amount of business transacted for this steamer was
limited. sf. 26k, sf. 26.
A good deal of shipping to Havre. The cotton
accounts state that the reports from the north evinced
some previous exaggeration of damages.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OP THE GOSPEL
IN FOREIGN PARTS.—Yesterday the 148th anniversary
meeting of the members of this society took place, with
the usual solemnities, in St. Paul's Cathedral. The
clergy and other friends of the society were requested,
by public announcement, to meet in the nave of the
Cathedral, at three o'clock, to receive his Grace the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the president, and the civic
authorities. Shortly after that hour a large number of
arrivals took place, and a procession having been form-
ed, it moved into the choir, where service was performed.
There were present his Grace the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, the Bishops of London, Salisbury, Llandaff,
Worcester, Oxford, Bangor, Peterborough, Ripon, Man-
chester, and Lichfield; Archdeacons Hale and Robinson;

chaplain ' (the Rev. J. R. Cattley); Aldermen Sir George
Carroll, Farncombe, Moon, and Hunter; Sheriffs
Finnic and Goodhart; Mr. Chamberlain Brown, and
upwards of one hundred other clergymen in full canoni-
cals. Full choral service was performed, the gen-
tlemen of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, under the
direction of the Rev. Thomas Helmore, being engaged to
assist the choristers of St. Paul's. The sermon was
preached by the Bishop of Lichfield, who remarked that
during the last twenty years the Society bad doubled
the number of its missionaries, and with doubly in-
creasing success. Upwards of 100 additional missiona-
ries were required for Canada, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia, There were only two missionaries on the
western coast of Newfoundland, and not one on the coast
of Labrador. Many additional missionaries were re-
quired in Australia, whither the tide of emigration was
rapidly setting in. The Right Reverend Prelate referred
with much satisfaction to the fact that, during the last
eight years eleven colonial bishoprics had been founded,
and that two other colonial bishops (Victoria and
Rupert's Land) would be consecrated in the course of
the present month. Ili* Lordship concluded with an
eloquent appeal on behalf of the society. The mission-
ariesjmaintained, in whole or in part, by the society, aro
350, in addition to whom upwards of 300 divinity stu-
dents, catechists, and schoolmasters are also supported
by this venerable incorporation; but the required expan•
diture of the society cannot be kept up unless a perma-
nent addition be made to the annual income. _

Dunnem CATHEDRAL.—We have heard that it is
intended speedily to appoint a new minor canon in this
cathedral ; and it will gratify every lover of our cathe-
dral services to learn, that no candidate who does not
possess considerable power of voice, and a thorough
knowledge of music, is likely to be a successful appli•
cant.—Durham Chronicle.

The Marquis of Normanby left Paris yesterday
morning, and arrived in town by the South Eastern Rail-
way in time for the debate last evening.
