ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA—NEW YORK
MAILS LEFT BEHIND.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The royal mail steam-ship, ;
Cambria, Captain Judkins, which left Boston on the Ist
and Halifax on the 3d, reached the Mersey this morning.
She was anxiously looked for, and great has been the
disappointment in consequence of her leaving Boston
before the New York mails of the 28th ult. had arrived.
There had been a very severe snow storm, and this had
delayed the arrival of the mails ; we have, therefore, no
New York dates later than the 27th. The mail is only
about half as heavy as usual, and the annoyance and
inconvenience which will be occasioned to the mercantile
community, would, we think, make it a question with
Government whether the delay of a few hours will not,
in future, be preferable to the disappointment consequent
upon leaving the bags behind. It is, assuredly, a ques-
tion deserving of serious consideration.
The Cambria brings 41 passengers, whose names are
subjoined.
From Boston to Liverpool—Prince Joseph N Bona-
parte, Mr. A. Mail Hard, Mr. John Giles, Mr. S. Cornell,

THE OREGON QUESTION.
This important question still occupies the attention
of Congress, but the pacific indications are more promi-
nent. The following summary of the last two days'
debate in the senate will show how matters stand at
present:—
WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 25.—There was an
interesting debate in the Senate to-day, on the Oregon
question, and the character of the late intelligence from
England.
After Mr. Dickenson had concluded his speech,
Mr. Dayton moved that the further discussion of the
subject be postponed to Monday fortnight. He did not
think that any good could come from a discussion at
this time. The character of the late intelligence had
impressed him as very amicable, and it was proper to
meet it in the same spirit. We could not, in a better
manner, meet that amicable disposition than by showing
that we were in no hot haste.
Mr. Allen said, in regard to the pacific news, of which
we had heard so much, men might well differ in opi-
nion. lie had seen nothing in the language of mini-
sters, or in that of the press, which afforded any evidence
of a change in the designs of England. The British
Cabinet was too sagacious to disclose its designs in ad-
vance; and if we were to gather anything from their
declarations, it would be the very reverse of what they
professed. But the British Government had had the
President's message before them for two months, and
they knew what measures were proposed by us. There
was no propriety in our taking counssl from the move-
ments of Great Britain ; and if we now postponed the
subject, it would show that we lacked nerve and heart
for the work we had undertaken. This subject had
now beeline connected with another of greater impor-
tance—our political relations to other countries, He
alluded to the project of a monarchical government, under
European guarantee, for Mexico.
Mr. Dayton—The senator from Ohio may be right ;
the sentiments of the British ministers and press might
not be a fair exponent of the designs of the British
government. If so, he wished that a little of the same
discretion could be manifested her... He did not propose
a postponement with a view to shrink from the question,
but with a view to more deliberate action. The senate
was not now prepared to act, and the question had be-
come stale.
Mr. Cass made some remarks with a view to justify
his former inferences as to the position of the British
government on this question. Nothing in the Queen's
speech or in parliament showed any pacific intenth,n
toward the United States, bat the reverse. He was
' astonished at the remark of the government paper (the
' Union) that the news from Great Britain was pacific.
Mr. Bele ien was disposed to support the motion, but
he agreed that our right to give the notice was indis-
putable.
Mr. Dayton withdrew his motion to postpone.
Mr. Colquitt wished to submit an amendment which
would express the sense of the Senate that the question
was a proper one for negotiation and compromise.
Mr. Calhoun said he hoped every senator would come
to-morrow, prepared to vote on the amendments,
The Senate went into consideration of executive
business.

WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, FEB. 26

The following is the form of the notice proposed by
Mr. Colquitt yesterday, and which, it is believed, meets
the views of Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Crittenden, and others
of bath parties.
Upon the adoption of this resolution, it is surmised
that Mr. Buchanan will retire from the Cabinet, and
that negotiations will be renewed.
The following are the joint resolutions :
" That notice be given, in terms of the treaty, for abro
gating the convention made between Great Britain and the
United States on the 20th of October, 1818, and continued
by the convention of 1827, immediat-ly after the close of the
present session of Congress, unless the President. in his dis-
cretion, shall consider it prudent to defer it to a later period.
Sect 2. And be it further resolved, that it is earnestly de-
sired that the longstanding controversy respecting limits in
the Oregon territory be speedily &Vied by NEGO7'IA-
TION and COMPROMISE, in order to tranquillise the
public mind, and to preserve the friendly relations of the two
countries."

Mr. Webster, after alluding to the importance of an
expression of opinion on this subject, by the Senate, in
reference to the interests of the business community,
which were suffering by the state of suspense, inquired
whether the senator from Kentucky (Mr. Crittenden)
had determinded to accept the proposition of the senator
from Georgia (Mr. Colquitt).
Mr. Crittenden bad determined, he said, to accept the
point alone; and he would accept the latter with some
qualification. Mr. Crittenden went on to say that what
ever might be the occasional p )pular effervescence in
this country, or the fervour of debates here, he trusted
that it would be found that the Senate would come to a
wise and temperate conclusion on this subject. There
was a great desire that action should take p.aco to-day,
in order that the result may be transmitted by the
steamer, but he did not see its importance.
Mr. Webster did not differ a hair's breadth in opinion
from the Hon. Senator from Kentucky as to the pro-
priety of the course that he proposed. He went on to
say that the exercise of the treaty tight to give the
notice was no just cause of offence, but the circumstances
attending it were to be considered. The House accom-
panied the naked notice with a proposition qualifying
it. Some such proposition had been offered here. It
seemed to he the sense of the Senate that some qualifi-
cation ought to be adopted. It was now desirable that
we should know theopinion of the Executive Govsrnment
as to the effect and use of this notice. The President did
not expect war, but how was he to escape it? The question
must be settled, and, if so, by negotiation. But what is
to be the basis of the negotiation ? What were
to be the terms? All that we have from the Govern-
ment was that they claimed the whole of Oregon or none.
He could not understand the position of the Govern-
ment. It would not treat for anything less than the
whole of Oregon, but propose negotiation. Did they
expect by negotiation to persuade Great Britain to give
us the whole of Oregon? He wished success to the pro-
ject. There seemed to be a gross incon-iztency in the
positions of the Government. If they di t not intend to
compromise, the result often predicted by the senator
from Michigan must happen. Mr. Webster, in the
course of his remarks, said that a majority of the Senate
would vote for the two propositions of Mr. Colquitt.
Mr. Magnum here said, two thirds will vote tor it.

Mr. Breese, Mr. Hannegan, and Mr. Allen opposed
the amendment of Mr. Colquitt ; and Mr. Breese de
dared that he did not wish the President to negotiate
further.—Mr. Allen, in the course of the debate, asserted
that the President's views and determination to assert
our title to the whole territory up to .34 40 had under-
gone no change.
Mr. Calhoun said, it was now evident, if not before,
that the point in controversy was, whether this question
should be settled by arms, or by negotiation and com-
promise. It was the most important question that had
ever come before the American people since the revolu-
tion. He dwelt on the importance of an early expression
of the opinion of the Senate upon it.
Mr. Cass said the resolutions could not take anything
from the constitutional pow 6r of the President. What
should we think if the British Parliament should propose
a compromise ? What right have we to suppose that
the British Government would heed their invitation ?
and if she did, would they ever agree to compromise on
the 49 ? Sir R. Peel's language was the most peculiar
and extraordinary specimen of diplomacy he ever met
with. If Sir R. Peel was sincere in his expressions, Ee
was bound to recal Mr. Pakenham. He had anticipated
difficulty when he saw the President's Message. His
fears had increased. Unless Great Britain should make
a more liberal offer than she had done, the difficulty
would never be sett': d.

The Senate adjourned to Un:day, March 2.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Advertiser says, " The rumour is current that Mr.
Crampton has brought out instructions to Mr. Paken-
ham, to reopen negotiitions by an offer of the 40th
parallel, the whole of the Vancouver's island, and the
navigation of the Columbia for twenty years.
" It is said that Mr. Polk will not take the responsi-
bility of accepting- the offer, but will submit it to the
Seria,!e for advice."

The steam-boat Saladan, from Nashville, in passing
down the river, came in collision, on the evening of the
13th ult., with the steam-boat Congress, going up, near
Pileher's Point. Thirty persons were killed by the col-
lision or subsequently drowncd.
There had been another tragedy at Richmond, be-
twcen Mr. Ritchie, of the Richmond Enquirer, a son of
Father Ritchie, of the Union, and Mr. Hamilton Plea-
sants, son of the former editor of the Richmond Whig.
The cause of the affray arose from some newspaper
paragraphs. Several shots were made, and then resort
was had to bowie knives. Mr. Pleasants was dreadfully
wounded, and was reported to be dead.
Another destructive fire had occurred at Vicksburg'',
and one at Memphis, Tenessce.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
4,000 bags, all to the trade, and without anychange in prices.
The market was steady, but quiet. Shares were in better
request, and firmer generally.
Messrs. Lamond's public sale of railway shares yester-
day afternoon, at the Hall of Commerce, was well attended,
and a very large business was done, decidedly more cor.ti-
deuce being shown. There were plenty of buyers, but it is
fair to observe, at very low prices. Shares which a few
days ago were totally unsaleable, moved off at this auction.
The Bank of England, on the six days to the 14th inst.,
was still augmenting its circulation and bullion, but the
other deposits and securities were greatly diminished
