THE UNITED STATES
AND AIEXIC O.

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.
The British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Cambria, Captain Harrison, arrived here
this afternoon, with 46 passengers, 4,0001. in specie
on freight, and the semiamonthly mails from Canada
and the United States. The Cambria sailed from
New York on the 25th ult., and Halifax on the 28th.
Her news is therefore nine days later than that
brought by the Fidelia.
The United States steamer Herman, from New
York to Bremen, put into Halifax, with machinery
damaged, on the 28th ult. The Caledonia was at
Halifax on the 26th ult.
By the arrival of the Cambria we are in possession
of files of papers from New York, Philadelphia, Bal-
timore, Boston, Washington, Montreal, and Halifax,
which contain intelligence of much interest. Fol-
lowing the subjects in the order of their importance,
we shall first notice the effect produced by the Cam-
bria's news, which took out accounts of the French
Revolutiou.
The Cambria sailed from Liverpool for New York
on the 26th February, and carried out the first inti-
mation of the Revolution in France, the abdication of
Louis Philippe, and the formation of a republic in
that country. From a continued series of opposing
gales, her voyage was exceedingly protracted, and
she did not reach New York until the 18th, and no
sooner was it known that the Orleans dynasty
had fallen, the monarchy of France abruptly brought
to an end, and a Provisional Government declared,
than the utmost excitement prevailed all over the
city. Everywhere tile intelligence was received
with symptoms of the most unbounded delight,
joy, and satisfaction, by all parties and all classes.
Public meetings of the most enthusiastic and ex-
citing character have been held in New York,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere, to congratulate the
French on their victory. At one of the
many assemblages convened for that purpose,
one held at New York was rather singular
for its enthusiasm, and manifested an unusual
degree of zeal without discretion. A Colonel
Hart proposed to collect a large sum of money for
the purpose of forwarding Republicanism in Ireland.
The gallant colonel said he would keep the money
in America, and when the moment for action had
arrived, he would send it to Ireland in the shape of
brass cannon ! He proposed the collection of a
million of dollars! ! and he was confident it would be
realised !! I The report says that " dollars were here
handed to the Chairman in great profusion, some
giving five, others three, and so on till over one hun•
dred were collected 1"
The news also created great sensation in Washing-
ton, and the matter had been mentioned in Congress.
Mr. J. D. Cummings, of Ohio, having asked leave to
introduce a resolution in the House of Representa-
tives, expressive of sympathy with France in her
recent revolution in favour of a Republic, objections
having been made, leave was not granted. It is said
that the Cambria brings fresh instructions to the
Ministers in London and Paris, in order to meet the
ne w position of things in Europe.
PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.—The Ten Regiments
Bill bad at length passed the Senate. Tbat body has
appointed a committee to investigate and ascertain
the means by which the treaty with Mexico and the
secret correspondence recently become public in the
newspapers. The first correspondence with Mr.
Buchanan and his department, in relation to the ne-
gotiation with Mexico, which ended in the recent
treaty between Mr. Trist and General Scott, and
both these gentlemen and the department, had been
laid before Congress and debated. It shows that
General Scott and Mr. Trist in the early part of
the negotiation entertained no great love or respect
for each other ; but that they had become sworn
friends. The Senate had been for two days de-
bating the propriety of revealing the proceedings
of that body on the treaty with closed doors,
but had come to no conclusion. It was agreed
that an ambassador should be sent from Washington
to the Court of Rome, and General Shiels was named
for that office. General Cass had proposed in the
Senate to raise an additional force, in order to pre-
pare, if necessary, to force Mexico to accept the terms
of the treaty recently passed in that body. The
proceedings in the House of Representatives were un-
important.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.—Later advices from Mexico
had been received at New York, from which we learn
that there had been more guerilla fighting, the cap-
ture of the noted chief Jaranta, and the successful
issue of every affair in which the American troops
had been engaged. Two Mexican schooners had
been captured loaded with cocoa and other merchan-
dise. Their cargoes were valued at 16,000 dolls. In-
telligence has been received from Yucatan of some
horrible massacres.
GENERAL Naws.—The two great parties for the
Presidency had organized conventions to meet on the
24th of May and the 7th of June. Mr. Clay's pros-
pects were well spoken of. It is settled that Mr.
Van Buren would be brought forward, but had no
chance of success. The ship Oswego, Captain Gar-
rick, a new vessel, from Liverpool for New York,
with cargo and 327 passengers, had been totally lost
on the 12th of February, in long. 53 34 W. The
passengers were saved, but five of the crew and the
second officer were drowned.
CANADA.—The reform party is growing rapidly
throughout the provinces. Under the new tariff grain
and flour were to be admitted into that country free
for exportation. A gold mine was said to have been
discovered near Quebec, Canada. Out of the eighteen
grand jurors for Montreal, ten make their mark—they
cannot write.
The news of a commercial nature doe; not exhibit
much change from our last report. The intelligence
from France had produced no sensible effect on the
markets, which were dull. Prices of domestic pro-
duce were dull, and demand limited ; this was more
especially the case in respect to flour.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, CovENT-GARDEN.—Her
Majesty's box was occupied on Saturday evening by the
Countess of Jersey, Lady Clementina Villiers, and Lord

lIORRIELE ACClDENT.—Wednesday week a man,
in the employment of Mr. White, of Toghill Farm, in
the parish of Doynton, while occupied in cutting hay,
was precipitated to the ground, and falling upon the hay-
knife he was using, the instrument passed completely
through his body. His death was instantaneous.—Bath

Combettes, terrainated on the 4th before the Court of
Assize of the Haute-Garonne. The prisoner was found
guilty, but the verdict was attended with a declaration
of extenuating circumstances, and consequently he was
not condemned to death. His sentence is imprison-
ment for life with hard laboar, to stand on the pillory,
and to pay the costs of tho prosecution. Leotade heat:d
his sentence without manifesting any emotion. The
President of the Tribunal announced that it would
decide upon the civil action for damages against the
establishment of the frores without the intervention of
the jury. The arguments of counsel on this part were
fixt.d to be heard in a week.
ARRANGEMENT OP THE COMMITTEE-ROOMS IN THE
NEW HousE OF COMMONS.—These rooms are, perhaps,
in their present state, scarcely open to criticism ; but
we may as well, while they are incomplete, suggest that,
in finishing them, attention should be paid to rendering
them well adapted for the auditory which they will
often contain. At present, with bare, hard walls, the
reverberation of sound in them often renders the loudest
and clearest speakers
