LIVERPOO r., Tout:STAY.
The packet-ship Rochester, Captain Britton, has arrived
from New York, bringing U 3 intelligence to the very late date
of the evening of the 21st.
By the Rochester we have news of the effect produced
America by the outward arriva of the steamer Cambric.
Her arrival was looked for with much' anxiety '; vessels had
been chartered by the New York newspapers to cruise for
vessels from Europe, and at the time of the Cambria reach'
ing no news from England had been received for thirtY-ene
days, and her advices extended over that unusually long
period of time. In order to convey an idea of tile inter°t
excited for this vessel's arrival, we may mention that tbe
NeW York papers had expresses from Halifax to New: Ift
at an expense of three thousand dollars. It was the 'rs,
,
attempt ever made to run the news overland from this tmB.,,
first port at which the steamer touches. The Cambria drd
not beat the expresses, and was prevented being the he

Atlantic.

Instantly on the Cambria's dispatches 'being land d it'
Boston, expresses were dispatched in all direction', an
will scarcely be credited in England that the 1103,00
England was conveyed from Boston to New York, a
of 250 miles, in seven hours twenty five minutes. eq..
