ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

The British and North American Royal Mail steam-
ship Cambria, Captain Miller, with advices from Boston
to the 16th instant, was telegraphed off Holyhead, at
2 30 p.m., yesterday (Monday); but owing to being short
of water at the Bar, her mails had not reached Liverpool
at the time of our going to press. We shall publish the
intelligence received by her directly after it reaches us.

THE EARL AND COUNTESS of DERBY and Lady
Emma Stanley have left town for St. Leonard's, near
Windsor, where they intend to pass the recess.

THE LIVERPOOL PILOTS.—NR. CARDWELL'S BILL.—
The Liverpool pilots have had meetings, during the last
week, on Mr. Cardwell's new Pilotage Bill, now before
parliament. They met again last evening in the Clarendon-
rooms, but we are unable to communicate the proceedings,
as our reporter, on applying for admission to the meeting,
was told that it was private, and that in consequence the
representatives of the press could not be admitted.
THE THEATRE-ROYAL, closed during Passion Week,
was re-opened last night with the French plays. The
performances commenced with Lockroy's comedy of
" Le Chevalier du Guet," and concluded with the "Vau-
deville of Catherine of Austerlitz." The other nights of
performance will be to-morrow, (Wednesday,) and Friday.
The performers are amongst the most distinguished on
the Parisian stage.

HER MAYESTY'S TIF.ATRE.—The question about this
establishment is now definitively settled. Mr. Frederick
Gye, director in chief of the Royal Italian Opera, has
become the lessee.—[This last assertion has been denied,
but there is no doubt some arrargemeut has been
come to.]
MR. ALDERMAN ALEXANDER TAYLOR, of Oldham,
destroyed himself on Wednesday morning by cutting his
throat with a razor. It is said that he had become a
violent political partisan at the last two elections.

A New PEER.—The title of Sir Thomas J. Burke,
Bart., M.P.. when raised to the Peerage, is, it is said,
to be Lord Killoran.

A CABINET COUNCIL was held at the Foreign Office,
Downing-street,. on Saturday. The Ministers present
were, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, Earl
Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Viscount Palmerston, the
Earl of Clarendon, the Duke of Newcastle, the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Sir Charles
Wood, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, and Sir William
Molesworth. The Council sat two hours and a half.
WORTH KNOWING.—To ACTT-MRS.—Since the inter-
national copyright between England and America was
signed at Washington and London, authors and owners
of copyright will be in a very different position than be-
fore. For instance, if you wanted to negotiate a reprint
with a publisher—call it A—he would say, " Oh, I admit
that your book has been highly successful in England--•
highly so ; but then there is a book, so my agent writes
me, which has been equally so in America, called 13;
Now, of course, I can get the copyright of it for nothing:
Well, if the author of B had gone to an American pub-
lisher and popped to him a similar question,. he would
have at once chopped him with the same intelligence
respecting the English book A; so that in neither case
does the author receive one penny. It is evident,. then,
that now the publisher in both cases will have to pay ;
they may exchange afterwards, but both must first own.
Mr. Howell wanted two American books for his serieet
and had to give in return the right to print two distinct
editions of " Floss's Adventures in Australia." It is
obvious that this is as it should be; and also that the
public should be aware that publishers, now, have to paY
for American copyrights.—Liverpool Mercury
LATEST

INTELLIGENCE.

MONDAY EVENING, MARen 28.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH

The political news from the continent is not important.
In Paris, the Eastern question appears to be considered as
settled.

GERMANY.—A large number of vessels have been
placed in a perilous position on the coast, near Cuxhaven,
by the immense masses of ice drifted out to sea from the
inland waters. Two steamers had put into Gluckstadt.
The cold was most severe, and the ice fast accumulating ;
nothing like it had been seen on that part of the coast for
some years. Higher up, towards the Sound, all navigation
is stopped.
I 'The Sun says that, in the Stock Exchange this morn-
ing, considerable sensation has been produced by the
report that the home government will. grant no more
charters to•colonial banks or other undertakings, a deter-
mination that might have been anticipated after thespeech
of the Duke of Newcastle, made a short time since in
parliament..

FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
Consols Buyers at par in the morning,.but,wanting sup-
port, declined before the close. The Railway market has a
flattish tendency; thin attendance of dealers., owing to the
Easter holidays, and few orders on public account. Gold
Mines, Land and Bank Shares dull at former quotations.
Foreign, with the exception of Sardinian, not so well sustained.
