ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA,

BY this arrival we have our full files Of Lon-
don and Liverpool papers, TO the evening OF
the Sd and the morning OF the 4th inst, and al
so letters from our Foreign Correspondents.
There have been no very striking events TO
record since the last advices, but the session of
Parliament, and the opening OF the financial
and political projects for the year, bill the pa
pers with matter Of much interest. We have
given below an abstract Of the new tariff pro-
positions.
The French Ministry were sustained upon
the question OF the secret service money, which
was under discussion at the time OF sailing OF
the last steamer, by majority OF "a.
There had been several interesting debates
in the British Parliament, 10 which we shall
revert hereafter. On the night of the Sd inst,
questions were asked of Ministers in both
branches, with reference 10 this country. In
the House of Lords, Earl Clarendon asked of
Lord Aberdeen some explanation with regard
To our tariff which he said was not in accord
anGe with existing treaties, and operated very
prejudicely to British interests, because China
shawls, and other goods could be imported at a
much lower rate than similar goods from Eng
land to which the Earl OF Aberdeen replied
that the subject had engaged the serious atten-
ton of her Majesty's Ministers, and that con-
siderable correspondence had taken place re-
specting il between the governments OF the two
countries, but he was not prepared 10 say that
their representations had been favorably recev-
ell by the Government of the United States.
In the House Of Commons on the same night,
Mr. Roebuck asked Sir Robert Peel for full in
formation regarding the present state OF nego-
tations with the United States Government
on the Oregon question, justiiying his question
by the recent proceedings in Congress. Sir
Robert, in reply, refused to give the informa-
ton required, stating that her Majesty's Minis
tiers had not TO deal with the House OF Repre-
sentalives in the matter.
Rev. Sydney Smith died al his house in Lon
don on the evening of Feb ~. The Morning
Chronicle remarks upon the event that the
country has lost one Of the clearest and the witt
test Of its writers, and humanity has lost one

Sir Robert Peel's budget is ofgreat impor.
lance, and we devote large space to II. II
will be seen that he proposes to take the duty
of great many articles, including cotton,
wool. glass, coal, slaves, and upwards of four
hundred minor articles. Our London cores !
pondent remarks, that "Sr Robert PEEPS
recommendation is the same as II Parliament
had approved the proposed measures, for the :
Premier controls at present, large majority of
votes, and whatever he recommends must con-
sequently be carried triumphantly through both
branches of Parliament" He then gives sew
eral instances where this overwhelming major
ity had been given TO the Prrmier's measures.
In the proposed schedule Of reductions Of du-
ties on upwards Of fur hundred articles, on
which Sir Robert Peel proposes TO take the
present duty entirely off, we find the following
articles mentioned Ashes, bark, bones, brim-
stone, bristes, candlewick, canes, caoutchouc,
coals, coir rope, and junk, cotton yarn and
wool, feathers, flax, flower roots, grease, gun ,
stocks in the rough wood, hair, hemp, hides
