ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The royal mail steamship Cambria,
Captain Judklns, left Liverpool on the
18th of April last, at4 p. M, and arrlv-
ed at Halifax on the lst inst. at noon,
and left again at 4 p. m. She brought
from 90 to 100 passengers TO Halifax,
and left about 80 there. On Saturday
night, about twenty minutes to 10 o.
clock, the weather being foggy, the
boat running at half speed, and just
about being stopped for the purpose of
sounding, she touched slightly on the
bottom. She then canted broadside TO
the beach. 1t was then discovered by
communication with the shore that she
went ashore on the beach off Trure,
about five miles south of Highland
Light, Cape Cod, and heading south.
There was quite swell at the time,
but fortunately very calm. Every ef-
fort was made to heave her off. About
a quarter past a o'clock, the captain
and passengers landed, took horses to
Plymouth, and thence came here by an
express engine. AT the latest accounts
she remained perfectly tight.
The news by the arrival of the Cam
bria is not important-and indeed the
small interval of time between the de-
parture of the Great Western and the
Cambria, (eight days,) does not admit
Of any very new and extended intelll-
gence.
ENGLAND AND THE UNlTEp STATES
The Times says, the accounts from the
United States by the Hibernia, to the
beginning of April, have excited good
deal OF attention. The message Of Mr..
Polk to Congress Is not considered
warlike; indeed some of the public wri.
ters profess to see the best guarantee
for the continuance of peace in the ex.
pense to which the country will be put
by armng for u conflict. Seventy mil
lions of dollars bestowed upon putting
the army and navy on footing for com.
mencing the emergency of the case,
would induce every man who contrib
uted his quota to that astounding sum
to inquire into its necessity.
PARLIAMENTARY.--The House of Com
mons met after the Easter recess. on
the evening of Friday, when the coer.
cion bill again came up. Nothing ol
interest resulted.
Great excitement in England on the
Irish coercion and corn-laWs. Suppose
that Peel must retire. Business gen.
orally dull.
ARRIVALS OF coRN.-Several large
cargoes of Indian corn have arrived in
Dublin.
OREGON QUESTION. Nothing new
has transpired on this subject, and mat
ters remain in Stalu quo.
CoRN TRADE.-Since the Great Wes
tern sailed there has been an improved
demand for wheat, and the prices have
risen somewhat. In Liverpool, the corr
trade is better.
