Ply of the New York Herald of yesterday morn
ing, from which we copy the frllowing:
Upon the arrival of the news of the position
of the Cambria, at Boston, efforts were imme-
diatey made to send assistance to her. The
steam tow-boat Robert B. Forbes commenced
"firing up" at 5 o'clock, and left for Truro at
about I. 1t was expected that she would reach
the Cambria at about ii O'Clock on Sunday
night.
The Gen. Lincoln was also despatched for
Truro early in the evening.
An express was sent Immediately to Hing
ham to direct the steamer Mayflower to pro-
coed to the scene Of disaster, and render such
assistance as might be necessary. We under
stand that in the two first named boats very
large force of seamen was sent down, that
there might be no lack of manual strength.
With these strenuous and prompt exertons,
we trust the Cambria may be got off the beach
without loss and without delay.
