The steamer Hibernia was to have lett Liverpool
yesterday noon for Halifax and Boston, and cannot,
therefore, be expected TO arrive before the 18th or
18th inst.-thirteen or fourteen days hence. This
will give the above packets fair passages to arrive
before we receive her news; and March is generally
the most favorable months for trips to the west
ward.
The news, however, to be brought by them may
not be of much importance. But we shall see.

STEAMSHIP CAMBRA.-We observe disposiuo1
in several papers to censure the course pursued b
Captain Judklns. the steamship Cambria, for sal
ing without the mails This is very unjust toward
Captain Judkins, for he could not detain his vess
a single hour without mourning the censure Of TIL
Board of Admiralty.
We have enquired into the matter, in consequence
Of the detention of some OF our own papers, an{
find that the commanders of the Cunard line d
steamships are bound by certain rules laid dow1
for their guidance by the Admiralty. One Of thes{
is-that in no event shall the steamship be delayed
after her appointed hour Of sailing, unless the de
patches Of the British Minister do not arrive and
the British Minister alone has the power to detail
her. We consider this statement due to Captail
Judkins, for he himself expressed the Creates
anxiety for the mails to arrive, and went far Al
to consult the Postmaster at Boston to his opinion
whether the mails would arrive in two hours and I
half-ofering to wait that length of time tor them
on his own responsibility. The Postmaster, know
ing that the Sound boat had anchored for an entire
night In the Sound, frankly informed Captain judi
kins that he did not think the mails by her would
reach Boston within the time mentioned Unde1

in the strongest amer the general principles and
position of the party and the first object will be,
if there iseeny chance or possibility to accomplish
it, to reverse the late decision the presidential
question which, by the eccentric movements OF
Birney, was given by minority Of the people in
1874 That election is considered, by the leaders of
the opposition, an unfair test OF the popular SEN
ument in this country; and it Is believed that
nothing but justice and fairness point out the pro-
priety of another run between Polk and Clay, in
order to test fully before the people, the capacity and
popularity Of each The renewal Of this contest,
with the changes Of public opinion, and the new
issues affecting our foreign policy, would certainly
present one of the most interesting contests that
ever took place in this country. And it would APP
pear-from the developments of the last few weeks,
and the position OF Mr.. Polk with his party, and,
also, the recent movements on the part OF some
western wings in relation to Mr.. Clay-that this
course has been determined upon, without any
reference to convention, to be held at Baltimore
or any where else.
II this rev idea of trying again the sense OF the
people, in a contest between Messrs. Polk and
Clay, should prevail, it will have the effect to
postpone and lay aside all the other candidates
the last two or three months, in Congress, have
produced disastrous effects on the Legislation OF the
country, affecting its position in reference to foreign
nations. There cen be no doubt now, that II would
have been wise conduct, in both the democratic and
whig parties in Congress, to have calmly and tenn
peratey come forth at the commencement OF the
session, and to have supported the Oregon measures
Of MIR. Polk, without any division or party action.
The country, generally, approved Of the Oregon ne
EQUATIONS Of Mr.. Polk. Yet, while we were in an
extraordinary position before the world and in the
very crisis OF honor and success, on the Oregon
question, the democrats in Congress were LED astray
and paraly zed the Oregon movement. and, this Is
caused principally by the influence Of the Presden-
tiaI aspirations, sprngmg into existence from that
party, and mainly, upon the ground that MIR.
Polk was to be no candidate for the next election.
The opposition party, finding the administration
party divided amongst themselves, very naturally
followed so bad an example, and accordingly started
in the same direction, each forming eotces for the

MY BROTHERS PICTURE

II hangs against the cottage WALL
And on It Oft gaze,
While faithful memory doth recall
The scenes of by gone days.
What power these lifeless things possess,
TO take the spirit back,
With sad or joyous step 10 press
Some long forgotten track
while gaze, change doth seem
TO come upon this face
And fancy, like pleasing dream,
Clothes ii with life and grace;
The eyes beam me bright and clear.
Healh's hue is on the cheek
And now the pared lips appear
As it about 10 speak.

Within our happy home
Again we mingle in our plays,
Again together roam
Though mary Childish joys are gone.
And many scenes forgot
The memory of brothers love-
U that deparieth not.
see thee, as in after years,
In all thy youthful pride,
And still thy much loved form appears
TO nger near my sides
My hand is sezed-I feel the thrill
Thy fond grasp doth impart,
II tells that years have failed TO chill
The kindness of thy heart
The scene is changed-l view thee now
In all thy manly prime
The look mature is on thy brow
Which marks the flight of time;
On every hand new pleasures rise,
New friendships, too, abound;
Aud OF my youthful friends and Joys.
How very few found.
But though new joys and friends may throng,
And seek to fill thy mlnd
brothers love, unchanged and strong,
Doth there remain enShrined
And will remain have no fears
That il will ever flee,
Love cherished through long weary wears.
Still cherished, sure, will be.
All, tits in fancy that see
Thy foIm and face again
For widely Sundered now are we,
And thus we long have been
But It's not fancy makes my heart
AT thought Of thee to thrill;
Nor space nor time spirits part
Thou ant my brother still
Sta gers, with careless lone, inquire
Whose picture this may be,
Nor think the llfeess miniature
Can be SO dear TO me;
But yet, against the cottage wall
Shall it retain its place
And oil thy form and love recall,
And tell of by-gone days.
