own public affairs, and the excitement upon
the Corn Laws and the Irish Coercion Bill has
reached such pitch that it was expected Sir
Robert Peel would have to retire from his po-

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
WREcK OF THE CAMBRIA. The Royal Mail
Steamship Cambria, Capt Judkins, left Liver
pool on the 10Th Of April last. at p. M, and
arrived at Halifax on the lst inst. at noon, and
left again at p. m. She brought from 80 to
100 passengers to Halifax, and left about thir-
ty there. On Saturday night, about 20 mi
nutes to IL, 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 broadsde to the beach. |,
was then discovered by communication with
the shore, that she went ashore on the beach
off Truro, about 5 miles south of Highland
Light, Cape Cod, and heading south.
There was quite swell at the time, buff
tunately very calm. Every effort was made
to heave her off. About past O'Clock, the
Captain and passengers landed, took horses to
Plymouth, and then came to Boston by an ex-
press engine. At the latest accounts she re-
mained perfectly tight.
| There was but one newspaper received In
Boston, which was at the Merchants Ex-
change, to which all the press of that city had
equal access, consequently the slip received
contains but business sy nopsis of the news.
| The intelligence OF her arrival at Cape Cod
reached Boston at about O'Clock on Sunday
afternoon.
| The news by the arrival of the Cambria is
not important-and indeed the small interval
of time between the departure of the Great
Western and the Cambria, (eight days,) does
not admit of any very new and extended intelli-
gence.
Only one paper, Wilmer and Smiths Times,
has been received from the Cambria. This
was furnished to the Merchants News Room,
by G. B. Blake, Esq, one of the passengers.
| ENGLAND AND THE u. 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 Congressis not considered war
like; indeed some of the public writers profess
to see the best guarantee for the continuance
of peace, in the expense to which the country
will be put by arming for a conflict. Seventy
millions of dollars bestowed upon putting the
army and navy on footing for commencing
the emergency of the case, would induce every
man who contributed his quota to that as
founding sum to inquire into its necessity.

peace, but is ready for war.
Produce arrivals have been large.
