The particulars of the passage of the Mis-
souri, are given, in brief in another column;
those Of the Cambria, which we have kindly
been permitted to copy from the notes Of
Sias E. Burroughs, Esq who came passenger
in the C. and is bearer of dispatches to our GO
vernment, which he conveys Immediately, and
in person, to Washington. The following are
his notes

Jan LIST, Isas, at O'Clock, p NJ, We LEFT Lverpoo
vi So passengers, and for four hours the Cambria
headed out of the Southern passage.
During all this time, however, there appear
in the southern sky which, to ths experienced
mariner denoted no rest for the morning watch
"Cl.uds were passing DER the sky,
With black and threatening eye"
Eight bells struck, and our noble captain quickly
walked the quarter deck in still and thoughtful mood
with his eyes occasionally turned to the southern hor
The course were then steering would, in few
hours clear from the coast Of Wales the ancient
Cambria and We should meet the storm without any
protecting barrier The powerful engines as they made
their revolutions seemed to say ready to do our
duty, and the Cambria to lift her head With animation
and SNUFF the gale 1t sweeping from the head
lands fthoss shores from which she received her name
aud to to her old friends with JOY her
route to New York
One bell struck, half past 8, p NJ, and Captain
Hsrrson's voice was heard sport your helm, hard .
portn
In few moments, running for the Northern
passage with all sails set, and the Cambria new away
from the southern storm like coy girl pursued by her
lover.
Hiberna now In turn, became our protector and the
Emerald Isle where much misery dwels, seemed to
above the waters to shield from the winds We
passed the bsy where the steamer Great Britain went
on shore, and many remarks made BY the pas
ssngers contrasting situation with that of those
who left Liverpool had done, animated by such
pleasing hopes and prosperity.
For thrtysix hours along he Irish coast when
We again met with the enemy, rolling from the
west which had successfully and pleasantly, ran
away from in the other channel.
Our captain could no longer permit the Cambria to
dance to the tune Of the Lad left behind me-" nor
further avoid the collision and the elements Of nature
which, from creation till the nineteenth century had
ruled undspued masters Of the North Atlantic, par
ticularly in the dreary month OF January had to be
Brappeu Win ana overcome tndt noDie Invention OF
combined powers which first conceived and put in
successful operation by the Of North America,
Fitch and his disciple Fulton There appeared dis
position on the rart of captain, the Cambria,
any board to avoid the struggle for the suprema
cy on the wildernessof waters' but all seemed imps
tient for the encounter.
The western point Of Ireland the larboard hand
sbaft the BEAM the engines walking OF ten revolu
tions land like hounds standing in the leash srsninR
the ar seemed struggling to be loosed for greater
speed, when the first startling and powerful pass
made by opponent In the most uncoureous and
abrupt manner, directly at the head and full In the
face, Of the Cambria.
Our bonpy boat~ was not, however, caught nap
ping, but fully her guard; and the beautiful manner
in which she parted the blow and dsdainfuy tossed it
many feet from her sdes drew forth the warmsst ap
plause.
As the military ohieftain when his first bataions
defeated up and concentrates his reserved forces
to agan renew the deadly conflict 70 the ocean called
forth her giant strength from the hidden deep and
rolling came, with the systematic march Of veteran To-
gions
Blow followed blow; which, with the roaring Of the
winds, the dsshng Of the ami the grooming strug
sss of our laborins engines showed plainly what war
for the supremacy OF the Western goiug on
and although this Cambria received the first blow yet
n Anglo-ssxon style, in every encounter, she gave
the last
Still with indignation burning,
He called his me ut taips from afar,
Still rpp.lled and still r. ps Hing,

To experienced eye, however It was soon evident
that the Cambria was more thu match for Der
petor and although the struggle cost her the loss OF
several revolutions stil she nobly held her way with
untring wings towards the land Of the setting sun
where warm hearts and happy homes, knew, were
anxiously waiting her arrival.
