From the Liverpool correspondent of the Manchetsr
Examinerl
Considerable excitement has prevailed here to day,
night OF the return of the American built steamship
Atlantic In danag condition to Cork, after having
been a. ,sa since the 18th gimo The greatest anxiety
how the agents Messrs Brown, Shipley L. Co, would
act in the matter and what extent of damage had been
sustained by the vessel With reference the former
we have to announce that the steamship Cambria be-
lsnging to the British and North American Royal
Man Steamship Company, has been chartered to pro-
coed to Cork, and from thence to New York and all
goods and passengers will be forwarded by her the
4th OF February subject of course to the
OF the shippers passengers All of the latter desiring
It, may receive back their passage money and proceed
by any other conveyance they choose Some disap
pontment has been expressed that the departure of
the Cam bria should be delayed until the 4th of next
month or that the agents did not at once despatch
their own vessel the Baltic in port but the fact
is that the Cambria could be got ready sooner and
the Baltic is in dock and in consequence of the neap
the Africa, will sail hence for New York on Saturday
next tie morrow, and the Atlantic's mail will it is
understood be forwarded by her 1t is babe that
there will be very great anxiety manifested on the
other eide Of the Atlantic for the ssfety the dis
abed steamer and as nearly five weeks will
eapse before any tidngs OF the accident can be
ceived in New York. Unfortunately no mail will be
despatched for America tomorrow
The Atlantic proved herself an excellent seaboat;
and it Is gratifying to learn that her hull has not
sustained the slightest injury She had 20 passengers
OF Captain Wett and bis officers on this occaion
From the Cork Examiner
We regret that the machinery of this vessel IL not
likely to be I.ctifed in this port 1t is understood
that ,he will be towed round to Liverpool, and her
machinery sent on to the Soho Works in Brmng CHAM,
to be repaired by the same parties who repaired the
zion. The accident resulted from fla in the iron
which could not have been foreseen and that might
have happened in smooth as in rough water The
reason Why the Cambria sent in place of the Baltic
to take the cargo Of the Atlantic is that the Baltic
ewing to the want OF sufficient water to float her.
From the Liver pool NALL
The accident TO the United States mail steamer
Atlantic is generally deplored an in making pass.
ing allusiop to the subject, we sannet but commend
the spirit Of Msssrs Brown, Shipley L. Co, who have
chartered the Cambria to proceed to New York with
the passengers and cargo Of the disabled vessel and
the noble generosity Of Mesrs. NJ Iver who, sinking
those differences which naturally supposed to exist
between rival companies, at placed disposal
of the American agents of Collins line. the only
steamer in port which could take the place Of the
Atlantic.
From the London r;me.
The news OF the fns steamer Atlantic which left Liver
pool for New York on the 2Sth of December, having
merry has caused much regret Fortunately, owing to
the period of the year, che had only "a passengers
gence che took out was commercially i'm oortant as
she sailed two days after the raising rate
from the time Of The up to
Cork she did not speak single vessel, and three
weekly mails have been despatched from this iids
since her departure, which will carry out the news
that she had sailed at her appointed day that mo-
thing bad been heard of her afterwards most pain.
i'm preston which will be strengt hened by the cir
that no steamer leaves Liver pool the
LIST Of February to report her appearance The sailing
qualities Of the ship haze been epideneed by TIE lime
IN Which she retraced her passage.
We cannot better conclude this narrative Of the
Atsnics accident than by to the joy which
the intelligence Of her safety created in this city on
Saturday evening. This we are enabled to do in
poetry, for the following on the subject were
THE ATLANTIC.
''Ehe'e safe ~ She's safe THAT yelcome shout
Rings through the evening air
The God Of Storms has shielded her
From ruins wrathful glare.
The st orm. cloud, with lie avalanche
or tempest, raging slid,
Nor old Atlantic, could not harm
Her young and darling child.
Thank G cd thank G cd that gallant ship
Still floats the upper air
Nor fire, nor I" thick ribbed Toe . hath rarr.d
The hope. that clustered there.
oh, never shall her glorious hulk
Yield to the N addened surge!
Old Gee an may but test thy strength
Ne'er howl thy requiem dirse!
And he Who guides the gallant West
What dropping hearts leap high,
All thankful that thou still art lett
To guard when danger q nigh
That bend in earnest prayer TO Him
Who stays dark sorrows fearful pail,
To the special Providence that wills
Even q eparrovs fall y
No Ariel tones shall sing thy knell
OF varied fsthoms deep;
Nor coral, nor tho sea nymphs shell
within thy huge ribs sleep;
But where the storm. cloud thundere Wild
High DER the foam tossed sea
still float upharmed. still brave the storm
