now sprung up again from the southwest, and il
became necessary to heave the ship to for even
with moderate weather, it was evident to ali that
she could do nothing by the wind under canvas
At 9, AM, of the nth, large ship passed, bound
to the eastward; but she either did not see. or
took no notice OF our signal Of distress. At 10,
PM ater taking an accurate account Of stores on
board, and considering the apparent impossbility
of reaching home with the ship in her disabled
condition. the captain determined with the assent
OF bis officers and passengers, TO bear up for the
coast OF Europe, which was accordingly done.
From this time to the 22d day nothing of i'm
portance occurred We had following gales and
high seas, and the ship made an average distance
OF $50 miles per day, and in that interval ran 400
miles At 3 p NJ of the 22d she anchored in Cork
harbOr, which fact alone, when considering the
immense size Of the ship, her small spRrs, light
canvas, and heavy machinery, is sufficient TO
prove her a splendid sea boat, and must add, in
no small degree, to the reputation already &C
quired by her commander for prudence and sea
manship. In regard to the conduct of her passen-
gers under such trying circumstances too much
could scarcely be said. Suffice it that they bore
the misfortune with becoming forttude and cheer
fulness, and testified, on leaving her at Cork, as
much sympathy as those who have a more perma-
nent interest in the good old Atlantic. The At
laDtic had on board $50 tuns Of freight and con-
siderable quantity of specie, which the Cambria
was chartered to bring over, and probably sailed
from Cork on the 4th inst. direct for New-Y ork.-
Before the Africa left, arrangements were making
to tow the Atlantic to Liverpool, for the purpose

three months

From the Liverpool Albion.
Shortly after the account of the misfortune en-.
couniered by the Atlantic reached Liverpool in
charge OF the ships engineer and purser, who
were dispatched instantly from Queenstown to
this port by Capt West, reports gained currency
that her sister ship Baltic, which arrived in the
Mersey yesterday week, would be dispatched on
Saturday, with fresh mails, calling at Cork for
such OF the Atlantics passengers as remained
there, her cargo Of merchandise, &c. We under
stand, however, that, Ia consequence OF the Baltic
being nesped in her berth in the Huskisson Dock
her dispatch was impossible; and, consequently,
Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co. were compelled to
apply to Messrs. NJ liver, of the Royal Mail ser
vice, for the use Of their fine steamship Cambria.
We believe that the arrangement for this service
was readily completed, and an announcement
was shortly afterward issued that the Cambria
would leave Liverpool on Tuesday Ito morrow
for Cork, under charter, and, after receiving
freight, &c. from the Atlantic at Queenstown,
proceed TO New-York direct on Feb. 4. Several
of the AtanGic's passengers have, however, since
returned to Liverpool; and on Saturday her mails
also arrived at this port, having been dispatched
to Liverpool by Capt. West, the gallant and able
commander of the Atlantic, in order to secure
their transmission to New. York. without delay,
by the Royal mail steamer leaving here next Sat
urday. We may mention, as creditable fact
connected with the Royal Mail service, that the
steamship Cambria on Saturday evening was
completely ready for sea, although in the morning
she had been entirely dismanted. Various state
ments are ahoat relative to the sum paid by the
L. s. Company for the Cambrias charter some
assigning Il 0OO others $1,000, as the amount.
1t is at least certain that the loss to the U. s.
service will be great. 1t is understood that
Messrs. Brown have returned their charges to all
the passengers who took berths in the Atlantic.
Several brokers, we are informed, have found
reason to rejoice relative to the disaster; mas
much as, under a wrong appreciation Of the course
of cotton during January, they had written by
the Atlantic letters of very sanguine order,
which now, by the ships return, they arc en-
abled to revoke. duplicates not having been Tor
