TIE NEW STEAMSHIP CAMBRIA.

The steamship Cambria, OF the Anchor line, ar
rived at this port last week her first voyage which
she made in ten days and eighteen hours and will
sail for Glasgow to-day from pier 90 at the foot Of
Dey street. This vessel was built by Robert Duncan
Co., OF Port Glasgow, and is not only the most
commodious and handsome steamship on the line
but Is constructed, with the addition OF improve.
ments, for safety, speed convenience, cleanliness
and the general comfort Of passengers unknown in
most of the transatlantic vessels. That these ad-
vantages are appreciated is evident from the fact
that she carries out 100 cabin passengers,
the full number that can be accommodated, and
nearly hiIy have been obliged TO wait for another
vessel. The Cambria is commanded by Captain
James Craig, the commodore of the Anchor line,
who is assisted by the following stalr-w. Johnsone,
TOMBSTONE third officer; James w. Pennington,
SURGEON, and j. c. Brown, purser. The following
are her dimensions-T0tal length, 324 feet; BREADTH
ss leet; depth, from upper deck, 2S feet; gross
tonnage, 2, ,14o tons engines, 500 horsepower. Her
speed on her trial trip on the Clyde was II knots
IA statute miles per hour. She s certified to carry
700 passengers In the first and second cabins there
Is room for 1856 and in the steerage for 5l5 The
man man saoon is very handsomely, but not gau.
Oily fitted up. The sides are maple, inlaid
with teak and beautifully polished; the up.
hostery is first class and there Is an excellent piano
and select library. Special ARRANGEMENTS have
been made for the accommodation of ladies' There
s an elegantly furnished sitting room on the main
deck, and second cabin the upper deck for their
exclusive use. For gentlemen there Is very COM
iortable smoking room beside the wheelhouse. on
ments VIII be at once apparent to every person
has ever crossed the Atlantic. So great care has
been taken TO prevent accidents that 1t does not
seem possible for any disaster OF any kind to occur.
The hull and engines are in every respect first class
The screw is SO fitted that 1t can be detached with
comparative ease and without damage TO the ma
chinery or the vessel There seven boats

Improvement has been made In the machinery for
casting anchor, whereby the work can be done more
expeditousy and certainly and without the risk OF
breaking the chain.
The success of this line has been most signal, con-
sldering the fact that t had government subsidy
at its back. Two other steamships the Anglia and
the Australia being built for this line, which will
increase the Anchor line feet to twelve first class iron
