Sic., dic., dice At4 o'clock yesterday afternoon we received intelligence at} this office of the arrival of the steamship Cambria, not at Bostom, but as a wreck, having gone ashore in a thick fog, on Capo Cod, on Saturday night last. The Cambria had her fullcomplement of pas- sengers, all of whom, fortunately, it is expected, will be saved. When our agent left the wreck, bos ig a two had got ashore, one of them Mr. merchant of Boston. The intelligence of her arrival and unfortunate destiny, reached Boston at 4 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, and soon after our express started, and arrived at this city at4 o’clock yesterday after- noon, with the most melancholy and disasttous news that has reached us for many a day. Sreampoat Camsria Asnore on Caps Cop.— The steamship Cambria, Captain Judkins, left Liverpool on the 19th ult., and arrived at Halifax on the Ist inst., with 90 to 100 passengers—landed 20 at Halifax, and started for Boston. About 20 minutes to12 on Saturday night, the weather foggy, and the ship running at half speed, and about taking soundings, the ship struck on the beach of Truro, reversed, the anchors thrown out, and eve: about half tide when she struck, and the weather calm, though there was a considerable swell of the sea. Atthe last accounts she was heading south, and very little apprehension was felt for her safety. Geo. B. Blake, Esq. and Capt. Chester, two passengers, went ashore at Truro, procured horsesand rode to Plymouth, where they pro- cured an Express Engine, which brought them to Boston on Sunday at half past 4 P. M. Upon the arrival of the news of the position of the Cambria, at Boston, efforts were immediately made to send assistance to her. The steam tow- boat Robert B. Forbes commenced “firing up” at S o'clock, and left for Truro at about 7. It was ex- pected that she would reach the Cambria at about eleven o’clock Sunday night. The General Lincoln was also despatched for Truro early in the evening. An express was sent immediately to Hingham to direct the steamer Mayflower to proceed to the scene of tho disaster, aad render such assistance as might be necessary. We understand that in the two first named boats a very large force of seamen was sent down, that there might be no lack of manual strength. With these strenuous and prompt exertions, we trust the Cambria may be got off the beach with- out loss and without delay. This news ismuch more important than we had any rengon to expect by the present steamer: ‘The Inst message of Mr. Polk to Congress, on the Oregon question, was considered pacific. The great event is the attempt to assassinate Louis Philippe, and the terrible excitement in Frane _Itis genorally believed that his assassi- nation would have been the signal for a new re- volution in France, and the establishmont of a. republic. There is grent excitement in England on the Trish Coercion, and the English Corn bills. Ifthe first is passed, the other will be defented, and Sir Robert Peel wili be compelled to retire from the Ministry. A terriblo time is then expected, all over Great Britain. 4 Matters in Ireland were growing worse and worse. The accounts of the famine in that coun- try are truly deplorable. Narvaez had been driven out of Spain, in con- sequence of some disagreement between him and Christina, to the general joy of the people. Nothing later from India, Lord Brougham had been cutting a figure at Paris. The Hibernia arrived aut on the 1th. The packet ship Montezuma left on the Thurs- day previous for New York, with thirty passen- gers. A.wreck has been seen off Shoreham. In commercial affairs, we note an advance in the price of cotton. The Hibernia, which arrived out on the Mth, carried indisputable news of tho shortness of the cotton crop, and an advance of id ton a had been obtained. Money was still scarce, the best of r only being discounted at the regular sales, The com trade had slightly im- Ie , and there was rome stir in the iron mar- but business of almost every kind continued to feel the deadening effects of the present s nation. Sir Robert Peel the House, 1 had*taken an opportunity, in to claim credit for government for hav- ing ordered a suj of Indian to meet the necessities of the ee i pecgle in Ireland and England. He saidjthat hisfonly regret was that Geox demmanre not pa more, but Sab Z r y its unwillingness to interfere with the regulay course of business, some five miles from Highland Light, Cape Cod. The engines were exer- tion made to get her off, but without effect ; it was | Speculation was going on as to the fate of the tarift bill in the Ease of Lords. Lord Essex, | hitherto known as a great protectionist, had de- | clared for free trade and the mgasures of the | Ministry. Lord Stanley, who aspires to be Pre- mier, was to lead the opposition in the upper Uae. Trade in the manufacturing districts had slight- ly improved, but prices were without change. A number of cargoes of Indian corn had arriv- ed at Dublin within a few days, and every baker had ‘* Indian meal bread” for sale, and it was in great demand.

The King of Prugsia is desirous to remodel the despatch of the 29th of January, you took, and of the letter which you adaceuad to the American Secretary of State, for the purpose of ascertain’ clearly and authoritatively whether the Uni States Government woul harvee graye to admit the fy my of the principle ot arbitration in the mn question on any terms than those which they had already rejected. In thus acting, you have, in the most judicious and satisfactory manner, anticipated the instruc- tions which I was preparing to forward you on this subject. We have now nothing to do but to await Mr. Buchanan’s reply to your appeal to him, although | Icollect from your despatch that your proposal will certainly be refused, Should that reply, however, be of sucha nature as to give any ground of hope that the matter in dispute may be brought to an amicable issue by means of direct negotia- tion, I shall gladly avail myself of such an open- ing.

(Signed) ABERDEEN. 2 Zollverein treaty. Despatches from Tahiti were not very favorable tothe French. ‘The natives and Queen Pomare still held possession of the fiterior, and the French were confined to a small portion of the shore, where they were protected by entrenchments. Letters from Constantinople state that the Ab- bazes, an independent power of Circassia, had rejected the offers of reconciliation of Russia, and had declared for Shiek Schamyl. Tho printing establishment of Stevenson & Co., Edinburgh, which was also that of the University, has been destroyed by fire. The loss is immense, as the establishinent was celebrated for its cha- racters of all the Asiatic tongues, particularly the Chinese. Parciamantany.—The House of Commons met after the Enster recess, on the evening of Friday, when the coercion bill againcame up. Nothing of interest resulted. A bill has been introduced into Parliament to allow the unchartered railway companies to dis- solve and wind up. A bill was brought into the House of Commons to enable railroad companies which had not got their charters to dissolve and divide their money. Lord Stanley heads the opposition to Peel, and is fighting hard for the premiership. (From tho London Standard, March 18.) x In order to convey an idea of the interest excit- ed for this vessel’s arrival, we may mention that the New York papers had expresses from Halifax to New York at an expense of three thousand dol- lars. It was the first attempt ever made to run the news overland from this the first port at which the steamer touches. The Cambria did not beat the expresses, and was prevented being the he-- rald into Boston of the intglligence she had con- veyed across the Atlantic. nstantly on the Cambria’s dispatches pene Innded at ton, expresses were dispatched in directions, and it will soarcely be credited inEng- land, that the news from England was conveyed from Boston to New York,n distance of 250 miles, in seven hours 25 minutes. This was ‘achieved by the New York Herald—and we notice that most of the papers are honest in according to it the merit of having thus performed the most rapid express ever attempted in America. This express was entirely irrespective of that run by the other apers from Halifax. The Halifax express passed rough Boston in advance of the Boston express, but the latter was the victor into New York. Newsrarsn Purrery—Yankee vs. THs O1p Counrry.—What a wretchedly poor figure the newspaper puffery of this country cuts when com- with that of ourlively Brother Jonathan.— ‘ho Mrs. Caudle of Lord street, when she sits down to dilate upon her excessive wisdom and un- paralleled circulation, is but a puny driveller com- pared with the Mrs. Caudles of the other conti- nent, when they assume the boastfal vein. James Gordon Bennett beats poor Mercury at his favorite weapons. He is as immeasurably greater than our contemporary in the science of Bobadilism as the Rocky Mountains are greater than the largest potato that ever was exhibited in the Mercury’s window. Take the best bit of boasting our con- temporary ever perpetrated—take one of his “ pa- perand ahalf for sixpenny” brags ; and see how immeasurably Bennett leaves him behind in the following racy bit of bombast :—‘ This unprece- dented express was arranged and run throughout by Mr. L. Bigelow, of the Boston, Fitchburg and ontreal Express line. It was the fastest express ever run in the country, and cannot be beaten by any live Yankee. The whole running time be- tween the two cities, was seven hours and five minutes—distance two hundred and fifty miles.” There is actunlly poetry in the description. The feat of the New Yorker “‘ cannot be beaten by any live Yankeo”—thereby suggesting the ide that, if necessary, he could employ the disembodied spi- rits of dead Yankees in carrying his expresses.— Our contemporary at home is prosaic even in the inventive announcements which he makes of his extraordinary successes.—London Standard. England and the United States—The Ore- Questio: m mn. The Times mn the accounts from the United States by the Hibernia, to the inning of April, have excited a deal of attention. The mes- sage of Mr. Polk to Co is not considered war- like. Indeed, some of the onic writers profess to see the best guaranty for the continuance of eace, in the expense to which the country will te wut by arming for a conflict. Seventy millions of dollars bestowed upon putting the army and navy on a tet for commencing the emergency of the case, would induce every man who contri- buted his quota to that astonishing sum to inquire into its necessity. The following extracts from an article in the London Times, of the 18th ult., show that that paper does not look upon the line of 49° even as a certain line of agreement, and gives also the latest opinion which we find on this question: — * * * In the whole course of these negotia- tions, that which has changed most completely, is the claim set up by the Americans. In 1818 and 1826, the territory in dispute was expressly assert- ed and clearly understood, to be comprised be- tween the 42d and 49th degrees of latitude. As for the more northern tract between 49 and 54 40, we are not aware that the paramount claims of Britain to that part of it, were then called in question. The proposals for partition ran, between the mouth of the Columbia and the 49th degree, but§not beyond; and the American pleni- potentiaries unsuccessfully claimed the whole of that region, but no more. Since that time, and in their more recent discussions, they haye raised their demands; they have laid claim to the whole country; and then, ‘as if it were the farthest limits of condescension and concession, they revert to their former offer, the very same which they be- fore rejected. * * * They have raised a claim to the whole of Oregon, not with any expectation of acquiring the entire province, but in order to reconcile us to terms we have before declared to be inadmissible. But the truth is, that the bare 49th parallel, is to all intents and purposes, the same thing that it was twenty years ago. We intimated an opinion some time ago, that the 49th parallel ought conveniently to serve as the basis of an array ent ; but it is clear that such 2 proposal must be accompanied with more extensive conditions than those heretofore annex- ed to it by the Americans. It must leave the whole of Van Couver’s Island, the navigation and harbor of the Straits of Fuca, the free use of the Columbia and its northern branches down to the sen, and an indemnity or compensation to the Hudson’s Bay Company for the posts they would be called upon to surrender. We do not pretend to point out all the stipulations which it would be the part of n prudent and just policy to require as an equivalent for a concession so much below our original claims, and, as we firmly believe, our just ights. But the cession of the vacant soil might be itic and endurable, provided the private rights already long acquired and enjoyed by British sub- jects ‘were duly respected ; and they must, be- yettnele question, be protected by the wtimatum ol land. Between these two proposals lies the question of peace and war—nnrrowed ns these controver- sies always are ton small issuc; but, neverthe- loss, bi enough to swallow up the peace of the world. The moderate members of the Senate make the 49th parallel their “ fighting line.” Pre- sident Polk is evidently more inclined to lean to tho side of resistance tien of concession ; and on our side we cnn really discover no motive of rea- son or argument to justify us in any farther de- parture from the position assumed ee ago the British Government, and confirmed by the emphatic declarations of the Ministers of the Crown.

Sir—Since my preceding despatch of this day’s date was written, I have received your despatch we claim for ourselves, and that because experi- ence has convinced us thut what is good for on» people must pe.aoed for all. ‘e cannot, at the same time, disguise from our- selves the fact that both in the Hous of Respro sentatives, and in the Senate of Washington,thar> are many firebrands, who, to obtain a temporary popularity, would readily kindle the flames of dis- cord throughout the world. Among the Reprasan- tatives they are, unhappily, in a majority, but from the Senate we look for better things. are, we would fain hope, many statesmen thare, men who thoroughly understand the interssts of their own country, and are ever ready to proimoie them, and who are too wise not to perceive that no country can have any paramount interest, which is not founded on justice, and consistent with the welfare of other well-organized States. The civilized world is but one great common- wealth, which cannot proceed altogether without jarrings, because they who conduct the business of subordinate communities, (we mean in refer- ence to the whole,) are not sufficiently enlight- ened to know how to reconcile the good of their particular State with the good of all others. It is ignorance that produces war, which is but an at- tempt to adjust by force that which plain reason has failed to set right. The London Examiner says, England loves ofthe 5th of February, with its “inclosure, by which you put me in possession of the final rejec- tion by the United States government of our pro- osal of a reference of the Oregon question to ar- tration. There is, of course, no time before the depar- ture of the mail of this evening for the considera- tion of 80 serious a question as that which is in- volved in the President’s decision as now an- nounced. Iam, &c. ABERDEEN. (Signed) The Oregon question continues to be a fruitful source ef discussion with the British Liem of The speech of Mr. Webster, and the propriet settling the dispute upon the basis of 49, w much commented on. The London Times, bi some called the organ of Lord Aberdeen, though itis more Poles the mouth piece of the Hud- son’s Bay Company—is as bitter as ever in derid- ing and opposing the American title north of Co- lumbia river, and states that latitude 49 was as far as the original claim of the United States oan the ed, and that line had never been conceded by British statesmen. If conceded now, th claims the freedom of the Columbia, th x Vancouver’s Island, and the Straits of Fuca, with fullindemnity to the Hudson Bay Company for resigning their posts. 5 {From the London Sunday Tim We © It is with extreme satisfaction that jour bserye the prevalence of a better spirit in the 15 Dnals of the United States,as often as the relatioun etween that country and Great Britain come — der dis- cussion. Among those journals the New York Herald stands honorably distinguished. It de- sires, as all upright men on this side the Atlantic linewise do, the continuance of peace between the two countries; and not its continuance only, but its confirmation, by fresh acts of amity. this desire we at least most heartily concur. must not, however, be disguised that peace between two great states can never be sately reckoned on, unless it be founded on @ consciousness of justice being the object of both contracting partiés. So far as appears,Great Britain makes noclaim upon the United States which she does not at least ie lieve to be just, as must be evident from her wil- Tingness to have recourse to arbitration. This, in our opinion, shows that she entirely places her reliance on the goodness of her cause. She says, in fact, “‘Let us select an honest and disinterested man who may examine the matter in dispute,and decide between us, and whatever his award may be, we are ready to abide by it.” This, at any rate, is not the lan, of con- scious injustice, and we think that in order to stand fairly with the world, the United States should pursue the same course. Our friendly disposition towards that country is proved by nu- merous measures, but by none, perhaps, more clearly than by the projected new tariff of Sir Ro- bert Peel. It will place our commerce with the States on the best possible footing for them. We shall bestow on them all the benefits of a free trade with us, and if ten advantages accrue to fo- reigners from the passing of Sir Robert Peel’s mea. sure, nine of them, at least, will goto the United States. In its results, therefore, it may be called an American bill, though we shall derive from it as many advantages as the United States them- selves, but assuredly not more. We think, there- fore, with the New York Herald, that it is now time for the American government to meet us in the same spirit of friendship and conciliation, and to pass Mr. Walker’s bill, which will, it is expect. ed, be regarded by. the commercial and manufac- turing classes of this country with the same favor that Sir Robert Peel’s is regarded by the same classes in the United States. This isa sort of ri- valry from which no evil can spring to any coun- try. Neither is ita thing of which the most en- lightened nation ought to be ashamed, because to be first imsuch a cause argues at once the most enlarged philanthropy, and the most prudent ap- preciation of the interests of mankind, Let there be between us and the United States a friendly war of tariffs, and endeavors to sur- ass each other in liberality, commercial and po- itical, It is the only war that ought ever to be heard of betweenjthe great Western democracy and ourselves, hey are, politically speaking, our children, and have inherited our institutions, our laws, our language, our manners, and our religion. In some respects they have improved upon us—in others, perhaps, they have deterio- rated ; but in whatever respects they may be bet- ter or worse than we, no reason on earth exists why we should be enemies. Up to the very verge of national honor we should go, in order to pre- serve peace between states so closely related ; but further than that it would be an insult to soli- cit us to advance. We owe justice to all states with which we may be in amity, and to the Uni- ted States we owe something more on account of the ties of consanguinity ; but if we would com- mand the respect of America, or of any other country, we must preserve our honor intact. Mosi persons in Europe believed that when the knowle dre ofour liberal commercial policy should be circulatedj through the Southern and Western 3 of the Union, it would produce a very powerful effect on the question of peace or war, and this too, is the expectation of the most rea- sonable and enlightened persons in the New Eng- land States. They appear to think with us, that the destruction of monopoly never could have happened ata more opportune moment; because besides conferring contentment and plenty on the industrious classes of our own empire, it will strengthen the hands of our friends in the New World, and help very materially to enlarge the external field of our industry. The citizens of the United States are among our best customers, and will in all likelihood continue to be so, if we our- selves Ve rte wisely, and thus compel as it were the Washington cabinet to adhere to the rules of justice in its dealing with us. r All the educated and reasoning classes in the Union are decidedly friendly to Great Britain, and that not through any blind partiality, but because they understand that the best interests of the two countries are identical. the other hand, the ignorant, the passionate, and the prejudiced are filled with hostility towards us, because they per- sunde themselves that we are too erful, and that it would, therefore, be wo while to set aside the eternal law of justice, in order to do us injury, and thereby, ns they imagine, weaken us. But it isa most unfortunate thing for any state when the ignorant are permitted successfully to intermeddle with the concerns of peace and war. If statesmen have any uliar duties, jae in these matters is the chief of them, None but statesmen know properly what war is, or can re- alize to their own minds its horrors, and the inju- | rious legacies which it bequeaths to communities, without practically witnessing them. The pre- sent generation have been born and brought up in peace. To them war is but a tradition—a thing of which their fathers have spoken to them by their firesides just as vat might speck of any re- mote event of history. It is one thing, however, to hear thus of the struggle of nations, and ano- ther, totally different to ‘ing in all their fury. We are friends of peace, and confess it the more readily, in that we should be pron] the most strenuous advocates of war were it for by the honor and welfare of the country.

Tam rejoiced to have the pleasure of recording a con- tinuation of the loveliest weather I ever experienced. Aglance at the general result of the rpcent election will discover to you that the complexion of this State Convention will be varied. There will not be a majority of any grade of partizans, and this fect should be an oc- casion of the most lively satisfaction to patriots. It will be seen that no measures or propositions exclusively of a Partizan nature can be carried in such a body; e noble spirit of kindness and of generous and manly compro- mise will, necessarily, animate these men. ‘The consti- tution of the United States was adopted under circum- stances of like character. No particular faction was in- vested with the balance of power, as it is termed, and hence a spirit of harmony and concession was indispen- sible to ensure the perfection of the policy proposed to be pursued. Radicalism was defeated. end z cate conser. vatism distinguished their deliberations, and their conclusions. This Convention will be com of partizans called radicals, conservatives, whigs, anti-renters, and others. As no faction has a clear majori- ty; s0 the power and the dictation will be reposed in the whole, and so if any thing be accomplished, unity and harmony among these men must be secured.
