DOUBLE SHEET. ork, Friday, Arrival of the Cambri. ‘The British steamship Cambria, Captain Shan- nen, arrived yesterday afternoon from Cork, Lre- land, whence she sailed on the 4th inst. She | brings the Targo of the Atlantic. The C. was | very heavily laden. It is stated in the Cork Ex- @miner that the Cambria was chartered for £3,000, | to bring out the cargo of the Atlantic, while the | freight list of the latter steamer amounted to £4,200, leaving the impression that the owners of the A. gained £1,200. Such is not the fact. The | Liverpool censignees of the Atlantic, in ordernot to detain her goods, as they had a right to do, till she should be repaired, immediately chartered the Cambrie, giving her owners the whole of the At- Jantic’s freight, and in addition to that a bonus of £3,000. This was done to give the goods to the | consignees in the United States at the earliest mo- | ment. Thus, instead of a gain of £1,200, the | owners of the Atlantic have lost her entire freight, and £3,000 besides; which is a total loss of $35,- 000 in money, but.a gain of $100,000 ia reputation | for enterprise and energy. This is the way to do business, and a line of steamships in such hands must go ehead Arrival of the Baitle and the Cambria—Later European News. ‘The steamers Baltic and Cambria, arrived at this port yesterday. The former left Liverpool on the afternoon of the Sth instant, and has made the shortest winter passage on record, it being, also, two days and a half shorter than that of the Africa, The Cambria, with the freight of the disabled At- antic, seiled from Cork on the 4th instant. The English Parliament opened im the usual way, with the Queen's speech, of which we gave an abstract on the arrival of the Africa. The en- ire speech, and other interesting English intelli- gence will be found given very fully in our columns. | There are several pots of considerable politi" n our Paris correspondence, and in extracts from he correspoadence of the London journal These have reference to the position of Louis Napoleon— that of Henry \., of France—known better as the Count of Chambord —and the progress of Mazzini, with respect to the proposed new revolution in Kaly. Louis Napoleon, it appears, has found his minis- try ready to second his wishes, in regard to a new dotation project in his favor, for some two milliong effrance. It has been all along suggested to our republican ideas—which limit our own President to salary of twenty-five thovesal dollars a year— that the dinner parties and balls at the Elysee must be paid for out of the capacious pocket of France. Seven or eight thousand francs, for a ball ence a week, form no small item of expenditure, and must soon help to swell the expenses of the President’s household. Imperial liberality mus; be met by imperial coste—and, therefore, so far from being surprised at the fact that Louis Napo- Jeon needs so much money, we are rather astonish ed that he requires so little. That little, however, it appears, has been cen'ed to him thus far. The National Ass mbly seems to stand in the position of a fluty-hearted father, who believes that he has 2n extravegent son, end whose pride will not re- Jax even the puree strings, whose looseness would be a luxury to hie own oflepring, and to thousands | areund him. In a political point of view, though, thie porition of affairs Jeads to other apprehensions, | unless we can believe that the new ministry will ultimately prevail with the National Assembly, and | obtain what they 80 much covet. That the money | must be forthcoming, sooner or later, every maa | is weil assured ; and the only question is, whether | the National Assembly will cecide to be obstinate, or the President of France shall be compelled to take some other measures and means for meeting the exigencies of the case. It is easy to imagine— and there is nothingtimprobable in such a fancy— that a pers: a the refasel togrant the money | can frame s for the advancement of Louis Na poleon to a more haughty, though, perhaps, more insecure place than he now holds. The move- | mente in relation to the Count of Chambord, on the pert of Austria, may be deemed a happy series | of diplomatic even ¢ bring ng about some grea decison that will protect France from political ia | te gues. The firmness of Louis Napoleos, ia some | of his recent ects, shows that he has the courage | 2! circumstances may force upon | him; and if hoetlity meets him in the popular branch of the government, he may plead France end her safety in extenuation of even his most start- ling decisions. Yct the future lies all in darkness Should Avetria break through the gloom, united | or fused into ome mtercet with the Count of | Chambord, the peace of the French repablie will be threatened, an¢ important events cannot but | spring from euch a state of things. Political con- to teke any eter jeetures, however, can do little towards predic- tion, uniers we con be fully convinced of the per- tuaacity of men who are placed as rulers over a people. All that can be done is to prepare the | mind for the poseibiities of the fature | Another Italian revolution appears to be near | @thand. We have often prepared our readers for the anticipation of another volcanic eroption of so- ciety, during the next eurnmer; and we have uni. formly and steadily represented Mazzini to be a | wan of uncommon mind and capacity His his tory, thus far, has” been 2 proud one; and to him and his compatricts mua IJtaly be indebted tor ber regeneration—if that regeweration is to come Oar columns state that he has plenty of money, | and that he ie preparing himself for the great work | to which he has devoted his life.

Should he once meet the French army of occupation he will re-write the story of their entrance into Italy with the point of his sword, and re-awaken throughout Italy the slumbering spirits who pant for the hour tet thall release them from Austrian fetters. That auy ene knows the point at which he will commence his work, we decidedly doubt; for Mazzini is one who keeps his own counsel; but whenever the hour arrives for the struggle, his name alone will make thousands of hearts leap into action, and the result will be with Providence. The army of liberation will be composed, we anticipate, of no common materials ; and should Austria dare to enter Switzerland, a most disastrous result will hang upon the movement. That soil is con- secrated to liberty, and an eatrance upon it by an arbitrary power will awake the sympathies, and, it may well be believed, the action, of thou- sands throughout the civilized world. With respect to the preparation of Italy for a revolution, there seems to be no question. Any one conversant with the spirit of her people, well knows the heart that is hidden under the silent tongue, and which will beat rapturously at the very first sound proclaiming to the world that the rivets are falling from the fetters of Austria. The French army have forced their way against the breasts of a liberated people, and have beld them till their limbs were bound again; but we mistake the temper and purposes of the patriots of Italy, if they permit any power, no matter what, or how greatthe sacrifice, to re-enslive them, should the Italian tri-color once more float beneath the blue skies of Rome. CrLEBRATION OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF WASHING: Ton’s Birtupay.—We give in another column a copy of the programme of the celebration which isto take place in this city to-morrow, on the occasion of the anniversary of the birthday of Gen. Washington. According to the arrangements that have been made, there is little doubt but that the ceremcny will be very imposing and very creditable to the city of New York. Now that the ice has been broken, we hope that juture anniversaries of the birthday of the Father of his Country will be duly and regularly celebra- ted in this city. We have not in our metro- polis, to our shame be it told, a monument worthy of that great map, but we flatter our- selves that our citizens possess as strong a reverence for bis memory, and as deep an appreciation of his devotion to his country, as is entertained by any other city or any o her part of the country. The ‘wnty-second of February should always be a holiday in the United States. I; should be celebrated as such to as great a de- gree asthe Fourth of July. Let it, therefore, be decided, that hereafter we shall celebrate in each | year, as it comes round, the twenty-second of February. Let us make it a day of rejoicing to- morrow especially. It Was the parting advice of the great Arverican patriot, contained ia his fare- well address to the American people, that saved the constitution and the republic, when on a recent occasion both were assailed by a band of ruthless fanatice. When all wes almost lost, Clay, Web- | ster, Cess, Foote, Dickinson, and other patriots, following the «example of the immortal Washing~ ton,'threw themselves in ‘he breach, and saved the country. Let, therefore, the anniversary of the | birthday of Washington hereafter be a land-mark | in the history of this city and of the country, and let us celebrate it with bonfires and i‘luminations» | as we do the Fouth of July, the natal day of the American republic. We would suggest to the public, the propriety of Suspending business during the procession that will traverse the city to-morrow. Several of the banks and insurance companies have given notice that | they will not transact business at all on that day. cal importance, which will be found duly noticed | We hope that all our public institutions will do | likewise, and that there will be a general suspen. sion of business during the ceremonies. Tue Passages or THE Ocean Steamtrs.—The | Baltic sailed from Liverpeo! at half past two o’clock P.M, on the Sth inst., and arrived at her dock at) New York at three quarters past eleven o'clock A. M, onthe 20th. The Cambria sailed from Cork at half past ten o’clock A. M., on the 4th, and arriv- ed at the dock in New York at four o’clock P. M., onthe 20thinst. The Pacitic arrived at Liverpool at half past ten o’clock A. M., on the 3d inst , hav- ing been detained at archor at the bar three hours enda half, for water to cross, and thirty hours lost in consequence of meeting with ice on the banks. Captain Comstock is entitled to the thanks of the community, for the promptitude which he displayed in delivering his mails. Our merchants had abun- dance of time to write ¢ eir correspondenee to all parts of the country before the closing of the mails at the Post Office, owing to Captain C's attention He was publicly thanked for doing 0, on board his ship, by Mr. Ropes and a number’ of other gentle- men Tue Ispta Ruenen Controversres.—We pub- lished in the columas of this paper, a short time since, a long article giving what we then supposed it to be—a true and correct history of the vast im- provements that have been made in the manufac- ture of India rubber within the !ae. twelve or four- teen years. In publishing that article we had not | the slightest wish or intention to damage the claims of any patentees or inventors; nor, on the other hand, to encourage any one in their systematic in- fringements on the mghts of others. Since that article was published we have received several communications, to ihe effect that some of our state- mente were incorrect—that we did injustice to some prominent patentees for discoveries in the process of manufacturing India rubber, by attributing their dis- the names of the real patenteee. If the article in question was of euch a tenor, we repeat, we didaot | | publish it for the purpose of damaging the righis of | | patentees, or with any intention of doing injustice to any one of them. We have received so many | communications on the subject, that if we were to publieh one we should have to publish all We have not space enovgh to do that. But we are sick of the whole of this India rubber controversy. Gur courts of justice are open to those who think them- seives aggrieved, and suits between patentees and others have been on the tapis for a number of years Judgment! Let the public have the facts and thus | end the controversy Tre Late Ovrrasce ix Boston.--President Fill- more, we learn, intended to eend in a special mee sage to Congress on the subject of the recent out- rage egainst the laws and rescue of a fugitive slave in Boston; but in consequence of the receipt of later intelligence from that ¢ has determined | to omit doing 80, under the belief, we suppose, that the Massachusetts authorities are disposed to assist the United States Marehal in enforcing the | without the necessity of any | Fogitive Slave bill, interference by the government «f the United States.

This conflicte so much with the House bili, that we fear there will be no eform during this session. nd, in other cases, withholding | Why are not those suits brought to trial and | They are inclined to adopt the suggestions \@ Ocean Steam Navigation—the Collins Line of Stcamsh'ps. It must be confessed that the fact of the Arctic and Baltic, of the Collins line of New York and Liverpool steamsh'ps not having left Liverpool with a sufficient quantity of coal, and a large portion of the public having entertained the most jloomy forebodings for the safety of the Atlantic, recently damaged, im a great measure, the reputation of that line in the estimation of the community, Many were inclined to believe that the British were cor- rect in saying that the Americans could not build steamships to encounter the Atlantic ocean during the boisterous season—that no matter how rapidly they sailed in summer, or how short their passages, they were not, from their large dimensions, suita- ble for encountering storms and hurricanes in win- ter. But when the causes of the detentions of these steamships are calmly investigated, what do they amount to? They amount to this, and n0 more—that from @ miscalculation as to the quantity of coal re- quired for a winter passage against opposing winds and seas, the Arctic and the Baltic got out of fuel when within six'y hours of their port of destination, and that the ma’n shaft of the Atlantic broke when that vessel was steaming in the face of the severest gale that has agitated the waters of the Atlantic ocean in many years. The first arose from a miscalculation, caused by the want of experience. Experience in this matter has been gained in such a manner as will effectu- ally obviate-hereafter,all detentions from a simular cause. We venture to say that never again will any vessel of the Collins line be detained on her passage on account of the fuel giving out. As to the second—the breaking ot the Atlantic’s shaft— that was an accident which could not have been foreseen, and to which all vessels propelled by meam are liable. With all our experience in building river boats, hardly a summer passes that the shafts of some of our magnificent floating pa- laces on the Hudsen river do not break. The same thing happens on the lakes, as well as on the Mississippi and other rivers. Similar casualties have befallen some of the steamships of the Cu- nard line. About the time that the Atlantic’sshaft was broken, the same part of the machinery of a British steamship plying between the cities of Glaegow and Dublin, likewise gave way. It is evident, therefore, that it is not an unusua! occur- rence for a steamship to break her shaft, and that all vessels are subject to it at any moment. On a review of all the facts and circumstances connected with these steamsh’ps in their late pas sages, we have no hesitation in saying that the line to which they belong is more popular now than it ever was with the ; ublic, and that more confidence in their etrength, safety, and sea-worthiness is enter. tained than there ever was. Ewery one is eatisfied that none of them will again be short of coal; and, on the other hand, ell are convinced that if any of | the accidents :hould occur to them, to wn ch all | steamships—no matter where built or to whom belonging~are liable, they can be relied upon for reaching port in safety by the aid of canvassalone In accomplishing a distance of eleven hundred miles in eleven days, by sails simply, the Atlantic proved herself to possess uncommonly fine sailiag qualities. Itis much to be doubted whether any vessel, except those belonging to the Collins line, could do so well under the same circumstances By nautical men of skill and experience, taat run is consfdered @ very great feat. In consequence of the immense outlay incurred in constructing these steamships, and considering the importance of maintaining them in the best run- ning order, the sum allowed by government for carrying the mails is entirely inadequate. We must encourage that and every other line of steam. ships, and promote the construction of additional lines, until we have a steam fleet equal to that of any other nation, and equivalent to the wants of the country. We have been ‘erced into a friendly rivalry with Great Britain for the supremacy of the seas; and heving accepted the gauntlet, we cannot retire from the contest without national disgrace The question now is, not exactly whether the Collins line shall exce) the Cunard line, but whether this country shall acknowledge that it is unable to com- pete with Great Britain ip ocean steam navigation, and strike its flag. All that the proprietors of the | Collins line ask, 18 to be placed on termsof equality | with the Cunard line; and we are well convinced | thatif our goverement weuld extend to them the seme facilities that are extended to the Cunard line | by the British government, we need have no fear ofthe result. The steamships of the Collins line have been proved io be equal to the struggle. Shall they be crip, led for the went of one or two hun- dred thousand dollars a year? Shall they be ren- dered unequal to the co for the want of a trifle over sixteen thouend dollarsa month? Is the re- putation of the country of such little account that we are willing to “‘ cry enough” after a single year, ina strogg'e with a nation who vauntingly styles herself the “mistress of the se: for superiority on an element which she claims is peculiarly her own? Forbid it patriotism! forbid it American feeling !
