STEAMSHIP CAMBRA.-We observe disposinol
in several papers to censure the pursued bl
Captain Judklns. fthe steamship Cambria, for sal
ing without the mails. This is very unjust toward
Captain Judkins, for he could not detain his vesse
a single hour without incurring the censure Of th|
Board of Admiralty.


We have enqured into the matter, in consequence
Of the detention Of some Of our own papers, AMI
find that the commanders Of the Cunard line d
steamships are bound by certain rules laid dowI
for their guidance by the Admiralty. One Of thes(
is-that in no event shall the steamship be delayed
after her appointed hour Of sailing, unless the de
patches Of the British Minister do not arrive and
the British Minister alone has the power to detai1
her We consider this statement due to Captail
Judkins, for he himself expressed the greaies
anxiety for the mails to arrive, and went 80 far al
TO consult the Postmaster at Boston as to his opinion
whether the mails would arrive in two hours and 1
half-oftering to wait that length Of time Tor them
on his own responsibility. The Postmaster. know
ing that the Sound boat had anchored for entire
night IN the Sound, frankly informed Captain judi
kins that he did not think the mails by her would
reach Boston within the time mentioned Under
these circumstances, Captain Judkns reluctantly
sailed.


1t to be hoped that, hereafter, our merchants
and others sending letters by the steamer, WILL in
the winter season, forward the bulk Of their cores
pondence two days before the steamer sails, and
thus secure the conveyance of part Of their letters
