Loaa a t Life on Buard of KmlKrant Vckaels. Tbe frequency and extent of the loss ot life, which occurs every year on board of the emigrant vessels bound to our shores from all parts of Europe, ought to arouse the attention of the community to tske some measures to diminish the aumber and mitigate the horrors of these casualties. This is a duty which comes home to every one who has a heart capable ot sympathizing with the misery ot his fellow creatures, and in a more especial manner to that class of our citizens the emigrants who have the misfortune to endure such dreadful sufferings. An an instance of these casualties, if such borrors can be so described, we would call public attention to the case of the ship Cambria, which put in during the early part of last week to the Delaware breakwater. This wan a passenger vessel, bound to New York, from Londonderry, hhe wis out thirteen weeks, and was almost entirely destitute of provisions and water when she ranched these shores. Fiftyseven pantvgert had dud on. tht passage, and seven snore tcere buried on shore upon tht arrival of tht skip. Such were the brief particulars concerning thia easel, which were communicated to us over the telegraphic wires from Philadelphia; but what a history of human woe is compressed into these few lines. Who can realise the horrific scenes that were to be witnessed on board of this floating charnel house t What an agonizing and appalling spectacle the unfortunate creatures must have presented on their arrival! We have received no further intelligence respecting this vessel; and, therefore, can say nothing as to the cause of so frighiful a sa crifice of human life. We know not whether it ia to be set down to fever, or famine, or cholera. We only know the fact that thirteen week# ago, sixty-four human beings set sail for oar shores, oa board this vessel, in the enjoyment of perfect health and strength, and that they all found a watery grave, with the exception of seven, who survived sufficiently long to find their last resting ( lace on the banks of the Delaware. This, however, is anly one case out of many which occur every year; yet so thoroughly insensate have the masses of our people become, and ao completely absorbed in their various pursuits in life, that it scarcely gave rise to a single emotion of any kind. We have not seen a solitary comment upon it in any paper. What a pity those illfated emigrants had not the good fortune to be born blacks! What eloquent indignation would have resounded throughout the land, from the platforms of the Tabernacle, and the various other rendezvous of the jot diuint benevolent and humane 1 New England would be in a flame, far and wide, and nothing short of the blood of those by whose instru. mentality or neglect these horrors occurred, would have appeased the outraged feelings of our saintly sympathizers The unfortunate victims, however, happened to be white men and women, and did not sail from Africa, but from a vulgar and unsentimental pott in the north of Ireland. It would appear, therefore, to be a most wasteful expenditure of the public sympathy, to extend any portioa of it to such unwoiihy subjects. It is not our intention, in our present state of ignorance of the facts, to throw any blame on the owners or officers of the Cambria. We know nothing of the particulars, and therefore cannot say where the blame, if any, is justly due. One thing, however, is very certain. An enormous amount of human life is annually sacrificed on board of these emigrant vessels, from causes which we believe might, with a little care and foresight, be guarded against. Thia subject has been too much neglected on both aides of the Atlantic. Owners and char" tereraof vessels have been allowed too much scope for the exercise of their selfishness and inhumanity; and the consequence has been,that hundredsof vessel* have been employed in the passenger traffic, which were not Beaworthy ; and crowds of humaa beings have been stowed away in the holds of these vessels, *o as to present a vivid, and alas, in many esses, a too faithful representation of the black hols of Calcutta. Without ventilation?without tegulations for cleanliness? without any of the taceasary constituents of health or comfort? maay of these emigrant vessels are fitted out solely with a view to the advantage of the emigration egents who despatch them. According to an act tecenlly passed m the British Parliament, it i> Bade imperative that a>l vessels cartying steerage passengers should have good cooking accommodation, proper ventilation, Sec , Aec , and that each paaaenger should be provided duriog the voyage with two |>ounds of oatmeal, one pound and a halt of btacuit, one pound of flour, one pound of rice, one pomad of peas, one pound of pork, vinegar, <Vc., dee., per week. Whether the Cambria was so fitted out, we are unable to say; but we think it is the dvty of the British government to have a thorough investigation made into the matter, it ta but too often the case that the British emigration genu, who are stationed by that government at tho various points of embarkation, are mere nonentities if not complete tools in the hands of the merchants and ship ttgents. Should It turn out that thin awful sacrifice of human life has been owing to any collusion between them, we cannot regard theno in any other light than wholesale murderers. In our present ignorance of all the particulars,we know not who is to blame, or if there be any one; but there ought to be a full investigation into the cane j and if there be no authority here to make sucb an investigation on board a British vessel at present, a bill should at once be brought intoCungrona, investing our authorities with such power. The enormous amount of human life annually sacrificed in the passage from Europe to this country is incredible; while in many cases the hor. rers endured hy the survivors are little short of those on "the middle passage." Their existence I b. is a irproach to cir humanity, and to the civilization of the age ; and strange as it may seem, th<ur frequency and proximity have positively deprived them of that wholesopie horror which, if properly aroused, would at once take earnest and decided measures to put an end to them, and to provide an efficient remedy. We 6hall have to wait, in a 1 probability, till a cargo of blacks is declmited, before any action is taken. A freight of damaged dry goods would elicit more sympathy and remark at pirsent, among our humane population and "our best possible instructors," than the total loss of any "human" freight that ever started for these shores. Since the above was written, we have ae n a statement in a Baltimore paper which presents the cast in even a worse light. It is stated that : ? " The report of the British ship Cambria, Capt. Hail, at the Delaware breakwater, in thiiteen weeks from Londonderry, was Inoorreot, (the error originated with the telegraph ) She bad only bad thirty day* passage. The faele of the royaae are as follows:?She sailed from Liverpool. Decembers, bound to New York, but taking the northern peerage encountered galea and a rough sea. wbloh compelled her to put Into Londonderry, where ehe arrived en the 23d Deoember. and was detained there repairing until about the 29th January, and airived at the Delaware en the 20th February." Pickpockets and Thieves at Washington.? The newspapers have published special warnings, during the last lew weeks, to the hi-nest men who may visit Washington during the inauguration, in relation to the crowds of pickpockets and thieves who frequent that locality at such a celebration. During even the progress of the President elect from llaton llouge to the capital, he has been followed by those harpies, and various accounts have been published of the depredations committed on the unthinking people, who, with money in their pockets, pressed on in 'the crowd, to join ir the applause of the moment. The warning given about those characters is very good as far as it sees, but it should be extended a little further. In addition to the ordinary or common place [pickpockets and thieves who make it a point to be at Washington at inauguration time, there is another class of pickpockets and thieves, who, with more pretensions to honesty than the otheis can lay claim to, frequent the same place and mingle in the same crowd. At every change of dynasty, Washington is filled by crowds of office-beggars, many of whom are but little better than pickpockets and thieves. To be sure they do not go to work openly, and put their hands into tne un-open pocKeis 01 visiters to tne capital. Their purpose is of a different character. Thsy wish to ride the pockets ot that old simpleton Uncle !Sam. For many years past the democrats have had possession of the old gentleman's pockets, and have extracted many millions of dollars therefrom ; and now it is probable that a new set of leeches will try their luck, and with a hunger of half a century on them; we can well imagine what an appetite they will have for the spoils which they are in pursuit of. But they are pickpockets, and General Taylor must beware of them. Violation of thr Grave.?Every now and then i we hear of some local popular excitement occasioned by the discovery of a violation of the sanctity of the tomb. Not lcng since, a very considerable exacerbation i public teeling was manilested in Pittsburgh aim n ighborhood, on account of an occurrence of s kind. All this is quite natural. Mankinc n all stages of civilization' have discovered rupulous regard for the inviolability of the ve. Nor is it at all to be desired mat tin, i ling should lose any of Us strength or sanctity. But we must not, on this account, yield to the vulgar clamor against the dissecting room. The claims of anatomical science must not be disregarded. The study of anatomy has conferred incalculable benefits on humanity. Proper legal provision should be made for the supply of subjects. It is the prevalence and power cf prejudice and ignorance on this subject which lead to the violation of the tomb. We see no reason why the bodies of those who die in our hospitals and alms houses, and all others which ' are not claimed by relatives, should not be appropriated to the schools of anatomy. In this way heie would be an adequate supply of materials I for the anatomist, and the feelings of the living would not be wonnded. As it is, until some legal provision be made, the robbery of the grave will undoubtedly continue, in spite of all that can be done to prevent it. Thk Latest from Bik.nos Ayres.?The favorite bark Mason Barney, Capt. Langston, late Scott, (who remained at Buenos Ayres,) arrived off the Hook on Sunday night, and reached the city the following morning. She sailed from Buenos Ayres on the 2-ltn of December, and brings us letters and papers to that date. We learn that Captain Scott had the misfortune to break his leg, by falling from a horse, ? hile on a visit to a friend, a few miles lrom Buenos Ayres, and in consequence of which he was obliged to remain at Buenos Ayres. When the M. B. sailed he was doing well, and expected to be able to walk in about two weeks from that time. There is no very important news. We perceive that the Board of Health of Buenos Ayres were taking all care to instruct the people by means of official notices, as to the best way of living, in crder to avoid the Asiatic cholera, which I they were apprehensive would reach there.

The Buenot Arytt Packet, of the 23d of December, gives the following The government of Kntrerios, following tbs example est by that of Buenos Ayres, bu decreed the total abolition of the ordinary carnival, and also of another, established by the preoedlng administration, to oelebrate the pesos with France In 1840?the latter to be substituted by the ceremony of adjudging premiums to the widows, orphans, and Indigent relatives or those who have fallen in the war against the Anglo-Freaoh intervention and Unitarian faotlon.

This new steamship la Intended to ply dlrtotly from the Broomlelsw. Latbe from Brazil?The brig Rainbow, Capt. Mansfield, arrived yesterday morning from Rio Janeiro, having left that port on the 3d January, being nine days Inter. The Pacific mail steamship Oregon, Capt. Pierson, which left this port on theHth December, was going mio Rie Janeiro as the brig Rainbow came out, making a passage of twenty-six days, or about the same time as the California. The steamship Massachusetts, Capt. Wood, and ship Iowa, Capt. Deming, sailed on the 2d January for California, and as they went out of the harbor, they weie saluted by the frigate Brandy wine, Com. Storer. When Capt. M. left, the brig Flora, of Baltimore, was attempting to get out of the harbor, past the American flest, and make her way to the coast of Africa. The commodore was determined to take her if she persisted in going out; he had guard boats rowing round her at night, and the brig Perry moored outside of her. There were a number of vessels intending to go to the coast, but the Commodore had frustrated their plans, and they had given them up. There was an over stock of flour in market, and no sales. The ship Columbia, of Boston, was taking in. There were many German vessels in port, taking freights very low; two large Bremen ships had been taken up to go round to Valparaiso, to lead at low rates. There were but few Amen can vessels in port. Freight was dull, say 55 cents per bag for coffee to the United States. In addition to (the above, we find the following n an English paper, received by the Europa:? The brig Hero has arrived. She sailed from Pernambuoo on the *Jih of January. The distui bancea which previous advloes had stated ' o have broken out In the interior were not completely suppressed. On the 8tb and 9th of January numbers of soldlsrs, wbo had gone to assist In quelling the disturbances, bad been brought Into Pernambuco severely wounded. They were sent to the hospitals, In order to undergo the cure of their wounds. In oonsequenoe of this state of things, the English residents at Perriaiiibuco, feeling somewhat uneasy lest the rebels might approach to their vicinity, bad made a formal request to the Commander of the English brig < f war Greoian, to remain theic for the present, which vtas done As It was the Carnival season, business was at a stand still.

Steam and Magnetism.?Tha Europa's news was published in the Charleston (S. C.) papers of Friday mternoon last. Theatrical and Musical. Bowebv The.the ?This house was well attended 'aat evening, notwithstanding the Inclement weather which prevailed. It was well worth going through the storm to witness the performance*, whloh were done in that neat and elegant style for whloh the Bowery oomnanv are so famous nowadays: Indeed, a bet tt-r ccmpany for the enaetlng of all kinds of dramatio entertainments baa never been got together at thli bouse The new pleee, the ' Mill of Aldervon," proved highly snoceestul. and was much applauded?Hall, Steven*, Jordan and Winane, not forgetting charming little Mies K Denln and Mlea Wemju, all playing moat satisfactorily. To-night, we expeot there will be an Immense bouse, as quite a novelty will be produoed. Messrs. Thomas Hyer. Thompson and Winrow, whose names are well known to fame abont these times, have been engaged for a short time, and will appear In dra matto entertainments well caloulated to exhibit their peoullar style of noting. The extravagansa of ' Tom and Jerry" is the pleoe In whloh they will this evening appear; and the celebrated boxing scenes whloh form a prominent feature in this pleoe, will bs enaeted most scientifically by them The oomedy of ' Naval Engagements," and the drama of the "Mill of Aldervon," will form the remainder of the entertainments. Broadway Thbatrb. ? '-Kate Wood hull, or the Trice of Liberty," was sgaln performed last evening at this elegant theatre. The gloom, misery, and terror of the prison-ship soene were rendered still more striking by the excellent acting of Mr. Moerhouae. The dlvertisement, in which the brothers Martinettl appeared, was very well received Their performances are truly wonderful The new faroe of "Slasher and Crasher" created much merriment. The entertainments of the evening ooncluded with the wonderful asoenston or pjrtmia mgo* 01 iae iwo DroiDcri Niriiisill, AQd Mtdine Marilnettl, from tbe stage to the gallery. They were warmly applauded. National Theatre.?The oparatlo drama of tha Child of the Regiment" was well played laet evening, Mtu Meetayer showing much taste and not a little skill la the performance ef the part ef Madeline, the ohild of the 21st. Her execution of the famous Salut a la Pranct was very respectable indeed; and many an artist who makes muca more pretentions to soienoe than Miss M., I would find| It no easy task to e<iual her. '* Mose In California" la as attractive as ever. The announcement of this piece, on the bills, Is as witty a description of the excitement caused by this piece as we have read for a long time. The comedy ef '* Sweethearts and Wives" concluded the performances last evening. The same hill will be repeated to-night. We see several new burlesques underlined at this theatre; among them is one called "Joeey, the Spartan," which is said to be very funny Indeed; but the other one, oalled " Tom and Jemmy," founded, we presume, on late exoiting events, will no doubt prove a hit. There Is plenty of room for a first rate burlesque to be made on the events connected with tbe late doings, sayings, and notions of the famous Tom and Jemmy of the day. Burton's Theatre.?The comedy of the " Fast Man" was repeated last night at this plaoe of entertain, ment, and again met with a warm reoeptlon. This was followed by a new comloal original musical extravagansa, entitled "The King of the Peaoooks." Miss Chapman, Mr Brougham, and Mr. Johnston exerted their peculiar talents In this line, with great effect; but we cannot ray that the piece Itself was received with much applause. The scenery is very beautiful, and the Incidents are amusing and varied; but we very much doubt whether the allusions and Aon matt he sufficiently intelligible In our soolal atmosphere. " Lord Lovell," " All in tbe Downs," no., fco., may do ! very well for an English audience; but we fear they i will ' loose their sweetness on the desert air," when sung on this side of tbe Atlantis. We shall forbear saying mere till we see the extravaganza another time. American Circus.?A very fashionable audlenoe nightly attends this fine resort of amusement, and numsrous plaudits show very well that tha entertain, mrntsare fully satisfactory to tbe publio who patronise this place. The " Peny Race, or Union Course In Miniature," is one of the moat exocllent things ever exhibited. There seems to be Instinct in the body of the charming animals, whloh exeltes them to emulation, and this Is really wonderful. The superb horse* manshlp of Mr. Stout, the elfgent feats of Professor Sends and bis treated and graceful obildren?thesegaclty of May Fly and Cinderella, are sufflolentto keep tbe attendants, every evening, highly delighted. The clowns are full of fun and humor; and. in short, the American elrcus is destined to maintain for a lomr tim* success In oar city. CHinTt'i Mimniu,-Thetenperformersthatcompose thl? company are all men of taste and ability, and inlfll their various pert* with much graphic humor and laeineM. Their quartette*, ballad*, He , are all executed with the greatest magical precision; and their famous burlesque of the "Voyage Musicals" I* nightly bailed with great applaaie. The K.thloplan Statuary, I Tyrolean Solo, burlesque dancing, kc., are aUo a* mush lelished aa ever.

Congressional Summary. Our telegraphic reports this morning will be found more than ubu.iIIv interesting. A* the close of the session approaches, both houses appear dirl>oeed to go to work in earnest, to bring up the tear. In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Wales took his seat as a Senator from Delaware, vice J. M. Clayton, resigned. Mr. Webster was appointed to till the vacancy in the Finance Committee, occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Clayton. The bill regulating pay in the Army was amended and passed. The regular order (the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill) inducing various amendments for the government of California and New Mexico, was taken up. After considerable debate on the bill, the Senate, in pursuance of a previous resolution, took a recess from 4 till (i o'clock. On re-assem. bling, the debate was resumed, and after some time, the amendment of Mr. Walker, providing for extending the general territorial laws over the territories of California and New Mexico, was passed?yeas 29, nays 27. This amendment appropriates $200,000, and gives to the Executive the power ol appointing all the necessary officers civil, judicial, and military. In the House, a resolution allowing extra pay to the t fficers, was laid on the table. A resolufinn war nAHRpH. to tprmmntA th? on th* California bill in two hours from the time of taking it up. The bill was taken up in Committee of the Whole, and waa debated by Messrs. Stewart, Gayle. Root, and Evans. Owing to some disarrangement of the telegraphic wires, our despatches terminated, without furnishing us the whole of the proceedings in either house. As might be supposed, the city of Washington is at present inundated with strangers, awaiting the great quarlennial event?the inauguration of the Chief Magistrate of the republic. As yet, nothing has transpired relative to the formation of the cabinet, excepting the appointment of Mr. Clayton, although our despatches furnish us the latest intelligence.
