CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 12.—THE PRESIDENT, —A report ob-
tained circulation this morning that a letter had been re-
ceived by Mr. Roberts from Captain Roberts of the Pre-
sident, that the steamer had put into Madeira, hands and
passengers all saved. The writer of this paragraph was
present when the communication was brought to the Un-
derwriter's room, and immediately instituted inquiries.
The result was that there proved to be no truth in the
matter, and is merely mentioned here for the purpose of
contradicting any rumour that might possibly reach the
North and South American Coffee House.
