THE PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIP

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
The following letter from the Directors of the
Company who own this vessel, addressed to
Messrs. Jones and Hodgson, insurance-brokers
at Liverpool, was posted in the Underwriters'
Room to-dav :
British and American Steam Navigation Company,
2, Billiter-coort, Billiter-square.
MESSRS. JONES AND HODGSON,
GENTLENtEI4,—In the Liverpool correspondence of the
Times of this day's date, it is stated that the sails of the Pre-
sident were " neither numerous or good;" the report is hardly
worth contradiction, but as it may cause uneasiness amongst
the Underwriters on her, I beg to annex a list of the sails
handed over by Captain Keane to Captain Roberts, when he
took command of the vessel.
I take this opportunity of stating that the Directors •are un-
der no apprehensions for the safety of the ship, being of opi.
nion that her machinery has given way, and Captain Roberts
has put into Halifax or Bermuda, most probably the latter port,
as the rte was from the N. E.
I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) MACGREGOR LAIR

MANCHESTER—TUESDAY EVENING.
The room was tolerably well attended at noon, but
presented a very scanty appearance of real business. i;
variety of offers were made, but the fieldsmen did 11°9
appear disposed to exceed their own notions ; and tb.o
parties disposed to back Tubalcain, Queen Bee, OrTh5T,
keen, and I-am-not-aware, were doomed to retire 0""fi
out executing commissions, or adding to their °III;
books. The high odds of II to I are still offered en :a
Chester Cup field. A fraction only rests between the `ll.-d
and second favourite. Gallipot was offered to be backer
against The Plover-11-f to 1 offered against the 14ft°11
with takers of 12 to 1 ; which, we doubt not, vi,"„.
have been booked on Gallipot. We should almost
given the third place to Tubalcain, as an ofre.,"7„--;
made pretty early to lay a pony he beats Queen
however, at the close of the room, 100 to 7 was reftr
upon Tubalcain, whilst 13 to 1 seemed the outside oit,
against Queen Bee. One gentleman offered to baektte
mare against any six for a hundred each, or take 156
i,se
10 she wins. Another proposal was to lay 100 to 6,
bet, against each of the following :—Bedford. CruiekeCed
Tubalcairt, Retriever, and I-am-not-aware. No one Itki
" the lot ;" but, no doubt, there were parties who vit'as
willingly have a selection at the price. Bloomsbury
once backed at 100 to 6; after, offered. I-am-not-Oar crii
was offered to be backed against him, who, after the r°°",,t ,••
broke up, was laid against at 100 to 5. As we did rig
hear Champagne, Lugwardine, and one or two otbe
named, their prices may be considered nominal.

watches a proposition to tax other luxuries, such as
whisky, tobacco, and hemp 1' Whisky and tobacco luxuries !
One is an unmitigated curse' and the other an intolerable
nuisance ! Hemp a luxury ! Why, it is an article of in—
dispensable necessity as long u the whisky and tobacco
are used."
