STEAM SHIP PRESIDENT.

The steam Chip seen by the Lord Saumarez on the 10th of
April, was about 9 deg. south west of Cape Verd Islands, quite
out of the track of ships coming fr.'m the United States or
the West Inles, and therefore not likely to be spoken.
2dly. It the ship se, n had been outward bound, she would
not have been steering dose hauled to the northward. If
homeward bound, and not disabled, she would have arrived in
all probability as soon as the Lord Saumarez, or the Earl of
Hardwick ; not having arrived, the natural conclusion is that
she Has disabled.

3dly. The mate of the Lord Saumerez stated that the brig
outsailed the steamer, both running upon the same tack,
which would hardly have been the case unless the steamer
was crippled.
4thly. The steamer having her masts standing and sails set,
and not under steam porter, shows that she had lost the use of
her machinery, and being a large ship with far less canvass
than an ordinary sailing ship she would make less speed, just
as stated, upon the supposition that the ship seen was the
President.

sthiy. The position of the steamer corresponds with this
idea; the I'resident had then been thirty days at sea, having
sailed from New York on the 11th March ; I suppose the
-isastor to have happened on the 15th of that month,
four days out • she had been twenty-six days 10 drifting and
sailing from fat. 38 or 39, and lon. 60, to the same place
where she was seen, or, in other words, in making 28 deg.
of lon., and about 25 deg. of southing. Nautical men, I
think, will allow, that in all probability the ship, aided by
the Gulf Stream in the early part of her passage, would accom-
plish that distance in the time.
Finally, if the ship seen be not the President, can any per.
son name any other steam ship out of time ? Having an out-
ward or a homeward steam ship will not do, as shown in the
second particular.

DUBLIN, MAY B.—Riquisitimis are in pro-
gress for meetings in all the par:shrs of Dublin, to support lli-
ni,ters in their attempt to break down the corn, sugar, and tim-
ber monopolies. The country districts are also preparing to
assemble. Every where the people are getting ready for a
general election. A letter from Mr. O'Connell to Mr. Ray
was read at the meeting at the Corn Exchange to-day, in which
he proposes that there should be a simultaneous meeting of the
various parishes in Ireland on or about the 23(1 inst., to address
her Alajt.sty, and implore her not to receive into her confidence
the enemies of her faithful Irish people.
