Being got rid of, woul.

would soon experience little ciitf

culty in re-appropriating the whole on favourable terms.
The great bulk of the shares, we arc confidently assured,
are now vested in the hands of strong and bona fide holders,
whose confidence in the merits of the undertaking experi-
ence and examination are daily increasing. A considerable
amount of the calls in arrear at. the date of the late half-
yearly statement has been since paid up ; and we have no
doubt that the present satisfactory progress of the works,
even under existing difficulties, will, before long, enable those
proprietors who have adhered to their shares, under circum-
stances of great discouragement, to congratulate themselves
upon the result of their constancy and judgment. This im-
provement, we are assured, is even now taking place in the
position of the company, notwithstanding any unfavourable
impression which their being in a state of litigation is calcu-
lated to produce ; and we are confident that a prompt arrange-
raent of difficulties would not only ensure at once the pros-
perity of the shareholders at large, but might even be the
means of materially advancing the interests of those who are

now in hostile collision with the undertaking in which they
are themselves embarked.
Whilst throwi►ig out this suggestion to the dissatisfied por-
tion of the proprietary, we must urge at the same time upon
those parties M arrear, who have no legal, or i►aagined legal,
objection to pay up, thus and glaring impolicy of their
conduct in delaying to do so. The Sheffield and Manchester
railway is not, we are aware, regarded as a popular line.
And why ? Passing by the fancied difficulties of its construc-
tion, the main reason of its not being in favour with the pub-
lic. is its apparent disfavour in the estimation of its own pro-
to pay up their

prietors, as manifested in their retina.— _
calls with promptitude. Let the shareholders, as a body
make a move. Let the present arrears be wiped off, and tht
directors enabled to push forward the works already commen-
ced with the requisite vigour, and then it will probably be
found that popular opinion will show itself a little change
Let this be done, and then we venture to say that the sb•
of the Sheffield and Manchester railway will assn .:7
thing like their real value in the market, and the quest
which ha• recently been so hotly litigated, and which
.pt
mises to furnish further pickings for the gentlemen of th
long robe, will, in all likelihood, settle itself without their
costly P.-

STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT,

(From the New York Morning Herald.)
This leviathan was thrown otopn to the public last Monday,
and has been throngeir-vVitb, lad and gentlemen ever since.
At noon on the first day she was visited by several of the
corps diplornatique, who were then in the city, and among
the number M. de Barcourt, the French minister.
We have ascertained the number of persons who have
visited her during Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, of
this week. Yesterday more than ever went on board, but
we could not learn precisely how many.
visiters on Monday
Tuesday 3,320
4i Wednesday 4,011

Total in three days 11,307
The first party that visited her yesterday, numbered one
hundred and thirty-two ladies and gentlemen. All marched
aboard Indiana file and made a pretty long string.
In round numbers, no less than eighteen thousand persons
have been on board this immense floating palace, and we do
not believe a single one has left her decks without passing
the highest encomiums on her cabins, machinery, splendid
promonade deck, a deer sweep of two hundred and fifty
feet, and her noble commander, R. J. Fayrer, Esq. Among
her visiters, in the early part of the week, was James Ben-
nett, Esq. of Long Island. He Was highly pleased with her,
and after he reached home he sat down, and in a few minutes
produced the following .
