the Liverpool agent of this company, has written to the
London papers, a letter, of which the following is ,`":4

Mr. Douglass had no conversation whate%,
with me, except in the presenceof three, or four other rej

to this,—that he (Mr. Douglass), when coming frond „
United States. some months ago, in the same vessel (t of

Cambria,) as a steerage passenger, wad invited by soioetbe
the cabin passengers to enter the saloon, and wag
cause, whether intentionally or unintentionally 00 of,

serious disturbances on board, which required the autd
rity of the captain to quell, in order to restore peace e-»
safety. Under these circumstances, I told Mr. Dougl,#l.
that had be not entered into the arrangements which j
