Then Thets seized the curious dies,
And with her wat'ry train,
Departed through the azure SHES,
That none might get the prize.
And lodged them in the main.
But Neptune reused the mighty deep.
And with a Vigorous hand,
While all the Nereids asleep
Seiz'd on the tools--to bnild ship
In Britain's fertile land
And now she floats upon the wave,
By Vulcan's fire propelled;
And with her Fayrer, nobly brave
Give me too watry grave,
If ever she's exceifd.
To speak of the President" we must use the
words grand, massive, splendid, immense-no other
words will answer, and no one can conceive, in their
own minds, her size, proportions, and beauty. They
must first her. She has already been described,
and is all that has been said Of her. She has berths
of the best and most comfortable description for
hundred and eighty two passengers. We hope every
one will be taken-a good many have been already
and we advise travellers to Europe to move quick
Her state rooms are constructed new plan, and
have ection with The dining room, which has
been heretofore the great desideratum. Each room,
too is by itself, as it were. The occupants go in,
and enclosed in small room, precisely as il in
the Astor House, with every convenience. In this
respect she surpasses the" British Queen"
Her dining room accommodate one hundred
and twenty at sitting, and there is another room
FORWARD tnat can &C Omnoudte seventy -nNc W
dred more. Abaft the principal dining room,
is the corridor, which is surrounded by state
rooms for ladies, and splendid and one mag
nifcent parlor. The latter is most tastefully
and beautifully fitted up, and is exclusively for
the ladies. Ii is about eight feet by fifteen, and
is supplied with sofas, ottomans, stuffed chairs,
and brilliant toned piano. The sofas are covered
with silk, and the sides and ceiling painted to
give the whole delicate cerulean hue In the cor
rdor, there is a garden filed with plants but some
persons have kindly relieved them Of their beauti
full flowers, thereby preventing others from sigh,
which Captain Fayrer intended for every one =
There is Vandalism all over the world.
Notwithstanding these splcndors and convenien-
ccs and others which have been before described,
the +" President is not so snowy vessel as the
&c British Queen" She is, however, superior. She
il, more massive, stronger, and approaches nearer
line of battle ship in the structure other model.
Tuesday next she takes her departure hence for
Liverpool, which will complete her first voyage. On
the same day the :" Acadia" leaves Boston, also for
Liverpool, by the way Of Halifax. There will con-
sequently be trial Of speed between the two steam
ers, though neither intend racing The Acadia"
has the advantage for she is sharper and carries no
cargo. She is also more powerful, we shall show
by the following.

IL is here seen that each horse power Of the
''Presidents engines hrs to prope little over one
ton more than those Of the 4" Acadia, making in
all adraw back in weight, OF over six hundred tons
against the President But notwithstanding,
odds are given in favor Of the latter. Time will
show which will sail the fastest
on Dfr.-That at the next meeting Of the Com
mon Council the Street Commission is to be re-
moved, and good and true .ocofoco placed at the
head of that department IL is said that the eyes OF
the faithful were recently opened TO Mr.. Ewens dis
qualification by the fact getting bruitcd about that he
had subscribed $500 towards defrsying the expen-
ses Of Gen. Harrison election.
Mn. FESSINoRE CooPrR plead his own cause at
Utica the other day. The old maxim is, il man is
his own lawyer, he has fool for client but this
is not the fact in the present case IL his adverse
ries had adopted the course, the maxim would
have held good.
Pans THEArRr.-Thsre was an immense audi
ence here last night, to witness Natalie" in which
the Pas styren was introduced but we are sorry TO
saw IL was very Inferiorly executed FAR as Mons.
SYLVAN was concerned The Elssler was as usual,
near well Paul Taglioni, in the same part last
year The second act redeemed the first, in the es-
timaton Of the audience, and la belle Fanny re-
wsrded for her exertions by three tremendous
rounds Of applause.
The Lottery Ticket followed the ballet, and then
the brilliant SPANS IN dance FL Jallco de Jeres,'
which was most enthusiastically cncored.
Tonight is Buckstone's benefit, and the admirers
Of genuine comic bumor ought certainly to be pre-
sent. That most admirable petite comedy " Rural
Felicity" is 20 be performed, in which he plays
simon Sly, certainly Of his best parts and well
adapted TO display his peculiar genius. In eur OPT
MON, he is one OF the best comic actors that ever
appeared in this city possessing great originality
and fine conception Of that class Of characters tech
nicslly called, 4" the eccentrics We hope and
trust that the house will be well attended.
NpLo's GaRprs-It will be seen by reference
TO our ad vertisng cosmns, that Mr. Ranger appears
ght in that very popular part, Mons MarbIisu,
in Mons. Ton,on. The piece Is strongly east in
other respects, and ought to attract crowded audi
tory.
