THE STEAM SHIP PRESIDENTS
RETURN.

On Monday the citizens of New York were
surprised and alarmed to perceive that the
steamer President, which left there on the I'd
of November, was telegraphed below A few
minutes after one o'clock she came up to the
dock, when j. was ascertained, that since she
had left New York, she had experienced CON
tnued gales Of wind, and had to lie-to for four
days Her coal being too much reduced in
quantity TO make it safe for her to proceed on
her voyage, she put back to New York.
The New York Herald thus comments on the
return of the President:
g Mr. Jaudon, Mr.. Brown, and Rfr. AIsop, all
of the U. S. Bank, were going out to London, to
make the final arrangements for the redemption
OF specie payments by that bank; and had made
all their calculations relative to monetary mat
tiers, based on the belief that the President would
arrive out on or about the 18th of the month.
This delay will be productive of sad inconveni-
ence in this respect alone, and overthrow all the
arrangements made in England Bills will be-
come due and lie protested, and quite small
explosion will succeed. Many of our most emf
nent merchants have also made similar calcula-
tons in regard to money matters, all of of which
will be overthrown, to the surprise and derange-
ment of the mercantile world in England.
GO Added to all this will be the intense and
agonIzmS excitement produced In other quar-
tiers ia England by her non-arrival The Acadia
left Boston on Sunday the LIST instant, and will
reach Liverpool next Saturday, with the posi-
tive intelligence that the steamship President
was to follow her next day; and carrying out the
names OF many who were to leave in her. The
President will be due in England next Monday
but that day will pass over, and the day after
that, and the whole week will run by, and yet
there viii be no trace of the President. And
will grOyV dim with WATCHING and cheeks
lock pale with fear, and fond hearts ache with
agony Tor the supposed loss of all they love
tor when 10, ~ and perhaps ID days roll by
aL'er she IS due, and no tidings of her reach the
ynoies Oh England, (for none can reach until the
Ia.rlck Henry arrives, on or about the 26th in.
sIa"Ill .he conclusion of majority will be, that
sue sne n~s gone to the bottom with all on board
There VIII be IA days Of intense suspense; and

EoUsToN, October 20.

We have received information bya gentle
man just in from Matagorda, that varies from
the accounts previously received, concerning
the recent engagement between the Mexican
belligerants, this side of the Gro Grande This
gentleman informs us, that Arista was adyanc-
ing up the Rio Grande, in pursuit of division
ofthe Federalists, probably those under Col.
Jourdan,) when Canales, with the remainder,
fell upon his rear. and the other party wheeled
and attacked him in front. In shot time
Arista capitulated, surrendering all his bag
gage, SIX cannons, and 1900 men: one of the
provisions of the captulation was that Mata-
moras should be at once given up to the Fed
eralsts.
Gen. Honston's plan for raising large army
10 march on an expedition against the Indians
was generally disapproved. The settlements
on the frontier were unmoested, and fears of
indian depreciation were for the present Quilted.

WOMEN THE BEST JUDGES OF BEAUTY.-'It
is rare 10 hear from lady such candid &C.
acknowledgement of anothe:'s beauty said MIR.
De Lacy. do you think so:' said Kae now,
it has always occurred TO me, that women are
quite willing TO admit one OF their own sex, 10
be beautiful, if she is so; but they are naturally
more fastdious than men, Why so" Because
they read more poetry, and more frequently
learn TO draw and paint, and therefore have a
more true PERCEPTION of what is beautiful than
men have. They know when face offends
against proportion and harmony more readily
than men, and therefore are accused Of being
envious ofthe said faces charms. Men gener-
ally think woman pretty, if she is large and
lively, andifshe takes PLEASURE in theirsociety.

RETURN OF THE
PRESIDENT STEAM SHIP,
DISABLED BY AN ACCIDENT AT SEA.

A great sensation was created in this city this
morning between s and 8 O'Clock by the announce
ment of the telegraph; that steam ship was
seen in the ofing. The announcement on the
telegraph ran thus:
90 o'cloclk-In the offing-A large British
steamer with three masts; coming in slowly UNI
der steam"
The public anxiety was intense to know what
steam ship it was, as none was due or expected
about this time. The Queen had only been out
eight days, and therefore it could not be her;
and some supposed it was the new ship Column
bia, whose place was taken by the Britannia.
At l0o'clocls, the telegraph had this announce
mcnt:
GsOutside the Hook-the steam ship President,
put back apparently in distress"
All the mercantile men were running hither
and thither to enquire the cause of her return,
and alarm sat on the faces of all who had friends
on board of her And it was not until half-past
IL that the cause was ascertancd from the tele-
graph bulletin, which ran thus:
EHalf-past 1l-President steamship, miles
off the West Bank; returned, with her starboard
wheel disabled; coming up slowly under steam"
What has caused this accident, we are yet
unable to learn; although from the recent high
tides, and heavy gales on the coast, we have no
doubt that she experienced tremendous Storm
or perhaps a succession of gales and heavy seas.
