THE STEAMSHIP PRESIDENT.


Much anxiety is felt for the fate Of the steamship
President, from New York for Liverpool which
has no, been heard of since she lef, New York,
more than sixty days since. During the early pant
Of last month, there had been heavy gales at sea,
in one Of which it is supposed she may have found
cred, or have become wrecked amidst the immense
quantities Of floating ice, which owing to an early
breaking up in the Northern seas, this spring,
have teen driven by the winds in Southerly direc-
ton. Information has been received at New York,
from all the places, at hich the President would
have been likely to put in, If she had been disabled
In any manner. but nothing has been seen or heard
OF her. The fears of the public have also been
somewhat increased. by the statements of several
masters Of vessels lately arrived at New York,
who have parts of the wreck of ship which
they Supposed to have been the President, The
ship had about 30 passengers on board, amongst
whom were tile Rev. Mr.. Goodman, late Chaplain
to Congress. and one or two other distinguished
persons. When it is recolecfed that many of those

repressed. for those immediate friends who are
thus kept in the most painful suspense as to the
fate Of those who nre near and dear to them, and
various reports and surmses concerning her, may
yet prove without foundation, and that she has ere
this, reached her destined port

NATIONAL FAST DAY.-The observ.
ance of Friday last, Us IA day Of Fasting,
Humiliation, and Prayer, was marked in
Baltimore, by the appropriate tokens befit-
ting such an occasion. Religious services
we're performed in the different churches
according TO the respective forms Of the
various denominations. The streets pre-
sented an appearance such as is usually
exhibited on the Sabbath-all places OF
business being closed. The silence which
prevailed throughout the city-the crowds
moving slowly to the various houses OF

from the sacred desk-with the other Ger.

power the solemn character Of the day.
An entire Nation bowed down with one

event which cannot but be for good in its
results--bo,h to the people and those in
authority over them. American.

junction. The Philadelphia Ledger says:
-" We were informed yesterday that it
was in contemplation to make immediate
application to Judge of the Supreme
Court of the United States for an lnjunc-
ton to stay any proceedings under the
recently passed Revenue Bill. il is con-
tended that this law is unconstitutional
and various and very plausible reasoning
is adduced to bring il IN conflict with that
par, of the constitution which prohibits
States from issuing bills Of credit. This,
it is urged, is virtually done 10 the issue
Of scrip, on which is based q three mil

THE NATIONAL FAST,

II may be in place to state that Friday last was
very properly observed by our citizens. All bust

The measures, in fine, which may be
expected 10 become the subject Of delise.

These measures would nj once dispense

These measures, taken together, would,
we feel entirely confident, suffice not on

step than il has ever taken.
We have said nothing about the exist

enough 10 provide for a! the regular an

will have been better ascer.ained than II

We learn from the Washington county papers,
th,t quite an active business is doing in coal,

TIL. PRESIDENT. The most conciu'
sive evidence, or intimatiop, that we have
vet seen, as to the fate Of the steamship
President, is contained in the following
extract from the log book of the packet
ship Utica, which we find in the Newark
Daily Advertiser:

The gentleman who furnished the ex-
tract says: The latitude and longitude
give the position of the Utica on the 18th.
Capt. PelI remarked at the time he pass
ed the wreck that it did not appear to be-
long to an ordinary merchantmen, having
considerable chain work about the spars.
The wreck was passed so near that they
were obliged to lufi to prevent the copper
of the Utica being scratched. | may add
that Captain Pell, before leaving port, en-
tertained serious apprehensions that the
wreck was a portion of the steamship
President.

ANOTHER FIRE AT Sr. LOUIS. The
Republican contains an account Of de.
s:ructlye fire in St. Louis, on tho morn
ing of the 3D. instant, at the corner of
Main and Market streets. The seed
store of John Thorburn, the store Of D.

pied by kimm d Lewis, and Wolff e.

bookstore and bindery OF S. w. Meach,
the dry goods store Oft. G.. Let,le, and
the hat store of w. II. McKinstry, in oil
SIX tenements, were destroyed. The loss
is heavy, but principally covered by in.
surance. A large portion OF the goods
were saved, as were the safes. bolts.
bars, vaults, money, and papers of The
Sub-Treosury." Altogether, this has
been the most disastrous fire that has ever
occurred in ST. Louis. Many suppose il
the work of an incendiary.
