DISASTERS BY THE LATE GALES.

Several Of the Atlantic packet ships
which have been so anxiously looked for
arrived at New York on Saturday and
Sunday; all Of them having suffered con-
siderably in their sails and rigging from the
extreme severity of the weather. Speak
ing OF these disasters, the Courier remarks:
at has never fallen 10 our lot TO record so
much distress and suffering. The gales of
the 14th and 18th February and I'd and Sd
instant have been peculiarly severe. A.

urday and Sunday, scarcely any but have
suffered, and some very severely. Flom

WHERE Is THE PRESIDENT.

WHERE II lHE PkESlDENI.
When the result Of the Baltimore Con-
vention was announced to the people, a
cry went up from one end Of the Union to
the other, "Who is Jrmcs X. PoIk!" A
few months swept by-The ides ofNovem-
bcr arrived, and to the chagrin OF many
K surprise Of all, majority Of the Electors
Of the United States answered, flames X.
Polk is the President Again has this
wonderful man leCome the subject Of anX
ous inquiry. And again has the inquiry
been answered in a manner. surprising
and astonishing even to those who llattered
themselves that no secret of the President
was withheld from their confidential ears.
Those who believed that ever since that
famous Convention which brought him

Since that somewhat mysterious paper,
the Message, went forth, and the Presi-

boundary was read, few of ardent tenn
permanent and keen perception, imagined
they saw in their minds eye The President
standing erect and firm, his right foot rest
ing on 81 degrees 40 minutes. 1t was de-
cartd that there he did stand And when
his Cabinet communicated with the British
Minister, although they very curiously a.
voided declaring whether he stood there
or not, they intin,ated, in their diplomatic
way, that there he had right to stand.
Messrs Allen, Hancgan, and Cuss, who
among the democratic members of the
Senate stand IN the front rank, declared
that the President stood up for lor sd deg,
40 MN. or "immediale war;" And that
unless the question were soon settled he
would move forward TO 6I. They denounc.
