The mail to-day brought papers from New York of the 9th inst. They contain nothing of interest.

 Congress having adjourned to the 7th, we have mo- thing of importance from Washington.

 We are indebted to the Herald for an extra of the 9th, containing the result of examnation held by the British Consul at New Ysrk in relation to the steamship President. During the examination ii was proved that that vessel in the best possible dtion for the sea- and that the reports of her being ''hogged" were false. Capt. Cole, of the ship Or pheus, stated to the meeting that when he last saw the President she rising the top of tremen- dous sea- pitching heavily and laboring tremendious- ly She was then situated in that dangerous part of the Atlantic Ocean, about midway between the Nan tucket Shsal and the St. Georges Shoal just where the Gulf Stream strikes soundings, and where the waves rise almost straight up and down and as high four or five story house. That the President then must have been shipping seas heavily and fast; that probably these large bodies of water worked through into the engine room, or fire room, and srn g,shed Ae fires, in which the steamer would have been comparatively helpless; that the storm was terrific all that night; that morning the wind shifted suddenly from N E. to S. E., knocking up a still more tremendous sea, and that the gale continued with unabated fury till midnight of the 18th. And that is his belief that the President did not survive that gale, but foundered with all board, and that all pcrished before sundown on the 18th, or in less than twenty-four hours after he last saw her; and most probably in the terrific night of the I2th of Mar

 In this opinion other nautical gentlemen, seemed to coincide.
