his interest in the same to w. II. CRAssros,
Esq. and Mr.. GEO. II. NORMAN, who will
publish the paper under its present name and
carry on the printing business at the old
stand of the Herald of the Times.
During our brief connection with the paper,
we have found many friends, all of whom we
part with with regret and some of whom we
shall ever remember with the most grateful
recollection.
Although we may not have met with that
success in business which we desired, yet our
business relations have all been of the most
pleasant kind
In the editorial management of the paper,
we have endeavored to make il a sound WIG
paper, as well as good family paper, exclu-
ding from our reading and advertising columns
all matter Of an indecent and immoral charac-
ter, and giving our readers such reading as
would instruct as well as amuse. How far we
have succeeded, is best known to those who
have weekly perused the Herald.
With many thanks for the patronage which
has beeu bestowed upon US and the good wish
es of our friends for our prosperity in the old
field to which We are about to return, we bid
all Of our friends and readers farewell.

Europe announces the important intelli-
gence of the departure Of the pope from
Rome. The News states that he left ~

Rome was Tranquil, and the population
seemed Indifferent in relation TO the

A WoRD OF CAUTION, which may not be
needed, but which nevertheless, ought to be
pronounced, we venture to throw out for the
consideration Of those adventurers for California
who propose to take the route to Chagres and
thence acioss the isthmus to the Pacific.
Chagres is small, destitute settlement, in
very unhealthy climate, and incapable Of
atfording even the shelter Of roof to any con-
siderable and sudden accession of strangers.
The means Transportation across the sihmus,
which are confined almost wholly to saddle and
baggage mules, ara very limited, and when
,rrivef at Panama the stranger finds few in
habitanis, and no vessel or next to none. The
steamers of Rowland g. Aspnwall's line,
which are to touch at Panama monthly, can
nol, under any circumstances, accommodate
more, probably, than 100 to l20 passengers,
and for these, places have, for the most part,
been secured in advance-so that hundreds
will run the risk of being left on the shores Of
the Pacific, or at Chagres, without the posi-
bility of mo,lng theretrom, exposed to want,
sickness, and all their concomltant ills.
There are now ten OF twelve vessels up for
Chagres at this port. At Boston, Philadel phia
lHd Baltimore, many vessels are also up, and
three will carry more passengers than can
find ern from the sthmus. We trust these
words ofcauton may have the effect of dmin-
shing the numbers who may be rushing to
such certain disappointment and perhaps death.
