Movements for California, Sc.
The steamer Falcon, which sailed from New
Orleans on the 10Th, had on board l73 passengers
for Chagres. The greater portion OF these Will
take the steamer California, at Panama, on the 9th
of January, for San Francisco.
In order to relieve those who are apprehensve
of difficulty arising out of the return of the Pa
mama, we will state that those who purchased
tickets for passage from Panama to San Francisco
will have the privilege of taking berths on board
the Oregon, which vessel LETT only five days after
the Panama, and will no doubt reach there before
the 18th ofFebruary-the period announced for her
departure so that no disappointment need be an
tcpated upon this head, particularly as there have
been no tickets sold for passage IN her. One Of
these vessels was originally intended by the COM
pany as a reserve boat, two being fully capable OF
| performing the service required and should the
Panama fail to reach Panama In season, her place
will be supplied by the Oregon and the Calfor-
| MIA, which is announced to leave Panama on the
9th of January, would have ample time to make a
voyage to San Francisco, and leave again on the
lst of March, thus completely fulfilling all that
has been promised by the company.
For the benefit of those who contemplate going
San Francisco, via Cape Horn, we consider it
| our duty to inform them that there are all kinds
| and classes of vessels up for passengers, some of
which unworthy and unsafe. The best place
10 inquire for correct information relative to every
ship on the list, is at the insurance Offices, IN
Wall street. We do not doubt but that there are
many fine vessels about leaving this port for the
outside route but we know there are others
hardly fit to venture out sight CT land, In the
most favorable weather. The voyage round Cape
Horn Is particularly dangerous, at this season OF
| the year; and people not used to sea life want
| good ship under them.
