STEAM PASSAGE TO CAL1FoRNIA.-Man
Inquiries are made Of US in relation to the
passage, by steamers, to California, To-
which we are unable satisfactorily to re.
ply. A line Of steamers has been con.
structed, under the patronage of the Uni
ted States Government, to run between
Panama and ports in Contra! America,
Mexico and California One of them, the:
California, Of 1850 tons burthen. is all
ready on her station, and the others have
sailed from New York. The California
will leave Panama for California on the
5th Of January; The Panama on the 18th
of February, and the Oregon on the LIST
March. Thereafter, they will leave the
first Of every month. The price of pas
sage, in state-rooms, from Panama to Rea-
lejo, 700 miles, is 1874; from same port
to Acapulco, 800 miles, $125; to San
Bias or Mazatan, 1000 miles, Sl75; 10
to San Diego, 5000 miles, $225; and to
San Fancisco, $500 miles, $3.50. Pas
sage in the lower cabin at deduction of
one fifth of these rates; and in the for
ward cabin to either Of the ports named,
$500. Passengers can take personal
baggage, freight free, to the extent of L.
200 lbs. weight, not exceeding half a ton
measurement, for each. Freight on eS-
cess and on all other goods, $50 per ton,
and one per cent, on specie. Packages
should not exceed $50 lbs. weight for
mule carriage.
A line has been established, also under
the patronage Of the Government, to run
from New York to New Orleans, and
thence to Chagres, touching at Havana.
The passage from New Orleans to Cha
gres, is $1eo in the saloon, and in the
lower cabin $50. Passengers on this
line are charged freight on every thing
except wearing apparel, and this is not
to exceed 225 lbs. Other freight to be-
charged 70 cents per foot.
We have no means Of estimating the
cost of the overland part Of the route; but
extravagant rates are necessarily paid
The distance across the Isthmus, from
Chagres TO Panama, is thirty eight miles,
BY most difficult route, and all transpor.
tation Of freight is upon mules. II ii 4
