UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA .a...s--s g.

THE public viii be gratfed to learn that the
United States Mai Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back. VI.
In the first attempts OF, this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York TO Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, to sell tickets Tor
through passages from Panama IN advance, ior
their ships then going round. THIS was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in M other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impotence OF
Messengers in going forward, against the advice
Genrpcny, 90 sssssss day fhzn Ina shAp
could possibly reach Panama ......
These interruptions are now all removed,
Three of the four ships of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived a. Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. ?
Their Pucihc Line, from Panama 70 ooh FRAN
cisco, consists of the

OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. s. n.

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so mat no aeiay
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California

News from santa Fe-The Malls-Pacids
Railroad.
Correspondence Of The St. Louis Republican.

INDEPENDENCE, Friday, Nov 1, 1850.
On Wednesday afternoon, Samuel w ethered
of Baltimore, Newton Williams OF Boonyllle,
and Burnet of Mansas, reached here from Santa
Fee They left about the l4th OF last month, and
consequently bring no later intelligence than you
are already in possession Of respecting business
matters, &c. in Santa Fe. On their way il, it
seems plan was laid to rob them OF their means,
which was happily prevented in good time.
Young man by the name OF Fox, in connection
with some others had arranged it that they were
to travel III Mr.. Wethercd's company, and while
out the prairies were ut some ungarded
moment to give the alarm OF Indians murder
MessTs. Wehered, Williams, Brevort and his
servant, and take possession OF thelB money.
Kit Carson, living at the Ryado, learned that Fox
had been in that village, and attempted to per-
suade another person there, to 60 along and assist
i'll the murderous plot-sad he was gong to Taos,
and when out n little from the village, turned off
TO ion Breyort and party. Carson, aware OF this,
obtuined an escort OF twelve Dragons, and &c
cOmpanied by Capt Ewall and servant Johnson
and one hundred and twcnty'eight soldiers they
Travelled ono hundred and fifty miles in twenty,
eight hours to aPprze the party OF their danger:
and take Fox prisoner back to Santa Fe This
they did, much to the relief OF Wcthered and
party. 1t is supposed the plot was concocted in
Santa Fe, from the fact that Mr. Wethered and
Brcyort were to bring to the States a good deal
of money.
The Santa re mail, carried ont by Waldo &c
Co. and the Salt Lake mail taken by Brown,
Woodson & Co. started Mt their regular hours. !
do not know whether they have asked it or not,
but the Department at Washington ought to al
low the contractors for the mail to Salt Lake a
number OF days more, in which TO make their
trips, otherwise 1t will be impossible, on accoant
