FASHION PLATES AND LADIES' WAIsTs.--5Irs
Swisshein, in a savage article against the maga-
zine Fashion Plates, says
We know women now, who are dying, dying
by their own hand, and piously saying their
prayers every day, and for their death the Naga-
zine publishers are accountable mt the bar OF the
Eternal They are numbering them as truly as
ever David slew Uriah by the sword of Ama-
ieitas. No human agency can teach these VIC
Tins Of fashion plate monger that the long
whalebones sticking down into their sides, the
light strings tied around the small of the back,
and weight Of skirts dragging on them, are
crushing their lives out aud dragging them to
their graves. They will not believe they are en-
failing misery and disease and de,th upon their
children. Bat, ye', many CT them do know it,
and with all their yaunted love for their oif,prng
would rather see their little ones suffer ten
ihousana deaths, than they themselves should

COMPAN 1--1HnOC0n PgSS.fGE ~
C.gLIFOR.sL1.
THE public will be grat6ed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abied to announce that their arrangements arenow
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Company to NEE,
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 deslrous TO go out, 10 sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages IN no 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 Isth-
mus, which was increased by the impatence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed.
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips 10 San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York TO San Fran
cisco, viii be performed with regularity and des.
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the -
REPUBLIC, Capt. HupsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocE.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRrER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENoK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEM, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship IN port at Pana-
ma, will arise
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Cbagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage 10 California.
