From he Aibany State R,g;,ter.

The fugitive slave bill was ordered to be engrossed
for third reading in the Senate on Friday The
bill provides for the appointment of commissioners
in the different counties before whom fugitives ma
be brought; makes il penal to aid in the rescue of
slave; makes the marshal who is entrusted with
warrant for his apprehension liable for neglect to
execute it, and liable in the case of rescue after
arrest, and contains other stringent provisions On
the whole, we are not dispeased with its passage
through the Senate, and shall not be passes the
House. The enticing away and abduction of slaves
has become crying evil, and not more SO to the
masters than TO the slaves themselves Where one
Is liberated III this way ten sent from the north
ern slave States and sold upon the sugar or rice
plantations OF the more southern and those who re-
main are more closely watched a; d worse treated
from the danger and fear Of escape, to which the
misguided efforts Of deludcd abolitonists give rise
We have entered into constitutional compact for
the delivery up of fugitive slaves, and we know of
no higher law which excuses US from fulfilling it.
Recent events demonstrate the necessity of strin-
gent laws for that purpose

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY.
Through Passage to California.


Through Passage to California.
kk THE pnblic will be gratified to learn
<fNB. that the United States Mail Steam
ship Company enabled to an
nounce that their arrangements are now complete
for sending passengers through from New York to
San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this company to meet the
wants of travel to California by providing ships on
the Pacific. in connexion with their ships from New
York to Chagres, they were prevailed upon, at the
urgent solicitation OF the great number then desir
Gus to go out, to sell tickets for through passages
from Panama in advance, for their ships then go
ing round. This was done from desire to accom-
modate those who could procure passages in
other quarter, and by which, whatever might be
the detention, they would reach San Francisco
sooner than by any other line. Unforeseen diff
culties, and the prevalence of fever at Rio Janeiro
at the time, prevented their ships from reaching
Panama as soon was anticipated, and caused de-
tention at the Isthnus, which was increased by the
impatiencc OF the passengers in going forward,
against the advice Of the company at an earlier
day than the ships 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 at Panama, and seve-
raj OF them have performed trips to San Francisco
and back; that the company are able to
give the public the assurance that the voyage
through from New York to San Francisco will be
performed with regularity and despatch
The Pacific Line, from Panama To San Francis
co, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Captain Hudson,
COLUMBUS, Captain Peck,
ISTHMUS, Captain Hitchcock,
ANTELOPE, Captain Ackley.
Their Atlantic and G ulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Captain Porter, u. S. N.
OHIO Captain Schenck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Captain Hartstein, U. S. n.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship in port al Pana-
ma will arise.
Their large size, we'll known speed and superior
arc nf,Ia satt hpir Vprk Cboex
line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific line, offer the certain,

at Oswego, New York, a mandatory that con-
sumes 1000 bushels Of corn a week. which makes
10000 pounds of the whitest and mot beautiful
starch for all domestic purposes, whether for the
laundry or pantry. The building is l40 by 100
feet, five stories high, (to which an addition is
about being erected,) aud contains two hundred
csterns for preclptating the starch, eleven fur
naces with drying-roo and employs about
seventy men, and manufactures upwards of 8 100 =
600 worth OF starch annually. There are two other
similar establishments III the United States, and
yet the demand is constantly increasing.
1t is found that this kind Of starch is superior to
any other for culinary purposes because it is al
