Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents is devoted to political sub

them their chief value and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals of their class.
Black,rood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "'The Caxtons" and "My

COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
j United States Mail Steamship Company en-
abled TO announce that their arrangements 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 connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS 10 60 out TO cell 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 prsva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
AZ anticipated. and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, al an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. as.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived ut 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 Pacific Line, from Panama to San 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 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 Chagres
