UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY--T THROUGH PASSAGE TO
W DAI Ir0RhrLA

-TAk0UGH F.1SS.1GE TO
CALIFORNIA.
rT,HE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail 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
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 desirous TO go out, to 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-
lence OF fever at Rio de Jhneiro 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 impatence or
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
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 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
yovaee through from New York 10 San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. =
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HunsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocE.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt AcKLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. ~
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. n.
FALCON, Capt. HAnTsrEiN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 80 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
recommendations 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

that you should bear in mind, that on the @3a
24th. and 25th days Of October, your Society vii
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the ctty o
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, tc
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your STOCK
the product, of uo,r orchards, and Of your gardens
Don t presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that VIII be here
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t IL
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
il as good, il not better than that of others, and
that II behooves you TO gallantly enter the list OF
competition: if defeated honorably, and the nigh
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you Will ENJOY
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
az are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
sciues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery h0tse
hold manufactures, The proahtts Of the DAIRY ana o
the poultry yard, preserves domestic rines, covec
tions, and above all things, to come fhemseipes a.
sc.hosu scon,an and the beautiful ela6ordf'ons o. he'
a.te and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural hmpiement'
and Tools, we would say, that interest and pntri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chnery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblaSe OF iarm-
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, VIII be
greater than upon any former occasion mere or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the .fgrtcutfural
Impiement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machl-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by The
American heart.
