FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

VNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed 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, 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 done
from a 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 al Rio de Janelro al tbs ums, pre-
vented their ssiips from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detentonh the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
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
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, IRON Panama 10 Dan Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcoCK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, u S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEN, U. .. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stoy 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
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California

TRIPLES.

A cloud may intercept the sun,
A web by insect workers spun,
Preserve the life within the frame,
Or vapors take away the same.
A grain of sand upon the sight,
May rob giant of his might!
Or needle-point let out his breath,
And make banquet meal for Death.
How often at single word,
The heart with agony is stirred,
And ties that years could not have riven,
Are scattered to- the winds of heaven.
A glance that looks with lips would speak,
Will spend the pulse and blanch the cheek
And thoughts, nor looked, nor yet express a.
Create chaos in the breast.
A smile of hope from those we love,
May be an angel from above;
A whispered welcome in our ears,
Be as the music of the spheres.
The pressure of the gentle hand,
Worth all that glitters in the land;
oh trifes are not what they are,
But fortunes ruling voice and star.
