V,HE public will be grati6ed 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 10 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 Chsgres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then desrous 10 60 out, TO- sell tickets for
through passages from Panama In advance, Tor
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those VINO couid
procure passages IN no other quarter, ana py
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ience Of fever at Rio de Janero al the time, pre-
vented their sfaps from reaching Panama ss soon
as anticipatsdS and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the lnPatlence 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 al 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
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
| ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocx.
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. ScHENcX, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEiN, U. 3. 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
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid. and pleasant through passage to California
