thor of the Book of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
ny JOHN 4. NORTON, M A, New Haven Professor

This highly valuable work will comprise two

pages, with IL or 90 splendid steel engrayngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers OF ia pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engraUngs, and is sold at 25 each, or SIS for

FOR CALIFf)HNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STE A M SHIP
COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

C.fLlFOR.N1.d
TIME 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 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 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 difiicuises, and the preya-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero 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 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 Sal
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. HITcHCocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScnENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt HAnTsrEM, 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
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
