UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY--THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

Cs1Llk ONSV 1s1
THE 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 oftrayel 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 60 out, TO veil tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from dessre 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 Janeiro ut 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 impaAience 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
yovucc 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. HuTcHCocK.
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 NEapt ScurNCK. u S NJ
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, U. 5. ~
The connection between the two lines will bt
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 th'
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California

An AMERICAN GRACE DARILEG.-The New
York Sunday Messenger notices young, Intelligent
and interesting woman, residing within sixty miles
of New York, who has, with The assistance Of an
aged and infirm father, saved twenty one lives
within the last fifteen years The following par
ticulars are given:
kate Moore is the daughter of Capt. Moore, who
keeps the Light House on Fairwealher Island, sit
ua,ed midway between the harbors of Black Rock
and Bridgeport, Comm The Island contains five
acres of land, and is about halfa mile from the
Shore Many disasters, il is known, have occurred
and sometimes in the Sound homeward Mound,
and this lady IS ear is so accurate, it is said she
distinguish the shrieks Of the drowning mariner,
and direct her barque in the darkest night. She
can trim boat, and manage i! as we'll as any man,
and seems TO make up in tact, what she lacks in
strength, and never refuses to turn out in the daF
kest night to the relief of the sufferers. Ournor
mant adds that she is rarely accomplished and lit
erary lady. and perfectly feminine in her manners,
and that, although she occasionally visits New
York, and other places in that vicinity. and has
large and most respectable acquaintance, many OF
whom know of these facts, they have never come
10 the knowledge of The public before. The late la
mented Major Noah, who was remarkable for col
Iecing the most interesting facts, by some means
became acquainted with them. We also under
stand that Cap. Moore and his worthy help-mate
have resided upon the Island over twenty yesrs. and
brought up family of five children upon salary
of three hundred dollars year. all of whom have
an excellent education and that they entertain a
great many persons who visit the Island, with true,
old fashioned hospitality"

SUDDEN DEATH OF COL CoIsroN.-It becomes
our painful duty to announce that Col. Edward
Colston, of this county, is no more. He was sud-
denly stricken down by the hand of death, at Hon
eywood. his late residence, on the evening Of the
23rd inst, in the sixty fourth year of his age. Up
to the hour of his death, he was apparently in the
full enjoyment of health and strength. He had just
closed conversation with member Of his family,
when he fell from his chair, and instantly expired
His excellent lady, and Two elder children, upon
whom the sad news of their loss, has fallen with
bgh,ing effect, were absent from home, at the time
of their sudden bereavement.
1t is seldom that community is called on to Ia
ment The loss of so valuable and esteemed citizen,
as was the subject of this notice and we feel sure,
there is not heart among the acquaintance of Col.
Colston, that will not throb with pain at the intel
igence Of his death. He was eminenty useful
in every relation of life, public and private. His
death is great loss to the church, of which he
had long been member, loss to his county, and a
loss to his country. He had faithfully performed
the duties of many responsible public posts had
represented this district in the Congress of the IT,
States had frequently represented this county in
the Legislature Of this State ;-and had served a
long time as one of the Magistrates of The county

A SURE ENOUGH UNION MovE.-Dr. Collins,
Of Georgia, the owner of the slave Shadrach, who
was rescued from the officers of the law, in

following impressive terms. They are the more
remarkable because great many others have pro-
nouced the Union not longer worth having, for the
reason that Shadrach was carried off,
And although would not follow the example Of
the great Carhagenian general, by swearing my
children to eternal war upon the opponents of the
Government, yet so important and so sacred do |

er be my fortune present son at the alter of any

AFLARE UP IN New YoRX.-In the course of
his speech at the st. Georges Festival in New
York, the British Minister made some allusion 10
the ancient Cells as free from the incumbrance Of
breeches A portion Of the Irish population took
fire at the remark, and held meeting, the object OF
which the chairman explained to be, "to consider
the vilainous language of that mnon Of the Saxon
Government, Sir HENRY BULwER, and thrust it
down his throat" Before the indgnants had pro-
ceeded any farther, a letter was read from RICHARD
BELL, Esq, President of "Friendly Sons of st
Patrick, ;" in which he stated that Sir HENRY him
self is descended from the Cells of Wales, and mar
ried the daughter Of an Irishman. At this point,
voice from the crowd sang out "He wants to get
off through his wife being an Li6hman" letter
from Sir HENRY to MIR. BELL, disclaiming any in
tenton TO offend, wss also read, but the meeting
decided the explanation 10 be unsatisfactory and or
dered both letters to be returned. MIR. MICHAEL
DoHENY then produced memorial to President
FILLMORE, recling the insult which the Irish
people had received, and requesting him to procure
the recall of the Minister, which was unanimous
" adopted. Nike WALSH figured at the meeting.
