FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL MSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

VyHE 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 nom
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 desrous 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 Janeiro at the time pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
ns anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus. which was increased by the Impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. e
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 give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HupsoN.

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, u S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 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

The Roman Bed Time.

An immense majority of men in Rome never
| light candle, unless sometimes in the G. RI,
dawn. And this custom of Rome, was the Gus
tom of all the nations that lived around the rrea,
pond of the Mediterranean. In Athens. Erypt
Palestine, Asia Minor, everywhere the ancients
went to bed, like good boys from seven to nine
o'clock The Turks and other people, who have
succeeded to the habits and stations of the an.
clients. do so to this day.
The Roman, therefore, who saw no Joke in
sitting around the table in the dark, went off to
bed as soon as the darkness began Every body
did so. Old Numa Pompius himself was obi
ged to trundle himself offin the dusk. Tarquin-
JUS might be very superb fellow but we doubt
whether he ever saw farthing rushlight. And
though it may be thought that plots ard consDi-
racies would flourish in such city of darkness
it is TO be considered the consprators themselves
had no more candles than honest men-both mar
ties were in the dark.
Being up then, and stirring not long after the
lark, what mischief did the Roman 90 about first
Nowadays, he would have taken n pipe or CT

then creatures they had neither the one nor the

ofthe candles, we approved of her parsimony.-
Much mischief is brewed by eandle-light But,
it was coming it too strong TO allow no tobacco.
Many wild fellow in Rome, your Gracchi, Svl-
las, CAtilines, would not have PLAYED "h-and

\ DOUBLE RECOMMENDATIONS of the most
singular cases of deserton and elopement on re-
cord occurred in this city on Thursday last. A
man residing in Exter street, who had been mar
ried about five weeks, suddenly disappeared on
Thursday afternoon last, and about the same
time woman who had been married eight weeks
residing on Fel's Point, likewise disappeared
On inquiry, it was ascertained that the missing
parties had been together at the PHILADELPHIA
steamboat on that afternoon, and as he had court
ed her in days gone by, and she had rejected hi,
suit, there seems to be TO doubt that they have
rekindled the old fame and travelled off together

ing woman, and the deserted husband is wor-
thy and industrious man, having gone to house
keeping with every comfort around hin. His
wife was only between fifteen and sixteen years
ofGge. Iii now thoughtthat they went togcth-
