Cs1Llf OASV liz
THE public will be grati6ed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company ARE en-
abied 10 announce that their arrangements arenow
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 rel 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 preya-
ence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus which increased by the impauence or
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, al an earler 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, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
| REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
| ITIIMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
| ANTELOPE, Capt. AcxLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt Porter, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. 5. NJ;
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, U. 5. 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,

BALTIMORE MARKET.

-Wheat-There has been no change to
note in prices this week. The sales have been as
heretofore viz 73a75 cents for good to prime
reds; 76a70 cents for whites; and 9OaS5 cents for
family flour withstand continue to quote
these rates to-day, with sales.
Corn-On Monday the market opened with
sales of good to prime white at 6Oa62 cents, and
of good to prime yellow at 64a65 cents. Since
then, however, the demand for shipment has
fallen off, and both whites and yellow have de-
clined to 59a60 cents, which rates quote to-day.
Oats.-Sales for several days past at 32a35 cts.
Clorerseed EARLY in the week sales of prime
parcels were made in some instances at S. 25
but since then the market has declined and sales
of very good parcels and also some of prime quail
ity have been made at S.. We quote to-day at
S4.s7 1-2 S5.12 1-2.
Cause.-The demand continues very active,
and sales are freely making. We quote as be-
fore, at SAG per ton of 1000 lbs, for Peruvian
where less than 10 tons are taken and Jas for
larger parcels. We quote Patagonian at S38 per
long ton, for lots of SO tons; and at S36aS3S per
short ton for smaller quantities. The import this
week is 1870 tons from Peruvian.
ToBAcco.-There is fair inquiry on the part
of shippers, and moderate business doing in Ma
ryland Tobacco, especially in good common de-
scriptions. The transactions repored to US com
prise about 400 to 500 hhds. within the range OF
quoted rates, which we continue, viz:
Frosted s3a3 so; inferior 50 50a4; good com
mon "a 5Oa5; brown Sc 5Oa7 so; and fine brown
S9a9.
Good sound Tobacco, ranging from S4a5, is
wanted, and goes off readily Higher priced lot:
are not in demand, and frosted is very hard to sell
Ohio Tobacco has been almost entirely neglected

AMERICANS IN THE REVOLUTION IN

AMERICANS IN THE REVOLUTION IN
MExIco.-The President issued orders late
ly to military commanders on the frontier to
prevent any invasion Of Mexico, by Ameri-
can citizens, but, says the National IntelA-
gencer, later advices show that but few A.
mericans are engaged in the revolution.
This announcement is probably made in
view of the fact that The President has issued
no proclamation on the subject; but the Tex
as papers say that among the most gallan.
and reliable persons in the enterprise, are
number Of prominent gentlemen, from Tex
as. These have taken with them force OF
about two or three hundred discharged Tex
an Rangers, who were lately encamped on
an island, near Corpus Christi, and will form
a formidable part Of the revolutionary forces.
Several gentlemen Of reputation as military
men and revolutionary chiefs, the Delta says,
have also lief, New Orleans, in order to take
part in the revolution. !n addition, the &C.
counts OF the late taking of Csmsrgo by the
revolutionists, stale that they lost ':four A.
mericans, out of company composed near
ly altogether Of Americans.
This state Of things on the Rio del Norte
is certainly Of grave import 10 the people of
The United States. The Central government
of Mexico seems to be falling to pieces, and
the United States may be, ere long, per force
of commt.ances, called upon to figure in
another &C. Of the Meccan drama. In what
way remains to be seen.-Sun.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has the fol-
lowing despatch, dated
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-Mr. Consul Owen
has been removed. The delay in removing
him at once, arose simply from The necessi-
" of The Government receiving an au,hen-
tic official account of his conduct. The
Presiden, was determined from the first, to
remove him, if official information confirm
ed The newspaper reports of his procedure,
and in doing so, he has carried out The uni
versal sentiment Of the whole people,
Mr.. Owens fault arose, probably, from want
of brains more than malice, but in either
case he is unworthy of holding office un-
der this government.
