C.fLIFOh.NII.
THE public will be gratiied to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements 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 desirous to go out to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from a 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 Mt Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama ns 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 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
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

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 80 TINT delay
beyond the usual stsy of the ship in por, at Pans
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

The Kingdom Of sardinia : Free Stste.

The kingdom of Sardinia, in Upper Italy,
tlll within few years hardly heard of and pos
sesslng little more than five millions of inhabt-
ants In It's Ten counties, is yet by the confession
OF recen, travellers from this country, one OF
me freest and most interesting nations Of Eu-
rope. We have met with various testimonies
TO this eit.ct, and here is one from Rev. DR..
Bacon, of New York. Says the doctor, in his
speech there at the Hungarian meeting:
!" have said that there are but two countries
where Kossuth could be safe and free. There
Is another country where he could find sort of
rest, but il Is too near Austria to afford him an
adequate ASYLUM. allude to the kingdom of
Sardinia. II is delightful refreshment to the
traveller, when having landed ut Tre,te and
having travelled over Venetian Lombardy, he
passes over little stream and finds himself
suddenly IN free country. He sees that every
thing has different aspect. The priests, with
Their great hats and black cloaks how different
they look from the aspect they present in Aus
tria IL is retreshment to feel that the sol
diers even are raised and trained not for the
oppression OF the people, but for their defence
against Austria. There is country that in the
course OF the year 1882 will probably be found
taking the lead among the nations whose strug-
giles viii make the year 1882 year of as great
safe. When revolution breaks out, Kossutb
will be equally free in almost any part of Eu.
rope"
Yes. this beautiful country is enyroned by
the towers Of absolute powers, who hate her
institutions, and will doubtless seek the first
opportunity to precipitate their myrmidons, like
wlntry torrents, from the surrounding peaks,
into the rich valleys of Piedmont, destroying
and overwhelming everything in their career
and where they found liberty and plenty, leaving
behind them despotism and a waste. 1t is
curious to observe how striking the priests, with
their great snovel-hats, and black cloaks, appear
to travellers. DR.. Bicon is only one among n
multitude who seem astonishsd at these dark
clouds, skirtng everywhere the Italian horizon.
