COMPANY-THROUG PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
T,HE public will be grat6ed 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 6rst 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 Chugres, they were pre-
vailed upon, n the urgent solicitation Of the great
nnmbsr then desroas TO go out, 10 sell tickets for
shsnHgh pansasss from Panama in advance, for
ihaix SNVps then going round This was done
ftpm desirs 10 accommodate those who could
procure passages ia no other quarter, and by
which, whatsser might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the pTeva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
sopted shais sAips from reaching Panama ~ saon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Isth-
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.
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 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. HrrcHcocK.
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, Capt. SCIENCE, U. s. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEM, 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,
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO California.
