TINE public will he gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 70 announce that their arrangements are now

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 70 Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
nunber then dssrous 70 60 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 do Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, aud caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was Increased by the impatence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Coqpany, NJ 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 Sar,
Francisco aud back. So tAat the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance thai the
VOYAGE through from, New York TO San Fran
cisco. will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. ~ ags.n ia sft3 rei
