FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM sHiP
THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

TIME public will be grati6ed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 10 announce that their arrangements are 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 go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama ia 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 prevu-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama AS soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatsDce OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions 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 pan
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
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocE.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. ~
OHIO, Capt. Schemes, u. 5. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEM, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines VIII be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship IN port al rama
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

Improvements of the others we know not
but we do know that the popularity to accrue
10 the. man who introduces a bill he will
scarcely share and, consequently, as there
are great many who love this popularity,
duplicate bills must be introduced.
An attempt was made to have the SEN
tence of Gen. Talcott reviewed by Con-
gress. 1t was opposed on the ground that
Congress invariably refused to review
Court Martial proceedings in the case of

Rev. Mr.. Butler, Episcopalian, was
elected Chaplain by vote of 25 to 10.
The order of the day, on Mr.. Stewards
resolution was then taken up.
Mr. Foote again addressed the Senate.
Mr.. Cass made rather long speech for
this stage of the question.
Mr.. Berrien's amendment was further de-
bated by Messrs. Berrien, Hale, Douglas,
Dawson and Badger, and the Senate adj
journed without disposing of the question.
The House met, had some talking, did
nothing, and then adjourned to dinner

The tIisl Of Laurence Reilly for murder,
in Kings County, pending these days
past, has resulted in verdict Of guilty.
The defense attempted was insanity, and
very strong proof of insanity was offered ;
but it is not clear that proof of insanity could
not be adduced in any case where a man
commits murder.
The report Of the Corporation Festival
excludes much original and other matter.
