The Brother Josuthda, from Chagtes, onil
Tuesday night, brought us two weeks later
news from California. The escape Of the
Irish patriot, Terence .Bellew McManus, i
from Van Diemen's Land, and his arrival az I
San Francisco, is announced by this arrival
land will diffuse much pleasure throughoutl
the whole country. Mr.. McManus was well h
coined by the citizens Of San Francisco, ia +
the most enthusiastic manner. "a public
dinner was given to him at San Francisco,

will occasion intense joy.

Steam communication across the Atlantic
bids fair, in few short years, 10 supercede
the splendid lines of packet ships, which,
but the other day, were deemed unsurpassed
and unapproachable. Boston, Isee. is about

York and Philadelphia. A line Of steam
ships TO Liverpool is projected 5y the mod
ern Athenians. with every probability Oh
success The wealthy firm of Spoffozl q
Tileston, the owners Of the packet ships
known as the Dramatic Line, have already
launched two propellers of gigantic dimen-
Isions. These propellers are almost ready
to sail. or rather, steam and two Others,
|, now on the stocks, will'be launched shortly.
, Moreover, strenuous efforts are being made
here, BY some Of the real friends OF Ireland,
to purchase large steamer to ply between

E this enterprise, funds are being raised IN
, Dublin. Cork, and other cities throughout
Ireland, to place second steamship on the
! line, in order to practically demonstrate the
: alleged superiority OF Galway, as THE Trans
E atlantic Packet Station.
