FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
+ COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA,

THE public will be gratihed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
ablsd to 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, the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then DESTROYS TO 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 couid
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, Whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama rs soon
as anticipated and caused detention ut the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the lmpatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, al an earlier day than the ship
could psssi6ay reach Panasaa.
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 10 pan ran
cisco, consists of the
| REPUBLIC, Capt HupsoN.
| ITIIMUS, Capt. HITcHcocK.
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. ScuENcK, U. s. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
bevond 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 Lne offer the most certain
rand and pleasant through passage to California.
