FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
= COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
California;

TIME public will be gratiied to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company areen-
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 DESTROYS TO go OUT to cell 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 ny
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties. and the preva-
ence Of fever at Rio de JaneirO at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama az soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
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 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.
TTHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcxLKy.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. SCHENCK, U. >. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, y. S. 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'
MAJ 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

Mode of Collecting Debts.

There arc divers fashions in TIL.
world which those who do not follow
or participate in know nothing about
and perhaps never he.krl Of Among
other curious matters, the Mahratta
and Ceylon nodes of collecting debts
lately met our eye ID a curious old
book, and as debt collecting is at
tempted to a great extent in all
communities, perhaps some creditors
may derive u seGal hiht Is from the de
scription, which We shall condense
for their benefit,
First for Mahratta. There it was,
and for. aught We know still is, the
fisIion Of the ereditd II to bring his
debtor to Il lial Of stPnach. After
all other me Us pres Of persuading
payment had been follhd of no avail,
the creditor has only | b walk to the
house of his deb tor, aid squat down
at the door of it, That constitutes
him the master and k Kfeper. While
he sits there he heithdG eats himself,
nor suffers the dRbtor to eat. Moth
ing passes the unfortunate debtor 5
lips till the debt is paid; but like all
suits for debt, the creditor suffers too.
The debtor is cdnlineI to his apart
ment, and allowed tdH communicate
with only such persons as the credit
or permits, but the be$t part Of the
story is that the credit tor must not
eat eithtr. Sometimes if the debtor
is the hangriest man, be makes out
to fork dyer; sometimes the creditor
cannot stand starving, and is thus
non-suidcd. This work is also done
by deputy, bat We talk it our well
fed and comfortable officers would
hardly advocate such d custom here.
The BraIlimans have also adopted the
same pl4a of leVying. They viii sit
at mans door and stand till he fork
over a s um designated By them; and
Jas man might is well die himself as
let Brahman die, it is always found
necessary to pay the demand. 1t is
however seldom done d once, but
sufficient delay is made to try the
boggar' 5 stomach pretty eGeetually.
The Ceylon mode is more summa-
Fy. If the creditor cainot get his
money i'll any way, he goes to his
debtor, and tells him he must launch
but, orehe will kiIl-hiEnself This
hreat is no joIe--for il is carried
nto execution often enough to alarm
the debtor by remembral lee of Prece-
dents; and he knows vel fy well that
the law will kill him If The creditor
Outs his 6wnthroat, as ev very man is
Held guilty who causes t he death of
another. If but half the CeyIon
fashion prevailed in this country
S pme pettifoggers we wot Of might kill
t hemselveF | soon as they piease-but
t be last part Of the fashion would not
lie 50 agreeable.

i The San Francisco Herald gives
an estimate Of the production of
Cold in California FROM the lst
April, 1910, to the 3lst December,
1850, from which it appears that
the amount reached S6S, ,58T,59l.

Of gold dust produced by the mines
of California for the first quarter OF
1851, being Sl6l030,l55. II goes

Political economists are divided
in opinion as to the effect such an

opinion seems to be that silver will
