FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STE M SHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

V1IfE public will be gratihed 10 learn that the
! United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through ffom
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
shins from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon the urgent solicitation OF The great
number then desirous TO 20 out, to sell tickets FOR
through passages from rahama in advance, 'or
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than ny 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 as soon
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18TH
,us which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the snip
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
nov able to give the public the assurance that the

BLAcKwooD's EpNBURaH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents devoted to political sub
iects. II is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.
Biaekuood, still under the masterly guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and an y
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsulal
Medal, ""The Green Hand, and other serials
ofwhich numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages o.

arrival or the Rescue.

The ARCTIC ExPEDirIoN.-The brig Rescue, the
oonsort of the Advance, sent out by Mr.. Grnnell,
IN search of Sir John Franklin, arrived here this
morning and proceeded To the navy yard
The Rescue parted with the Advance about three
hundred miles off Cape Farewell, but since that
time no incident has occurred worthy ofspecial re-
mark.
We gather no further incidents of the expedition
additional to those obtained from Lieutenant De
Haven, of the Advance. The statement published
IN the cypress the day after that vessel arrived here
Captain Griffith says, covers every thing concern
ing the expedition.
Captain Griffith entertains the same hypothesis,
to the fate of Sir John Franklin, with Lieuen-
ant De Haven and some of the officers of the Brit
ish expediion-namely, that he is hemmed in by
the ice at point to which these expeditions have
not yet been able to penetrate.
The Rescue appears in much better condition
than her consort Her rigging is in tolerably good
order, and her hull is all sound. except u portion
of the bnlwarks, which bear evidence of the en-
braces of the ice.
The officers and crew, though suffering quite AZ
much their companions in the Advance, are
nevertheless now looking well. Most of them, now,
have left the vessel and gono to visit their families
and friends.
The Rescue has on board four Esquimaux dogs,
of the same breed those board the Advance,
already described. They are said to be capital
bear hunters, and as such invaluable compan-
ions to the Greenlander, who lives chiefly upon
that sort of food.
There are also on board some half dozen kyacks,
FISHING boats,) and great variety of other curl
osties of rare interest to the scientific world.

OPENING THE CHARTER RAuwAY.--A short
line of railway from the mouth of Charters creek
just below Pitsburg, was opened a week since.
This road extends from Coal Harbor, on the Ohio,
about FIVE miles, to the coal mines of the company.
up the steep grade of the road, one hundred and
forty five to the mile, with little apparent effort.
1t descended with the same load and an addition of
twenty cars and one hundred tons of coal, with
perfect safety, the whole train being under the
feet control of the engineer and brakemcn. This
company have incxhnustible supply of coal,
and admirable arrangements for loading coal
trains at the Mines and for discharging them into
the boats at coal ports and their operations must
conduce to cheaper coal even in this market This
is an eastern company; its capital s $500 900;
Thomas McElrath is president, and it would be diff
ficult to find one of more energy and enterprise.

We are informed by Hon. w. ID. Mclndoc who
has lately visited Washington for the purpose OF
representing the grievances of the lumbermen on
Government lands 20 the Department, that he had
men.
He states that he was informed blythe Secretary
of the Interior that il not the policy the in.
tention of the Government to inter ere with actual
settlers, or the lumber which they might manufac-
ture; that where persons went on TO unsurveycd
Government lands with the intention of becoming
actual residents they should not be nolestcd, but
would be entitled to all the rights OF pre- empuon
that arc granted in any case.
This is as had supposed. that it was not the
policy the intention of Government TO interfere
with or modest the actual settlers in the least; that
the law was only intended to prevent depredations
by spectators, who had no interest but to rob tho
aud thus reard the settlement Of the country, and
destroy its resources by rcckessly wasting as much
lumber ns was marketed. - Wisconsin Express.
