TINE public will be gratiied to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through nom
New York 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 sell 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 by
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 as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence 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 oan
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 aud des'
patch.

The connection between the two lines VIII be
