FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.


TIME public will be gratiied to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
a6led 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
shps 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-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
US anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was Increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Comparrx at an earlier day than the ship
could possibiy reach Papsma
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.
ITFfMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt ScHENcK, U. D ~.
FALCON, Capt HARTsTEIN, u ). 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 rana-
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 Line, offer the most certain
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO California

THE MoDoxouGH BEQuEsr.--A despatch from
New Orleans, dated the LIST instant, states that
the suit which was some time since brought by
the counsel for BENZ. G. Howard and Brantz
Mayer, of Baltimore, and the Rev. r. r. Cur
ley, Of Washington, in the fifth district court,
in opposition to their exclusion by the New Or
leans executors In the distribution of the per
centage on the McDonough estate, amounting
to $62,348 20, was that day disposed Of by
Judge Buchanan, who delivered the opinion Of
the court rejecting the claims Of Messrs. Cur
ley, Howard, and Mayer to any portion of their
per centage.
It appears to US to be very certain, first, that
Mr.. McDonough never contemplated the reno
val of these gentlemen with their families to
New Orleans to attend to this bequest; second
ly, that he desired their counsels and agency In
its management; thirdly, that he was not the
man to wish this without recompense; fourthly,
that by excluding them the acquisitions Of the
will cannot be complied with filthy, that they
should not peform any labor nor assume any
responsibility without the usual reward; and,
sixthly, as corollary of oil these positions,
that they should be retained as executors with
their share of the commissions. Butof course q
New Orleans court knows more about these
things than we do.
