only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined The safer presumption
for you TO arrive at, will be that what you have

that it behooves you to calamity enter ihe list or

mission TO solicit your interest, to induce your
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to thsir peculiar departments, embroidery, house

priety of making grand exhibition of your ma

Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States
make it matter of pride to display your machl-

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

rVvFIE public will be gratiied to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company areen-
abled to announce that their arrangements now
complete for ssnding 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 desir0us 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 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 Janero 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 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 oil 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 aud des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama TO San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt HITcHCocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRrER, U. S. n.
OHIO, Capt. SCHENCK, u. 5. n.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, U. 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-
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 70 California
