THE public will be grstifed 70 learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
ablsd To- announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
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, ia connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then desirous 10 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 Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
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 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.
ITHMUS, Capt. H1rcHcocK.
COLUMBUS. Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScRENcx, U. s. NJ:
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, o. 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,

editors and Judges, that. according to all these

discretion was the better part of valor,' and SO
bolted the convention.
This was no new course for The old hunkers.

they could not then get all the nominations, and
50 off they went and had another convention, and
they were not seen again until election day when
about hundred came walking along up to The
