We learn, also, that our statement was generally
correct in regard to the union ofthe Pacific and United
States Mail Steamship Companies, better known as
Rowland Aspinwalls and Laws Steam Lines; but
the interests Of each company will remain as here
tofore, distinct and separate; but arrangements will
be made, by which passengers and freight from New
York and New Orleans will 60 forward without de-
lay, to California and Oregon; and especially will
the operation of each company hereafter be such as
to afford additional dispatch and certainty for the
mails. In order to remove all embarrassment re-
sultng from opposition, they will be confined to tho
routes on which each company is transporting the
mails under contract with the government, the one
to the Pacific and the other to the Atlantic ocean
and, with this cooperation between these well es
tablished lines, we have doubt that passengers
and the mails will be transported with increased re-
gularity and dispatch
