FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STE AM SH Up
MPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO


TNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 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
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 desrous 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
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 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 HUpsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt HITcHcocK.
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. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEM, u. g. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that 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 to California.

proved
TERRITORIAL BUSINESS.
The SPEAKER stated the first business in or
der to be the consideration Of the bill for the
siruciion Of military roads in Oregon territory.
MIR. RICHARDSON thought that the discus
aion on this bill would be continued at some
length, and as it was not likely that Congress
would give any other than the present week for
the consideration ofterritoral business, he would
move that the House go into Committee Of the
Whole.
The motion was agreed To.
And the House accordingly went into Commit
tee Of the Whole on the state OF the Union, Mr..
SrAxroS, of Tennessee, in the chair, i and pro-
ceeded TO consider the bill to authorize the Iegis-
troll the appropriations TO be made by Congress
for the support Of the government Of said terri
tories.
Mr.. RICHARDSON briefly explained the bill,
when
Il was laid aside to be reported to the House
with the recommendation that il do pass.
The committee next took up the bill making an
appropriation for the completion Of the public
buildings in the territory Of Minnesota, and It was
laid eside to be reported TO the House with the
recommendation that il do pass.
The bill next taken up was the bill Of the Sen
ate relating to the salaries Of officers Of the terri
tories of the United States and to repeal the pro-
viso in the act entitled g An act making appropr-
aions for the civil and diplomatic expenses Of the
government for the year ending the 3Oth Of June,
1852. and for other purposes, approved March
3, 1851.
long and unipteresting debate took place, as
TO the merits Of the bill, which occupied the re-
mandtr Of the day.
