FOR CALIFORNIA
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
MPANY-TIROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.


CALIFORNIA.
| THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| | United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
| abled to announce that their arrangements 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 desirous 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
I, 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. HuDsoN
ITHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocx
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. SCHENcK, u. S. N.
| FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEIN, U. S. N.
| The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stoy of the ship in port 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.

The Great Invention Of the Age steam Sup

gINTIE first half of the nineteenth century will

vIN1E first half Of the nineteenth century will be
i recorded as the age of Steam. 1t has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century will be known
as commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. F. Salomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and of others in attempts to make the
principle of the condensation of carbonc acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
;and having just received for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, "now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the U.
States government, and to individuals to COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering. secured by the use
of this motor, will inevitably insure It's speedy y
adoption in all places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
gine has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the slngle-horse power
for the cotton-gn to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
Daces, fuel and fremen, and fbulk and weight
100 tons weight suificng for the same power of
900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now

following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the

MIR. CLARK, Of Iowa, also favored it, and
said that large fraction of his constituents had
