, FOR CALIFORNIA.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
MPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIME public will be gratfed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengs 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 DESTROYS 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 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. HITcHCocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLET.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, u. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHEscK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Cspt. HARTsTEIH, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, that no delay
beyond the usual stoy 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.

The Great Invention Of the Age !7-Stssm Sup.
planted Gas Triumphant

vYNHE first half ofthe nineteenth century will be
IL recorded as the age ofSteam. 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
commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLiGnrEs the world
This age has now commenced, and with It ID now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G. +. Solomon, 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 carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
;and having just received. letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, now offers TO
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u.
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panies, the rights of States, countless or cities.
The immense saving Of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the US
of this new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power IL now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great Expense bulk and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the coton-gn to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
300 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working well at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ] c. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in its application to engine.
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll oft he vessel independent of the engineer, tina
he can" right-abou-face" a man-ofwar in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his 'lmproyed Spring Saddle, y
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
rider.
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &C., may
be promptly obtained by addressing

WITHDRAWAL OF THE New York AND NEW
ORLEANS LINE OF STEAmERs.-A letter from
New York to the New Orleans Picayune says
The steamers Union and Winfield Scott, which
have so many times brought you news and pa
pers in advance of the mail, regret 10 say, have
been withdrawn from the line, there not being
sufficient patronage to warrant their continuance.
The Union is to run on the Chagres route, and
the Winfield Scott is up for voyage to San
Francisco around the Horn.
The only steamers now that will touch at
New Orleans, will be those from New York ria
Havana, and the regular Havana and New Or
leans steamers, 80 that there will be no regular
and direct line between the two great CONNER
cal cities of the Union. This is to be regretted,
but of course the owners are not to blame, for
what they could not make by the old route in a
year, can be made under the present new ar
rangement in three months, and as profit is the
main thing, and at the same time the main spring,
they were compelled TO adopt the course they
have taken.
