zee Publc VIII be gratifed 10 learn that tho
j. United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their hrrange msnta 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 proyidmy
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 NE 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. HIrCHcock.

ANTELOPE, Capt. AckLEr.

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt SCHENcx, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 80 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,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California

our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market. One object of the "CorroN

stimulate the South to carry out this important
measure.
We call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send us their business cards, that we may lay

Southern commerce, manufactures, &C., to dis
crminate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.
The importance of Washington city, as point
of location for such journal, especially in regard
to opening foreign correspondence and promoting
our foreign relations, is apparent. The opportu-
nifty of seeing here, also, members of Congress
from every district of the country, present
means Of general cooperation not to be found else
where.
