UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
COMPANY--TH THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIME 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 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 60 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 the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama 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
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 HARTsTEfN, u. S. NJ
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 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.

vocate direct trade, manufactures, agriculture, and

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 Law

Southern commerce, manufactures, &c, to dis
criminate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.

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 ofgeneral co operation not to be found else

The journal of yesterday having been read
OBITUARY.

The journal of yesterday having been read
OBITUARY.
Mr.. MCDONALD rose and said Mr.. Speak
er, do not rise to make any motion in relation
to the ordinary business afthe House, but to per-
form the sad duty of bringing to its attention the
recent death of one fits members.
The Hon. CHARLES ANDREWS, but few days
since in our midst, evidently greatly debilitated
in body, yet strong in the belief that the mildness
of approaching summer would impart new vigor
to the springs fife, left this city on the morning
of the 18th Of April last, Cor his distant and loved
home.
By the last mail from the North the delegation
from Maine received the affecting intelligence that
their colleague has been disappointed in his hopes
and died at his residence on Pans Hill, surround
ed by his family, on Friday last.
Colonel ANDREws, although comparatively a
young man, had received many tokens from his
fellow-citizens of their esteem and confidence.
Educated a lawyer, he was called, when the
duties Of his profession were hardly begun, to
represent his town in the Legislature of the State
He was elected and served in that capacity for
three consecutive years and was chosen Speaker
of the House Of Representatives during the last
year of his service in that body.
Voluntarily returning from the legislature, he
returned to the pursuit of his profession, but was
shortly afterwards elected clerk Of the judicial
courts for the county Of Oxford.
When his official term expired, he declined
reelection to that Office, and resumed the active
business Of counsellor within the courts.
In September, $780, his political friends elected
Col. ANpREws a member Of the present Congress,
but here must end their tokens Of confidence and
esteem, as he has been caedto pass that bourne
from whence no traveller returns.
1t can hardly be said of friend that ga
prophet is without honor in his own country"
for he lived and died in his native country.
In all the various stations filled by Col. An
pREws, he fully met the measure Of private and
public expectation.
TIE dissasa which preyed upon his system and
finally proved the master of his strength, prevented
hs active participation in the transactions Of this
body, but the character Of his mind, his industry
and diligence in investigation, are strongly mani
