FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL MSHIT
COMPANY -THROUGH PASSAGE TO

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPAN THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TINE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that then. 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 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-
ence of fever at Rio de Janero 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 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 OTk TO Ioan 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. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PoRTEN, 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, 80 that ne 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.

ing reported resolution authorizing the printing
Of $4,000 copies of the mechanical part Of the
Patent Office report for the use Of the House, and
5000 additional copies for the use of the Commits
sioner of Patents.
Mr.. CLINGMAN said that before he voted on
this resolution he desired to be informed who was
to do this printing, and on what terms lie was
yerv much surprised that so much time had
elapsed without the House being apprzed what
arrangement the Committee on Printing had made
for the execution Of the printing Of the House.
There were rumors-he could not say they were
true-that the committee had given out the print
ing at an advance Of IS per cent. upon the terms
for which responsible men had offered to do the
work
Mr. GORMAN said that this was the usual
resolution, and he would call the previous ques-
ton.
Mr. CLINGMAN moved to lay the resolution
on the table. At the suggestion of MIR. HoUsToN,
however, he withdrew the motion until after the
House should determine the question on the de-
mand for the previous question.
The House then refused to second the demand
for the previous queston-ayes 49, noes 81.
Mr.. DANIEL, with view of going into Com
mttee on private business, moved to postpone the
further consideration Of the resolution until Mon
Mr.. BROWN, of Mississippi, apprehended
that motions to suspend might interfere with the
consideration of the resolution that day, and he

Tuesday, instead of Monday.
This motion was agreed to, and the resolution
was accordingly postponed until Tuesday next.
