vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then dearous 10 go out, TO sell tickets Coz
through passages from Panama IN advance, toi
their ships then going round This WAS done
from desire to accommodate those who couio
procure passages IN other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention they
would reach san Francisco sooner than by Jcpy
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Jauero at the time, nre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama az soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers IN going forward, against the ad vice
of the Company, al an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama
these interruptions now all removed.
Three of the four ships of the Company, intended
Tor 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.
