thousands who suffer from adulterated and coun-
tereit drugs and medicines, have any suspicion of
the extent of their Until the colleges of phar-
macy took measures to secure the country against
the impostions practised by merccnary fabricators
and adulterators, the amount was incalculabie
Even now, since inspection of imported drugs
has been established in custom. house, ON their
recommendation, it requires constant attention to
keep the nuisance under check. We learn, from
the March number of the New York Journal of
Pharmacy, that the importation, manufacture, and
sale of spurious drugs are still continued, and to
an extent still quite formidable. but that they will be
gradually much reduced, and more and more kept
out OF the markets, and the shops generally. Not
only is the inspectors duty faithfully performed,
but scientific men are now more frequently asso-
ciated with dealers in drugs, suspected articles are
tested, and the results published. II would
hardly be believed that some time since a cargo
OF bark was sent to this port account of the EN-
peror of Brazil which proved to be quite worthless
and was not admitted, as it would have been in
former years.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
MPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TINE 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 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-
lerce Of fever ut Rio de Janeiro at 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 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

to Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. SCHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt HARTsTETN, u. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so 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.
