UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIr
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

fI'HE pubic will be gratihed To learn that the
j. United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are no W
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
nom desire TO accommodate those who could
procure passages in 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 are 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.
