THE public will be grati6sd to learn that tho
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed TO announce that their 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 desirous to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This 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 Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama us soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which 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
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.
lHeH Idclnc Lines from fuiiafna 10 san FRAN
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
TTHMUS, Capt. HircHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt PkcK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcgLEY

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA. Capt PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. SCHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEIN, U. S. NJ
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay ofthe ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chaeres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

We call upon the Southern merchants generally
Ia semi their business cards, that we may hay
them before the country, TO enable the friends of
Southern commerce, manufactures, &c, to dis
crIminate properly IN their desire to promote South
eru enterprise.
The importance Of Washington city, as point
of location for such journal, especially in regard
to opening foreign espo dence 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 Of general co operation not to be found else
where.

we look confidently for support; and TO the friends
