ADDITIONAL PAGES ASKED FoR.
Mr.. JOHNSON, OF Arkansas, by unanimous
consent OF the House, introduced the following
resolution.
"R,,olped. That the Doorkeeper Of the House
Of Representatives be authorised, with the consent
Of the Speaker, to appoint three additional pages
on the floor Of he House"
M JOHNSON said that he believed the adop-
,on Of the resolution would facilitate business and
,hs convenience Of members. The House now
had only twelve pages to wat on 237 members,
while the Senate had eleven to wait on GO mem
hers. To give the proper proportion, the House,
,hsrefore should be entitled TO forty-two pages /.
Al nresent. some Of the members sitting on the
outside OF the bar could not get waited on under
6fteen minutes lie believed that fifteen pages
was not an unreasonable number. The door
keeners were sometimes called away from their
nroper station to perform the duties Of pages.
On the abortion Of the resolution the yeas and
navs were ordered, and il was rejected-yeas IS,

resolution. which he further explained and adj
vacated He did not think that members fully

false notion Of economy which some members
entertained.
Mr. BROWN, OF Mississippi, explained that
two Of the boys now here were not authorised,
hut had been employed because they were abso-
iu,slv necessary. They could not be paid unless
Inc House would authorize their payment by the
massage Of this resolution, or in some other way.
Mr. JONES, OF Tennessee, believed that in

members. but to attend in the ball; lie had
rather occasionally be subjected TO little incon-
venience than to have a superabundance OF pages,
and as general thing, there was enough ofthem
to answer all purposes.
Mr., MASON, Of Kentucky, knew OF great
many poor people who had a surp'usage OF boys,
whom they would doubtless be glad to have ap
pointed to places. The pages now receive sos
per month, or thereabouts, and $3.50 extra at the
end Of the session. lie thought that, although he
should be glad to have all the poor people accom-
modated the twelve pages now employed were suf-
fciept. II was impossible TO relieve everybody
with the contingent fund.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

CsfLIfOh.NIy1.
THE public will be grntifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled 10 announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York 10 San Francisco and back.
J. 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 10 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 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 eariierday than the snip
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are 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.

FALCON, Cept. HARrsrEN, U. 5. N;
The connection between the two lines VIII be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stsy 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.
