UNITED STATES MAIL STE M SH Up
COMPANY-T THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

VIE public will be gratifed 10 learn that tn
j United States Mail Steamship Company are EN-.
abled to announce that their arrang are nc
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 deslrous 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 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-
ience or fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time pre-
vented their ships nom reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the mpatence 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
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
REPUBLIC, Capt. HupsoN
ITHMUS, Capt. HrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AoKLEY.

to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEN, u. S. N
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 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.

FOREIGN MMfGRATfoN.-The impulse towards
emigration appears to be working among the
Swedes almost as powerfully as upon their
Southern neighbors. The Gotheborgs HANDLES
och Sofars Tidning has the following: "Em-
s;prants TO the United States of North America
arrive here almost daily from the interior. 1t is
now quite common to see whole tram OF
wagons closely packed with household gear
and children moving through our streets, fol-
lowed by the men and their wives on foot.
Some of these people have just sufficient means
to enable them to secure a passage; others are
so poor and destitute that to raise the necessary
money, they make compact with better fur
nished emigants, engaging, in return for pas
sage money, to serve with them a certain period
as laborers after their arrival in America"
