FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL ST EAMSHI Up
ANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO

COMPANY PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
rCTIE public will be gratifed TO learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company en-
abled 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 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 than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero 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 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 ana des-
patch,
Their Pacific Line, from Panama teSan Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
IT1MUS ,sCapt. HITCHcoCK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. 8. N.
OHIO Cant ScuENCK IT s N
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEIN, o. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so that no delay
beyond the usual stey 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.

70 print by adding thereto that the report of the
Committee on Printing be referred bnck TO said
committee, and that the committee, whenever the
public printer fails to do any printing ordered BY
the House according to his contract, be instructed
To advertise for ten days for proposals for exc
cutting the printing Of Congress, and award the
printing to the lowest responsible bidder"
Mr.. BROWN, Of Mississippi, said that after
the explanation of the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Printing, (Mr. GoRMAn.) he was satisfied
that the committee had intended to confne them
selves within the letter Of the law; but he was
well satisfied that their action would lead TO an
abuse Of the law.
The Committee on Printing had right, accord
ing to the construction Of the law Of 1886, to take
so much of the printing from the person employed
to execute it, AZ he should fail or refuse to do.
Under this authority, however, they had learned
from the Chairman Of the Committee on Printing,
that they had taken from the contractor, not the
work which he had failed or refused to do, but
the work which had been withheld from him
Mr.. b. then proceeded to review the manner
in which the various printers, under the contract
system, had executed the work, declaring that
the contract system was not failure and that 1t
had not had a fair trial. He deprecated this CIV
ing of the printing to political papers, and said
that il he had his way, he would say that 1t
should be given to man who had no conneXion
with newspapers. In reply to question, he said
that he would not vote to give the printing to the
Southern Press and Rad never sought, directly or
indirectly, to give that paper any portion of the
public printing.
Before concluding. Mr.. b. gave way to motion
that the House adjourn, which being agreed to,

PARTICULARS OF THE Loss OF THE STEAM
SHIP lEDEPESDENcE-The New Orleans papers
of the I'd inst, contain the particulars of the
loss of the steamship Independence, ut Mata
gorda bay, Texas, on the 26th ult. She at
tempted to cross the bar at that place, struck
and broacbed to in the breakers, when she soon
became manageable.
The sails were then act, and the engine kept
working TO force the ship over, but all to no
purpose. The entire cargo, consisting OF as
sorted merchandise, amounting to about $l7,-
900, was then thrown overheard, but the ship
still worked to the north of the bar, and brought
up on the reef; where she bged on the 29ih,
at A. NJ, after being ashore twenty seven
hours; the engine ceased to perform only when
the fires were put out by the water, the ship
soon broke in two, and keeled off shore. The
manmast and smoke stack were then cut away
to keep the ship from keeling, so that the sea
could not break over her deck. On the evening
Of the 9th ult, the officers of the Louisiana,
with Capt. Kerr, of the propeller Rayburn, made
an attempt to reach the wreck, but failed On
the morning of the 2Sth they succeeded in
reaching her with boats, and in ten hours landed
her passengers and crew, numbering one bun
dred and fifty nine persons. During the whole
Of the 29th, the sea broke completely over
her. When the Louisiana left the scene Of
disaster, on the evening of the 30th ut., the
independence had sunk to the upper deck. The
cargo and vessel total loss.
The following are the names of those who
were lost on the 26,h, by the swapping of one
of the ships boats in attempting to leave the
wreck: Mrs Minott and three children, Mrs.
Lieut. Jones, Mr.. Hovey, chief mate. The mate
was drowned in trying to save Mrs. Jones.
