UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP

COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be graiifed 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 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 Chogres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS 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-
lence 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 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
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 IFom NEW 10TH W oail Eieh-
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt Hupsos.
ITIIMUS, Capt. HircHoocE.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcELEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
TO Chagres, OF the
GEoRGiA, Capt. Porter, us. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHEScK, U. ). N.
FALCON, Cppt HARTsrEiS, U 5. NJ
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stoy the shjPin 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.

n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al the city of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
The products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury OF knowing that others were more en-
tiled to success than yourself,

as are properly in your department, we crave per-
