CoMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

THE public will be grati6ed TO learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that theirh arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York 10 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 10 20 out, 70 sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire 10 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 prevs-
epce Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama rs soon
rs 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, al 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 ofthem have performed trips TO San
Francisco snd 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, viii be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocE.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PICK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEI.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
10 Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRTER, U. s. N.
OHIO. Can't SCIENCE, u. s. N.
FALCON, Cept. HARTsrErS, U. 8. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefnlIly-and regularly kept UP, so that no delay
beyond the usual say Of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, wiz 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 10 California.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE

| r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold street
| IL Nsw York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
lily commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER IS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PnAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. S., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the 'sBook Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN T. NoRfoN, M A, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., Go
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with Is or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than GOO engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
having, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render il Of incaculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at IS cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
TIE EDISBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NoRTH BRITIsH REVIEW Gree Church,;
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Niberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDNBUReH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. II is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.
BIaekiuood, still under the mastery guidance OF
CHRISTOPHER NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is at this time unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsuar
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have 10 be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Blackwood, after has been issued by Juesss Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.
