CALIFORNIA;

N0ITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
OMPANY--TIiROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIME public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are 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 n advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages III 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 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 Franz
cisco, consists of the

GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. ~
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that delay
beyond the usual stay ofthe 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.

Lara towards the work, and Afterwards released
the company from the obligation 10 pay the loan.
1t will thus be seen that the execution of his
great Improvement was pursued through nine
teen years, and it was not accomplished without
calling into reputation both the rssousces Of
the State and the means of her citizens.
In the infancy of the American railroad sys-
tenn, and for ten years thereafter, il was the
rule to extend to every important enterprise OF
that character the assistance of the State in
which it was to DO built.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Mississippi,
and some other States adopted extensive sys-
TENS OF improvements, consisting OF railroads
and canals, which they pursued until their credit
failed; an event which hppened in most cases
before any Of the works had been completed
and brought into profitable use. But the gene
raj Practice was to charter companies, each of
which was charged with the execution of s0me
particular work, and to aid them by loans of
State stocks. Although this practice has fallen
into so much disfavor in some of the States that
the citizens have incorporated in their constitu-
ton articles prohibiting advances by their lcgis-
latures for such purposes, il is yet continued by
others, and Virginia, Tennessee, and other
States are now prosecuting expensive works,
considered essential to their prosperity, by
ries.
In the year 1850 Congress passed an act, after
very protracted discussion, granting to the
State Of Illinois about 2, 100000 acres of pub
lie lands to aid in the construction of the cen.
trail railroad, to which alluson has been before
made. This magnificent donation is reckoned
by the company to which Illinois has confded
the building Of the road, to be worth $lS ,000,-
900. This was the first instance in which
the aid Of the national government had been
extended to railroad project.
But since the above grant innumerable appli,
cations have been made from all the new States
for cessions Of land for railroad purposes
Whether such further aid shall be extended ID
now much-sgitated question in American poll
tics. Bills are pending in Congress proposing
to cede for these purposes abo ut 20,000,00O OF
acres.
