DRACTlCE in the, Supreme Court of
IL United States, ana In the Courts the Dis
trict Of Columbia ana attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
SIR latter Consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail- Roads in the United States the
undersigned propose to establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic Railroad statistics and
such other information will enable them to serve
persons desiring to invest in Rail Road securities
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Rail-,
Roads They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the ma so as to ar-
thorize the Post Office Department contract ft1
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and, instead #
paying as now, quarterly on contracts for foti
years, TO advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, cbargeable upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int.
rest upon which at 6 per cent. would equal ii E
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead Of paying $500 mile, per ar
num- the Department should deliver, on aconiract
n perpetuty, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest of five per centum At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
saved would creates sinking fund which WILL in
fewyears pay otiihe Bonds and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by elfectng vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
q consequent reduction of the rates of postage
The effect will be no less advantageous TO Rail
Road Companies than 10 the government For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
AZ, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day, aud greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
penraion, partly contingent upon the success OF
ihe measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
priey of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as to the details of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbrngng the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from You at your earliest con.
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't

VNHE public will be gratfed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements 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 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 soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers i'm 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

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:
