nWING to the late revolutions and countcr-revo-
" lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and of which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the elabo-
rate and ponderous tYeases to be furnished by the his
orian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz

House proceeded to reconsider the vote on the
naval discipline bill
Mr.. BOCOCK, from Virginia, who had the
floor, ad dressed the House with reference to the
original . i'll, and that which had been proposed
as a sub stitute by his colleague, M! MLLsoN,l
which as we'll as that proposed by the chairman
Of the Naval Committee, he admitted contained
some suggestions worthy Of the consideration OF
the House. He then alluded to the neglect of
Congress to take into consideration the subject OF
naval discipline, Notwithstanding the universal
call from all parts Of the country for it's interfer
ence. and went on to review the course which had
been invariably pursued. until the bill which had
reSentlv been reported back by the Naval Com
mittee, with the proposed amendments, had been
rejected by large majority. The desire to abol-
isl capital punishment, which at present exists,
he attributed to false philanthropy, and thought
the interests and welfare Of society would be best
promoted, by enforcing the laws and Furnishing ing
the criminal. After referring to the law Of 1900
for the government Of the navy, he expressed him
self in hvor Of that mode of punishment on ship
board, which would enable man promptly to
return to his duty--he was opposed to special
courts martial as being Objectionable, and was in

FOR CALIFORNIA.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
ANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO =
CALIFORNIA.
TINE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are no W
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-
lence 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 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 Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt AcKLEY
Their'Atantc and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Copt. HARrsTEM, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stoy 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.
