| THE public will be gratified 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 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 Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which 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 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.

THE LADIES.
The galleries being densely crowded, and many
ladies', anxious to hear the speech OF the Senator

Mr.. CLEMENS said he regretted that some
older Senator did not object to the proposal, but

with the policy of Washington, but that it was
fully justified by that policy. He commended that

to be of temporary effect only, and was not adapted
