number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, fol
their ships then going round This was don,
from desire TO accommodate those who coult
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 Janero 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 shin
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
Tor 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

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

ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
