FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
OMPANY--THROUGH PASSAGE TO

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIME public will be gratfed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed 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 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 Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention ut 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 all removed.
