vINO THE PUBLlC.--We the undersigned, hav-
Il ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia to New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance of the agents Of the line that it
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found it SO entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, we deem ii duty to the public to make
known the facts. The steamer Independence, in
which we left San Francisco, brought down more
than double the number OF passengers she could
accommodate and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her The boat, too, is unfit and unsafe
boat. The consequence was, that our passage to
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
fering.
We confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
an del Sud, to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, as we had
been led to believe that the transit would not re
quire more than forty eight hours. We found,
however, that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them; that, after remain
ing two days, many of the passengers set oil on
foot under the assurance that their baggage would
be forwarded to them, and that the steamer would
not leave Panama without il. We found the road
to Lake Nicaragua nearly impracticable, and the
distance, instead Of being twelve miles, many of
us had to travel thirty. The boats on the lake and
river arc very small and unfit for passengers, and,
although packed like slave ships, could not take
half Of the passengers. We were without food, and
exposed to violent rains On the seventh day we
reached San Juan del Nortc, and were forced to
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not moro
have been able to get through; the remainder.
some two hundred, being left on the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage. We were most
uncivy received and miscrably provided for on
board the Promethcus. In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindness of Captain
Schcnck we were received on board the Ohio.
1t is not necessary to give detailed account of
the annoyances to which we have been subjected
by the Misrepresentation and insolence of agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it is enough to express our
conviction that under the present management,
and in the present condition Of the roads, and the
present means of transportation, the Panama route
is preferable to that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion, we beg to return our thanks to
Captain Schenck, of the steamship Ohio, for the
courteous treatment we have received from him
during our boistcrous passage, and particularly
for receiving on board, as it was contrary, we
informed to his instructions to receive passen-
gers from the opposition line.

Increase Of Reading Matter!

THE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
present many novel features suited to the ad-
yancing demands of the public taste. 1t has ever
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host OF imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''are suffi.
Gent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
mesa with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF
what s yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. tits sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features Of the
LADYs Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature. 1t is

female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con
tain in addition to the most beautiful and

tlonal quantity Of reading by American authors:

thousands Of notices that We have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that it is the mort
magnificent periodical in the World'
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price is ten dollars year.

TO the taste OF the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
