;,rrove,oept of "a cent. The ady&a OF the last
few DAYS il based on the ARRANGEMENT for operating
the two routes to California harmonously, which We
gave the details Of come weeks since. Commodore
Vanderbilt. who il one of the most Success
hl of our steamboat managers, has been
appointed agent of the Company, wee hT.
Morgan resigned and in a few days il Is under
stood that the steamers TO San Juan and Aspnwal
Will be operated under his management, while the
Pacific Steamship Company will run both routes I'd
the Pacific The rates of passage will be advanced TO
