NEW MAIL LINE TO CALIFORNIA.
We announced some two weeks ago that the Gov.
eminent, not having confidence in the great mail
contractor to carry out his contract had msue pro-
visonal arrar cement with Commodore Vanderbilt for
carving the NewYork and Callfornia mails IN case
johnson did not come up to time.
In this arrangement, however, no provision was
mads for carving the New Orleans mails or at least,
none was known to the public.
A consolidation of steamship interests between
Commodore Vanderbilt and Marshall o. Roberts has
been m ade, by which the business Of the old United
States Mml Line will be continued without any inter-
rupton of the mails or carrying of passengers.
The mails between New-York, New-Orleans, Hs-
vsna, California and Oregon will be carried after the
old schedue-leaving each end of the routes on the
5th and Goth of every month, making as qHts fmeas
any other line.
The line on this side will be the new iron steamship
Champion, Capt. Fletcher; the North Star, and
Northern Light. The Granada, Philadelphia, aud
Empire City will probably perform the service be-
tween New York and New Orleans, connecting at
Havana as at present.
The price paid Commodore Vanderbilt for carrying
the mail at present twice MONTH is slS7,OOo,
which includes the transit over the Panama Railroad,
which at present is 800, per annum.
Vanderbilt's ships will leave the Warren street
wharf on the 5th and 2Oth and the business of the
line will be conducted at the office corner of Yves. AMI
Warren streets, the same az at present
The steamers Noses Taylor, Star of the West, and
Illinois, will be laid up for the time being.
The meils will be carried via Aspinwall till thu
Nicaragua route opened, which will be in the course
Of few months.
War to the knife is to be carried on between Van
derbilt, Garrison, and Roberts one side, and the
North Atlantic and Pacific Mail on the other.
FOR CALIFORNIA.
The steamer Star Of the West sailed yesterday fox
Aspinwal with 600 passengers, and the California
mails Among the passengers were Gen. Scott AMI
,taf, and Judge Field of the Supreme Court of Cali.
'ornia. The North Star had about 400 passengers.
The Star Of the West is the last steamer Of the old
United States Mail Steamship Company that will leave
for California. The connection with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's line, via Panama, will hence
forth be made by the steamers Atlantic, Baltic AMI
Adriatic, of the North Atlantic Steamship Company.
Mr.. William II. Wckham, for many years con-
rected with the United States Mail Company, has
been made the agent Of the line. His Office will
be on the Collins Wharf foot Of Canal street, North
River, and there and there only, may the genuine
passage tickets by this line be purchased, at ths
standard rates Of fare. BY locating the Office on ths
wharf alongside the steamer, he hopes to be able To
guard passengers against the of the ticket
