ARRIVAL OF THE GOLDEN AGE
Twelve Days Later from the Atlantic States -- and One Week Later from Europe

The mail steamship Golden Age, in command of J. T. Watkins, arrived at an early hour on yesterday morning, with 1,000 passengers; also full cargo of freight and U. S. Mails. T

The Journal first published the subjoined news in an extra:

It is hardly necessary to allude to the general good health prevalent among the passengers and crew, for, as usual, she has to report no deaths and no sickness, since her clearance from San Francisco. She sailed from the Island of Islanayo, where the Mail Company have now permanently established their depot for the winter.

A calm sea free from rollers, suffered passengers, and freight to be received on board without difficulty, and a bridge connecting the Island with the main land un the north side of Pfixama, distance a mile or so, will enable the Railroad Company to deliver passengers' baggage and freight by means of a short wharf immediately on board the Steamers.

The Golden Age exchanged signals Dear Cape St. Lucas with a French frigate bound down the coast, going before the wind with studding sails set.

Coming to America. This revised edition is an engrossing study of various waves of immigrants to the United States from the colonial era to the present. This is a useful book for anyone who has an interest in learning brief histories of most groups of immigrants to the United States.

It also provides a theoretical understanding of the reasons for immigration. Though it is particularly useful in its examination of the pre-colonial and colonial periods.
