ARRIVAL OF THE GOLDEN GATE

Quickest Passage Ever Made
Through from New York to San Francisco in twenty-nine Days!!

The new and magnificent steamship Golden Gate C.P. Patterson, Esq., commander, astonished our community last night by her unexpected arrival, after the quickest run from Panama that has ever been made. She left Panama on the night of the 27th ult. At 11 o’clock, and brings the large U.S. mail which left New York on the 11th of December, together with the largest number of passengers ever brought to this port in one vessel, among whom are seventy ladies and fifty children. But of this mass of human beings, we have but one death to record; the ethers, through the watchfulness and skill of her Surgeon, Doctor Holmes, will land to-day free from sickness.

The Golden Gate has thus made the passage from Panama to San Francisco, including stoppages at Acapulco, San Diego and Monterey, in less than thirteen days, and her passengers, many of whom left New York on the evening of the 11th ult. are in this city after a passage of only twenty-nine days from port to port. This is the quickest trip yet made. Her run down to Panama was made in 12 days and 1 hour.

January 12, Alta California, San Francisco

SPEED OF THE GOLDEN GATE.

As this splendid ship has already earned a very distinguished reputation for speed, an account of her performances from this port and back, will no doubt be read with interest. The minutes are exact, having been furnished through the politeness of Mr. R.B. Macy, her Purser.

The Golden Gate, belonging to the Pacific Mail Company, left San Francisco on the 5th of December at 10 o'clock A.M., and has made the voyage in thirty-five days and fifteen hours to and from Panama, during which time she remained at the latter port nine days and eighteen hours; at Acapulco one day and sixteen hours; at San Diego three hours; and at Monterey two hours, making the running time twenty-four days. In this twenty-four days she has run 6,800 miles, averaging 283-1/2 miles per day, or about 11-5.6 miles per hour. With the exception of 48 hours she had to content against strong head winds. Her passage to Panama was performed in twelve days and one hour running time, and her passengers, treasure and mails were at Chagres and embarked on board the Cherokee with fifteen days from San Francisco. Should the same despatch be accomplished on the Atlantic side, they would reach New York in less than twenty-four days from port to port.

Her passengers and mails by this trip left New York on the 11th of December, and have thus been a little more than twenty-nine days coming through This trip from Panama to San Francisco has been performed in 11 days and 23 hours running time the quickest ever made. When the mails can be sent through without the almost necessary detentions at Havana and on the Isthmus, we shall be able to make the trip in such vessels as the Golden Gate in less than twenty-two days. The mails cause invariable a delay of from four to six days. Which evil, when remedied, will give universal satisfaction, and place us nearer our Atlantic friends.

Migration in World History (Themes in World History)
Patrick Manning
Drawing on examples from a wide range of geographical regions and thematic areas, noted world historian Patrick Manning guides the reader through:

• Trade patterns, including the early Silk Road and maritime trade
• Effect of migration on empire and industry between 1700 and 1900
• The earliest human migrations
• Major language groups (illustrated with original maps)
• Examination of civilizations, farmers and pastoralists from 3000 BCE to 500 CE
• Various leading theories and debates surrounding the subject of migration.
