thor OF the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &c. assisted
by JOHN p. NORroN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c.

large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with IL or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement Of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &c, the various domes-
tic ANIMALS in their highest perfection; in short,
he pictorial feature of the book il unique, and
will render it Of incaculable value to the student
If agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of GA pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for

lows, viz:
HE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
The EDINRURGH REVIEW (Whig),
TIE NORTH BRI1IsH REVIEW Free church,,
TIE WESTMINSTER REVIEW \Liberal.)

Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
essedly far above all other journals oftheir class

Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
States. Such works as ''The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer) "My Peninsular
Medul, THE Green Hand" and other serials,
(which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages O.

UNITED STATES MAIL s lie AM SH Up
CoMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed to announce thar their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then DESTROYS 10 60 OUT TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire TO accommodate those who could
procure passages i'll no other quarter, ana by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, INTENDED
for the Pacific service, have arrived ut Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. SO that the Comp any are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des'
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama TO oah Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUpsoE.

ANTELOPE, Capt AcKLEY.

OHIO, Capt. ScHENCK, L. 5. NJ,
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrElN, u 5. n.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the snip IN port al r"ha-
ma, will arise.
