MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House of Representatives Of the
United States u, Congress assembled The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents mat
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, $780, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be;
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted TO- sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law.
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled bounty
lands, are not competent TO act for themselves
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States Ihey
therefore respectfully ask that the act Aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants m 10Y
bounty lands assignable, and they Will ever
pray, &c. .a4I

onlv bv comparison that the relative merits OF any

that It behooves you TO- CALAMITY enter tne lis. OF

TIME public will be gratifed to learn that the
il United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled TO announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back. -. -,..,.
In the first attempts Of this Company 70 meet
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 to go 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 in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ence 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 Impotence 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 at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company 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 San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
ITHMUS, Capt. HIroHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEiN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid land pleasant through passage to California.
