FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
CoMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

.'JNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
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 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 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-
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 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
yoyase 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 HIToHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA. Capt. Porter, U: S: n,
OHIO, Capt. ScHEEcK, q. s. n,
FALCON, Capt HARTsTErN, 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 Puna'
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 and pleasant through passage to California

MEMORIAL.
To The Senate and House Of Representatives Of the
United STATES IN Congress assembled: The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be.
that they 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
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoralists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves
whereas many Of them are among the most 1ntel
gent and respectable citizens of the ota'es aney
therefore respectfully ask that the act aloressla
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabIe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
