To The Senate and House Of Representatives. efths
United STATES in Congress assembled The memo.
rial 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
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e,
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
bgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 80 modified ms to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

E0NARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold street
IL JNsw York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agr-
cultural work, called the
/" FARMER's GUIDE TO ScIENr,Fic AND PRAcTucAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY Henry STEPHENS, f. r. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor ofthe "Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN Z. NORTON, Nj a., New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 10 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than GOO 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 ploughng, planting,
haylng, harvesting, &C., &c, the various domes-
tic animals IN their highest perfection; in short
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render 1t of incalcuable value to the student
Of 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
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-pubished are as fol-
lows, viz:
TnE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
TnE EDINBURcH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsm REVIEW Free church,,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. Ii is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Backwood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is at this tme unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing ii
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as 'sThe Caxtons" and an /,
New Novel" doth by Buwer) "My Peninsula
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
of which numerous rival editions are issued by tn,
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Blackwood, after il has been issued by Messrs Scot
Ia Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of thai
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHI IL
- COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA,


VsIE 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 70 California. by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chsgres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
m nber then DESTROYS 10 60 out, to cell tickets for
thr ugh 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 Che impausncs OF
passengers in going forward, against the sdvce
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. ~
n 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 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

| OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. s. NJ.
| FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, 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. N4#
