MEMORIAL.

To The Senate aud House Of Representatives. qfthe
United States II, 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 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 n 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 memorialsts 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
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified us to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c .t

FOR CALIFORNIA.
STATES MAIL STEA M SH Up
COMPANY-THROUG PASSAGE TO
CAJIEORkI4


VNHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company reen-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through rom
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, the urgent solicitation of the great
number then deslrous 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-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama AZ 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 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. HITcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, q. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. 5. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, U. 5. NJ
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 and pleasant through passage 70 California.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE

rARMEkS > GUIDE.
r EoNARD SCOTT e. Co., No. 54 Gold street
IL .Nfp York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER s GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. s., Of Edinburgh au-
thor Of the Book Of the Farm. &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN T. NoRros, M "A, New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, dxo
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with lS or 30 splendid steel engravings,
ana 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 ploughing, planting,
haying, 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 it Of incalculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers OF "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, 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 rs-published are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservative)
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whg),
The WEsTmiHsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals ofther class.
Biaekcood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and FIRST appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as ''The Cuxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by BuIwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
| of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages
Blackwood, after IL has been issued by hesus. Scot
4, Co., that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
