rAIJFnRkLG


NNEiE public will be gratiied 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 10 Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon al the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS TO 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from a desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and ny
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the presa-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as Anticipated, and caused detention ut 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. KS
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the

ITHMUS, Capt HIrcHcocK.

GEORGIA, Capt PoRrER, U. s. NJ
OIJf0 Cant SrGvNcu II s. N
FALCON, Capt HARTsrEIN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will bt
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 Chagre'
Line, and the speed and accommodations of tn
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofth
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
thew 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 the
land thus granted; that # 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 sci the warrant
Your memorislists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled 70 bounty
lands are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen, and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 80 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c
