UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY--TAROUGH PASSAGE 70


THE public will he grat6sd To learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
absd 10 announce thai their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the Arst attsnpts Of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, ia connection with their
ships from New York 70 Chagrss, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then desirous 10 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama Ia advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire 70 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 az soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the, adyice
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 ofthem have performed trips 10 San
Francisco and back. SO that the Company are
now aide 70 give the public the that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. Az

MEMORIAL.

To TIE Senate aud 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, thai they are informed
and believe that the indicated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
hand thus granted; that il 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 memorinlists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assures
that the officers aud volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the net aforesaid
may be so modified rs to make the warrants for
bounty lands sssignabe, and they viii ever
pray, &C.
