THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
.- FARMERS GUIDE

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.
r EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 54 Gold street
IL Nsw York, continue to publish the four lead
lug British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
~ commenced the publication Of a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER 8 GUIDE TO SclEnrlrIc AND PnAcr,cAL
AGRICULrURE,"
BY HENRr STEPHENS, f. r. g., of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Book Of the Far,n, &c., &c.; assisted
by JonN p. NoRroN, M "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 l8 or 30 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 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,
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 il Of ncalcuable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthy
numbers Of 64 pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or Is for
the entire work in numbers, ofwhich there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE J,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRrTIsH REVIEW Gree Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Lberal.)
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 Ii is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand
fessedly far above all other journals ofher class
Black,oood, 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 il
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and 'sM
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, ""The Green Hand, |" and other serials
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by tn.
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Blackwood, after has been issued by .Mesrs. Scot
r Co., that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the eariissf
reading of these fascinating tales.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL, STEAMSHI IL
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

N,HE 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 desrous 20 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 prevn-
lencc of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships ffom reaching Panama as 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. HIrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcE.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcxLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. ,. ~
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEN, 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.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chngres
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,

rr,,f,d Sfafes 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, 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 onnual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thev could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law.
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun sr
that the officers and volunteers enutsed 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
NAV be SO modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands Assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

THE POOR In EUROPE.

Mr. Perciyal, member of the Belgian Ma
tional Assembly furnishes the following facts
on pauperism in that country. Similar state
ments might be made respecting most other
countries of Europe. The support of an idle
aristocracy with immense Government salaries
and pensions, and of almost countless armies is
crushing the life out the people. In Belgium,
out of $50, 500 families which compose the pop
ulation of the country, giving an average of five
persons to family, there are l54, asa which
occupy but single room; 2S2,7S5 which
occupy but two rooms and 1892 which have
dwellings composed of three or more rooms.
Thus nearly half Of the nation live in abodef
that have only one or two rooms; and conse'
quently among them comfort the sense of he
cency and morality must be seriously wanting
The regular standing army Of Belgium consists
of 10000, beside large corps Of general anC
staff officers kept under pay for reserve o
National Guard, of 10000 or more The act
ual cost of the war establishment is abov
$5,0O0,0O0 year. The annual tax on arden
liquors alone is 100000 francs, or 81 900, 900
that makes Il great many paupers The in
| terest and amortization of the national debt
the cost of past wars and other transaction
in which the people had little if any interest
but which they had to pay for, amounted last
year to S7OOO,OOO The King gets 5000 900 a
year, when $4,000 would be ample to pay for
his services

KOSSUTUS DESTINATION.

The Newark DAILY advertiser has a letter
from Genoa, stating that the Mississippi ar
rived at Spezza, in Sardinia, on the Goth ult,
having been nine days in making the voyage
from Constantinople, whence she sailed on the
llth When the exiles came on board the
Mississippi, they were received by Mr.. Marsh,
the United States Minister at Constantinople.
Kossuth's wife and three sons were with him
The letter states that after taking in naval
stores from the naval depot at Spezzia the Mis-
sissippi would sail directly for the United States,
and would arrive before the end of October. IL
this information is correct kossuth will not
stop at Portsmouth, but will first land at New
York. At Spezzia none of the passengers were
allowed to land, owing to the quarantine regu-
lations
We learn that according to orders from
Washington, Kossuth will, on his arrival here,
be saIuted by the forts and national ships in
the harbor While he is welcomed with such
honor on the part of the Federal authorities, it
is certain that his reception will be the occa-
sion Of the most ardent manifestations of en-
thusiasm among the masses of the people
