FOR CALIFORNIA. -
UNITED STATES MAIL STE "A M SH IF
+ COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

TINE 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 DESTROYS TO 60 OUT to cell tickets for
through passages from Panama In advance, for
their ships then going round This 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-
hence fever at Rio de Juneiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at 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 that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their faclhc Line, from Panama 10 oah iran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
TTHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocx.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PEcK.
ANTELOPE, Capt AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. s. ~
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEIN, U. 8. 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 Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO California

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

r EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 50 Gold street
J. .New 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
f" FARmER's GUIDE TO ScIENrIr,c AND PRAcrlcAL
AGRcULTURE,"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, F r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN Z. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c. DC
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with Is or 90 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 poughing, 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 1t Of incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi monthly
numbers of ia pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at IS cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE
The EDiNBURoH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree church,,
The WEsrMlNsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
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 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 ofther class.
Btackrood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and this unuR,Iullv frQn the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables

Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref

Magazine may always rely on having the earliest

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. 2ffhs
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the updersgned 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 tho
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
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun Fl
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bount,
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
lieent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 40 modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
