highest style of the art, illustrating almost every

hayinS, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
&c animals IN their highest perfection; in short,
the piciorisi feature of the book is unique, and

them their chief value, and in that they stand

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SH Up
CoMPANY-TH THROUGH PASSAGE TO
H CALIFORNIA.

V,HE public viii be gratifed 70 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 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 preya-
lence Of fever al Rio de Janero 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 earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions 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

TJnif,d States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
,hev are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thev do not expect or desire TO reside on tho
land thus granted; that if patented TO them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes viii be ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid il permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
bv preventing the sale Of the warrants, assumei
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
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabls, and they will ever
pray, &c.
