hayIng, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
essedly far above all other journals oftheir class.
Biackoood, 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, aud first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works AS "The Caxtons" and an y
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My PENINSULA
Medal, ""The Green Hand, and other serials
of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have TO be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after has been issued by .nesTs. Scot
& Co., that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
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 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 animal
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to SET the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assuma
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
gent and respectable citizens of the States: They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they VIII ever
pray, &c.
