thor OF the "Book Of the Farm" &C., e. j.; assisted
by JOHN 7. NoRToN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
OF Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., 60
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with Is or 20 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 ploughing, 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 it Of incaculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at rs 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

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. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class.
Biackioood, 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 notabes,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and an y
New Novel" Doth by Bulwer) "My PENINSULA
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
which numerous rival editions are issued by tn,

MEMORIAL.

To m, Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
limited States in Congress assembled: The memo.
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thev 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 tn,
land thus granted; that if patented TO them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thev could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
bv preventing the sale Of the warrants, assuu e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act Tor themselves
wbereas 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 sssignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-THROUC PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA


TINE public will be grati6ed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company areen-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through nom
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 ther
ships from New York TO Chsgres. they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation q the great
number then dssirous 10 70 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 VINO couid
procure passages in no other quarter, and ny
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties and the preva-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro Al the time, pre-
vented their ships ffom reaching Panama az soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in going forwar against the advice
Of the Company, at an earDss d than ths ship
could pQAaitRrs rsA@A ~. -~nA- ~
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 HITcHcocK.
| COLUMBUS, Capt. PEEK.
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. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEN, U. 5. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay Oft the ship III port at rama
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
rand and pleasant through passage California.

EXECUTION of George rhuroah.

This unfortunate youth, condemned 10
death for the murder OF Rachel S~harpless,
suffered the penalty Of his bloody chine
yesterday at about . o'clock p. M., in the
priion. yard at West Chester. The same gal
lows and the same rope that launched his
uncle JaSez Boyd into eternity, were used
for the mournfuI purpose. Many applica-
tons wers.Wade TO the Sheriff for permits
sion TO witness the execution, which of
course-and very properly-ihc law did not
allow him TO crafty.
We learn from the Village Record, that
Aaron Sharpless, the father of the murdered
girl, visited George in his cell, on Saturday
last. He said in reply 10 Georges reques,
TO be forgiven, that it was the duty of all 10
forgive and forget injuries-that he freely
forgave while it was not possible 10 forget
George was entirely cool and self-possessed
Al; Ton asked George why he did the deed,
and whether he had loaded the gun that
morning, with The intention Of committing
murder. George said that he hal no cause
he had never been injured or insulted by
her, and that when he left home, he had no
Intention of shooting her. To anothor per-
son, q female friend, no said on the same
day. he had loaded the gun that morning
expressly for Rachel. George was not much
moved by the interview.

From the Mining Register.
The Present Money Pressure.

WITHIN the last year, The N. York banks
have been practising upon the tactics of Nj.
cholas Biddle and the United States Bank.
Under their Banking system the currency
has been largely inflated, heavy imports
have been encouraged, extensive specula-
tons were engaged in, and when the bank
loans had been increased from torty-two 10
SEyENTY-TWO MILLIONS, the screws
wore suddenly turned, and ALL DISCOUNTS
REFUSED.
The increase of loans in New York city
from the close of 1913 10 the close of June,
ls51-yiz: during thirty months-was thir-
iy million per month, paid out by the banks
more than they received.
For the last thirty months the banks have
seduously encouraged the creation of obi
cations 10 them, They have discounted
nearly $50, 900 per day more than was paid
into them-that is 10 say, whore they re-
ceived 81, 200 900 they paid out 81, 1850, 600,
which involved a larger payment to them
al The eEd of sixty days. Under these cir.
cums'ances, goods have been purchased
from notes and sold for other notes with
perfect faciIity.-values have improved, pri-
ces advanced, and trade been nominally
profitable. All at once, without sufficient
reason, the banks suddenly refuse 10 discount
and all the supposed profits of dealers are
sacraficed TO meet obligations to the banks.
The notes which the merchants held as cash
to apply 10 their obligations became ~valuless
at the mere bidding of a board OF directors.
Tho reason given is, that specie is too
freely exported, although the insli buttons
hold more than ever. The true motive is
however, to compel the merchants to pay
higher interest, which has advanced from
six per cent. 10 seven per cent. and this
difference in the interest on the loans makes
a difference of two and a half per cent. up.
on the bark capital, besides the profits
which the directors and their friends in tue
secret may make by selling stock short and
purchasing goods.
