MEMORIAL.

tn The S,nafe and House Of Representatives offhe
Jyn;t,d States in Congress assembled The memo
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
,hev are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the act
Of 3sth OF September 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants 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 annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e.
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
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 80 modified as to mnke the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they viii ever
pray, &c.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.
r EONARD SCOTT e. Co., No. "a Gold street
IL .Mp 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 a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
(" TANNERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTCAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, +. r. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &c., &C.; assisted
by JOHN 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 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 poughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book in unique, and
will render it of incalculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of 81 pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 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 EDMBuRoH REVIEW (Whg),
The NoRrH BRIrIsH REVIEW Free church,,
The WEsTMINsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
BLACKwooD's EDNBuRoH MAGAZINE (Tory):
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
jects. II is their literary character which giveS
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class.
Blackwood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher NORTH maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "M
New Novel" (both by Buwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, ""The Green Hand, I" and other serials
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by th
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
lprnted by those publishers from the pages o
Backwood, after il has been issued by Messrs Scot
| & Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of tina
Magazine may always rely on having the earlies
reading Of these fascinating tales.

CALIFORNIA.
U,HE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
a6led to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back.
In the 6rst 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 10 60 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 preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama AS soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatienes 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

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 80 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
recommendations of their New York and Chagres

ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
