THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF THE

MOryland state Agricultural society.
A PPEAL TO THE MENBERs THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIErY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
oath. and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city o.
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Donr presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list OF
competition If defeated honorably, and the high
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,cipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the products Of the dairy and O
the poultry yard preserves, domestic ,cines, coVec
tio,.s, and, above all things, to Themselves a.
tcithoM tcoma1l and the beautiful Celebrations Of he'
taste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implement,
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjon upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics ofthe United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabe-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of N
United States IL, Congress assembled The memoria
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc
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 annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sci the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the la
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act Tor themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
lipent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be SO modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

FOR CALIFORNIA,
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY--THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

C.dLifOIC4NI In.
T,HE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements 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 10 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 desrons to 60 OUT 70 sell tickets ior
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 ny any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
enoe 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 impatence 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 ut 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
yoyape through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des
patch.
