MEMORIAL.

To The Senate aud House Of Representatives ofthe
limited 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,
Thai thew do not expect desire to reside on tho
land thus granted; that # 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 sell the warrant
Your memoraIis,s further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum e.
that the officers and volunteers emitted 10 bounty
lands. are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the mos, intel
ligent 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 assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

THE public will be gratihed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company
abled 10 announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the frat 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 10 sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from a 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-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro ut the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
IA anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, WHICH was Increased by the mpatence 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
vovage through from New York to San frhn-

pages, with IL 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

The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of Ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 each, or IS for
