Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as II is
only bv comparison that the relative merits of any

for you to arrive at, will be that what you nave

that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list or

ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'

ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER 3 GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrtcAI
AeRicuLruRE,"
BY Henry STEPHENS, f. r. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JonS 7. NoRroN, Ma, 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 Is or 90 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 ploughng, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book il unique, and
will render it of ncalcuable value to the student
OF agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers OF "a pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above Indicated yet but a small
portion oftheir contents is devoted political sub
iects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.

Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from tn,

ral Of the undersigned respectfully represents that

and believe that the unloca'ed warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would De-

Yonr memorialists further represent that the law
bv preventing the sale of the warrants, assun sf
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

therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid

COMPANY--T4ROUGH PASSAGE TO
cal IEOR.kI-4.,

THE public will be gratihed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled TO announce that their arrangements are 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 to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific in connection with their
shins from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous TO go 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 ut the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, apd caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience 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 aud back So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York 70 oan ran run
cisco. will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the

to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. IN.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK' u ;. N, !, NJ
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEN, U, g. ~
The connection between the two lines VIII be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship IN port al 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
rapid and pleasant through passage to California
