AND
BLAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory)
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. IL is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals Of their class.
BlackiCood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary noables
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 "My
New Novel; (both by Bulwer) "My Peninsuar
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after il has been issued by Messrs Scofs
& Co., that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
~ A(AI IEf0RNIa


rTNHE public will be grAti6ed to learn that the
j 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
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS to 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 soon
as anticipated, and caused detention ut 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 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. HIrcHcocx.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRrER, u. S. N.
OHIO, Capt ScHENcK, U. s. NJ.
FALCON, Capt HARrsrEM, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so that no delay
beyond the usual stay the ship in port at Pana-
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.

Your memoriasts further represent that the law.

that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,

lieent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully nsk that the act aforesaid
may be 80 modified az to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c. Ht
