To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
IJuil,d 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,
hot tbev 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 animal
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoralists further represent that the law,
bv preventing the sale Of the warrants, assam 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent TO act iut theWseVes'
whereas many of them are among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants Tor
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever

oMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.

TIME public will be gratfed TO learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company 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 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 done
from desire TO accommodate those who could
procure passages III no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco 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
anticipated and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions 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 that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
CISCO will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Iheir racine Line, from fahaiiiu 10 Dan run

The connection between the two lines will be
beyond the usual stay of 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
