COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be gratifed 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 6rst 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 desirous TO 60 OUT to sell tickets 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 prsva-
ence Of fever at Rio de Jansiro al the time, pre-
vented their ships from rsarhing Panama az soon
n anticipated. and caused Sesention At the 18TH
mus, which was increase b. the impssisnce Of
passsnesrs in going forward, ~eaiast the advice
Of the Company, al 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 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

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stsy 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

A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
II STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIErv.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d
oath. and 25th days of October, your Society VIII
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your Stock
the products of your orchards, aud Of your gardens
Don't 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 calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tjled to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
an are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
pivss and Daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments as ebrosaery, mouse
hold manufactures, the proascs Of the dairy and Of
the poultry gard preserves. domestic p,nss, eoee-
fions and, above all things to come themselves, as
scttkoWf rona, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
este and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
snd Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advlces,
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 .4griculturdi
Jmpment makers and Mechanics of the United States,
make il matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold stree,
IL Nsw York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
commenced the publication of a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
:" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
ny HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor OF the Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
NY JOHN t. NoRrON, Nj "A, 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 lS or 30 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 1t of incaculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthy
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents EACH or IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
The LONDON QUARrERir REVIEW CONSERVATIVE +,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whg),
The NORTH British REVIEW Free Church),
The WEsrmiSsrER Review (Liberal.5
AND
BLAcKwooD'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. II is their literary character which gives
them their chief value and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class.
Blackioood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
Its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons' and "My
New Novel; Doth by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
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.
Backwood, after IL has been issued by .nessrs Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliesi
reading of these fascinating tales.
