of the Br. ship Morley, arrived at this
port this morning from IDEAL. reports:
June Is, lat. 42, long. 46 30, spoke
the Br. brig Fancy, Of and for Liver
pool, from Mobile, WHO reported hav-
ing seen during her then passage a
ship on fire, having about $50 souls
on board"
1t was blowing very fresh at the
time of speaking, and the Captain oil
the Moreley did not heave too near
enough to understand distinctly the
account of the Brig, to do so.
All that could be learned,u under the
circumstances, was that she had been
entirely consumed, that the passen-
gers and crew were perhaps lost with
her. The fred ship, it appears, was
bound to Mobile.

CALIFORNIA.

TvHE pubhc viii be grati6sd to learn that the
| United Etakss Mail Steamship Company are en-
ablsd to annonsce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the fret 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 Chngres, they were pre-
vailed upon, II 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-
lencA Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which w4s 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

OHIO, Capt. ScHENcx, u. s. N.

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

MEMORIAL

To the Senate and House Of Representatives qfths
United States in Congre. assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that II patented TO them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memoriaIists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assurrsf
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
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
ma Y bs 30 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

cultural work, called the
/" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
by HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN I. NoRroN, M A, New Haven, Professor
OF Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c., 90
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over |, 400
pages, with l8 or 90 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than GOO 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 incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of 81 pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE
The EDMBuRoH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRirIsH REVIEW (Free Church),
The WEsrMINsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLACKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion ofther contents is devoted to political sub
jects. II is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class
Biackwood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables
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 'sM y
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My PENINSULA
Medal, ""The Green Hand, and other serials
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after IL has been issued by .Messs Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
