FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA


nrHE public will be gratiied 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
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS to go out, TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going roDd This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages IN no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detenton 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 as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which increased by the impatience or
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the snip
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are 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. HTcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peek.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY

to Chagres, of the
| GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt SoHENcK, U. s. N.
FALCON, Cept. HARTsTEM, 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 faha-
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

To m, Senate and House Of Representatives. aftht
United STATES in Congre. assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 3sth of September, 1850, that they 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 snnuel
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assumes
that tho officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act Tor themselves
wherens many Of them are among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands sssgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
