MEMORIAL.

To N, Senate and House Of Representatives. ofth'
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents thai
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the ac
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,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to SET the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers emitted 70 bounty
lands are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants tor
bounty lands assignable, and they VIII ever
pray, &c.

CALIFORNIA.

VNHE public will be gratihed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed 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 tks 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 10 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-
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 she 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impauence or
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
