To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents That
they 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,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on tho
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will he an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun II
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
gent and res spectacle citizens of the States. they
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants Tor
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

thor of the Book Of the FARM" &c, &C.; assisted
by JOHN 4. NORTON, M 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 10 or 30 splendid steel engravngs,
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 it of incaculable value to the student
of agriculture
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be

would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at RIO de Janelro at the time, pre-
vented their Ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th

passengers in gong 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 iran
