THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

~-~pA 4
~ FARMERS GUIDE.
r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold street
j .Ns,o York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agr-
cultural work, called the
!" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. II. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Book Of the Farm" &c., &C.. assisted
Ivy JOHN p. 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 90 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
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature Of the book in unique, and
will render it 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 IS 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 QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
The EDINBuRcH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree church,,
The WEsrMlNsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLACKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class.
Biackicood, 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 an y
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 rel
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Blackwood, after has been issued by .uesss. Scot
g. Co., that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.

CALIFORNIA.
THE public will be grati6ed to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announces that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back. q
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-
number then desrous TO 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance. for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire 70 accommodate those who could
procure phssages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisc0 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 the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlter day than The snap
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.

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofihe
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, 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 desire to reside on 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
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
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
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignnble, and they will ever
pray, &c.
