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

TINE public will be gratihed 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 Tor
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in 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-
ence 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 Impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions now all removed
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived ut 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 ana des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the

MEMORIAL.

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,
ina, 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
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants assun e
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
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified to make the warrants tor
bounty lands assignable, and they Will ever
pray, &c.
