thor of the Shook Of the Farm" &C., &C. assisted
by JoHN p. NoRToN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., 30
FMS highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with IL or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than GOO 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 ncalculuble value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-montblv
numbers of ia pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings and is sold at % cents each, or As for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.

The NORTH BRITIsH REVIEW Gree church,
The WEsTmINsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished bv the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
Jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that thew stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Blackwood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher NORTH, maintains its ancient celebrity.
and is at this time unusually attractive, from tie
serial works Of Bulwer 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 "Mv
New Novel; (both by Buiwer,) "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 ref

MEMORIAL.
To The Senate and House Of Representatives. oSthe
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 they do not expect or 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 memoriasts further represent that the hw
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bount,
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens ofthe States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bonnty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
