r EONARD SCOTT T. Co., No. 81 Gold street

ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'

ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
GARNER GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcriCAL
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. S., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor Of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.. assisted
Ivy JOHN p. NoRroN, M a, New Hav en-, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., 60
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 18 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 900 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbnndry 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
engravngs, and is sold at IS cents each, 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:

HE EDINBUROH REVIEW w niRJ,
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EplNBuRGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades1above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political SUBJ
iects. II is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fesssdly far above all other journals oftheir class
Black,rood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, maintars its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as ''The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, ''The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o

MEMORIAL

To the Senate and House of Representatives ofths
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 informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or dSsire 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 memoralists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assum ..
lands, are not competent to a. tSaJ{ hemseives.
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 40 moulded as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
