Although these works are distinguished by the

Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Buwer and other literary notables,

its 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 are 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. Qftht
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the ACT
Of 28th of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the unIocated warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect desire to reside on tho
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 menoralists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun ef
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bount,
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

THE CUBA QUESTION.
FROM THE NEW YORK EVENING MIRROR.

When it is considered that inyasions and conspi-
racies from without have rendered the Spanish
rulers of Cuba, necessarily and naturally suspicious
to the last degree of their American neighbors ;
also, that while peculiar privileges were granted to
American steamers touching at Havana, parties en-
ployed on these steamers were aiding conspiracy
and revolution in Cuba, by facilitating ccrrespon-
dence and spreading exaggerated statements; and
one owner at least Of the steamers declaring his
readiness fog Spain by contract and boasted Of his
hundreds of thousands of muskets ready for that end
nothing in the course of the Havana authorities
especially in relation to the Crescent City, that has not
been justified by the circumstances Of the casenothing

BRIDGE MEETING IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va.

The fun proceedings Of the meeting held on Wednes
day the house of Mr. WILLIAM MEANS at Langley, in
Fairfax county Virginia having been placed in hands,
we are enabled give correct idea Of what done
As the preamble and resolutions adopted by the meeting
will be printed and published in pamphlet form, shall
content ourselves with giving synoptica account of
them.
The meeting consisted of a number of the most SUBJ
stanal farmers and citizens of the adjacent country and
organized by calling W. BALL, Esq, the presiding
magistrate Of the precinct the chair and appointing
ID. p. PALMER, Esq. Secretary.
The Chairman stated the object Of the meeting be
to speedy restoration Of
munication with Washington and Georgetown by new
bridge at the Little Falls of the Potomac in place Of the
one washed away by the freshet Of April 90, 1852.
The preamble states that act was passed March 2
1833 appropriang 1850 900 for the improvement Of the
navigation the Potomac river from Alexandria George
town. TO make turnpike road to the District line the
Virginia side of the river and 10 purchase and make for
free the bridge at the Little Falls 1t also rectes
the perpetual obligations which Georgetown incurred and
accepted under this act which she practically
knowedged and faithfully obeyed in placing bridge
there after the removal of former by freshe in the
winter Of lS40-lS41 but which she has quite disre-
garded since the feshet in April last and not only so
but by her action and interference with Congress the
recent session endeaored to supersede by contemplated
substitution Of bridge at near the rocks in the Po
tomac called the % Three Sisters e
The preamble further rectes the advantages to ina
extent of country not only Of Virginia. but Of States
south and of her. which the road leading the
Little Falls Bridge confers and hence the great necessity
OF its thorough renewal I also charges upon the Cor
poration of Georgetown imperfect performance Of its
duties under the Of 1885, with respect 10 the repairs
Of the road and failure to make the road itself safe for
travellers and stock in transit.
1t that very sufficient and substantial bridge at
the Little Falls requiring to be only 1000 feet long, can
be built for 3s340, and in from four to six months Il
whilst bridge the river mt the Three Sisters
will cost at the lowest figure $l50OO0 independently oil
from 500 5000 to $4,000 for two roads to connect
II with Alexandria and the Little Pals road west Of the
river, and consuming three years Of time in its
struction. !,

soliciting assistance from Virginia Senators and Repre-
sentatyes to provide bridge at the Little Falls and
