Infirmary, under the same roof with the College
and subject to the entire control of the Faculty, is
at all times well filled with medical and surgical
cases, and furnishes peculiar facilities for clinical
instruction. Many surgical operations are performed
in presence of the class; and the students
being freely admitted to the wards, enjoy, under
the guidance of the Professors, unusual opportunities
for becoming familiar with the symptoms,
diagnosis, and treatment of disease.

A PPEAL to the Member* or the Maryland
/X State Agricultural Society.?Wedesire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
24th, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city of
Baltimore : and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products of your orchards, and of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
ana be thus deterred from bringing tliem, as it is
' 1 ?~ m??rim of anv

thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good, if not belter than that of others, and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list of
competition : if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more entled
to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave permission
to solicit your interest, to induce your
wives und daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, household
manufactures, the products of the dairy and of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic wines, confec- |
tions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
without woman, and the beautiful elaborations of her
taste and genius, no display can be jierfect.
To the Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements I
ami Tools, we would say, that interest and patri- I
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the propriety
of making a grand exhibition of your machinery
of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farmers
and planters, and of distinguished strangere
from most ol the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the Agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics of the United Stales,
make it a matter of pride to display your machinery
at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable?is worthy o
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
Editors with whom we exchange will confer
a favor by copying this notice.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY? THROUGH P.1S8.1QE TO
C.iLlFORJslJi.
THE public will be gratified to learn that the
I United States Mail Steamship Company areenaoled
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, Dy providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
shins from New York to Chagres, they were prevailed
upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from a desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no 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 prevalence
of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, prevented
their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Isthmus,
which was increased by the impatience of
passengers in going forwurd, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
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 Francisco,
will be performed with regularity and despatch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Francisco,
consists of the
REPUBLIC, Caiu. Hudson.
ITHMUS, Capt. Hitchcock.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peck.
ANTELOPE, Capt. Acki.et.
Their Atluntic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Cupt. Schenck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. Hartstein, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefullly and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Punama,
will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodation! of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid,and pleasant through passage to California.

The publishers have expended a large sum of
money to get original drawings of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every work on the sudject, whether published
in England, France, or Germany, the most
essential parts of which being comprised in this
Dictionary, render it as perfect and comprehensive
as possible. The publishers have endeavored
to use great economy in type, so that each page of
i the woik contains at least four times the number
of words found in ordinary pages of the same size.
This has also secured to each plate woikinn-diawngs
of ample size and clearness, so that a Mechanic
may construct accurately any machine described.
'I he publishers are, in short determined, regardless
of cost, to make the work as complete as possible
; and it is hoped every one desirous to obtain
the work will procure it as issued in numbers, and
thus encourage the enterprise.
The work will be issued in semi-monthly numbers,
commencing in January, I860, and will progress
uit'i great regularity.
The whole work will be published in 40 numbers
at 25 cents per number, and completed within
the current year, 1850. A liberal discount will
be made to agents.
Any one remitting the publishers $10 in advance
shall receive the work through the post office free
of expense.
Police to Proprietors of Jsevespnptr* throughout the
t oiled States ami Canada.
If the foregoing advertisement is inserted five
times during the year, and the paper containing it
sent to us, it ropy of the work will be sent gratia
in payment.

PREPARATORY NOTICE.
The enterprise in which we now {embark, and
of which this paper is at once the sommencement,
and a sample of the papers that are to follow, has
for its aim no less a purpose, than to impart instruction,
in the general and detail, to the Officers
and Agents of the American public, in respect both
to their duties and their rights, and to make them,
and the people at large, acquainted with the organization,
decisions and action of the Executive departments
of their Government. There has liiih
erto leen no veliicle for the rseular and proper
communication of information of this kind. The
publication of the Lawa and the issue of instructions,
more or less comprehensive, and at intervals
more or less extended, have proved wholly inadequate,
in the absence of the construction of those
Laws, as applied to particular cases, and of details j
and illustrations to make the regulations and instructions
intelligible. The valuable documents {
annually reported to Congress,ure too voluminous,
and are printed in quantities too small for general
circulation; whilst the debates in Congress and
the commentaries of the press upon their proceed|
iugs, and the proceedings of the Executive branch
of the Government, besides turning mostly upon
general principles, address themselves only to
onrty ends, and to matters of national policy.
I These publications in their various forms are
j highly useful in themselves as far as they go, and
some of them indispensable; but there is much
j that do not reach the hand* of all, nor if they did, j
do they furnish those rules, methods, and exam- j
pies, for the despatch of the public business which |
can render the discharge of public duty either safe i
or easy, whether in respect to the incumbent himself,
or the department or bureau under which he
acts. We shall make an honest effort to supply
this vacuum, and to provide for these necessities.
If we succeed in rendering the functions of the
primsry offices more uniform, methodical, and exact,
we shall make the administrative duties of the
departments more easy and effective, and thereby
| promote tiie real and substantial interests of the
country. And this we expect to do, to some ex[
tent at least?apart from, and independently of
any party or personal interest or question whalj
ever.
It is known to most of those to whom this paper
will be sent, that the Senior Editor was Audi
lor or me rosi-umce uepnrtmenc until tne nioniii
of November last; with by far the larger portion
of both postmasters antl contractors, lie has had
direct intercourse, in person or by letter. He eni
tered the department fourteen years since, and for
1 many years previously, had been, first in the War
.Department, aid subsequently in the Treasury,
i He has therefore had the best opportunities for
understanding the arrangements or business in all
the departments, and being acquainted with those
who carry it on. Since his official connection with
; the Government ceased, he flatters himself he has
I preserved the respect and regard of most of the
C' resent incumbents of the departments, and is on
ecoming terms of intercourse and civility with
I them all. The Junior Editor, has been assiduously
engaged for several years, in studying, by personal
inquiry and examination, the practical and
daily routine and details of the Post-Office und
I otner branches of the public bus'npss. It is with
ibis stock of experience, and these advantages for
II reaching the various sources of administrative uc|
lion, and for imparting mtnute and illustrative instruction,
and valuable periodicul and statistical
i information, that we challenge your confidence
and solicit your support and patronage.
We have fixed upon the 15th of each month as
the day for the publication of our paper, so as to
afford time for obtaining from the departments,
all the orders, notices and changes issued, or made
by iliem during the preceding month. Tables of
Post Offices, and compilations of the Lnws and
Regulations, are issued by the Post Office Department
only once in two or three years. It is a
matter of inconvenience and complaint, for which
hitherto there has been no remedy, that in one
month from the time of these issues, there are offices
in the tableR which are no longer in ope ation,
and offices in operation which are not in the tables.
At this time there are perhaps over three thousand
offices of the two descriptions. In like manner
laws have been passed and regulations established
since the issue of the last volume of regulations,
of which many postmasters and others are wholly
ignorant; We propose to prevent, for the present,
any increase or the evil of either kind, and from
the time another issue shall be made, our paper
will furnish the additions, corrections, and modifications,
made in each month, and by being filed
and preserved, will afford to postmasters full and
avanl infnrmnlinn imnn linfli Riiltiprti. tin to miiH
for time being. How much of the prevent misdirection,
remaiiing, doubt, confUsion, error nnd
imposition, will be saved by the progressive state
of full and exact knowledge, for which we have
protided, and for which we engage, every intelligent
postmaster can estimate for himself.
These advantages alone and independently of all
, others, are worth many times the price we charge
for the paper, and will, it is hoped, induce every
postmaster who feels a just priue in his office, or
a patriotic regard for the credit, prosperity, and
efficiency of the whole Post Office system?at once
to subscribe. The same considerations apply to
the orders and notices, decisions, and instructions
of the War, Navy, Treasury, State, nnd Interior
departments, and the same course is intended in
respect to them. Notices of the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in cases turning upon questions
of official duty or national interest, will find a place
| in this [ ep?\
I A department of our paper addressing itself nol
| merely to postmasters and other officers of the
, Government, but to all other citizens who give ati
tention to the affairs of the nation and the progress
and devolopntent of the t* untry, will embrace in a
i condensed form the matters submitted to, or arising
in Congress. At each session a vast deal of
valuable information is communicated to Congress,
by the several departments and their subordinate
bureaus, and profound and comprehensive
reports are made by committees of both Houses.
But the great mass of the community know noth.
ing of the contents of these documents and re!
ports, except the brief notices of them, which
from time to time appear in the public papers.
The standing number printed of each documem
and report, is only twelve hundred in the Senate,
and fourteen hundred in the House of Representatives,
which at once shows the impracticability of
their dissemination. The Advektisf.r will contain
short abridgments or analysis of all these
documents and reports, and the compend will
therefore not only prove exceedingly useful and
instructive in itself, but will furnish an easy index
to those interested, whenever it is found desirable
I to obtain and examine the document at large.
There is a large field before us, the materials are
ample. It will be our zealous care to collect and
arrange them in the proper form. We have every
confidence that the subscriptions will be ample to
| enable us to accomplish it all. The information
we propose to give, comprehending and confined
1 to the action or the Government, is solid, useful,
! and (we might almost say) necessary to the officer?if
not to the citizen, it is intended for all,
and put at a price which can constitute no obstacle
with any. If at the end of the year, any subscriber

then shall we be ready to admit, that our
; h >pes and expectations have been disappointed,
I and that the contract on our part has failed.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.
Leonard scott & Co., a*o. 54 GoUitreet,
AV?> York, continue to publish the four le&Jtng
British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood's
Magazine; in addition to which they have recently
commenced the publication of a valuable Agricultural
work, called the
" Farmer's Guide to Scientific and Practical
agriculture,"
By Henry Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, autlior
of the "Book of the Farm," dt-c., &c.; assisted
by John P. Norto.v, M.A.,New Haven,Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c., <ic.
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octavo volumes, containing over 1,400
pages, with 18 or SO splendid steel engravings,
and more than 00(1 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.?dr., the various domestic
animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictnrial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of 64 pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be
at least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals re-published are as follows,
viz :
The London Quarterly Review (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review (Whig),
Tiie North British Review (Free Church),
The Westminster Review (Liberal.)
and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political subjects.
It is their literary character which gives
tliern their chief value, and in that they stand con.
| fessedly far above all other journals of their class.
Hlackwood, mill under the masterly guidance of
Christopher North, maintains 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
its column s both in Great Britain and in the United
Sluies. Such works as "The Caxtoris" and "jVly
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medul," "The Green Hand," and other seriuls,
of which numerous tivhI editions are issued uy the
lending publishers in this chuutry, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages oBlackwood,
after it has been issued by Messrs. Scotso
that subscribers to the reprint ofthat
I vlagazme may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

MEMORIAL.
To the Sennit and House of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assembled: The memorial
of the undersigned, respectfully represent* that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
ofiWth of September* 1850, that they are inrttrmed
and (relieve that the unlocaied warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reaide 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 memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume."
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. Tbey
| therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
| may be so modified as to make the warrants for
J bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
j pray, Ac.
