How necessary such a Work is at the present moment; how little we know of ourselves and each other—.f those even who hve almost in contact with ou,selves_may be judged from the fact, that the interior of even our own great Colonies is as yet T^a Ir^ynita. In Asia, the vast range of the Hin.alayas, with the health-giving brecres of a northern climate, looking down upon the sun-burnt plains of India on the one side, and the sn.iling pa.^ tures of Tartary on the other, were until lately unvisited ; China and Cochin China, with their swarming milUon. of population, unfrequented; and Japan a sealed country. In America, while of the South-east w. stiU only know "Those vast shores washed by the farthest sea," of the Centre and the West we were almost wholly ignorant, except that they were inhabited by untamed savages. It a^faotha the whole of a country, since pronounced to be the n.ost beautiful in the world for scenery . weU as the "nide. .n elunate, whose valleys teem with fertility, and whose n.ountains abound with gold and other metals and to the Pae.ho, was left for two centuries in the hands of the Hudson's Bay Company, as being a region of ice .^ snow, fit only for the bear, the beaver, and the trapper.

We have now a fine prospect of the walls, which form almost an oblong s(piare, the longest sides r\iiniing from west to ea-st. 1 he ancient Jerusalem coidd not have been much more extensive than the modern city, and must have occu- pied, in its palmy days, the same site, except that it comprehended within the walls the whole of Mount Zion, but excluded Calvary, which was afterwards em losed by Adi ian.

The destruction of Jerusalem, in fnllilmcnt of his prophecy, followed within a few years. .Iiidca, after the death of Ai^iippa. was made a I'oiiiaii province, and a Homan I 'io consul ap]iointed lAcr .leriisalcm, thus destroy- iny t!:e iinlcpcndcnce of the city and aholishing its hiei-iirchi(.'i'.l or thcocratical foiin of governineiit. The Zi'alots resisted, however, ;ind were dri\in into the Temple liy the High I'riest and the people. Here John of Oiscala, driven in from (iaiilee. united his forces with the liinatiis within the city ; they together admitted the lilnmaans liy stratagem during a storm ; the l>arliaro:'s allies jilundered and slaughtered the Jews and the hi;;!i priest, and the contending tactions triumphed over the citizen.^, who, however, .sought aid in a third |iarty. and Simeon, son of (lioria.s, was nil- tiiitlid to occupy the upper city, whence he attacked the Zialots in the Temple.

It was only thirty eiijlit years after the death ot Christ, that the Teiii|ile was liiirned, so that many of those who had heard the |iredictioii of our Saviour might, also, have witnessed its tullilnient. The Jerusalem that now lies extended liefore us. is but the si'veiitceiilh shadow of the |iiiiiiilive one, for it has lieen seventeen times ca|itiil'ed. Looking from this s|iot, you may imagine that scene in the Crusaders' siege (|0!iU), when, their army having taken ii|) its |iositioii, (iodlVey's troops left their encampmi Ills liefore the Dama.sciis (!ate, and turning to the Kast descended into the Valley of Jehosliaphat, whence they pniceeded. like pea-'clul iiilgrims, to oiler up prayers on the Mount of ()li\es. It was on a Tuesday, the l.'itli of June, as ehroniclers tell us, that the Cru.sailers attacked Jeru.saleiii liy escalade, lia\iiig first hcatcn down the outer wall with their machines. The attack failed, although night, alone, put an end to the blooilshed. The Crusaders, t'eeling ceitain of .'iucces.s, had neglected to liriiig victuals, and for ten day.s were without hread, until their ships reached Jaffa; even then they suH'cred greatly from thirst, their horses and mules having drank out Siloe. were sent six miles to water, while the soldiers dug holes in the ground and pressed the damp clods to their lips ; they licked the stones wet with dew ; they drank the jmtrid water caught in hides, and even abstained from eating in the Impe of mitigating by hunger the Jiangs of thirst. On the llitli of Jnly, the great attack wa.s made. Godfrey and his two brothers, lialdwiii and Ku.--tace, fought on the towers '• like two lions defending another," \iiitil "at the hour when the Saviour gave U]> the ghost,' a Fleinisli warrior named Letolde leaped on the rani|iart.'i of the city, lie was followed bydiiicher, "Guiclier, who had coiapiered a lion." tiodfiey was the third and all the oilier knights followed their chief — sword ill hand. The enemy fled, and the .soldiers of Christ jmrsued them with loud shouts. The Count de St. Gilles, will) was outside the Zioii (.iate, heard the tumult, and suiiiuioned the Emir there to surrender, which he did. " l!ut (says the ehronicler) (iodfrey with the i'reiich was detenuiuud to avenge the ( 'lirisliau blood sjiilt by tlie fiifidelH in .Tenwalem, and to punish tlieiii for the iMlllern ^ and oiiliages to which they hiid siiliiected the pilgrims.

To "go round about Zion ami mark well lier bul- warks," ^in>) see her beauty anedfstriaii strenglli, as well as determination, in a jiilgrim traveliiT We are up and out early, strongly tempted everywhere througliout our route by narrow, intricate, half-covered streets, or rather .-illeys, darkened with ean\as where not l)y arches, to turn aside hither and thither by celebrated loca'ities. long Ijefore we have reaeluMl the gate of Zion. I'ii>sitig through this, we ])laee ourselves once moreat tlu- HouseofCaiajdias, where we ))ause(l last night in the f •ot-.tepsof the Saviour, leaving him imprisoned, and awiiitiiig the morning to be taken before the San- hetian biirving-gi-ounds. That of the English is on the .south slojie of Zion, overlooking the Valley of Uin nom. Here lie liishoji Alexander, Ixobert BaU^son, M I'., Dr. Siish that journey. On their return Costigan was e.xhuwste(l. It wiLs in the month of July, and from nine to live dreailfully hot : even." night a north wind blew, and the waves wen- Worse than in the Gulf of Lyons. 'I'l ey had .sutfered e.xecndingly from the heat, .so the s.iilor reported; Costigan taking his turn at the oars for the first five days: on the sixth day the water was ex- haustet«-d, and unable any longer ti> pull an oar. There he iua he wa,s, the .sailor set off for Ji'richo; and, in the meantime, poor Costigan was found by some ArabK ou the tJiure, a dyiuy man, and by the intercession of an old womnn was carried to Jericho. He was ne.\t conveyed up to .lenisalem, where he died in the Uitin Convent ; but he never once afterwards re- ferred to his unhaiipy voyage; remaining silent and — as the peiijile about him imagined — terror stricken at the horrors lie liad seen while floating over the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. We now enter the city by the Zion Gate. Turn to the left towards the Jewisji ipiarter where, even belore reaching it, we find our .selves in the midst of all kiml of filth, ruins, and le enclosure liouses of the must avoid. lOUse-tops" is t'e where the ining wooDpi, K'r is twirling Valley „f 'i towards s iinaijiiio ii>le in its Let tlie )Toj)a3on, I'gsofthe ; king,— wholesale shecries, e Palace Ji- to be in her," fate," to stones " crossed, ey with neasui-e wenty ; ring of 6 been Snow Fleet) J) ."i\ « . •', • r /' , .-i»'H^i III ' *-H : ,f( T. t'i .1 •.|i. fi ...

See how they stand, with the ri;,dit foot extended, aiid the ISilile in their hand, intoning the Laniontations of deroniiah (v., 21, 22, L'.'!', or the l'>alnis of |)aviil or sinj^ini; with Isaiah (l.xiv., 9-11) : " lie not wr.illi very sore, () Lord, iioither ronioiiilior iniipiity for over. ISohold ! seel wo lie.seecli 'I'lioel wc are all Thy peo|il('. Thy Holy cities aro a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jorusahni a desolation. Our holy anil heaiitiful house, where our fathers jiraised Thee is liiirned up with tire, and all our plexsant thinijs are laid wa.sto." Benjamin of Tudela mentions this touchins; custom in the twelfth century. After tho capture of the city liy Adrian, the Jews were excluded fiom enlerinj^ within Jerusalem, and it was not until the age of Constantino that they were permitted to approieli so as to hehold Jeru.salem from the neijjlilioiiriiij; hills. At loiiglh they were allowed to enter the city once a year, on the day on which it was taken hy Titus, in order to wail over the ruins of the Temple ; hut this privilege they had to purchase of the Konian .soldier.s, Tho present conditi in of tho Jew at Jeru.salem is exactly what it was when Nehouiiah attempted their restoration. " Tli'.; remnant that are loft in the cap- tivity, these are in great atlliction and reproach." All the Jews in I'alestine are under the .sjiiritual domination of a Chief Kalibi, called Clinckhdiii liushi, " the First in Zion." He is assisted by a special council of seven leading rabbi.s, and a Large numlier of sub-i-abbis. Hither, to the Holy City, asking but to lay their buuesin JebuKka]>hut, Jews crowd from all parts of the world ; but there is no trade, no cmploympiit, and thoy aro, consoriuontly, niisernbly poor. The muIi- Rcriplion for tho Jews, goiiondly, throU'^hout tho world, does not avail to allow the |H)orer .lews more than thirty shillings a year, on which wretched pittance they live iiiisordily, starve and die, constant in their tailh, thoiiudi strongly tonipted aside by schools, and hospitals, and allowanoos, and employment, otl'ored in pious /oal by the dim rent divisions of I'rotostant Christians, who lay out large sums of money annually in .lorusidom for tho )iiirpo,se. The convertod Jew is desiii.sod by his biothron and reg.irdod iis a dead man ; but the un- lonvortod Je.,' is looked down u|ion alike by Christian and Turk, nay, it would cost a Jew his lite, even at this niomont. should he venture into the (Jliurcli of the Holy Sopiilchio, or I'veii within the outer court of his liolovodTompli', Thoy arodivisible into Sephardimand Askoiiarim, or the Spanish and (iornian communities, or soiithorn and iioitliorii Jews, the latter numbering 4, 000, tho fornior about 7,000. Kacli class has its own synagogues, and aro again divided. The old 1'hari.sees .'.till niiiain in the rorotis-choiii, which means ''.sepii- i-,ilod" or "isolated." The class lussuming that title atloct great piety, and a knowledge of the mysteries of •he Kaliala. Almost all agree, however, in adopting the Talmud and its traditions as their canon. Yet tlici-e is a .sect of Jews which rejects i verything but tiie sacred Scri|ituri's ; but it isa very snuill community, ami rarely ropioM'iitod in Jerusalem. That swarthy proud-looking follow with the pitchfork in his hand («<« p. 49), lominds us that tho Itechabite.s, still exist, and boast their dosoont from .Ictliro, the father-in-law of Jlose.s.anil High I'riostof Jlidian. Thoyarestilldwellers in tents, and still, as in the time of Jeremiah, oli'er an e.\aniplo to the faithless sons of Israel (Jeremiah xxxv., !"<). Tiny drink no wine, and would deem it a trans- gression to dwell ill houses or obtain a living otherwise than by agriculture. Near this wall or Wailing-Place is a hospital founded for the Jews by the humanity of M. do Itothsehild, Kach bed bears the name of one of the members m that family — a nionumont of their charity. Here, too, is a school for Jewish children recently erected — and bountilully supported by Sir Moses Montetiore, but bore, as everywhere, the Jewish quarter is full of dirt, and dust, and nasty smells. The men have a nuigiii- licent ii]ipearance, in spite of all tho poverty uud the squalor around. Having seen tho Jews in their present degradation, we now revert to the Jesvish Sanhedrim, in its haughty pride, and look for the place whither the Saviour of the world was brought before tho Council of the Jews to be questioned. We tind it in the present Mehheiiieh or Council-house (or ( .uildhall), of the Turk.s, at the western wall of the Temple, just where Josephus tells us the " first wall " of Jerusalem abutted. VV'e learn from the Psalmist that it was built on piers or arolios, and that like the [iresent building it had one entrance to the Temple ai'ea, and another to the city. It has now a splenilid Saracenic portal, and here is the most beautiful Saracenic Fountain in Jerusalem, of which our artist has made a drawing (sec p. 8), showing tho wonu'U of Jerusalem as of ohl, fetching and carrying water from it. " You shall meet a nian bearing a pitcher of water," was tints a special direction whereby to notice the individual, sure to engage tho attention of the disciples of our Lord, when searching for a fit place and person to prepare the Last Supper.

A white elephant is mentinui'il in the .\lnliiiiriiii!«t as formiiiii jiart of the rcitinue altacheil to the temple of the Tooth at Aiiarajapuora, iu the tilth century hefore Christ ; but it commanded no reli'jiius veneration, and like tho.se of the kiiiijs of Siam, it was tended niendy as an (Miihlem of royalty ; the s ivereign of Ceylon heing not iiiap[iropriately nddressed a,s the " Lord of Klephants." 'i'he favourite resort of the Ceylon elephant is the miiuutain top, and nut the sultry vaUey.s. In Uvah, where the eh'\ated plains are often crisp with the morning frost, and on I'cdro-tall i-galla, at the height of upwards of S,()()(J feet, they are found in herds; whilst the huiiti'r may seaM'li for them without success iu the Jiingh's of the low country. Their sight is limited, hut the sense of smell is acute. Tlu^ .sense of hearing is also very dclii-atc, and they have a variety' of iioi.ses (jr calls, hy means of which tlit^y communicate with one another upon all emergencies. 'I'hey do not, in Ceylon, attain a height of ahove iiiim feet, and the ordinary herds do not 'iveiage more than eight, A herd is a faioily, not a i,|-oup of elephants, whom acci- dent or attachment may have induced to a.ssociate together. The iiumhers of these herds fluctuate very slightly, and hnnlers in pursuit of them, who may chance to have shot one or more, always reckon with certainty the precise mimher of those remaining. One memlicr of a herd, generally tlu; largest and most powerful, is hy common consent imiilicitly followed as a leader As the shooting of an elephant, whatever en liiranci! and admitness the sport may disjilay in other respects, rcipiiics tin' smallest jiossihle skill as a marksman, the Iiumhers which are annually slain in this way may he regarded as evidence of the multitudes ahounding iu those parts of Ceylon to which they resort.

When free in his iiatiie woods, it is to he remarked the elephant evinces rather simplicity than sagacity, and its intelligence seldmn exhihils ii.self in cuniiiiig. The rich jirofnsion in which nature has sujijiliid his food, and anticijiated his every want, has made him iiide]iendent of those devices hy which carnivorous animals provide for their siihsistence ; and, from the aliseiice of all rivalry lietween himself and the other denizens of the jilains, lie is never reijuired to resort to artifice for self-jirotection.

The nirrtit'r is a certain Count Horace, to whose birllip ■ ]iarentage we would as willingly bear testiiii' 1 his veracity. "1 . ai. . 2eu three months in Ceylon," says the < One of these elcphnnt-shootinp stories, told by n writer hi " Kra.ser'it Miigiizini'," for December, IHCO, is of h elmrauter to iiiiliice relleetioii in the hiiiiiiine. " After liaving tracked up the herd ef eleiiliauts f.ir .some miles tliroui;li the forest, we heard tlie welcome sound of a deep roar, apparently iit)out a (pinrter of a mile distant, and hurryio); up, we found a small herd ot five, all standinj; close tojjetlier. The largest si)eedily answered to an njipeid fioni the bij; riHe by sinkiiij; on its knees in tbe plneid slee]) of dcatli. A seeonil was soon jilaeed in a similar position after a sliiirp chase, but the remainder dashed into so imprac- ticable aelumpof thick 'wait a bit' tborw, that it was im- ]iossible to follow them ftiitber, and we tberefijro n traccil onr steps to secure tbe tails of those we had killed. Uy the side of both we found a very little eb'pliant ; one had only" been born a few lionis l'iH)r little beasts ! It was pidiifnl to listen to their prolonj-ed niarinj;.

The other gave us no trouble at all, bevond iKvasionallv ebarging tbe gun bearers. It trotted briskly along, and, provided the r.ip of its tnnik was almvo water, did not mind emssing s(une rather deep streams which lay iMJtweeu Ui and camp, twelve miles distant.

Luckily two great dogs held it liaek, one hy the throat, the other liy the ear ; three or four luoredogs had liold of it liehiud. Others kept harking at the distance of a ivw ]i;n'es. The head of the animal, ilrawn on one side liy the dogs, still sought to turn towarils me, lus if instinct t.ilil its owner that the greatest danger lay in that i|iiai-tei'. The tiger's yellow eyes .shone with the histre of carliuncles, and a furious foam liatlied its open mouth, exposing in the rear two rows of formida- lile looking white and sharp teeth. I began liy tixitig the animal. I knew that .so long lis a man has the courage to meet the I'yes, bo it of a lion, tiger or imntlier, he inllneuces it. But let the look waver, and he is lost. I'he voices of my eompanioiis were getting nearer and nearer. There was no time for hesitation, unless I chose to be lo.st. So taking my hunting-knife in hand, I went straight tip to the tiger, without ever ipiitting its eye, and then with the tiampiillity which iharacterises me when 1 have once made up my mind, I plunged my knife up to the hilt immediately behind the shouMi'r blade. 'i'he animal made such a violent plunge that it drew the weapon out of my hand. ] leaped aside. Once more the tiger made an cfl'ort to bound, but the dogs still held it fa.st. It then rolled over, and in a moment wa.s covered with the dogs, who. at. this signal of its agony simultaneously rushed in on all sides. At this crisis Sir William came up. Lashing away at what a]ipeared to be a |iyramid of dog's tails, lie soon cleared a way to the tiger, "Whose is the knife!" he exclaimed, dragging ii forth from the wound. " Mine," I answered. " IJravo, for a lieginning." " Kxctl.se the faults of the author," I ventured to remark, as I wiped my knife with my pocket-hand kerchief and replaced it in its scabbard. All this was done with a simplicity which earned for me the niialiimous praises of all present. llung"y as we wer(>, we could not eat a tiger, so barely tive niinntes had elapsed after its death when we were once more in the jungle. Another five minute.^ and the dogs gave tongue again ; but this time the noi.se moved away rapidly. " A .stag, gentlemen," exclaimed Sir Willi.iin, " our dogs have found tis a breakfast, (h't ready the jacks and the gridirons ; there will lie enough for every- body." Suddenly the noise ceased. " tiood," eontimied Sir William; "the ai.imal is run down. Ah ! they are s|ilendi(l (higs, my dear Horace; I believe they would fetch up a hippopotamus from the bottom of the (laiiges. Let us to the bca.st, gentleiiien — to the game." This time Sir William arrived tirst, ; got up he was wiping his hnntiiig l.nil'e. stag lay at his feet, breatliing its last. and attendants alike shouted with joy. truly, as he .said, enough for everybody, ants .set to work at once, digging holes, lighting lircs, and extemporisi'ig spits of iron wood. These weii' ilaccd on [loles. stuck crosswise in the ground, and two attendants turned tlieni louiid, one at each end. .N'otwitlistanding their indillcreiice to heat, they had to be changed every five minutes. As to the otliil, it was put into another hole and covered with live embers, and these ag.iin wil'li dry wood. In less than an hour we were at work, and wine, rice, and biscuits, made the comiiliMiient of one of the most (h'licioiis meals I ever partook of. Our repast (iiiished, we mounted our horses and took the direction of ISinteuiid. Itis between liinteniid and liadiila that most elephants are met with. At le.ss than a mile distance from where we had lunched the road makes a bend. At this turning our horses began to exhibit symptoms of anxiety. As to the oiio I rode, it got obstinate, and neither spur nor whip tonld get it to take a step farther. " It scents an elephant," said my liorsekeeper, taking it by the bridle, while 1 jumju'd down, and rille in hand, turned the corner. My keeper was in the right, for not a hundred paces off I saw an elephant. It was attached io a great iron roller, which it was dragging after it in order to level the r. 1>\ tlic i\n(ivi>s s.iiuo liu'i ]>rr\ i.Misly 1'i-.is;ii'hs \v:\(i ' TlliMl i';\Uin'j; t.> my ;\tti'licl:)l\t'< In runic :tli'ii!; « n I, vi'iv ki)i<>riiiiis ■ lliiMv "i'r<- Ml.

The restoration ol Java to the Dutch l>y the English government in ISOfi, has always heeii coiisideied a great mistake, especially since the elleels of recent drainasji! and improvements have shown that the much dreaded niihealtliiness of the climate depended solely oil care and iiidu.s'.ry for its sure reniuval.

Viilie in (piict possession of M. de la (iironieie's world-fanions estate, and working jirolitalily 1,0(1(1 acres out of 10,000, of which it consists. Hence they wended their way to l,a Liignna Encantada, or the so called Enchanted Lake, in the Island of Luzon. 'J'iiis enehanti'd lake, one of the world famed wonders of the eastern seas, is a little lagoon in the islet of fSocolme, inlaizou, and it is M'parated from the grciter lake of ISai, hy a very narrow mountainous crest. '• Every one," says the liistoriogiajdier of the Aiistriiin expedition of the i\ovur(i "cannot reach it, hy simply wishing to do so." The approach is obstructed hy MufT rocks, and, still further, not only liy an ini| enetrahle niiiss of trtinks, roots, clinihing plants, ferns, canes, and thorny Imshes, hut also hy a nioviiig. perl iliotis soil. The lake is a circular liasiii ; no ihnilit fornicd hy the sulsideiice of a enter, for it is suriouniled hy walls of lava. Like many other (nchanlmcnts, it is very dangerous.

The sur- rounding trees had a shade of brown blended with til ir dark green foliage, which at lirst I could not ipiite account for. luit this soon explained itself; for, after getting a little aeeustonied to our cockleshell, and tliiieby aciiuiring siitKcient routideiice to lire oiir gnus 111 aiiiui ,' them, the report was succeeded by a rushing soiii" . like that of a distant mountain torrent, and the ail becaine iuimeiliately darkened by the Might of myii:ii|s I t living foxes that lluttered about just over our lie.iil. confusing and stiipifving us with their discordaiit scieams.

This creiitiire, as its name im]iiie.s, has a head ipiite like that of a small fox, and wings like that of ii vaiiipire-bnt ; its body is about a foot long, of a reddish, brown I'oloiir ; and the lonl-ensomble, even to the peeuli.ir smell possessed by that animal, bears a most striking resemblance to Master Reynard Fnli'ss you catch them under the wing in living, they are very dillicult to kill.

I forget exactly what their length there aveiageii, but I know it was dilHcult, at a little distance, to distinguish between one basking on the surface and a native canoe, which arc generally large euough to hold ten or a dozen people.

The Tinnuianes, another race who li\o in the iiite lior of the province of Flows, are described a.s men of ^iiiall .stature, sli:;litly bronzed, with stniij^lit liair, ri'ijular prolihs, and acpiiline nose.s. Their women are handsome and •;racefiil. A girdle, a sort of tiirbau made of tig-tree bark, is all the dress of the men. Tiieir arms are a lonu' lance, a small liatehet, and a buckler. The women, also, wi'ar ii girdle, hut have, in addition, a verv narrow apron, dc-icending to their knees. I'lieir hair isadornc.l with ln-ads. gold, and eoral ; the upper jiart of their hands is painted blue; upon their wrists are bracelets woven and orii imeiiteil with glass beads ; these bracelets reach up to the elbow, forming a .sort of sleeve to the fore arm, which they strangely com- pre.s.s. They are put on in early youth, and prevent the expansion of the arm, auginenting, at the same time, the size of the wrist and hand, which swell and become horribly large, a fa.shionable deformity, like the female foot in Cliiiia and the English wai.st in [•'••ope.

These Kalinueks had their hair cut close, exci'pt a tuft growing on the top of the head, plaited into a long tail, \\ liicli hungfardown their back, and gave theina Chinese a|>|'earain'e. They may, in fact, be considered Chinese subjeets; but, nntortnnately for them, Hus.sia compels them to pay a tax also. The chief of the little band of KalmiK^ks was named Tehui'k a-boi, ami was a vi-ry strong and powerful fidlow. with a beautiful manly counti'iiance, a fine massive forehead, and largo black eyes. He was dressecl in a loose skin cloak, fastened roun I his wai.st with a broad red 8carf.

He was a faiililul fellow -tiaveller tin many a d.'iy of toil and hardship, and suffer %eT and thirst without a murmur. They commeiieed their wanderings beyond the Hiver Naiyni, and cro.ssed the Kurt-Chum mountains, t.iwards what has been called tho Oreat .\ltai. r>ut this chain, .Mr. .Ytkinsiui declares, can only be found on our maps -in nature it dois not exist. Numerous oll'-.liools from the Altai run down to the de.sert of I'laii-Kum, in which direction they turned their sti'jis, riding over many ii rugged ridge and eros.-ing numbers of pictnrescpie valleys, threading their way eastward towards Ibsa-Xur. Mr. Atkinson had two objects in view in this journey — to visit tho Tanghu mountains, which he had seen from the Urituka, and the large lake that receives so many streams, and has no outlet.s. There are many peaks in the Tanghu chain, rising far abovi' the line of iteinal snow, ,s(jiiie more than eleven thousand feet in height. Their riuite lay eastwi.rd, crossing the heads ot' several stream.s, which nm from the Tanghu iiiountains into the Ub.sa. The names of these rivers cinild not be a.scertrtined. as nom; of the jK."ople bad ever been in this region before, nor did they meet a single native to inform them. Ganu' wius found in great alaindance in the higher region, and many a stag was boiled at the camp-fires and served up at their meals. In a few situations they observed the liare poles (if the conical Turts of the Kalkas, indicating their hunting stitions. After riding twelve days, and en- camping lieside various torrents that run from the Tanghu chain, they came upon a large and rajiid stream, flowing from the north-east This could not be cros.se() at the point they struck upon it, and they were com- I ur AND uuwN nil'; amoou.

As soon as tlio heat iif our bodies warmed our bods we slept soundly, and on waking next morning wore rubbed all over with snow, thou took .soiiio tea and ronowed our routt;, and in this way wo travollod as long as the snow lasted. I must remark in this place, that one of tho greatest inconvoniencos in a winter jminioy is the undressing to lio dnwii ; but what is still mure painful is the getting up again in the mnining. To wtish youi-seU' with snow, and ro|ilaoo your immoriiiis garment-s, one must have a riiugli tiatiiro and a body made of ice, to endure all this witliout beooining ill. I never drank any Hpirituous liquors, and therefore I'aiiiiot say what advantage there was in their use ; b\it witliout lea, no one, I am conviiiood, could witlistand tlio faligiios.

We halted in a 'ruiiguse yiirt, ;ir hut, where we loarut that for some twenty miles forward our road was covered with six feet of snow, and that travelling over tliis was hopelos.s. Our instructions forbade our roturiiing, and we should have to make a detour of tliirty miles before .-o could get roiiidoor to replace our ' • ■ for boast.s only capable of light burthens. Ho romaiiieil two days in the Tuiigu.se hut, and on the third cro.ssod tho Aldun ; but scarcely were wo in tho bod of tlio fni/.on river than the depth of the snow brought our linrses to a stand-still. One of our guides took tlie two unlailon horses by the bridle, and led tliein forward. They slipped about nud foil, and in so doing lii'oko tho hard crust of snow. We followed in their tracks, with the rest of the horses in lllo, one after the other. It tril when we began to follow the right bank of tho J'^giue, an allliioiit on thi' left b.ink of tlio lUi'hur. One day wo caugjil sight nf some d.irk object that seeinod to be motionless at llio edge of the rivor brink. At tiisl wo took it for some animal, but on a nc-iror approadi recognised it aa a Tunguso, who was seated and weeping He rose iiii and saluted us after their fashion, and then, in reply to our inipiirios, told us the cause of his grief. " Yesterday," said he, " on my comiii); to the wood, I came upon some traios of a wild rein-doer. I re- turned home and got my weapons ready and started with my dog in the middle of the iiigiit, when evoiiiiig had hardened the snow that fell in tlio luiildlo of the day. On reaihiiig tin' wood I waited two liours and smoked my pipe, and ju.st at dawn, whiii il was light enough to distinguish a font-print, I slipt my dog and followed him on my skates. .Away over rivers, woods, and inouiitaiiis we How for hniirs, until the rein door, foot.soro, left bloody tracos on tho gra.ss, and relaxed sensibly in their pace.

I'.iit all at once the hound uttered a cry of agnny ; I roaiod as if my heart would bui-st, and redoubled my speed ; when, at a loi-sos, and even then our packages were too lietivy i distance of t«o musket shots, I saw mi the gniund two fragments of tlesh, black and brown, .lust at tho mo- ment when my dog hail reached the hold of rein deer, ho hail driven them into a brook-run, and was running up and down to prevent their esi'a|ie fioiii it.

We could not comfort the ]Miiir fellow, so we (Missed on, recommending patience, a ([uality we stood greatly ill need of, shortly, ouraelves, as we had to join a party of travellers, and, with onr animals in one col- lection, horses and ri'in-deer, beat a path across a moiiiitaiu to the fair of Utchur, where we arrived on the 1st of May. Here 1 collecttid the tribute (in Yakut, (EUmgte) and fullille i several other missions. Thi.s done, on the 1st of June we set otf for Ud.sky, with our horses refreshed, and ten rt^indeer thiit we had purchased in addit inn. The Journey now before us of 500 uides, acro.ss rivers and mountains, was by no means plea.iaut in pros|iect. How much wor.-^e in re.ilitN ! When it rained, we drove our bea.sts into the river and made them swim across ; at other times we constructeil a r.ift. The country was nothing but jilains witli sharp rocks, marshes without bottom, tliat ni'vcr drieil up. When a horse fell in this kind of biiif, lie could not get U[) ai^ain of himself. Our scviMitceu liorsi'3 once went all down together, and our !;nidi's, up to tln'ir girdles iu the mud, dragged the p.ti'ks awav to .some dntauce, and l.iid them in a (U'V place. Tlicn thi' lioi-scs had to be dragged ip the lii'ids nf ih.ise horses who wcie down, a fourth gave tln-i'c or f piir plun^''-', and was sutricat<>d in the mire. \\'lifinverc>tc I, the nios piitocs worried us ; and whether citing, drinking, or siivjiiMg, their visits were equally inccss lilt atnl vex itioiis. I'lie Y.ikiit, guides tiok all this ipiictly, if not ]den- saiitly, and were uniiiiig iu their exertion:;. No .s.ioner had we halted, tliaii, spite of all the hunger, tliiist. heat, cold, a.hes. ami wiaiiiiess of the day, they sat ilowii. some to mend the hanies.s, iithei's watched the liorses wliiie refreshing theni.selves, otheix nibbeil thi'm down, and oilieis kipt guard tliroiiiili the night, as if work and siilli'ring were the ordinaiy habits of their lives. .\bout .seventy miles from tliebmks of the Uteliur, we I'.iine upun the cli.iiii o!' the .liigjnr (tin?

Next iiioriiing, lieforethe sin's heat eouM be felt, we began the ascent on loot, the horses followiiig, one by am-, each by him- self; not one of them even riiblK-d against a Inish, or fell in the cricks of the rocks, or stumbled in the ravine or worn watiTways, for the li'ast false step Would h ive pri> -ipilated thi'iii down the abyss, hi)pel('>,s of return. .Aft r cieeping along in this way for fourteen hours, we iittaincMl the summit of Jii.'iiir, wliidi is uiii|iirstioiiably the highest in the eountrv. It WiLs extremely cold, and tinu'e was not a gii.it or a wasp to be seen. We were ipiiU' frozen during the two hours we h.iited here to rest our hoi-ses Fiom this elevation, the otlier muuutaiuH, that had apjie e,.,| so high to us, seemed but little hillocks, and me nu- merous rivers that descended down the two sides of Jugjur glittered like tiny threads of silver. The clo'.ds, driven along like mists, were broken in as iliey touched the to|i of the moiinUiin, and reniaineil tloating along its front. It took us much less time to descend than to climb up. The journey, which liusted about sixteen hours, had cxh.iunted both ourselves ami bea.sts, and we halted at the first pluce we came t'- fitted for an encampment. Then caiiii' the unloading of horses, the lighting fires to drive off the niosipiitoe.s, and the delights of hot tea, in the middle of whicli ;iiy dog, » hiili I had allowed to run loose, came in from the wood, and made us understand by his quick barking that he liad found S' iiie animal in the neighbourhood. I know not what iH'cameof the fatigue that oppres.sed me, the thirst and hunger that 1 felt ; but away 1 went, without think ■ ing on the tracks of what kind of animul, bear, or wolf, the youngest of my Co.ssiicks and of the guides accom- panying nie, armed with knife and riile, of which we took care to examine the charge and the edge. We followed the lead of the dog right up to the Ruminit ol Jugjur. There we discovered an argali or wild sheepl (.s'('« p. 302) on the extreme edge of a lock, where there was hardly room for it to lie down. Having found a woodeil clump, we slipped Iroiii tree to tree until within a certain di-tance from the animal, and then tired together. Wi- ha.l.sliot the game, certa.nly, but to bag It wascpiite anotlic>r alliiir ; one of us would have gone ilown the rock with a rojie .nid hauled it up, but even this could not be done lor. on receiving tho .shot, the argali had lca]it up and rolled over, down an inimeasuiable abyss The noise occ.isioned by the clashing of his large horns agiinst the side of the rock was loudly lepeated by an eclio. As i veiy angle of the precqiice knocked apiece from the carcass, it dwindled almost to nothing before 'eachiiig the iMitloni of the precipice. AVell was it for us that tlii^ clia.se finished ill this fasliion, for had the game but re- mained in this place, one of onrselvcs might have sullered a similar fall in going to seek him. < 111 our return 1 witmu.sed an odil kind of shot ; the dogs, who were in iidvain c, ])ursned .some birds, who went and perched i:i the branches of a sliiin|iy willow.

At its month, two or three Tuii'j;iise are stalioiicd, who eaiilure an immense quantity of ka,>liu (a species of trout), si-a- sharks. and also lay up stores of whale oil ; foi every year the waves throw up, on this shore, one or two whales of alioilt six oi scm'ii fathoms iu length. They shoot the larger .sea-sharks, Imt kill thesmall ones with chilis. A portion of these skins theytiress, and smoke the rest for soles to their samlals. These skins are ex- cellent. The marshes alioiit aboiiiitl in geese and ducks, lu'sitles a great niiinlier of sea-snipe or sanderliiigs, and other kinds of birds. On the turn of the title, these small waders go tlowii to the shore, ami place them- selves on sm.'ill islands; but not tinding snlliciciit room, tliev staiitl one on the top of the other; and 1 have killed littv-livc at one shot, when they rose in flight. After p.issiiig four thiys in this jilaee, 1 turned b.iek towards the frontier of I'tlsky, acconipanicil by six men, navigating two canoes, made from hollow poplar- trees. The tiist ilay.siich w;is the force of the current, that we were coinpcllcil to work n|> by means of iron- shod poles; in the evening ami all night the rain fell, and the next mornitig the water liatl reacheti the top of the bank. At this season it rains for five days without sto|i|)inLr. I'Varing too long a detention if wo m.'ide a halt, :is well as nmniiig short of provisions, we resolved to spare no etforl in niaking our way up the river. Jliiriiii; live tiays «c adv.uicctl from tree to tree along its borders ; we were exii.iusted, our provisions gone, and we were yet forty niilcs from llilsky bv water, iind twclvi' across the forest by land. (>iir guides as Burtd me that the three stre ims .wdlicli ineandereil through the tiircst would not hinder ns |iassiiig ; so I armed myself with my rille and luiteliet, and slarlcd at sunrise, with oneCoiisack and a guide. Our intention wiis to go over the wood and return in the evening with game for those of our jiarty who remained in the boats. Hut this ]ilaii could not be tarried out, since we had not gone nmru than three miles before we eaiiie to a stream that we eoulil not get over, ami lost half the tlay in going up to its bed, which we tinally crosseil with the water to our girdles. In the iMiiing, just at siin.set, we came on another stre.mi some miles long, and which it was impossible to turn, so we pas.setl the night on its hank, exposed to the ruin, witlnmt aiiv covering. A fire was got up of damp wood, which smoked hideously, ami gave out little warmth. Wo smoked ami shivered through the night, and in the morning, at the first tlawn, niatle a raft ol four or five fallen trees, so that two of ns might f,'o over at a time to the opposite bank. \Ye had tiiiishcd this Job by mid day, but as the timber was saturated with water, our raft would not support more than one at a time ; and ut last, it was arr.inged that the giiiilc shouM imss, push on to I'iKky upon it, and scml b.ick a caiiiic to meet us. When, however, we hail }'ot our fr.iilbaik into the middle of the stream, it turned over, scparatcil into two |iiect'S and threw the boM navi;;ator into the water; we heard him uttering loud erics of distri'.ss, but could not get near him. Happily lie was a good swimmer, lamlcil in wifcty on the other sitlc, rested himself, and started for Itlsky. liciiig left alnne with the Cossack, I ap|ilittl myself to igniting tires in ilitl'e- rent directions to keep otf the bears. However, with the exertion of the tlay, I slept soumlly, aiidoiilv woke at the rising of the sun, to hear the voices of two naii anil our guide, who liatl come back with a canoe to carry us to IMsky, which we readied at iiiiiliiighi, after two days ■.|)ent without food. AYc hatl been scmii tlays successi- ely iu our wet elothe.s, yet not one of us wits ill. Our secontt ."xeursion was still worse.

After we li'f't I'dsky, it snowed at the first jilaee whcif wf haltttl, anil tlie guides rising in the night, couUl timl only one rein tleer, the rest having been dispcisttl by a wolf. They startctl off, all three, on the se.ireli, and lett ine alone with the two Cossacks. Tlii'ir absence lasted three days, tluring which it rained and snowed unceasingly. The provisions that we lijtl ]ii(ivitlid for six or seven 1 tlays were all washetl away; the place we I'l'acht'tl bail been a niai'sh, and our posit ion was right tlowii niclaii- clioly. On the fourth il.iy our guitlcs brought b;ick six of our rein ileei', which they had much trouble in lintling ; all traces of the rest were lost. We starti il '. the .same tlay, that is, as .soon as our lent would allow i U.S, for it was frozen into a sheet of gla.ss, outsitic, to the thickness of three lingers. The ruonlli of Sejitciuber is the worst time of ye n' for travilling in Siberia.

It is nearly four hundred miles from llurMkan to the source of the Hyniya, and two hundreil ,ind fifty from ISyraya to the River Silimji, whiih is live hundred miles from Udsky. Tlie first day of our voyage we halted after a short stage v{ (ifteen miles. As .soon as the rein- deer were uidaden, and .set at liberty, witli a log sus- j)en(hd round their necks, so as to himler their running far away, the guides .sounded the earth with a long p(jle ; and while all of us together, Cos.saek.s, guides, and myself, cleared the tliiek .snow, one of the guiiles lookeil aflir small wood for the tire, and another cut about thirty poles, stripped them of their branches, and plaeeil them where we had swept off the snow.

It was just in the middle of winter that I crossed the Hyraya, an extremely high mountain, after piU!.sing the night at its foot. The evening was closing in as I attained the sununit, the clindiing up to which was ono of the most dillieidt feats 1 ever accomplished. Wo had to clear from our jiath a fathom depth covered with ^ hard crust. We came upon a block of stone a fiithom high, and having climbed up it after great ditliculty, were obliged to unload our beasts and hoist them in the air over it. Never can I forget tho fatigues of this journey. Having drank some snow- water plentifully in ascending, I was seized with fever and shivering, without medicim! or hel|i, on the top of a mountain, in a freezing wind. I found myself in a sad position, and thought I s:iw tho shadow of death. The struggle for lite went on thriaigh the night, my faithfid Cossacks anil guides anxiously watching nu!, bewailing my eonditiiai, and taking care that I did not throw oli' the fin's that covered me, since if the cold caught mo all wiaildbe over. Towards morning I slept; and awoko bathed i- ^weat. In the evening I felt oidy a head-ache, and t. next morning was able to resume my route. At the end of si.x months my mi.ssion was lultiUed, and I returned to Udsky. The country I had travtived is dillicult to explore, an account of its impracticalde roads, its impenetiablo woods, its inaccessible niountjiin.s, and tho numberless watercourses that intersect it; but it is rirli iu nninials of every kind — jianthei-s, bears, w Ives, gluttons, lynxes, Idack and white fo.\es, sables, sipiinel.s, kire.s, otters, elks, reindeers, stigs, does, wild shee|i, musk-deer, wild boar, flying sipiirrel, bats, mice of all kind.s, ermines; and of bird.s — white .storks, swans, ducks, divers, geese, cranes, capercailzie, white par- tridge, black duck, karaky, woodcock.s, Ac, The month of April .saw me on my way to Yaktitsk, a voyago at such a season neither without its ditlieiilties nor its «langers ; the bears at this time come out irom their dens, >liiven by hunger, and attack the first living creature they me<'t. These bears are of prodigious strength, and not easy to escape from ; they will havo flesh and blood ; ami travellers who don't wish to pay it in their proper jiei'sons must j)roee<'d carefully, and with .some ])recaution.' There are otlirr dangers from the rivers; and the rein-deiT which will occasionally leap into a river to the traveller's intense disgu.st and illscoinlilnre.

The wood on the Aninij is of considerable growlli for so northern a situation, but tlus root has seldom more than twenty inches depth. On the fiext day the piirty visited the Tchuktchi camp, of three large and threesniall teiils, in win 'li all this people were packed. The large tents were di.sgiiNliiii;ly dirty and oIl'cnsiM', exhibiting every species of giossiiess and indelicacy. The smaller were, oiitlie coiilrary, very neat, clean, and warm, although wilhoiit a lire, in thirty-live degrees of frost, being only eight feet long, live broad, and about three feet high, and containing three or four people huddled togeihcrin one bed, which is made of rein- deer skins, and the coxerings lined with white foxes'.

( In eiileiing they foiiiid the chief and bis wife perfectly naked, as w.is alsn their daughter, a little girl of about nine years, who went out, and by a tire close to the tent jiiepared .some rein deer ilesh in that stale of nudity. 'i'lieir furniture con- sists of a large kettle, knife, wooden bowl.s, jilatters, spoons or hiilles, and an axe, with Hint and steel. They returned to the fortress, driven by one of these savage chiefs "in a neat narte, drawn by ii couple of reindeer, in a pretty htyle" They use regular reins, made of leather thongs, and a long springing cane with an ivory nob to it, of the tooth of a sea horse. They are kind to animals, and will not ride a horse, euii- sidcring it unmanly, to iiicrea.se the labour of tlin animal. They soon ascertain the ipiaiitity of tobacco brought by the Uiissian traders to the fair, and regu- late their dealings accordingly. Fixing a market )irice, neither party will receile from it: the Russians brought tobacco, kettles, knifes, spears, needles, bells, sei.s,sors, |ii|)es, axes, spoons, coral biads, and other siwh ornaments, a few pieces, and red and blue nankeen and white cotton. For these the Tchuktchi brought 400 or .0(10 sea horse teeth, a few bears' skins, rein- di'cr dre.s.ses, and white foxes, and tlie.se, with some frozen rein-deer meat, make the vvliole )irodiiction of their own country. l?iit now comes the connection be- tween Asia and .America, for the other articles of jiehry at this fair come from a nation un the American coil" tinent, e died the Karganles, two of whom the Jiarty saw at the f lir.

The distance between London and Pokin would be reduced by such a line to st)ine 10,000 miles, and the journey to thirty days. It would les.sen tho distance from I.iverpool to Vancouver Island to 5,6.50 miles, the distance between Liverpool and Panama .alone being 4,100 miles. The harlmurof Halifax is the only one .sjifc port wc have on the Atlantic coast of British North .\meriea, accessible at all seasons of the year, the rest being clo.sed by ice for six months, whilst wo have in the Pacitic, in the harbour of Esquimalt, one of the finest ports iu the world. It is 8,200 miles from Panama to Syerformed through British territory, are beyonil all calculation. Tlie establishment of such a line of communication would not merely o|K'n up to civilisation a large territory in Briti.sh North America hitherto almost unexplored, but it would open up to tho cultivatora of the .soil (in Minnesota and on the Red River, for example, the isolation of which appears to have been hitherto tlic only bar to progress and ex- tension), as also iu Canaila, a means of transit to all the markets of the Pacilio, am' an oikh passage to tho China Seas and to our pos.se.ssions iu the £a8t Indies, Australia and New Zealand.^ FROM THE ATLAOTIO TO THE PACIFIC. m I I lililt I I— THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. Towards the girdling of the earth by a junction between the Atlantic and the Pacific, there are two stations, two great colonies, already formed upon a line having its basis on British territory — tlie.se ai-e British Columbia and the Red River.

I was inlornieil, on ^^imhI authority, liiat a ease had oi'eiirred here in whii h a father and daii^htei' had killed and eaten six of their own family tVoiii alpsoliile want. The ' story went mi to state t li.il tliey then eiieani|ied at some , distance olf in the \ii.'inity of an ohl Indian woman, ' who ha|i|iciieii to lie alone, her relations having; ^'oiic out liiintiii^.

I'ly way of |ireiantion, she resolveil to make the entnincc to her lod;,'e very sli|i|icry, and as it was winter and the Irost .severe, shi" |«)Ui'ed water rcpeatiilly over the ground a.t fast as it froze, until it rta.s covered with a mass ol smooth ice, and instead of ^oing to lied she ri'iiiained sitting up in her lodge watching willi an a.\e in her hand. When near mill night she licald step.s advancing cautiously over the criuking snow, and liiol,iiig lhiiiiii,di the ci-evice.s of the lodge, caught sight of the girl in the altitude of listen- I ilig, as if ti> ascertain if the inniales were asleep ; this the old wdiiian feigned iiy snoring alouil. 'riiewtlconie soiiml no .sooner reached the ears of the wretched girl. tliaii she ruslied forward, lint •'lipping on the ice, fell down at till- entrance of the lod^'e, whereupon the intended victim sprang upon the niurdere>s and luiriid the a.\e ill her jiraiiis; then, imt donlitiii" Imt the' villninoiis fillicr was near at hand, ~he Med with all speed to a distance to escape his Vengeance In t!ie meantime the Wieiidigo father, who was impalicntly wailing fur the e.xpeilcd signal to his horrid repast, crept lip to the lodge and I'alled to his d in:.diter ; hearing no reply he went on, and, in pi ice of the dead liodv of the old woman lit' saw his own (laughter, w hen. hunger overcoining every other tilling, he s,iv( I his own lite liy de\ Hilling her I'cmains. ■'The W'eendigiies are Imiked upon with superstitions dread and horioi hy .ill Indians, and any one known to have eaten hiim.in llesh is -111111111 il liy all the rest,! as it is supposed t h.it, h i\ ing once tastcil it, they would | do .so again had tiny the i.pportiinity. They ale oliliged. theref e.e, to make their hiih^'es at some distance from the rest of the Irilie, and the ihildnu are jiartii iilarly kept out of their way : however, tiny are not molested or injured in .iny way. Imt seem rather to he pitied tor the injseiy they must have endured liefme they coidd lie liioiiudit to this state. I do not think that any Indians, at le.isl nolle that 1 have ever .seen, would eat his feilow-creatuie, except under the intliieuce of star- vation ; imr do I think there is .iny tril f Inili.iiis on the North .Vniericaii continent to whom the word •annilials can he propeily applied. ' \Vitli the exception of the rocky passes, I he great river Kaminislaipioiah is desciihed as meandering thrutighon* III the liveliest valleys in naiiiie, yet It is only n hunt ing ground fur Indians. Kiiiiher up is the lirHt of u .series of lakes, which constitute the most remarknhle feature of an extensive district, and which may Ixi designated, after its ci'iitral and largest sheet of water, the Winipeg District. The water-parting liilwoen till- triliiitaries to the Winipeg, and those to Lake Superior, is alternately roiky mid swampy, and lakes are soon met with, one of the tlrst of which is ilesig- n.ited as the Lake of u Thoii.sand Islands. Most of these lakes appciir to lie very shallow, as is tliu cii-e with Winipeg or '•.Mud " Lake it.self, and the sanio character of cnuutry extends to Hudson's Hay; tl.o Indians lieing known as the " .Mas ka-gaw, or Swamp Indians." |)ucks so alionml in these marshes, that tl.e Indians shoot as many as forty liy tiring at them in the water, and rapidly lo,iding and tiring again whilst the lluck is cinling round. Vast i|iiantities of \vhite tish — sturgeon, pike, and other lisli — are also taken in these lakes and rivers, which further alioiiiid in a tish that emits a strange sound, and somewhat resembles the Canadian lia.ss. The two largest lakes lictween Lake Hii)iorior and Winipeg, are liaiiiy Lake and Lake of tlie Woi ds, round which dwell the Saiilteiiiix Indians, and tin- .sieiiery of which Is .said to he very lieautitWl.

This region is, however, at times visited hy a sad scourge.

The eutin; white jioiiulation of JJritish Columhia did not exeenl o.OOO men in Oetoher, 18 ">9, with very few women and children. The value of the export of f^old was, at the sime epoch, estimated at .£14,000 a month, or .£i 1)8,000 per annum. The Town of Lytton, whose name is a Just recog- nition of one who h;is always advocnted the j^reat ciuse now under discu.ssion, and the Valley of riiompson River, appear to have lieconio ])oints of the greatest iiuporlanco in British Columliia. Lytton is at the forks of the 'J'hompson and Frazer rivers, and contains eight or ten stones anil a government house. The Thomp.son River is aliout l.Vl yards wide at its mouth, and there is a hor.scferry attached to it. Fort Kam- looj)s i.s an important port, situated on the folks of the Thomp.son and North Ui\i'rs ; the Thompson is here 300 yards wide, and the North River .".I.'d y.irds.

YII. -THE MINP:R and THE HUNTER. " I NOW looked out for what was necessary foi' a man to hegin work with; next I houglit of an Amei'ican, who wa.s gning hack to New York, his hut and a set of miner's tools. The claim I picked t)Ut at the top of the valley, where I could lie alone with my thoughts. What, though my hut was neither ^pacicaia nor elegant ! it was not tho less convenient. It stood u])on the hanks of a stream, with grass and flowers before it, and ut its back a iiine-trce of not less than twenty feet in iliametir at its ba.se; my villa, less andiitinus, only measured eight feet sipiare, and was tiirnied of pine l^lanks nailed to pine jioh's, and lifted on the top of each other in a inannei that insuri'd a free eirculatien of air. In the middle was a small iron pet or tii]iiid that helil the fire, and a still smaller cauldron inserted in this constit\ited the whole of my kitchen ; liere 1 made my soup, boiled my fowls, fried my eggs, and roasted my mnttcm, that is to say, whenever I could get them. At the farther end of tho cabin was my ; cani])-bed, made of fo\ir short sticks driven into the i ground, with cross-jiieces at the siehind thi'hut I h.ive scratched out a garden, which I sinTiiunded with a hedge of bushes, and planted with i such fhiwei's and vi'getables of our dear France as I woidd grow there freely. I'y the side of the g.trden ■ was ,1 little oven, .about a foot and-a half high, of earth, i where I baked my bread, ai'd delieious I found it, ', '• The miner, of whom I liad bought my cabin, had left me some )ircivisions, including about fc:*y iiounds of fine (lour. These remnants of stock were of immense value to me. "About a mile from mv ilwelling I discovered a small jiarty of four miners. Canadi.iiis of I'Vench origin ; with tliem I soon became (Ui friendly terms. Although of infei'ior education tln'V were le.HKairabli! young feiluws. 1 had always ri'ason ti> be proud of my eonneetioii with tlii^m, and rejoice in the end I was the means of their aeipiiring a gooil forluni^. 1 have already spoken of what my IhmI was made of. One ilay, on a fine after- noon, 1 went u]i the side of a hill willi my sack and rifle on my shoulder ; here I came upon a hollow that was filled with driad leaves, into which 1 jumped up I to my waist, and set to work, hands and feet, filling I my .sack. After killing some small birds on the moun- tain I w<'nt home to my i>cst. and as it was night when ! I got there, I took only a light supjier and went to bed. F.iligue soon brought on sh'cp. About three ', o'clock in the morning, when my slumbers grew lighter 1 felt there was something (juickly moving uj) and down in my sack, and in a manner that was by no means assuring. Thinking it might be a rat, J carried my hand down along the siick, and shuddered with horror as 1 felt the shape of a snake, which turned its head briskly in the direction of my hand. One bound and I was outside the hut running towards my friends the Cnnadi,iiis, to whom I relatdi my adventure, and begged them to come back with me to the Jiut. lie- entering with them, I em]itie(' the contents of my sack, and saw escaiie from it a fine full-grown ratth'snake, which glid;.l off to conceal itself under the trunk of a fallen tree near my garden. Unaccustomed ;,o such visitors, I was at first desirous of ajiproachiiig it more closely for the jiuiiioso of a nearer insiiection, but the ungrateful monster that I had warmed in my bo.«om rushed upon the bayonet that I presented towards him, and beg.in to bite at the barrel of my riHe. Fearing that he might take a fancy to bite me, I put my finger on the trigger and liti rally cut liiin in two. A\'e made ouf; his lengtii to be four feet two inches, and I cut out of his tail a dozen scales, of a ball-shaiie, which gave a harsh sound when they weri! )iut in motion; this is what is vulgarly (ailed the rattle of the snake. "It Would sei'ui that, without kiowing it, Iliad taken this snake out of Jiis hole wheic lie lay coiled u)) and fio/.en, and brought him home in my .sack with the oak leaves. "There is also another enemy to be ft ared in this country; he tloes not rec|uir(^ to be introduced into youi house, for he knows very well how to get there without iii\italion, whenever yiju forget to shut tho door. One Suiid.iy evening, while I was at work in my garden, for 1 ( cuild only attend to it cue day in the week, I saw the shadow of a beast that looked like the wolf of Euro]ie, just bounding out of my house on his way to the forest. Seizing the rifle by my side, I fired at the animal, who, feeling himself tickled by the lead, dropped a wild turkey that I had killed the jirevious evening. This was a cayotte (Caiil^ latrann), an animal very common in these countries, and which liannts tho neighbouiliood of the place rs for the sake of the .scraps the miners throw away. " Having often hi,ird sjieak of a niar.'^h about six miles from Nevada lity, where game was very abundant, I was tempted to ]iay it a visit, and taking with me a mule that I had bought in the expectation of certain long journeys th.at 1 had proposed, thinking this a good ojilioitunity of testing her qualities or detect.s. " My bearskin folded in four made me a comfortable saddle, that I fixed on (he back of the quadruped with the tent-rope that my jiartners had left behind them in the Gap A'alley on their de|iarture. 1 managed to cook up a bridle and stirrups by the same means. Such was the equipage with which I took the road to tho marsh. I certainly should not have reached before day- light, but for an aceiden(al meeting with a miner who was obliging eniaigh to put mo on the road. " About a hundred jiaces fiimi the bank might be seen a bush of wild roses, under which I went .and laiti in .•inibush. At every instant the wild ducks and teal touched my face with the {Kiints of their wings.

So I maii.iged w ith a great deal of trouble to jmt the slag entire across my mule, and directed my stc[)S towards Ne\ad,i city, to carry out a little plan I had conceived for selling my game. "I arrived there towards mid-day, just at the time when the miners were returning from their 'claims' to dinner. As 1 .•idvaiieed bravely up the only street of the village, I shouted out in Kiiglish, ' Venison, at one dollar a-pound '.' Such a ca]iital idea was crowned with success; for scarcely had I readied the bottom of the street, which was not alxive two hundred yards long, than I had .«old every pound, and gained '-wo hundred dollars in gold dust. " Now came another ray of good fortune, for two of my French coinpatrir,,s, who kcjit a tavern, to whom I had sold the two haunches of my deer, invited me to parently but little frightened at my ]ireseiice.

I i^i !■ ii i nnaiomi.-al opcnition was going on ; he wished to (1p- U'riiiiiif wliat, kind of bird was most skilt'ni in ilisscrting dead liodic-i, and he saw tliat it WiW dccidt'dly a stork providoil witli a long appondage to ita breast. Tliis I'xcelknt anatomist in many respects resembles the Enropean sjM'eies, liut it is stronger and taller (being four feet in height). Jts bill alone i-s about a foot in Icnj^h — it is a.s hard as stone, and coiise(piently well adapted to tearing np its boiity ; it d(M>s not indeed give itself much tmulile in the matter, for it can swal- IciA- a cat in a single mnuthful. The .substances taken up by this eniirninus bill are allowed to fall into the poucii in front, and it is only after undergoing a pre- liminary ])roc' ss of softening then iiat it is (Jnally swallowed and disposed of in the interior stomach. Thanks to these peculiarities, tiie bird becomes thus a member, as it were, of tlio iirivileged easte.s, for it can walk proudly in the streets, in tiu- miilst even of crowds, without any one distnrbin:,' it ; there is indeed a fine of liftv rupees against any one who .should do them an injury ; to kill one would be a crime. The lity of Calcutta cannot indeed bi' too grateful to these birds; it is they who pick up, in the midst of refuse, the remains of animals, liirds and lish, and but for their presence, consigged scavengers have a perfect sense of their imjiortance and their utility, for the Count de- e!ares that the governor's ]ialace is their favourite resi- dence. How many times, he! says, has he been witness from his window, which wits directly opposite to the pdace, of the irregularities which these sacred liosts piM-mitted tht.'inselvis o\cr th when earlv in the morning hurry, that they are often depn.sited on the banks of till! river before they are quite dead. Jfi as it some- times happens, person.s so ex|Hi.sed come to life again, they cannot return within the precincts of the city ; they are obliged to emigrate toa distant district situated (in the borders of the (Janges, where tliere are whole vil- lages of resuscitated beings. The liindhus despiscMind avoid places tlius j)eopled. Formerly, bodies could bo burnt anywhere on the banks of the Jlooghly ; hut nowa-days the authorities liave limited the accomplish- ment of the ceremony toone sjieciul point. It was only when he left this sad scene, and that he found himself in the midst of a purer atmo.spliere, that the Count says he becanu; fully sensible of the poi.sonous exhalatiims with which even his clothes li.id become impregnated. Till within a very brief time ago Count Andrea-ny's description of the Cremation Ghat of Calcutta, however coloured, did not in reality exceed the truth. After quitting the F.uro])ean ])art of the city and the ship- ping, together with a great part of llie congregated fleet of native store-boats from tlie ])rovinces that crowd the bank lu'ar the northern division of the city, the first object that used to attract attention was a cerl.iin bare aiul dismal-looking quadrangle, open at the river side, upon the high walls of which, overlook- ing the ground immediately contiguo»ts, where a cer- tain native hide nu'rchant and contractor with the Conservancy Commissioners carried on his delicate operations in connection with the definict (juadrupeda of tJalcutta, were perched some fifty or more luingry and expectant vultures : whilst amongst them or beneath, stalking amid.st bones and rubbish, and anon scared from their object by a pack of equally hungry head of the British lion, j and disgusting-looking jiariah dogs, disputants for the they lined the palace- | prize, were seen a score or so of the adjutantp, or ti'rr.ice ! These funereal and irreverent birds were gigantic cnme. from five to six thousand in number. The governor i This building was known !is the " Bin-ning Chat," a nimself had the deepest respect for this guard of spot inclosed and appro]iriated by the ilindhus for the honour; for he never dared to ]iut his nose out of his puriio.se of burning tiicir dead. When the Ilindhus window to see what Wiis taking place on the top of his are said, all who can afford it must be understood, residence. which, unfortunately, not one half of the community Count Andre.i.sy was disturbeil from his observations are enabled to do.

Their conh\ieuc. the Shastras a,,d the Vedas is becoming shaken: the most formidable of all obst.vcles, that (ff caste, is sensibly diminishing. Moral revolutions among every people, even after long and ineftectual exertions to .ring such about, in general break forth suddenly at last llie greatest changes in history are illustrations of this great fact. Tl„it there is such a silent ,,repara- tion in tlie Indian mind appears evident from the pre- valence, among a numerous and influential clas,s of J'-nghsh habits and idcis. and the growing disposition to form themselves upon a European model.
