Leaving Nrjuel Kulyma (or koryina, as it is written in

says, "toeing now solved, not by ealcrilation, hit similar de-

So far as yet appear*, Captain Cochran seem., to have
acquitted himself well, and deserves to have bin natir
placed on the list of those of his countrymen who have
tostributcd to the stock of geographical science. As for
ourselves, we never entertained any donht of the termini.-
stun of Asia at Cape North Fast. Many have doubted,
bun ever, even It ; and it is gratif)tng to think that
the doubt is now solved, nod by toe of that country which

One cause of the cultivation of the mulberry tree being

until it has arrived at a considerable age. Hut, by giaftrug
it from aged trees, it soon hears fruit ; and we hope that a
more g I knowledge of this fact will, at length. render
it more common in this country. Even as a mere fruit, it
is worthy of more attention; but we cannot see why the
