NEW WORLDS.

There is a fine opening for a few active explorers,
not particular about a little risk, in Central Asia.
Major Montgomery told the Geographical Society on
Monday that a Pundit, who had been trained to
explore the tablelands of Thibet, had discovered there
prolific gold mines, and vast plains of soda and salt.
Sir Roderick Murchison remarked that this infor-
mation was sufficient to justify the formation of several
publiccompanies. Mr. Gladstone some time ago said
that the Geographical Society would have to suspend
its labours, for there were no new worlds to conquer.
This idea seems to be very mistaken. There is a bound-
less region, presenting some of the most remarkable
features in the world, stretching from the Himalayas
to the wall of China, and all unknown to Europeans,
except by means of misty traditions. Whoso love's
adventure may find it amid the stupendous more.
tains and boundless plains of Mongolia and Thibet;
but the adventure seems to present a rather more
than ordinary percentage of risk.
