rious to the memory of her husband. The Princess adds, that
she is preparing for publication a refutation of these passages,

A St. Petersburgh letter of the 27th ult. states that within
the la-t few years there have been found in Siberia, at dif-
ferent depths in the earth, a great quantity of the bones of
the Mastodontes; and, as the tusks and other teeth of these
antediluvian animals not only possess all the qualities of
ivory, but even surpass that of the elephant, in being less
fragile and less liable to turn yellow, the merchants of To-
bolsk, Tomsk, Ornsk, and Jennisseisk, have formed them-
selves into a company, to carry on a trade in this new article
They are said to have been so successful that, during the last
year, they transported to St. Petersburgh upwards of
16,000 lb. weight of the tusks and teeth of the Mastodontes,
which have been sold at 30, 40, 60, and even 100 per cent.
higher than elephant ivory. Articles made of this new mate-
rial are in great request in the Russian capital.
