URAL GOLD iITINRS.-114.s..eeting these, the following are
Lew particulars from St, Petersburg. The =breams the east
side of the mountains are far richer than those on the opposite
•iile. The former extend from Verkhoturir to the sources of
t!,e river Ural. ThOseplaces, Itriwever, where the gold appears
t. hr the most abundant, extend between the mines of Nijne
soil Kouphtoumhoi, to tite•length of 3uo wersts (21.0
Thr mines here begin almost at the surface. under the
bit, and the earth that contains the gold is at the depth of
archecna. The ore is obtained merely by washing, and
labour is so trifling, that in general auk boys are employ-
...''u it. The metal appears in small grains, and sometime a'
ie I naps weighing six marks.--On an average it may be as-
suaged, that 100 ponds (36001b5.) of earth yield gi ounces of
pure gold.---A single land owner, Mr. Jew*lift; on whose
/mates are the richest mires yet discovered, will send this y_ear
'JO ponds (10Ethihs.) of gold to the mint in Petersburg. The
‘ther mines in the Ural moontsins furnish altogether 130
1,404!5. The gold seems to have been originally cOnshined with
kreensione, slaty ellorite, serpentine, grey iron earth, &c.;
ah: these substances b.ing decotnposecl.have left the ore pure.
This other mineralogical treasures of the mountains are said
be as multifarious as they are Immenre. Among them are
a.mmantioe spar, various metals, American and Indian pre.
(ions stones, especially one of the latter, resembling to sap-
phire, to which has been given the name of Solmouit, in ho-

AlAnitrcatsi. OPINION ON THE ft.l4:liTS Or .WOMEN.—

public mind. He declared that the attendance of ladies it
