Siberia.
The population ofSberia consists 9th Russian race
recently migrated thither and the of Asatc ORR
gin. The former is, beyond comparison, the most
numerous. Of the latter the most numerous are the
Burats, living about Lake Bakal, and further to the
East, numbering 100000 The Tonguses are the
next most important, and very widely settled. The
Yakuti possess the country on the middle and lower
part of the Lena, and extend to the Pacific; they
number 100000. All the other Asiatic races do not
amount to than 100000 These aboriginal
tribes must not be thought wild and wandering they
agricultural and pastoral, and enjoy the ordina
ry comforts of life Many of them possess property
of from five to fifty thousand dollars, though their
wealth consists mostly of horses CATTLE sheep, deer
and lands
The Russian population of Siberia beginning
to collect together in towns
The number of exile colonists in $780, 135, 900.
The entire population of Siberia has been stated at
100000 though we have not learned the authentic
sources for the exact number. But their Importance
is evident from what is known of their commerce and
manufactures The population of Siberia is rapidly
increasing both by emigration from Russia to which
it stands in the relation the great West does
to us, and also by its natural augmentation. To
the condition of Siberia is especially interesting
fronting as it does, on the Pacific, opposite
Oregon and California, with which its commerce on
the ocean will, in time, be chiefly carried on.
CHINESE NoTIoNs OF CALIFoRNIA.-The following
proclamation was posted on the walls of Canton by
the Government, in July last. It was headed GOLD
M1NEs.-"We have recently heard that the barba-.
rians had spread false about the discovery of
q country situated beyond the sea, where gold was
said to be plentiful. Their aim is certainly to per-
suade our counrymen to leave their beloved country
and go to that place to hunt for gold dust We have
thought that since the precious mineral album
dant there it was certain that many barbarians,
rich poor by their chances, ought to be already

the for which they try to entce citizens
to 60 and work at the mines There is evidently a
snare in that proposition. 1t will be remembered
that the same barbarians have induced, within the
last few years, many of our Cinnamon to 60 with
them to cultivate nutmegs, and none of them ever
returned to their country; we do not know even II
they are alive not, which is very sad thing
The fact is that the barbarians in state OF wal
with different countries, and they take with
them to place them in front of their army in order
to have them killed or wounded.-They have, this
time, invented this shameful fable in order to de-
ceive They speak of gold discoveries while in
truth, their object is to take away men, and put
them in front of their army, during their battles
All those who have relations, wives, and children
WILL of course, not be deceived; but if there are
some who not wise enough to believe advice
them that it will be too late when they repent
the steps they have taken Think Of it, citizens"
