within the last thirty years, has made greater progress
and improvement, in every possible way, than per-

with what it was III the reign of the Sultan Nah

CONDITION OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA
The editor of the Dundee IN. Y. Record has lae-

OF which he visited large number of fugitive slaves
at their residences and conversed freely with them on
their position and prospects, The tone of their remarks
generally that of disappointment al the reception
with which they met and and the estimation in which
they were held in the country where they soourn-

ish provinces they would find home in which they
would be regarded as citizens with the rights
and advantages, social and POLITICAL were enjoyed
by the other inhabitants. This they found not to be
the case; but on the contrary they experienced ndig
mites greater than any they had met with in the
States whence they had fed Besides the climate was
uneenla to their tropical tastes and habits and their
neghbors neglected no opportunity Of taking advantage
OF their ignorance, for purposes of fraud and impos

Chinn-Interest,nr Extracts.

We take the following extracts from an authentic
work, published by MIR. Williams, who, from long
residence in China has been enabled to write know
ngly upon the various subjects embraced in his
work:
ANIMALS OF CHINA.-The denseness of the popu-
lation has long since entirely driven out all wild
quadrupeds and there also few domestic Ones
such as arc found in Eastern countries, Beasts Of
burden are in great degree superseded by the
means of transport afforded by the numerous rivers
and canals, and by the coolies or porters class of
athletic men, who take the place Of animals in car
rying burdens and in dragging boats. Animals are
excluded, to leave more food for
There are no meadows for feeding cattle but the
entire soil is used in raising food for the inhabitants
Wild cats are sometimes caught: and considered
great dainty Monkeys found in the south
west provinces. What few horses and asses are
found in China small, and very inferior in every
respect. The buffalo is sometimes used in plough
ing. Dromedaries used between Peking and
Tartary. There are also hogs, goats and sheep
There is but variety of dogs in the country an
animal about foot high and two long resembling
a small spaniel. Rats very abundant, and fur
nish the common people with meat. They are very
large and destructive to crops.
Of the birds in China, there are the eagle, the fall
con, the magpe, crows, sparrows, cormorants cur
lews quails pigeons. pheasants, larks the rice bird
and many species of aquatic birds. Cormorants
used by the Chinese for catching fish. The fall
con is imperial property, and the maybe is sacred
to the reigning family.
Fish form very important part OF the food of
the Chinese, and great is taken in raising them
in artificial fish ponds. The gold and silver fishes
are kept in glass globes ornaments. Among the
fish eaten are the cod sturgeon mullet, cyab perch
a=bream, &C. /; crab-fsh and oysters aye common
on the coast
The larger species of reptiles are unknown in
China. Frogs, lizards, and freshwater tortoses are
common. Venomous serpents are very rare.
