aheDce to the Pacific. Col Rom2nof yesterday Wis
tied the Chamber Of Commerce and was aocompa-
MED by Perry McDonough Collins, who, as CONNER
sial Agent of the United States has explored tue re-
gion of the AMOR River. At the present tune 'nefe

mouth. While Russia is pushing the telegraph east
va,dlv. the line from st. Louis TO San Francisco is
nearly completed. Mr.. Collins yesterday received
Col Hiram Sbey stating that there is now
N constrnct but 900 miea Of the line between the
Rocky Mountains aud the Salt Lake, and
that Il will be open for she transmission Of messages
from New-York to San Francisco, within 40 days
The Russian line across the Urals and that Of the
United States across the Rocky Mountains, being
completed there remains only the intervening space
Oh the American side, from Oregon TO Behring's
Straits, about 100 miles, and on the Asatc side
from the Straits 10 the month Of the AMOR, about
1900 miles, in all cay about 600 mules to complete
the circuit of the earth. BY this route submarine
cables dispensed WITH except at the crossing OF
the Straits, about 40 miles, and which sounded
the whole distance; and even this may be divided
into shorter sections by using islands lying IN the
Straits The Committee on Commerce Of the House
Of Representatives last February, IN their report,
Svow their belief that the construction of this tee-
graph is practicable and more likely to succeed than
any other route OF mode yet suggested.

be trayersed by the main trunk line Of telegraph fol-
lows the great post and caravan route reaching from
Moscow to the heart and center of Russo Chinese
commerce, 1900 miles east Siberia herself has been
called the California of Russia. She pours into Rus
sa about SIS 900, 600 of gold yearly At Nijne-Nov-
sorod the celebrated fairs the greatest in the world
are held. These regulate the commerce aud ex-
changes between European and Asiauc Russia. The
Kyachta tea trade has developed commerce Of
SIS, 900 to $50 600, and the amount Of Eu-
rOpean merchandise consumed in Siberia is over
$40, 100000 A recent ukase of the Emperor grants
to foreigners equal privileges with the native Rus
sian merchants in all parts Of the Empire. The
AMOR is open to free trade, and is Davigable for
steamers it's whole length. At its mouth s fine
harbor, but while the Chinese had control they
would allow no emigration there, as they wished to
have wilderness or mountains between themselves
md all outside barbarians. TIE Pekin Government
gave n Russia the sole pOWee 10 construct and use
this telegraph but as a matter Of amity the Govern
ment of Russia has given permission 10 Great Britain
and France to share in is bei 5fts
