Our arrival at Nertchinsk, where Mr. Jean Alexandro- witch Yuvinsky delighted in giving shelter to two Ameri- ean citizens, created gome little stir, although the Ameri- cans, probably now a fortaight abead of us, bad told them that were coming thit way. Our host naively brought some Of hie friends into our room, who bad come, as he explained, to have a look at the newly arrived Americans. The next morning an invitation was received te the howe of Mr, Andre Andreivitch Zinzinoff, the J. J. Astor of Nericbinsk, who sent an elegant sleigh for our conveyance. We entered a spacious, weil heated stone eujlding, and were ushered into a handsome, richly deco- rated saloon, where the master of the house and his -family weleamed us with great cordiality, Other guesta had arrived, and the clergy was represented by @ white haired, dignified looking high priest, bis son, a protopope, ‘and two more priests. The vast saioon contained some fine religious and other pictures, and though it was now winter, beautiful orange, jeeamine and oleander trees, in full bloom, were contrasting with the deep snow lying on the balcony. Our imperfect knowledge of the language ‘was sufficient to exchange civilities all around; the ladies present eecmod well disposed towards us, and an interest ing group of children of all ages was really pleasing to behold. Tables, richly Joaded with a variety of dishes, were Drought in, and the flerce attacks made upon them at the urgent reqjhest of the host were soon paralyzed by fresh ‘and abundant supplies. Ag/apisecompaniment to this luncheon, or sakooska, ax they called Wt, a sweet liquor, prepared from black goose, straw, whortlc and other berries, with an addition of alcohol, was handed round, and every guest induced, no- Tens volens, o partate of it and give his opinion of its taste. ‘She variety of berries in this part of Transbaikabi must be neionisbingly great, a8 our host bad ordered, at least for the tenth time, another and better kind of naleeski, (this is the namo of the beverage), to be fetched up from the cellar, and kept insisting op our trying and judging its quality. Now, as itis agrave offence in all the Russias to pour out less thau a fall glass, and a still graver ono not to empty it at once to the last drop, and as we fo. reigners did not wish to show cur want of appreciation of their custome, it may easily be surmised that tho con. sumption of this nalegfki, the sweetness of which makes onc forget ite stimulating effct, soon produced a general hilarity and happiness But vp to now ail had been, as it were, child’s play ‘only, for other and larger tables were spread, the real breakfast began, and the master of the house gave the first toast, which wag nothing more nor less than in honor and to the health of our own respected selves. The ex eitement with which thig toast was drank, and the num. ber of others that followed immediately in its wake, such asto the republic of America, to the President, to the State of California, &c., afforded our worthy host a wel- come occasion to produce a further variety of still better nalee/ki; and es it is deemed a great hoaor and a sign of {riendebip and good wishes to emash your glass after eash tonst, the destruction of crystal was such a3 would have delighted the most stoical crockery msnufacturer, and two servants were constantly busied in sweeping away the debris.

When we at last proceeded to take our leave, we wire patna to seat ourselves once more, and this Ddeing done, everybody sat down, and silence reigned for @few minutes. Then all stood up aguin, and amidat aa- warances of good fet.owship, kissing and shaking of hands, we quitied the honge, We think yory highly of this cus- fom, which gives to the “farewell” aud ‘good bye” a proper weight and so'emnity by prefacing i with w short silence, while in common the leave takiog is performed in @ hurried and thoughtiess manner, AS we intended to continue our Journey the next day, we declined a number of invitations from other citizens, but accepted tbe offer of a commodious travelling carriage, er taractas, which we were to take to Irkatsk and deliver fo ts owner. On tha L4th we left the hospitable people at Nertehivek, haytog five horees, ibe abreast, to our heavy, tarantas, and reached Tohita, the capital of Transbatkani, distant 268 verets, on the 16th, Tbe expense of travelling ‘witb post horses is very ioconsiderabiec. After obtaining a “perrait, which corts haif « copeck per veret for each horse, Abe charge is one and a half copeck per verat, making two cepecks, or one and ahalf centa in all. You may thus travei a distance of fourteen thousand versta, like that be- tween St, Petersburg and Petropanlooeki, wih a permit for two horses, at an average cost of $420. To this should De adved the fee of the driver, without which, thongh it is Bot obi gstory, you wonid not got abead very fast; also a small obargo at exch station for tho nse of ihe post car- risge, if you are not provided with yourown.

The horses are, generally Apeakivg, very poor, not large, badly fed, and stables are pet mich known in Siberie; but yet there animals aro so beray that they su‘ler from the summer beat only, never from the intense cold of the winter. Tuey aro driven very bard, and, if you fee tae driver in proportion, very fast, too; atier which they are Jett standing out in the cold ap hour or two without being fed. To make them run faster, itis not uncommon to pour water on them, which inatantly freezer, avd forming a glittering coat all over the apimal, chills itand makes it anxious to get in mo- tion. The postal regulations ret forty the epeed at which the different classes of passengers shail be driven, The for whoma set of three horses, a troika, must stand in readiness et each station, is to be driven of not lees than eighicen yersis aa hour (one ‘verst 8.518 feet); ofllcers Who travel on governmont Dusi- neve, from ten to twelve versts; private traveliers, vight to ten verats, acsoraing to the seaton of the year.

THE BONRIATS—THEIR RELIGION AND CUSTOMS— VERKENY VODINSK—A MERCHANT PRINCE—THB GOVERNOR GENERAL—ARRIVAL AT LAKE BAIKAL. Having teft Tchita on the 18th of October, we crossed a ‘igh plateau formed by the Yoblonoi Mountains, which are traversed on @ perfectly level road, the ridge boing Indicated by the course of the streams that send their waters westward towards Lake Baikal. From Tchita to Verkhny Vodinsk are fifteen stations, or 428 versts, part of the road being very eandy and others difficult to pass ‘on account of deep and soft snow. Tho post stations be- tween these towas are principally kept by Bonriats, a Mongol tribe, living bere and all around Lake Baikal. ‘They are industrious and intelligent, and look much like Chinese, with 4 mixturo of the Calmuock. Their religion ts probably Buddhistio; but some of their rites are very peculiar. We saw on our route a large number of trees and shrubs ornamented with parti-colored woollen and cotten rag#, and white, brown and black horge hair, alto- gether very Guy Fawkes like in appearance, and on asking the Bopriats, who understood a little Russian, what it meant, were toll that they performed their devotions yound such a tree, in the vicinity of which we often noticed traces of n camping place, The Bonriats are aub jects’ of tho Russian government, though they havo yet princes of their own among them who retain a shadow of their former importance. They cultivate the ground, own large herds of horses and cattle, and many have abandoned their former nomadic life, intermarrying now and then with Russians, We saw a grammar and prayer book (printed at Kezon) in their language, and suppore that a great number of them can read and write. Arithmetic is certainly not unknown to them, for they drove us in precisely the same ratio as we food thitin. The manner in driving up and down steop hills and moun- tains, as practiced by Siberian drivers, ia quite p:culiar. In going down bill, whether it be a short aad steap one, or jong and stretching with a heavy grade, they let the borses run at full speed, contenting themeclyes with hang- ing on to the reins and to their seat, both of which they stick to ag firm as grim death. Once on the road down hill, there is no possibility either for horses or driver to stop. The carriage or sleigh goes along at a tremendous rate, and if it does not upset or smash, but arrives ea’e at the foot, the Bonriat urges his horses with voice and whip to run up the vext hill as fast as porsible,giving them no time to breathe or rest. This operates, of course, very severely on the poor horses, who frequently become quite frantic with excitement when they feel the heavy vehicle close at their heels, and their only chance in running. At such moments our drivers generally set up an additiona yell of encouragement and delight; and though we did not feel very comfortable inside, being conzcious that our vecks were in no litt’e danger, still the daring of these wild fellows had something refreching. After being upset with our aleigh two or three times, we would, after arri¢- ing at the top of a steep bill, caution our Jehu to drive slowly and check his animals; he would answer, 1 obey; but the horges, being ascustomed to run down bill et full speed, would not be managed, and away «ec went with increasing velocity, like the rusa of an avalanche. From Tchit» to Verkbny Vodinsk are fifteen stations, aud We were atthe last, within eight verris of the latter towa, when our horees gave out and refused to pull togavher All our eBorts, united to those of the driver, a iad of eighteen, were in vain, and night closed upon Us with to prospect’ of remaining out on the road in this cold apd uncomfortabie position. [t was concluded that We should etart fur the town on foot, and procure fresa horses from the postmaster; we started for that purpose, and it wae about eleven o'clock, after a walk of three Murs, that we reached the place, “which at this hour was dark ana eilent, no lights beieg visible in ang of the houses, nor aby of the inhabitants abroad. Without koowing where to direct our etepe, we had passed through aaveral narrow lanes, when we met a email boy oa horseback who told us, upon our inquiring, that he had forgotten to water the horse and was going to do go now. We asked him to ehow us first to the postmaster’s office and a hotel, pro- misting kim a fee, aw ich the lad, probably twelve years old, agreed, He {nformed us that the only boarding house in the town was kept by «German, Mr. Pauff; vaat the latier would send for the postmaster, and that be would conduct ua to this Mr. Pantl, ‘whose house was at the other end of the place. We kept walking in the dark, close to the boy and horse, when our jitile guido asked ua whether we had not heard of the Amerikantzi, who, it had been reported in the town for the past two weeks, would pase through on their way to Irkutsk? He said that he wes very curious to see them, but had go. = of waiting for them to hee Cait Dh te) afraid rsd ey would only stay long enough to change horses, an: he ahoula not have a chance to see them. 4 Had it pot been so dark we might have satisfed tho honest Jad’s curiosity at once; we told him, however, that asa further recompense for bis trouble, he should, a& soon as we got to the hotel, be the drst in the whole ben tosee one 0; the two Amertkantzi, upon which he iatelli- gently exclaimsd—Then you are one.”” Having with dimsuity ‘med the people of the hotel ‘and woke up the lsndiord, we fulfilled our promise to the voy, who left to water his horse, conscious of the advaa tage he bad gained over all the sleepers in the town. Just as Mr. Pauff, the landlord, had sent to the Postmas- ter’s for fresh horses, we heard the voices of our friends, whom we imagined eight versis off, shivering on the road. Itseems that by dint of rseverancs, but especially by sbifting the Darness of the horses and making them change places, putting the Fight o one on the left, the centre one on the side (a favorite practive in Si- berla, which often answers better than the most cruel flogeting) they had contrived to make them pall, aad 0 the town not long after ourself. vein Vodinsk, situate at the mouth of the river Ooda, which flows into the Selenga, is a smail town with a few thousand inhabitants, but with considerable trade, secured by its situation between Kiakhta, Irkatse and ‘Tohita; the native Bonriate supply themselves here, aad an ennual fair is held. The merchant king at this pirce, Mr, Apollon Demetrievitch Kurlatott, a millionaire by his own judustry, who exhibits a splendid mansion, and wo, a Napoleon in commerce, directs his vast transactions from the mouth of the Amoor to St. Petersburg froma little office attached to his dwelling, invited us to his house, where he received us with great hospitality. The Governor General, who had deea to Kiakhta on di- plomatic alfeirs, wow expected on his return to stay a day at the house of Apollon Demetrievitch. (Russian polite- ‘ness requires the family name to be leftout when you ad dress or speak 0° a person; you cali him only by his first name and that of father, aiding to tho latter “witch” —as for instance, if you are John Smith, your father Alexander Smith, your name will be “Tvan’ Alex androvitch,” or John, the son of Alexander. Philologers are of the opivion thas the Russian Vitch is coonscved with the Norman Fitz, a Fitz James, Fite William, &2.) Great preparations were mado to receive with duc Honors Nicolai Nicoiatevitch (Mouravteff), on whom the FE. peror had Istely conferred the tite of “Count Auroorsky,”’ (to distinguish him from amother Nicolai Nicolaievitch Mura. viel, a rejative of his, the hero of Kura, who is called Karreky). Tae Governor Genorai being expected during the night, number of citizens hay posted themselvec at the ferry crossing the Selenga, where, mm epite of the intense cold and the dangerous drift ice in this rapid river, they kept up bage signal fies, fod By tar and pitch; but they were disappointed a(ver all. Towards morning a courier announced that the Governor General bad gone direct to the Baikal, which be woutd — with the steamer—thea the only one Plying on the ©. We were desirous toreach Iricatak as quick a8 possible, having been thrse months on the road siuce we lft Nico laifsk; we therefore sent at ones for prst horaes, but re ceived the usual answer given upon a commoa permit, “None thera.”’ Atiast, after considerable delay, we gov under way again, crossed the Seleuga, which was com pletely covered with drift ice, and expectod from day w day to freeze solid, avd reached the station at the lake, Porsolsk aya, distant 139 verste, the next morning. Hero we learned that the Governor Genoral and suite bad left a couple of hours ago, and embarked on board the steamer, which lay a few versts south of the station, that we wore too late, and would nave to await the return of kaii steamer, which would bs back in twoor tires days. This wae bad newe; we had travelled all nigat, urged the drivers by heavy fees, and now had missed 1: by an hour or two; in consequence of which we should have to lose our time at this cold and dreary station, oa the sterile and sandy shore of the Baikal. Jumping into our Wagou again, we ordered the pofillioa to drive at fall speed to the nearest landing piace of the steamer, promising him a hapdsome gratuity. Tae dis. tance is nine versts, the roads wodulating and sandy; wo thought w obtain, at least, a view of the departing steam. or, if not able to Teach ber, and our driver seconded this intention by galloping along at such a farious rate thal the wheels, carriage body and our own bodies seemed destined to fly i every direction, ‘the shore of the lake i hero an arid beach, which extends far into the lake, and outside of which the sieamer was Jying to witn the suchor apsak and ready to start. On shore lay some old schooners and small vesgela which were to communicate with the deeper water; the latter sends a long swelling wave ashore, sini- Jar to tho beach of Lake Erie at Buffalo. We asked some men who stood there to hoist an old fail as @ signal to the steamer to take us on board, bat were told thatshe would leave instantly, and that’ fur- thermore no one could be permitted to go on board of her without having paid his fare beforehand. Here a dirty looking iudividual presented himself as the clerk or agent, and sait be was ready to receive eight silver roubles from each of us if we ogy to go on board. Wo requested him to get us theta “with all convenient speed,’ asthe steamer had now anéwered the signal, and would stop fér us; but he turned cooly away. Some other men who there, looking as much like bri: gands as the clork himecif, and whom we asked to taxo us in a boat.to the steamer, said that their boat was too small, that the steamer would leave before we could roach po and that the only f+ boat belonged to the aforesaia lerk, one We had paid him tho fare he gave us no tickets, stating that ho had nowe with him; and on our insisting that he should take us on Hoard, ho considerad that no part of his duty. If the tine had not been #0 short, we might have taught this amiable agent how to treat pyaon- gerg, ®ho bad paid their fare in ad "ance; but wo were io the greatest hurry, and ticing the ill favored cromt aravud us, jumped into an old flatboat and was 8000 con veyed through the ground serolt anfy on board the stoam- er, wold /mmediately got under way. x.
