THE NEW SIBERIA.
An end is to be made of the horrors of Siberian exile. According to a proposition or the Minister of Justice, hard labour in the minas and lifelong exile are to be abolished. These penalites will be struck out of the penal code. "Houses of correction" are to be created in the chief Russian towns instead. Tho idea is that there will be more colonists attracted to Siberia, and a greater extension o'f Russian and foreign enterprise there if the odium attached to the place of exile of myriads of Russians be re- [ moved.
