Exiles to Siberia.

--The average number of persons exiled to Siberia yearly is about 9,500, exclusive of the women and children that accompany them. To get to the station of Toboisk they have to travel from 927 to 4,500 versts, (the verst is two-thirds of a mile,) according to the district they start from. From Toboisk to Tumen is a journey of eighty-five days, to Kransnojersk 116 days, and to Irkutsk 117 days. Most of the exiles go through Irkutsk to Merchinak. This long journey made by the criminals promiscuously with the women and children has a lamentable effect on their morals.
