From the way the wind 10 now, blowing we are
obliged to conclude that change of startling mage
nitude is impending over the governmenis of the
earth. The rebellion in China is the eide Of eiv-
Iization and whatever the issue will be felt the world
| over. This, however, can scarcely be enumerated
among the cardinal elements which 10 bling a..
bout the changes referred to. The tide Of emigration
setting from Europe to other countries, and mainly
TO this, will prove the more irresistible. England
has wealth. money, as well as the labor which that
money is said TO represent, but both stealing im-
pefceptby from her possession al least, from her
CONTROL Granting that she may in any event, and in
spite oil circumstances, retain large proportion Of
her money, what will that be worth 10 her as gov.
ernmeni! II may feed and clothe its possessors,
but will necessarily give her either subjects SOL
diers! Besides, may the production of gold in
other countries, reduce, day by day., the value of
money! Things look Gark for England. The newer.
portions OF the world are sapPng her to the foun-
