Let our readers note as fact which it may he

last word is scarcely too harsh 10 apply to Gov
ernsnents who are asking for tt: loan of iul-
mense sums, happily in vain. Kussia, whose

per cent. rents hare fulien to-day to t2t., f5c.,

dition to which England might be reduced after
carrying on with increasing, energy war in tile
Crimea and another in 1udia for ten years with
out stintiny herself Of any other luxury. As
thuse three Powers cannot Keep tile wun cut
without continual begging and borrowing, aud
can only discharge their old obligations by cun-
tracing fresh ones, their bankruptcy is Dues

being with Russian Siberia, while the manufac-
