In the present age, events are hastening on with such amazing rapidity, that it is impossible to calculate when, or within how short a period of time such a happy consummation may be effected. We have witnessed within the last quar- ter of a century, changes more numerous, startling and unexpected, than perhaps were ever crowded into double the space of time since the creation of the world; and we see no reason to doubt that the exertions making in Borneo and Australia, occurring as they do simultaneously with the oc- cupation of Hongkong and opening of the trade in China, will lead at no distant period to the extinc-TEAK - Spars from 45 to 60 feet long.
