In the leiter -I wrote you on Commer-
cial Panics, some weeks ago, 1 stated that
the discoveries of gold in California and
Australia had not added much to the
real w6alth of the world. I know that
the public think very differently on this
subject. But the public are frequently
wrong, indeed, in my opinion, Majorities
are oftener in the wrong than minorities.
But, however, the majorities rule. al-
though often the minorities hold pretty
firmly to their opinions. But regarding
the question of gold, perhaps no person
has studied the subject more closely
than Mr. Hunt, keeper of the English
mining records. A few extracts from
his writings, 1 think, will bear me out
in what I -said. His writings and lee-
-tures on gold are ofthe highest impor-
tance,e and' ought to --itnore generally
known. I regret that the space of a
newspaper article will allow me to make
but brief allusion to his pages. People
who only consider the great quantities
of .gold discovered -think that it must
certainly be increasing in the *mid.
They overlook•the Many arid mysterious
,
ways in which it, is absorbed. Large
quantities of it -are used in the arts and
sciences. it is estimated by Mr. Mc-
Culloch that not less than $30,000,000 is
annually used in this way. -The weekly
' consumption of gold leaf in reat Britain
is .estimated at eot leas than 600 'ounces,
nerly all of which thenceforth becomes
completely lost to the world, For gild-
ing metals by electrotype and water
gilding not less that 10,000 ounces are
annually required in Great Britain
alone. In the British potteries great
quantities are also used for gilding porce-
lain and making the crimson and rose
colors. The loss by the wear of gold
coin in circulation. is estimated. at 4 per
cent. This appears a high estimate, but
I make it on the very best authority—
that of Mr. Hunt before referred to. It
is also estimated by several high authori-
ties that nearly $10,000,000 worth of
gold would be required every year to
maintain the currency at de present value,
and ,that about $45,000,000 worth of
.
gold annually is necessary for the arts,
manufactories and purposes of coinage.
But, over and above all that is here stat-
ed, it must be remembered that vast
quantities of gold are exported from Eu-
rope which never again return in any
form.Some may be lost at sea. The
grew er portion, however, goes to India.
The balance of trade between Europe
and America and India is always against
the two former. The produce of 'India
is chiefly paid for in gold. and it is a
well known fact that gold gone to India,
especially • to the interior, liehlom or
never conies back. The natives of that
country are the greatest hoarders of gold
in the world. it is incalculable what
immense sums of the precious metal are
hid away. in secret places by some of the

all probabilit
(ban Nabobs or Sahibs,
e useful to the world, in
any more. And all the
time those Iedians are carrying on the
process of absorbing and hoarding every
bit of gold they can put their hands on.
It goes on with them like a law of sna
ture. This may be a kind of safety valve,
a wise provision of rrovidenee to keep
gold -from increasing in the world to(
rapidly, and to keep it at a fixed stand
ard. It is believed that the absorptim
of gold by exportation is as great, if no
greater, that the quantity dug from th

is not *teasing, nor is it losing its value,
but the contrary rather. In the year A.
D. 14 the amotitit of gold in Resew was
$1,500,000,000, but instead of increareing
there it sbecame less,• and in 792 years

give -tea table of the N attic of gold at dif-
ferent' period -Pin England. • According to
him the value of a troy pound of gold
ie the year 1344 was £15, in 14)26 it was
£27, in 1605 it was £40.10, in 1718 it
was £46.14.6, and precisely the same in
1817, just at the close of the great wars,
and jest the sane price it was one hun-
dred years before. I behease 15 18 about the
same still. No depreCiation apparent
here. These opinions and facts are not
mine. They, are chiefly gleaned from
the works of Nr._ Hued and Sir John
Herschel. If they be. correct, as no
doubt they are. certainly there is ar)
grounds to. fear that eur great money
standard is depreciating or will depreci-

a few hints which the people should_

The rhineceros was not so easily disposed
of, and as a. number ef men gathered
around it, and began to undo its fasten-
ings, it was evident from its actions and.
the movements of the men, that a row
was expected. A blow from a whip in-
creased the rage of the animal, which
then became furious, and in effort to re-
strain it by winding the ropes round the
centre pole had to be abandoned, lest
the ropes should break. The huge mon-
ster then Circled round, carrying the men
along like so many flies. Clearing the
embankneent of • the ring, the unruly
brute was rapidly approaching the seats,
which were thronged ;with spectators.
Those persons who were nearest the
scene scattered in all directions. Just
when the brute had reached the seats
Dan Rice struck the huge animal severe-
ly once or twice with the sjiarp spike of
an elephant hook. • This turned him,
and the danger was averted. The people
on the whole behaved with great com-
posure, some thinking that the part not
in the programme was the best in the
performance.—Paisley Advocate.
• A New Scientific Discovery.
For some time the scientific world has
not been startled and rejoiced by any
very great discovery; but at the present
moment we are on the eve of the publica-
tion of one of the greatest acieetific . dis-
coveries of the present age. The happy
man who has struck on a new and rich
vein of scientific truth conies from the
Granite uity, and is a very distinguish-
ed alumnus of the University of Aber-
deen. - Dr. Ferrier, who was some time
ago appointed, auecessor to Dr. Guy in
the Chair ot Forensic Medicine in King's
College, London, has just crowned the
sttidy of years by a most happy and
brilliant seriesof experiments. Dr. E'er-
rier. was a succeseful student of philoso-
phy, and stained the Ferguson Scholar-
ship in Gasgow before he studied medi-
cine. It was probably his acquaintance
with Profeseor Bain's psychology that
led him iSe-give special attention' to the
physioldgy of the brain, and his gradua-
tion thesis on the brain, for which he
obtained a gold medal, proved that he
had already entered on the study in
which he is decined to acquire enduring
fame. He has never lost sight of the ob-

-Curiously enough, Dr. Ferrier's discov-
ery coincides with another almost essen-
tial to its practical success. Anatomists
have warned phrenologists that 'they
erred in taking the outward shape of the
skull as indicating the shape of the brain.
the skull varies considerably, and it is
impossible to say of any particular part
that the brain ia such and such a ais-
tance below. Nevertheless, anatomy
has recently shown there is a relation
between the shape of the ekull and of
the brain, and that it is possible to know
what is in the inside of the head without
breaking -it open. This is most oppore•
tune, for when Dr. Ferrier has mapped
out the brain it will be as possible to
diagnose a man's faculties as tell his
shape. We are glad- to learn that at the
instance of Professor Huxley, the Royal
Society has come handsomely forward
and voted a grant to D. Ferrier to carry
out his experiments on monkeye. The
monkey is the nearest aporoach to man
in the animal kingdom, and as it is of
course out of the question .to experiment
on men, the monkee will form an ade-
quate substitute. Altogether it is likely
that Dr. Ferrier's ,discovery, beyond any
discovery of the present generation, will
enlarge the circle of human knowledge,
and contribute to the happiness of man-
kind. — D undee .A dvertkier
