Sir Ruderick Murchison writing to the Manches-
ter duteriner in contradiction of some assertions lately
made in that city by Dr. Cumming, adds the toll-wing
interesting statement: "The hypothesis which I
formed respecting the probable exigence of gold in
Australia originated, and was proved to be true,
in this way. In the year DM when fresh from the
gold-bearing Ural Mountains, I had the opportunity of
examining a large collection of the rocks from the meridional
chain of &stare Australia, brought home by my friend
Coast Strselooki, and I was so much struck by their re-
semblance to my Uralian rocks (also • meridional chain),
that I publicly expressed my surprise, in addressing the
Geographical Society, that no gold had yet been found in
our ?distant colony. The more I reflected on the subject,
the more I was led to the belief that gold would
be found in Australia, and in 1846 I urged the un-
employed tin miners of Cornwall to emigrate and try
there their luck in gold diggings. In 1848, having re-
ceived small specimens of gold from two or three parties,
I wrote to her Majesty's Secretary for the Colonies, and said
that what had been • theory was then • realised fact, and
expressing my opinion that Australia was about to become
en
auriferous region. This was three years before the
so-called discovery of gold in Australia.*
The Friend of India says :—" The ex-King of
Delhi, Bahadur Shah, is dying in his comfortable wooden
house at Rangoon. He is not expected to survive this cold
, season. He has received every comfort which 10 rupees a
month could purchase, andhasbeen allowed, in common with i
his family, to wander at will, on his parole,within the limits
of cantonments. • privilege he has seldom been able to avail
himself of. His son, Jumma Bukht, and the two brothers,
are fast becoming accomplished English scholars. We
wonder Bahadur Shah has survived the eveuts of 1857 so
long. His wife is still hale and well."
