A YEBY REMARKABLE THEOBY.—A Mr. Mooney has
been delivering a lecture on the origin of gold, concern-
ing which be propounded the following novel theory :
I set out by declaring my belief that gold is the petrified
remains of matter which was once animate; and accom-
panied as it generally is by ocean pebbles, quartz, crystal,
and other saline and marine deb►ie, I am of opinion that
gold is the petrified fat or marrow of a peculiar fish which
once floated over the gold fields when those fields were
beds and bottoms of the world's great ocean." In proof
o ithe hypothesis that gold is nothing more than the
" petrified" fat of a peculiar fish, the lecturer showed
specimens of quartz inwhich marine shells were embed•
ded. Mr. Mooney also alluded to the fact that iron ex-
ists in the human blood, and argued from that position
that gold might be educed from the marrow of fishes !

The weather at Glasgow during the past few days has
been agreeable, although sotnewhat cold, owing to the
Prevalence of a pretty strong northeasterly wind. The
evenings are remarkably pleasant, with fine moonlight.
