Abstract:
The subject which I have selected to bring under your notice this
evening is connected with one of the most remarkable events of our
own day.
The supply of gold and silver had remained at a regular and
constant state for a period of about two centuries, when suddenly it
was announced, in 1849, That gold had been discovered in enormous
quantities in California; in two years California was eclipsed by
New South Wales; in subsequent years there were successive discoveries
in different parts of Australia, and the year before last
a still more remarkable discovery led to the foundation of a new
colony on the continent of North America, British Columbia.
