All tub Gold in thb'World.— Taking the cube yard of gold at £2,000,000. which it is in round numbers, all the gold in the world at this estimate might, if melted into ingots, be contained in a cellar 24 feet square and 16 feet ' high. All our boasted wealth already obtained from California and Australia would go into an j iron safe 9 feet high. So small is the cube ol yellow metal that has set populations on the march, and roused the world to wonder. — New Quarterly Review.
