In a note to an article on Bohemia, which appeared in the Quarterly Review, vol. xc. p. 427, it was asserted that the Rev. W. B. Clarke, of Sydney, had arrogated to himself credit, with reference to the discovery of Australian gold, which properly belonged to Sir Roderick Murchison, who, from a comparison between the geological structure of the Ural Mountains and the Australian Cordillera, predicted in 1845 the results which were subsequently verified. It has since transpired that the eminent traveller Count Strzelecki, in 1839, and Mr. Clarke, in 1841, detected a rock to be auriferous, but neither of them printed a syllable upon the subject, and the Count, at the request, it appears, of the Colonial authorities, never even mentioned the circumstance in England. While therefore it is as undoubted as ever that the conclusions of our distinguished English geologist were formed independently, and were the first published, we must yet admit that our charge against Mr. Clarke was unfounded, and we must express our regret that we should have given needless pain to an accomplished man who has since thrown so much light upon the structure of Australia. At the same time we must draw a wide distinction between the merit of a large scientific induction and the circumstance of recognising a piece of auriferous rock.
NOTE TO NUMBER CLXXXVII.
In the article upon Gray in our last number a passage is quoted at p. 7 from a letter written by Walpole from Eton, in which, after mentioning that an old schoolfellow, Asheton, is to preach on Sunday morning, he adds, The last time I saw him he was standing up funking over against a conduit to be catechised.' The Provost of Eton has done us the favour to point out that conduit '-the word given in all the editions of Walpole-is a misprint for conduct.' The explanation subjoined by Dr. Hawtrey of the true reading will be a necessary adjunct to every future edition of the Letters. The curates of Eton College are called Conducts, and in Walpole's time, and for many years after, the Fellows, whose office it was to catechise the King's Scholars in Lent, relieved themselves of that duty, and transferred it to the Conducts. The office has been for the last twelve years very properly assigned to the Head Master.'
