THE NATIONAL SOCIETY'S TRAINING INSTITU-
TroN.—Yesterday morning having been appointed by his
Royal Highness Prince Albert to lay the foundation stone of
, the National Society's Training Institution, for Schoolmas-
ters and Schoolmistresses, in Victor a street, from an early
hour the place selected for the ceremony was crowded.
Precisely at one o'clock Prince Albert arrived, attended by
Colonel Phipps and Colonel Seymour, and was received on
alighting from his carriage by the Committee of the Na-
tional Society, the clergy of the district, and others con-
nected with the institution. After the usual service, his
Royal Highness went through the ceremony of laying the
stone in the unal manner, and the proceedings soon after
terminated.
By the arrival of the Statesman yesterday from
Port Phillip, accounts have been received with regard to the
Victoria Gold Mines up to the 27th January, teing eleven
days later than the last details. It appears that the ex-
citement was rapidly increasing, and that 20,000 people had
already reached the place Irons the neighbouring colonies.
Special instances were mentioned in which parties had
obtained gold valued at about 30/. per day for several suc-
cessive days, while even since the scarcity of water the
average at the chief point of operations had been 31. These
results were principally obtained from surface diggings on a
slope of the range not a quarter of an acre in extent. It was
estimated that since the discovery the general yield, including
what had found its way into the banks, had been at least
1,000,0001. sterling, and that already, up to the
January, 600,0001. had been exported to this country.

large supply of shipping was chiefly the Cause of the

From St. Petersburgh the letters are to the 3d May. The
weather was still cold, and it was expected the opening of
the navigation would be delayed another week.
