GOLD RY THE TON.

Te THE EDITION OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
The London correspondent of the National III.
tMsence under date Of the 18th inst, quotes from
the Melbourne (Australa) Morning Herald, of
April 2, the following statement in relation to the
gold mines OF that country, VIII" The quantity
Of gold which arrived ut that town, and at Geelong,
from the 30th Of September, 1851, to the 3lst Of
March, 1852, being 81, 2s5 OF. from Ballaret, and
the enormous amount Of 266, 1893 Or from Mount

have not the figures now before me, nor is it an
easy matter to ascertain accurately the amount Of
gold received at San Francisco during the same
period; but have now doubt but that it will ex-
coed four millions and q half per month, or
ST eco GOO for the six months, which gives 55 TONS
10 cwt or 8 lbs: and am quito sure over one
hundred tons Of geld during the year, from the
3lst Of March, 1861, to the slst OF March, 1852
The produce of the gold mines Of California will
exceed one hundred and thirty during the year
commencing Oh the LIST of April, 1862, and termi-
mating on the LIST day of April 1858, or about sixty
three millions Of dollars.
This large increase will be owing mainly to the
extensive and rich dry diggings brought into use by
the numerous canals; to the extensive arrangements
made for lumipg the rivers, that their beds, bars,
banks, and slides, may be more Thoroughly worked
than during any previous year; to the improved
machinery, and increased number Of mills for work.
ing quartz; and to the increased number of labo-
rers at reduced prices, in consequence Of the large
emigration Of this year.
IL is POSSIBLE that the mines of Australia may
prove richer than those of California, but not pro-
bable. Even if they should, much doubt whether
many Americans viii resort to them, though many
now in California may be induced to re,arn from
whence they came, and without detriment TO those
who prefer TO remain ID. X MINOR

G5FDANIEL WEBsTER's School MASTER.
A correspondent ofthc Transcript, writing from
Gloucester, gives the following interesting ac-
count OF an interview with Master Tappan, who
had Daniel Webster for pupil in days of
yore:
"The mention of Mr.. Webster reminds me
that met on the piazza of the Pavilion last
evening the venerable Mr.. Tappan, now rcs-
ldent Of this town, and who was one of the ear
licst instructors Of Daniel Webster and his
brother, Ezekiel. Master Tappan, as he is call
cd, Is now in his eghty-sixth year, somewhat
intirm but with his intellectual faculties bright
and vivid, especially on the subject of his old
pupil, whom he estecms the foremost man of
ms times, and In whose fame he takes justi-
fable pride.
Daniel was always the brightest boy in the
school, said Master Tappan, and Ezekiel the
next; but Daniel was much qu cker at his
studies than his brother. lie would learn more

One Saturday, remember, held up a hand-
some new lack-knic to the scholars, and said
to the boy who would commit to memory the
greatest number of verses in the Bible, BY

the boys did well; but when it came to Daniels
turn to rcclte, found that he had committed
so much that, after hearing him repeat some
sixty or seventy verses, | was obliged to rive
up he telling me that there was several chap
tiers yet, that he had learned. Daniel got that
lack-knfc.
All, sir, he was remarkable even rs boy
and told his father he would do Gods work
injustice if he did not send both Daniel and
| Ezekiel to college. The old man said he
couldn't well afford it, but told BIN he must
