It rtrf Account of the Process of Coinage in the llranrh Mint at .Yt tr Orleans. Silver and Gold are coined at tins Hint into dollars, halves, iiuarters, tiilee. (told i- nrcsented to lis in the form nf fio-eitrn coin. bars, dust, and old jewelry; the most abundant foreign gold coins being Knglish mvereigus, Freneli Napoleons, patriot doubloons, and the coinage of ditVcretit Cierniiin Stales ; while the unwrought gold is principally from the State of Alabama. Mexican dollars constitute the greatest hulk of the material for silver coinage. Any person bringing good precious metal to this Mint for coinage, is entitled to receive hack m Auier- ioan coins exactly the same amount of fine gold or tine silver which he brings, without deduction or ponee; the United states Government taking upon itself the expense of coinage. I f the bullion, contain ing both gold and silver, require tin' operation of parting, or if toughening be nquUed, then the actual expense of tAOOO oeration i.- deducted from the value of the bullion, in favor of the Government. Hullion is received hy UM treasurer, weighed in presence of the owner by the weigher, who gives a receipt for the actual weight in troy ounces and decimals. If it consist of mixed coins, or various bars, it is sent into the melting department, placed in a red-hot, clean black-lead pot, melted, stirred up, and mixed, and cast into a homogeneous bar. It is next given to (he as-sayer, who cuts oil a piece of the bar, rolls out the piece, clips it with sheeM, and weighs out exactly LOOQ milligrammes thereof, wh oh he wraps up hi lead, and places upon a white hot dish of bono earth; the whole melts, and, oxidizing, everything present is usually absorbed by the bone earth but the silver or gold. If pure silver ahme remain, its weight in milligrammes shows how many thousandths line the bullion is. The result is, however, corrected hv what is called the llll mid assay, whh'h depends on a definite precipitation of , chloride id' silver, from a solution of nitrate of silver, by definite measures ,,f ji solution of common salt ot . tor materials and labor. I he steam mills of .N i ork known strength. If the assny be one of gold, after 'id its vicinity an- fast getting the " Generator," and the bottom of metal baa beea removed from the bone I the Lowell Aotorlea andotbera contemplate Ho edop j e irth, it is melted with about three times its own weight ' tion at an early day. It is applicable toall instruiueu-of pure silver, the alloy is rolled out and repeatedly talities used for generating and applying beat as an subjected to the action ot hot nitric acio, winch (lis- i h dves and removes the s over, hut leaves the gold. I at l itter is carefully washed, dried, annealed at a red heat, nnd subsequently weighed in milligrammes, by which the proportion of gold in 1000 parts is made apparent. With these data, the assayer then estimates the value of the bullion, whereupon the treasurer, if called upon, promptly pays the amount to Hie owner. Parcels of hullion nf known value, ore, from time to time, delivered and debited to the inciter and refiner, who manufactures the same into ingots for Uie use of the coiner. UpOfl the receipt of bullion, the inciter nud re tiner assorts the bars into the following classes : A. Ready to be made directly into ingots, li. Requiring to be toughened. Requiring separation. A. A un it is made by arithmetical calculation, from bars of the class A, some above, some lielow standard in title, so that UM result of melting and mixing may Btoduro ingots IMKl-IOOOths fine. In case of silver nboiit "000 troy ounces, equal 0)400 lbs. avoird., are melted in a large cast-iron pot or crucible, surrounded hy a chare il tire, in a wind or draft furnace; and when the whole is in a state of fusion the mass is dili gently stirred, and then, by band, laded out nnd pour- j i into smooth iron moulds, making slim ingots about Hi inches long. Wold is in like manner melted and cast into ingots in black-lead pots, each holding ahlt ; Ui'tO ounces, near 101 lbs avoird. The assayer next ascertains that the ingots cast are of a legal fineness required, if not, they are condemned and have to be re-molted. B. Bullion containing any thing but gold, silver, nud copper, usually requires to be toughened, nn one ration commonly performed in the Mint hy re peatedly ftnttini nitre upon the surface Of the incited metal, stirring it about, and then skimming it off, with the i rnss trom the base lot !;t coll allied. ('. The mint nrocesses followed for the separation f llcioo' inU or silver, are as follows : In the first two sufficient sureties, conditional to tender to the lace the mixed bullion, if required, is melted with ad- plaintiffs monthly, a true account of all stoves made ditional silver, so that the alloy may contain about (,r sold by him, and in case the plaintiffs finally suc-thrce times as mm h silver as gold the melted me- i ceeded in establishing Buck's patent. tal is poured in a small stream trom a height of a few t into colli water, hy which oi-ans it i dtaincd in a tine pnnnJaatl condition; the (jraiiuliited metal placed in a ulass mattress, supporte l upon a Bund bath, is boiled with nitric acid which dissolves the ailver, lmt leaves iititnitehcd the jrold, in the form of n dark powder. The dissolved silver is poured into a tub of strong brine id I KM salt, by w hich it heeninea converted into a white powder, the chloride of sdver. Alb r repeated washinj; the chloride of silver is subjected to the joint action of metallic zinc and hydrogen pas, by which means it becomes changed lo pure,finely-divided, solid silver. After being wnidied nnd dried, it is inelied with nitre and borax, and cast into Ivan". The dark powder of gold is also carefully washed in hot water, dried, and in like manner cast into bars. (Consequent upon these oierations, more or leas gold and silver hecomea mixed with ashes, dross, dirt, Ac. All these matters are finely ground and watdied, smelted, Ac., for the extraction of the precious metal. But there will still remain a valuable residue, for which reason the sweeping are ultimately treated like poor gold or ailver ores, meUilurgic operations, th,- performance of which have heretofore not been allowed in thi- Mint. The sweepings arc, in fact, sold abrond. JV. 0. Vicnipinr, of 7tk.

The editor of the New York Tribune has examined recently in two establishments at Brooklyn the operation of the apparatus known as " Clute & Seabury's Improved Patent Heat Generator." Iteflbetaa saving of from 25 to 60 per cent, in the amount of fuel required) the cost of erecting the Works with it is considerably less, as high chimneys, towers, fcc, are superceded. The heat is entirely retained around or absorbed into the boiler, so that one may put lis band illto the chimney just abov the hotter at any tune, ami experience no leneaUOU but that of pleasant, genial warmth in u current of air. The heat is soentire- ly retained that, the Are being stopped and all opera- ' tions ottjpended at early evening, the workmen come hack next morning and at once start the machinery again, without a particle of the under the boiler. The saving of time thus realized is no slight additional advantage. The process by which this is effected is ve- rV simple, and is thus described by the editor of the i rioune : n The active agent is a common blower, acting on ft coal lire in the common boiler grate, from which the heat and flame pass over a bar wh'toh brinm them into close contact with the boiler, which they follow to the farther end. Here instead of passing vp into the Hue, the unconsuined gases passfmrt into a lower reservoir or outlet) from which thev escape into the chimney, into which strong current of almi spheric air is admitted, perhaps two feet above the reservoir. Thta air being heavier than the heated gases, hears then down; and in fact all the gases usually escaping from fuel and firming smoke, I. cited air iVc, are , retained in UM tire chamber and consumed, except the carbonic aoid gas, (incombustible,) which alone passes off, hardly warm, through the chimney. All beside is retained and consumed in the fbrrMtlon of steam. Any offensive gases whVh may be generated by the iniiiufi-tire carried on hy tim h dp of the engine t j which this is attached, may be conveyed into the fireplace and made not merely harmless but useful." The improvement can be added when works are be ing put up or remodelled at an expense (other than the patentees charge) o ft' few dollars. To apply it to works already in in operation costs from QUO to $50 cicmenioi propulsion. nan mare American. I!. M. Circuit Court, New York. P ATT. st RiuiiT. A case involving the validity of Buck's patent for Cooking Stoves, has been tried at the lite term of the U.S. Circuit court in the Northern District of New York. The case is briefly reported from the Albany Journal, and from that report it appears That Buck, in l'J!', obtained I patent for an improvement in the 'nuking Stove, consisting in the extension of the oven under the hearth of Qm s'ove, and in combination with the tlucs which surrounded the oven, securing an equal degree of heut on all sides with a very slight consumption of fuel. Recently John V, Herniaee of Schenectady, has under a patent, which he obtained subsequently to that of Mr. Buck, constructed and sold stoves embracing Buck's improvement. For this violation of his patent, Mr. Buck nnd Mr. Nathaniel Wright, nf tins city, the assignee of a portion of the patent, sued Mr. Iler- manee m an action at law, and also hied a lull tor an Injunction to restrain him from making or selling any stoves embracing Buck's improve Ulelit. I he suit at law was tried this week and occupied several days. The ense was submitted to the Jury, who atVer being out during one night, came into court stating that they could not agree. We understand that nine of the Jurors were in favor of sustaing Mr. Ruck's patent. The Jury were discharged, and the case must he tried Rgnhl at MM next term of the court. AOer trial the plaintiffs applied lo the court for an injunction to restrain Ilermanee, the defendant, trom making or selling stoves embracing Buck's improve- men! I he court granted the injunction asked br, the defendant should, within 40 days, give to the phimtins a bond in the penalty ot ,'.',IHHI, with The Kditor. The fraternity were well represented at Memphis. They had their fun too. After fhe work was over in the Convention they had their frolic. Beferring to their number and their fun, the Journal saya : Another thing to lie noted was the extraordinary nmulicr of editors at the Convention. I do not know the precise uumlier, but there were aotne thirty or forty. This class constitute a new power or estate, and their influence is rapidly increasing, and their social position is rapidly improving. It is remarkable what a fellow feeling prevails nnong them, nnd how readily they mingle together wherever they meet. During the Convention thev had several delightful reunions. On Saturday night the editors of the Memphis Enquirer, Eagle and Appeal, gave a superb supper to which all the editors and ex-editors were invited, nnd which most of them attended. They werefof nil political opinions, hut thev conlesecd like brandy Hid wnter. The evening passed off gloriously n unci song, story, wine, wit, nnd orntorj. In nnecdole, Hurst, of the Vicksburg Intelligencer, so far aurpasws all others that it is not invidious to single him out, hut the rest must be praised in the lump. I cannot, however, fail to hear testimony to the lilieral and warm hospitality of our Memphis brethren, and we tender to to them full ' rpt,ir kina wenever they may visit Louisville. . ,n n(.rHOns will have a stronu waron drawn bv four oxen, and supplied with everv thing necessary for the journey.

Pom The packing season has fairly commenced. We learn that a good deal of animation ensts in the market, and that a number of large purchases of hogs hve been made at $4 per hundred. This seems to be the rnrrent price for good hogs weighing J00 or more It is thought, we believe, that a mnch larger amount of pork will be out no in this olace. this season, than last year fkilltfm'kf Gaitttr The Suubury American thus describes the manner in winch UM iron 1 rail tor railroads is manufactured at the Montour Works at Danville, Pennsylvania : In order to make the Traail, the iron is first rolled through 000 sett of rollers into heavy flat bars, about three inches in width and three-fourths of an inch in thickness. These burs are then cut in pieces, something less than three feet in length. A number of the pieces, probably 15 or 2tt, are then placed together, making a sipiare bundle or faggot, weighing nearly four hundred pounds. This faggot is then placed into one of the furnaces and brought to a white heat. when it is drawn on a small iron hand cart and con- d to the rollers. The treat webrht and intense heat of such a heavy mass, requires considerable skill as well as strength, in passing it through the rollers. Tlie bar as it pasjes through, is caught and supported by iron levers, fastened to chaiiiH that are suspended on pulbes from above. The liar first passes through the square grooves of the rollers three or four times, before it is run through the different grooves that gradually bring it to the form of the edge or T rail, as seen upon our railroads. Through the Inst grooves it passes five or six times before it is completed. It is then placed on u small railway cnrr'iage, on a track 1H feet wide, and hauled up about 20 feet, when the rail comes in contact with two circular saws, one of which is placed on each side of the railway. These saws revolve with great rapidity, and the moment the rail, still red hot, reaches them, the red, sparkling iron saw dust is scattered in every direction. The rails are thus cut off square at ear h end, exactly 1H feet bmg, apparently as easy as if they were made of tough hickory wood. The rail is then dragged to the pile and left to cool, perfectly finished. The rails we saw made were intended for the Harrisburgh and Lancas-br road, and weighed fitly one pounds to the yard, or something more than three hundred pounds each. These are said lobe the first rails ever made with anthracite iron in that or any other country, and are, we believe, superior to any Unit have ever been imported. Tiif. (loon Wivk. By Dr. Fcu.F.n. She com. uimdeth her husband in any equal matter, by constant obeying him. She never crosnoth her husband in the spring-tide of his anger, but st lys till it he ebhing-water. Surely, men, contrary to iron, are worse to be wrought upon when they are hot. Her clothes are rather comely than costly, and she makes plain cloth to Ik velvet by her handsome wearing it. Her husband's secrets she will not divulge: especially she is c ircful to conceal his infirmities. In her husband's absence, she is wife and deputy husband, which makes her double the files of her diligence. At his return he finds alt things so welt, that he wonders to see himself at home yvhen lie was abroad. Her children, though many in number, are none in noise, steering them with h look whither she listeth. The heaviest work of her servants she makcth light, hv orderly and seasonably enjoining it. In her husband s sickness she feels more grief than stie shows. Nfw Rom is GlTtantN College.
