Similar ec- currenees frequently impedsd the labors of tss wofkmen, until al length. in February, ls4i, the rods suddenly descended several yards and iu the course of few hours the water rose to the surface and discharged itself at the rate of GOO 900 yailons per hour.

Eossnth's Letter to Lord Palm.rston.

 !" l, the governor of unhappy Hungary, after having, believe, as citizen ana honest man, full hiied to the last, my duties to my county had no choice left me between the repose of the grave and the inexpressible anguish of expstriation.
 Many of my brsthren in misfortune had Prece- ded me on the Turkish territory. followed thither in the hope that should be permitted to pass to England, and there. under the protection of the English PeoPle-a protection never yet deuied--al- lowed to repose for while my weary head on tine hospi,able shorc of your happy island.
 We received the assurance Chat we were welcome guests, and should enjoy the full protection of his majesty, who would rather sacrifice 50 .000 msn of his own subjects than allow one hair of our heads to be injured
 It was upon the assurance that we passd into the Turkish territory; aud according to the generous assurance, We were tended on our journey, and re- ceived in Widen the Sultan's guests"
 In relation to the suggestion of the Sutton, of his inability to protect them unless they abiure tine
 faith of their forefathers, and embrace the Mahome- | dan. he says:
 "Words fail me to qualify these astonishing sug gestions. such as never have been made yet to the fallen chief of generous nation. and could hardly have been expected in the nineteenth century 1 My answer does not admit of hesitation Be- 1 tween death and shame the choice can be neither dubious difficult Governor of Hungary, and ] c'NSru 'o piaCo oy thc oi iC, | O0,0O0 of my countrymen, know what owe 10 the honor of my country, even in exile.

 'it Is our painful duty to record to-day an event wholly unparalleled in peaceful annals.

Assayiag Netals.--Thc assaying is the most cu- rious and scientific of all the business in the mint
 The meliers take the gold dust melt 1t, and cast it into bar, when it Is weighed accurately. aud a piece is cut off for the assayer He takes it. melts i with twice it's weight of silver. and several times it's weight of lead. 1t is melted in small cups made of bone ashes, which absorb all the lead a large part of the silver is extracted by another process
 and the sample is then rolled ont to a thin shaving
 coiled up, and put in sort of glass vial called matrass, with some nitric acid. The mattresses are put in furnace, and the acid Is boiled some time, poured oil. a new supply put in, and boile again. This is done several times, til tine acid has all the silver and other mineral substances leaving the sample of pure gold. The sample is then weighed, and, by the difference between the weight before assayng and after, the trne value is found
 All the silver and above five pennyweighIs for each lot, is paid for by the mint at it's true value. The gold after it has been assayed. is melted, re- fined, aud being mixed with it's due proportion O: alloy, is drawn iRto long strip (not unikeau iron hoop for cask,) the round pieces cut out with a sort of punch, each piece weighed and brought to the right size, aud pat into stamping press, whence Il comes forth perfect coin.-Sei .lmrr.
