Prooess of c, lining Gold.

4 United States Mint has been completed in
san Francisco, and probably ere this time in
active operation, coming down daily vast treas
ures OF golden ore. 1t was intended that it
should be prepared to coin thirty millions Of dol
lars yearly. The following description of the
system which is about to be established there
will afford general idea of the ordinary process
of coming gold
The metal, after being received in the deposite
room, is carefully weighed and receipt given.
Ench deposit is then melted separately in the
melting room, and moulded into bars. These
bars next pass through the hands of the assayer,
who with chiscl chips II small fragment from
each one Ench chip is then rolled into ribbon,
and filed down until it weighs exactly ten grains.
tits then melted in little cup made of calcined
&G.s are al Dried by the porous material of the
cup, or carried off by oxidation. The gold is
then boiled in nitric acid. which dissolyes the sill
yer which it contains and leaves the gold pure
1t is then weighed and the amount which it has
lost gives the exact proportion of impurity in the
original bar, anda certificate OF the amount of
COIN due the depositor Is made out accordingly
After being nssaycd, the bars are melted with
eertnn proportion of silver, and being poured
into dilution of nitric acid and water, assume n
graduated form. In this state. the gold is
thoroughly boiled in nitric acid, and rendered
perfectly free from silver any other baser me-
tails which may happen TO cling to it. tits next
melted with one ninth its weight of copper, and
thus alleged, Is run into bars and delivered to the
conner for coinage. The bars are rolled out in a
rolling mill until nearly as thin rs the coin which
is 10 hc made from them, BY process of an
healing, they rendered sufficiently duetile to
be drawn through longitudinal orGce in piece
of steel thus reducing the whole to a regular
width and thickness. a cutting machine next
punches small round pieces from the bar. about
the size OF the coin. These pieces are weighed
separately by the adiusters,' and if too heavy
are filed down-if too light they remelted
The pieces which have been n justed are run
through a milling machine, which congresses
them to their proper diameter and raises the
edge. Two hundred and fifty are milled in a
minute by the machine. They are then again
soitenedby aprocess of annealing, and after y
thorough cleaning are placed in a tube connect
ing with the stamping instrument and are taken
thench one at IA time by the machinery, and
stamped between the dies. They are now
finished, and being thrown into box, are
delivered to the Treasurer for circulation
The machinery, of course, for all these pro-
cesses' must be Of the incest kind. The weigh
ing scales alone, in the deposit room of the Cali
forno Mint, cost $1,000.

More Rioting-Seuerai Men Shot-Mititary or
dered mt

New YORK June | There was streetpreach-
ing again at Brooklyn to day, and several riots.
The Angel Gabriel held forth on the corner OF
IIoyt and Atlantic streets. All was quiet until the
close when u disturbance commenced. Two or
three lrishmen were arrested by the police.and a
rescue attempted, during which they were badly
beaten by & officers
Later in the afternoon another disturbance oe-
CURED at the corner of Hicks and Atlantic streets
Several shots were fired, supposed by the police.
Two or three are said to be severely wounded.
A strong force of extra police are out and the
fourteenth regiment are under arms at the City
Hall.
In this city there has been no disturbance as
yet. Mayor Westeryelt has made ample arrange
ments to quel any riot,an extra police force hay
ing been appointed, and regiment of National
Guards held in readiness, with six rounds OF ball
cartridges
NEW York, June IL, IL p. M.-Ihere are a
number of wild reports here about the riots at
Brooklyn, but nothing that is reliable.

Invaaion Al S.. Petersburg


Mr. Frederick Bucknall,a son Of Mr. ". Buck.
nall. of the late eminent Bristol firm Of Bueknall
and Spark. has Just returned from It. refers
burg where he had been for five years occupying
a responsible position in connection with one OF
the largest mercantile firms there, and from the
accounts which Mr.. Bueknall brings with Inn 1t
Is evident that in high circles. the posi- jlty OF
an attack by the combined forces on the capital
Of Russia itself is seriously entertained. Amongst
the masses Of the city supersitions confidence
in the successful issue of the generally pre-
walls. This is founded ON the widely spread be
liel that the is religious one, undertaken,
for religious objects; and it leads to a confidence
that, God being with the Emperor.he must pre-
vail The Imperial Muscoyite himself does not
appear to be ~ well at ease 1t Is understood
that the commandant of the important fortress at
Cronstadt has informed him that, although OF
great strength, it Is not mpregnable.
The Emperor Nicholas is obviously very anx-
ious ON the matter. for he goes himself to Cron-
stadt twice, and sometimes three times week
aud all conceivable efforts are being employed to
strengthen it as far as possible. Meanwhile the
imperial city is being crowded with troops, which
are continually pouring in in large masses. The
barracks being all crowded, these are quartered
ON the inhabitants TO their very evident and great
annoyance. Mr. Bucknall saw body Of ,50O
Cossacks marching towards the capital, which Is
of itself n significant mark of the feeling OF the
government, for the troops of that class are rare
ly fever employedin the city. Many OF the
nobility and leading families are quitting Their
town residences and retiring INTO the interior.
carrying with them their plates. jewels, and por-
table property of value, and the English, French
and other foreign residents were quitting in
such numbers that Mr.. Bucknal had to wait for
six weeks before he could get place by the con
yeyanee which runs twice week from ST Peters
burr to Tukun. As IA further evidence of the
apprehension felt touching an invasion OF the
capital. Mr. Bucknall noticed that some houses
on the side of the Neva were being pulled down
and defences erected opposite the main part OF
St Petersburg. London Dispatch.
