A Pan FOR DRY CRusHING.-Mr. Faucher
has applied, through the agency connected
with this Office, for letters patent for min
ing pan of his invention, which is designed
to grind the quartz dry. This pan is con-
structed so as to work very much upon the
principle of the ordinary milestone the
upper and lower portions corresponding to
the upper and neither mill-stones) are cast
very heavy. Strips of wrought iron are
placed into the mould before casting, so as to
be imbedded into the face of the grinding sur
face. The quartz is fed to the machine after
being reduced by previous stamping to about
the size of peas. The two grinding surfaces
are held to their places By set screws above.
and below. The machine is so constructed
as to allow of the outer surfaces Of both the
upper and lower grinding plates to be con-
stantly submerged in constantly changing
bath of cold water, to prevent the plates from
becoming over-heated when in operation.
Mr.. Faucher claims that he can reduce rock
TO the desired fneness more effectively, and
with less cost, with this machine, than by any
other machine in use, either wet or dry, and
also preserve the universally acknowledged
advantages Of the dry process. Mining

The new Banking House about to be es.
tablished in this city gives assurance of an
| abundance of capital, and our mercantile
community have every reason to congratulate
themselves upon the increased facilities thus
afforded for the transaction of business.
The present Banking firm Of Donohoe,
Ralston & Co. will be dissolved on the lst of
July, prox., but not only is no capital to be
withdrawn from the service Of the public, but
a large amount hitherto otherwise employed
will be added thereto. The retiring partners,
MessrS. Jos. A. Donohoe and Eugene Kelly,
with handsome cash means, will Immediately
commence business in their new and elegant
banking house on the corner of Montgomery
and Sacramento streets, while the business
of the old firm, under the direction of the re-
manning members, Messrs. r. S. Fretz and
WIN. c. Ralston, will become merged in an
institution to be called "The Bank OF Califor-
nia," with very important enlargement OF
capital and resources, quite unrivalled on
this coast. This will be the first joint stock
company incorporated under the laws OF this
State, for the purpose of banking; and in re-
ferring to it we cannot but express our graft
fcation Upon few prominent points. First,
that it will stand upon specie basis, the
currency Of California-gold and silver; It is
10 DC no paper money oaHh' oeSohu, the
capital stock, which we understand is to be
$4,000, 900, will be actually paid up in gold;
such at least is the programme-no subter-
fuges in the shape Of Stock Notes or any
thing of less value than gold itself. Thirdly,
it will be under the conduct Of some Of our
most experienced and wealthy citizens-men
of sound heads and long purses, who have
achieved success for themselves individually,
are well known, and familiar with the bust
ness of the country, and whose connection
with the Bank is guarantee to the public,
that it will succeed and be public benefit; a
safe place of deposit, and an institution
where solvent business man with good Sc
curities, may reasonably expect accommoda-
tons in time Of need.
The business managers of the new concern
will be Messrs. D. o. Mills and VIM. C.

DRAFT DEcIs1oSs.-Mr. Solicitor Whit
ing has made an important decision concern
ing the relations which drafted man, fur
niShing substitute, sustains to the country.
He says There is no provision Of the statute
which authorizes the Provost Marshals to
discharge drafted men from the military ser
vice, receiving in lieu thereof volunteers who
are not offered as substitutes. Drafted men
who furnish acceptable substitutes are enti-
tied to no exemption other than that specially
set forth in the statutes. Such exemption
does not clear them from liability to serve in
the State militia, or to perform any other
duty which may be devolved upon them a.
citizens of State or Of the United States.

THE STRONGEST BANK IN THE WORLD.
The Bank of Genoa, which has been in exist
ence hundreds of years, has, perhaps, proved
itself the strongest institution Of the kind in
the world. 1t is remarkable fact in its
history, that its administration has always
been as permanent and Interchangeable as that
of the republic has been agitated and fuctua-
ting. No alteration ever took place IN the
mode of governing and regulating the affairs
of the bank, and two sovereigns and indie
pendent powers, at war with each other, have
been within the walls of the city, without
producing the slightest shock to the bank, or
causing it to secrete any Of its books or
treasures.
