Trial bt amat of ths gold and krlvkr ooinaqb liow rr is Don andthk, Frinciplbh or tub Opkratiojs. In I he monlli of February of each J'ear tbre li a commission appointed by the resident of the United Htates.who, In oonluno tlon v. 1th tlie olllcers of the Mint and the Com mittee on Colnnge, Weights, and Measures of the 11 on ho of Representatives, make a thorough, trial of the gold and silver coinage of the differ ent. Mints lu the country, with a view to de termine whether they come up to the govern menial standard of fineness. The, following gentlemen, appointed as Com tolsvloners by tne President: Professor Joseph Henry, Washington; Pro lessor John Torrey, New York; lion. (Samuel It. lluggles, New York; Professor J. II. Alexander, Haltimore; Professor George J. Brush, New Haven; l'rofesaor Ilobert F Rogers, Plilladol- fhia; l'rofoshor Charles M.Wetherell.Iiothlehetn, a.; William 8. Appleton, Uoston, Mass.; Pro fessor Stephen Alexander, Princeton, N. J.' and the House Committee, consisting of Hon, John A. Kassnn, of Iowa (chnlrman); Hon. Charles II. Wiuileld, of N.Y.; Hon. Thomas Williams, of Pa.; Hon. llekiuli S-i. Uiindy.of Ohio; and Hon. Henry I Dawes, of Mass., assembled at the Mint at 10 o'clock tuls morning. After or cnntzlng In conjunction with the olllecre of the Iditit, and the rending of the act of Congress In relation to the duties of. the commission, they proceeded to the business of the meeting. Out of the different pieces of gold and silver struck off at the different places of coinage, a certain number ol encu denomination are laid aside for this annual assay, and are called tho 'reserved coius." These are placed in puckuues as follows: 1. (Void coins from the Mint at Philadelphia. 1. Kilver coins from the Mine, 3. Oold coins from tho Brauch. Mint at New Orleans. 4. silver coins from tho same. 6. Gold coins from the Branca Mint at San Francisco. C. Silver coins from the same. 7. Gold coins from the Branch Mint at Char lotte. 8. Gold coins from the Branch Mint at Dah lonega. These coins were weighed, and tho number In each parcel; was recorded upon the secre tary's minutes. the operation of assaying gold. After the weighing of the several parcels of gold and silver coinage, the Commission pro ceeded to assay the coin with reference to Its deviation, it any, from the standard fineness. The general principles of this operation Is as follows: According to law the standard gold of the United States is so constituted that In 1000 parts of weight 900 shall be of pure gold and 100 of au alloy of copperand silver. The proeessof assay ing requires that the silver and copper shall be entirely separated from the gold; and to effect this I wo operations are necessary. The first Is to remove the copper. This Is done by a method called en puliation, which Is conducted In an assay furuac.o in a cupel -made of calcined tones. By adding lend aud subjecting the whole to an Intense heat, tho copper Is separntcd entirely. To separate the idlver from the gold, it is necessary to add more silver until there are three parts of silver to one of gold. Then tne alloy ol gold and silver thus formed Is rolled out into thin ribbons and boiled in nitric acid until the silver is entirely eaten out. THE TEST ASSAY, To test the accuracy of the above process, tho following method Is employed: A roll of gold, of absolute purity, which has been Kept under the seal of the Chairman of the Assay Commissioners, Is opened In their presence, and from it Is taken the weight of dot) parts. To this is added 75 of copper and 2-5 of silver; so as to form, with the gold, a weight Of 1000 parts, of the exact legal standard. This Is passed through the same process of assay as the other gold, and at the same time. After the assay is finished, it is evident that the pure gold remaining ought to weigh exactly 900. If, however, from any cause, it be found to differ from this weight, and, therefore, to require a correction, it is assumed that the same correc tion must be made in the other assays, and this la done accordingly. ASSAY OF SILVER COINAGE. The standard silver of the United States is so constituted that, of 1000 parts by weight, tfuO shall be o ipure silver aud 100 of copper. In the process caltad the humid assay, the Silver coin is first granulated, and then dis solved in nitrio acid, and to tho solution com mon salt Is added, which precipitates the silver In the form of an insoluble chloride. In the testing of silver coinage too high a degree of fineness is sometimes exhibited, owing to the fact that, at certain grades of alloy, and espe cially the standard of 900, the gradual cooling of Ingots draw the better metal to the interior, and the worst towards the exterior and the edges. Hence the fineness of pieces cut off the central part of the ingot is higher than the average fiao dess of the ingot. After the Commissioners have made a thorough examination of the different coinages, they will transmit their report, and give, in a tabular form, the different degrees of fineness of the several coins, and bow much they are above and below the standard. The gold coius are allowed a deviation of 2-lOOOths above aud below the standard, and a like deviation of 3-1000ds above and below is allowed for the silver coinage. The Weather During the Past Tex Days What It Has Honk on Our Kivkk Fronts. From the first of the present month the thermometer showed a constant Indication of a temperature above the freezing point, until yesterday. We give the following regis ter of the weather, by whieh It will be seen that only on one occasion miring, tne iirst nine days did the thermometer fall to the freezing point: Feb. 1 'hz 4 5 6 7 8 ' 9 6 P.

Towards Saturday evening, however, the weather charmed , and we tiau a heavy rain-storm, with thunder and lightning. This storm raged with fury until near mid ii I irtit. and early Sunday morning the wind changed, and the thermometer fell rapidly until it readier! anu even went oeiow me ireezing iioint. During 1 he entire day tnere was a tre- -nienuous uale blowing, wuich was so strong that pedestrians could hartllv make headway Bualnstli. lowarus ine latter part or tne even ing, however, tho wlud moderated and tne vnnther was clear and cold. During yesterday the effect of the heavy rain Storm of Saturday night became apparent In the. great ana rapid rise in tne rivers Delaware and Schuylkill. The ice had been -weakened and broken to a great extent by tue previous mild weather, and the rise in the river sent it down over the dam. The water was at least three leet above the top of the dam, and did not decrease in its volume the whole day. Tt in iiifirhlv orobable that, it It had not been for the present cold snap, the vast masses of Ice that are heaped up m the upper part of the sini.nvlltill would be carried down and sweep every tiling before H.

On the Delaware front the asoeot of things Is decidedly more pleasant, n-ifl .ivi.r Ik coinDaratively clear, and the chan nel being open, t here is a prospect that tt will be kept so in the future. Vessels that were ice t,..nA i.olnw In the Delaware oan come up, and the stoppage to business that was consequent on the ice-blockade of the channel will be done away with. Rirr nriviZED.
