This would be about the 1,200 th part of the thickness of common printing paperx . The operation re, quires.seme little care and skill, but its suc cess is owing to the extreme tenacity of gold. Its ductility is so greatthat itis said a pound of gold may be drawn into a wire that would reach aroandt:the globe- ' silver. wire, coated with the tttinnest wash of gold, may, be drawn - out:- to" 'an" - indefinite extent • ,without brsoking ,the , coating so much that a defect could be discovered, even with alideiOscOpe.'The gold which. is , used for ;beating is very slightly alloyed with silver and copper, un less the leaf into he ti,Xpcised to the weather, when puke gold is used. It, is, first melted _into an ingot, long and narrow which, on being copied, is- passed through .polished steel rollers, until it is reduced to a narrow -I•;,,l'han,'abont one 800th of an back in thick ness?. It then passes into the hands of 'tte beater. his tt.79ls consist of three or foul - haminers; varying _from aight'l6 six.teen , pounds in weight, and seyeral hundred pieces of what is called golOheaters' skin, a , very thin but extremely rtleinbiune, ;node front the "intestines of the : 1 - I L - • This '-'Alt.truhrane or vellum has to be pr . :.‘hare,d - with great care, and is very costly, a 1 -e book of a hundred. and fifty leaves, about v• • ;- cbes, square, costing not less than war -, cold, and sometimes more. fifty dollars 1.- into pieces of an inch The gold ribbon is _eplaced between'. square, and 150' of these a,- Lilternately, as many sheets of the vellum, • when the , beitter lays on with- his• hew.last hammer, beating the • L pile about an • hod?, first with one hand, then with another, shifting the hammer without any pause, and very deftly turning the book over, or from side -to side, between the blows. By this time the pieces of gold will have ex panded to the size of the vellum,When they are taken out and each one is cut again into four. They are again placed between sheets of vellum, thus making a pile of 600 out of the original pieces. which are belabored for .another, hour or more with a' hammer of less weight than the first. The faces of all the hammers are slightly convex, whic.th causes'the gold to - unread. When this beating fg c2mpleted, the leaves of gold are again subdivided by four, making 2,400 in all, and are Olt into three parcels of SOO each, the gold alternating with the vellum, as before, and each parcel is subjected to another beating, more care fully administered, on account of the ex treme thinness of the metal: - The hammers decrease in weight as the process goes on, each successive beating requiring a lighter hammer than the one before. The whole beating lasts for five or six houra, at - the close of which the edges of the leaves;which are quite uneven, are cut with a sharp reed, as the gold adheres to a metal knife, and the leaf, ready for use, is placed in the books in which it is sold,- each leaf of gold being about three inches square, and twenty-five making a book.. In the process of beating, the leaves of golcla.re sometimes Unequally drawn out;but .as the beating continues they become uniform in thickness. They are very seldom torn or cracked, so great _is, the tenacity of the. gold;' but- even if. they Should be, the: con tinued beating welds the edges together, so that it is rare-to find a broken leaf among the thousands that comefrorn a 'single ingot of gold. The vellum is kept perfectly dry, as the slightest moisture would cause the gold to? be perforated with fine holes,greatly diminishing .its value. This condition of ' the leaf is technically 'termed holloW; or sieve -like, and it is sometimes quite pul verized, when the vellum is damp. Each sheet of vellum has also to be rubbed with powdered tale, or gypsum, between the poundings, to preVent the. geld framinifier ing to it. From first to last, much care is required, while it, is in reality a work of great simplicity,. :demanding,' no , great amount of skill. • The result df the Operation almost surpasses belief, and even those who are in the habit of using the leaf can scarcely comprehend the idea of the extreme degree to which it, is drown out. Quite a curious result'Oftheoperaticin is, that when the gold' leaf has reached the 150,000 th of an inch in thickness, it becomes translucent, pure gold admitting green rays of light to pass through,'-and ,that. which, is alloyed with silver tratismitting pale violet rays. - Gold,heating ismet a Modern tnyention, by any means. 'lt is referred to by many ancient writers, .and Pliny „speaks of an ounce of geld' being 'spread - out - tio - as to make 750 leaves, each one of which was four fingers square, being_lalinbSE; three tim .i the thickness of our gold leaf, 'or na. e than 100,000 to the inch in thickness. Egyptian mummy cases and papyrus • -e -decorated with golddeal,..showing • that t e art was practiced at a very „early period; and evidences of its ancient existence :are found in other - countries: "OVerlaid with gold" is an expression frequently, used in Holy Writ., Geld foil, such, as is used'' by demists in - tilling teeth, is gold - `leaf-as it comes from the first beating, and is some twelve times the thicknessof what is known as gold leaf. Hitherto the work has been done almost altogether by hand, but machinery has been, used to some extent, and with success, and doubtless ere long it wia, as in other mechanical:arts, supersede , manual labor.—.N. .Y. Journal of .Commerre. Artemis Ward In a London Court. fFiyicatice Iccdon Times, December 7 - HOTTEN V. WARD—"ARTEIMS WARD IN CHANCERY," This was a motion to restrain the pubh. cation, by Messrs. Ward, Lock and Tyler, of Fleet street, of a work-called_"Artemus Ward (His Travels) among the Mormons," on the ground of copyright in the plaintiffs. The case made by the bill was that the book in questaon was the joint production of "Artemus Ward" and the plaintiff, E. P. Hingston, and resulted from an expedi tion made by them in October, 1863, to Cali fornia and Oregon, and also to Great Salt Lake City: forilie purpose -of studying the gospel according, to Joseph Smith and the peguliar people living under that- dispensti tion. An agreement was made betw - een them that Artemus.,-Ward,"" otherwise known as Charles F. Brown, a citizen of the "United Stated' should be entitled to 'the copyright of the book in America, and that 'Hangston, who is a British subject, should publish the book for his • oval benefit, in F.ngland. Hingston made his arrangements w i t h th e plaintiff, John Camden Houton, the publisher and qibookseller of Picca dilly, and on the 16th of Septem ber last was ,publislatid "Arternus Ward o_Ffis Travels among aie Mormons,'_'edited by E.

Africans. All this takes place in a population de-` rived from allparts of them/odd—where the Anglo-Saxon element is predomin ant so far as power and goverhment are concerned. Civilly, the colored men have precisely equal rights and privileges with all; socially,they are riot-considered equal. No - Englith Colonists'ever regard the natives aShaV,ing the highest right o social equality with them selves.

It is idle to say that there is no law against a colored man laying brick or .planitig, boardi; when the fact'stancls out that if one were to be .engaged for suchwork•at any build ing or in any shop, - all the white hands would instantly cease work.- With these opportunities of labor cut, off, it is,only wonderful that the blacks - should do as well as they have done. • _ -L.
