Iueorrant ro Mexican ,Coumerce.—We hnve heen permitted to moke the following extract from s privnte letter received in this city from the well known House of Kebe, Van der Linden & Co., of Colima, Mexico, and dsted June 21, 1865: “Weare happy to state, that in necordance with the sense of equity prevailiug in the Imperial counsels, justice has heen meted out to us, hy a decree of May 30th, nullifying the second article of restrictions in the francbises granted to commerce, and extending to the ports on the Pacific side the advantages hitherto enjoyed hy those of the Atlantic.” By reference to our issue of May 20th, a fall detail will he fonnd of the grievance alluded to in the ahove extract. The justice which has now heen accorded hy the Imperisl Government to the Mexican Pacific ports, will douhtless he fully appreciated hy all persons holding commercial intercourse with that neighboring people. Gry. Rosrorans arrived in thia city, the past week, in the Constitution: He was met at the hoat hy several U.S. Army officers and escorted to the Occideatal, where he was serenaded on Thursday evening. General Rosecrans, early in the wor, struck an enthusiastic chord in the public mind; and slthough he has of late beea hut little before the public, he never has and never will cease to command the admiration of the country of his adoption for his heroic and patriotic services. A ‘pounp of Sea Island cotton has heen spnn into a thread fifty-six miles long. FROM THE OIL REGIONS. Boring operations in various parts of the State are still being vigorously prosecuted. Severnl of the Eastern companies organized nt the beginning of the year for the development of claiins in Santo Barhara and San Luis Obispo counties, are niready vigorously nt work. ‘lhe Adsms company have removed the obstruction from their well, and we presume will soon be able to demonstratoits pumping eapacity. Messrs. Stranahan & Co. have commenced boring in Msrsh canou, to the southeast of Monnt Dinblo, with every prospect of success. We have notbing Inter from the Santa Clara wells than that given by onr correspondent last week from that region. From Colusa eounty, we hesr that the Rowe compaay are down ahout 150 fect, with eacouraging indications; although they have not yet reached any considerahle flow of oil. There are now four, if not five companies, boring for oil in this county. The Sun thinke it quite certnin that the oil region of that county will he thorouglily prospected during the present season. ss The most ecoursging intelligence, thus far, is from Humboldt county. The well of tbe Union company, on Mattole creek, upon which, as we hove already stated, work wns suspended several weeks since, seems to he hound to develop itself in spite of the wishes of its proprietors, who have deelined to go any deeper until proper roads can he opened for getting the oil to market, and harrels and tanks prepsred for storing it aa it comes from the well. When work was suspeaded on this well, there were sixty feet of oilin it. Since thst time it has heen gradunlly rising, until at Inst sccounts it hsd risen to the top of the well, which is down 145 feet. It is said the company .intend to send down some fifty harrels of oil on the next trip of the steamer Del Norte. A gentleman who nrrived in this city hy the Del Norte, on Thursday, states that another company—name not given—are horing at a point about six miles from the Union, and struck oil at fifty feet. Colonel Hopkins brought samples of oil from this last well to this city. Ahout fifteen companies are now at work in the Mattole and Bear River districts, and it is tbe general helief that shipments of oil will be made ia quantities from that section within the next two months. Senator Srrwarr arrived in this city oa Thursday evening hy the Sacramento boat. He was inet at the steamer by the committee appointed to receive him, and escorted to the Cosmopolitan, where he was cordially weleomed hy a host of friends. About twelve o'clock he wus serenaded hy Willis’ Coacert Band. The exertions of Seaator Stewart in hehalf of the mining interests of the Pacific coast entitle him to the most peculiar consideration of all residents in or west of the Rocky mountains. Nevada may claim him as her Senator, par ex. cellence ; but California and Oregon, and the neighhoring Territories as well, will unite in doing honor to one who has done more than any . other man in Washington to advance and keep faithful watch over the general interests of the entire Pacific coast cent or three cents per hour. A PETROLEUM OOOKING STOVE, A new nnd valanble iaveution is now being exhibited, und is also for ssle, at Hoogs & Madison’s Real Estnte Agency, 316 Moutgomery street. ‘lhis inventiou is called the * Petroleum Cooking Stove,” and is the inventiou of 0. F. Morrel, of Chelsea, Mass. The stove requires no cliimtiey or pipe, occupies nhout as much space as an ordinary sewing machine, und is fully ns ornumental and veat in its constructiou as oue of those useful mochines without a case. The stove is constructed with one or two burners, is ns ssfe in its use ag an ordiunry wood cooking stove. The substance used for fuel is naptha, the least expensive ol the moterinls obtained in the distillotion of crude petroleum. Yhe naptha is placed ina reservoir attached to tbe stove and ahout three feet above it,and is so connected with the hurner as to be vsporized as it comes in contact with the ntmosphere iu which it is hurned. Two quarts of nuptha will keep up a strong cooking fire, sufficient for roasting a turkey, for from ten to twelve hours. Jour pies cnn he haked at oae time with this hest, and ss rapidly snd well asin the best nrrsnged brick oven, with no dsnger of burning. The fire can he regulated so as to burn ut a cost of one A loaf of bresd can be hsked, or stenks cooked for six-meu, at a cost of less than one cent for fuel; a flatiron can be heated and kept hot at a cost of three cents per hour, nnd aeither operation will throw ss much heat into the room, ns the hurning of an ordinary kerosene Inmp. The fire may be kindled and the cven hen‘ed in less than five miuntes. To our mind this mode of hurning noptha could he most advaatageously spplied for genersl heating purposes, and we should think would be especislly voluable for warming rooms in this city. Such an apparstus need not take ap any more rooni than an astral lamp, snd, in fnct might be employed for hoth heating and lighting. ‘The fact that it utilizes a petroleum produet, which is aow of but little value, is another interesting considerntion well deserving of attention. Messrs. Bullard & Battles have purchased tke pateat right for this iuvention. They may be seen during business hours at the office of Hoogs & Madison, as ahove, where the stove can be examined and studied and seen in actual practice. Prrsonan.—We understand that Dr. Jackson started on Thursday last, in compauy with Mr. Me sder, on a visit to the Uaion mine at Copperopolis. The Doctor will also tske a look at the mines generally of that important sectiou, aad proceed theace to the Big Trees of Calaveras county. He takes iustruments with which to measnre their altitudes, with the view of heing able to give the ssme on tis own knowledge. We hope to be ahle to puhlish some extracts from his note book on his return. To Corresponpents.—We will eadeayor to answer the “ query” of our Grass Valley correspondent next week ; “ McH.,” from Austin, will receive attention in our next. The letter from Capt. Paul wss received too late for insertion in the present issne. = THE APPROACHING EXHIBITION. Work hss eommeneed nnd the Pavilion is now open and the committee rendy to receive machinery, ete., for exhibition. A look into the Pavilion yesterday, revealed carpenters busy in completing the necessary prepsration for the reeeipt of articles nnd machinery. Several large picces of mschinery have alrendy been placed in the huildiug, nnd workmen are engaged ia putting up the central fountain, finishing off the “ Old Folk’s Kitchen,” the “ Regtaurant,” ete. We took a lovk nt the large old fire plnce fitting up for the former, and coneluded the executive committee intended to send for a section of one of the big trees from Calsveras for a backlog. That kitchen will he quite a feature of the exhihitioa. No timo should be lost hy those who intend to exhibit in moking their preparntions. Gardner Elliott, Esq., formerly nn executive officer of the Mechnnics’ Institute, hss heen chosen as Geueral Superintendent cf thé Fir. Let oll hear in mind thnt the Fsir opens on the tenth-of August, one weck from Thursday next. We hope every friend of industry will he found promptly on hand, showiag an interest ia the graudest representation of California's wonderful prosperity aud progress ever yet sttempted. The committee hsye received undoubted assurances thst the mag‘aitude of the displsy this year must for exceed that of all former exhihitions. One reason of this is, douhtless, the fnet that nggtuer such fair may uot be held for years. Our arrsngements for the ee of the Daity Fair Press are far superior to those of last year. We lave secured an extra quality of psper for nse, and shall mske n handsome sheet, snd a most complete record of the Fsir. Fvory intelligent citizen of this const who makes a visit of one week to the Foir, will ever liave oceasion to remember it as time sud money well spent. To tat Press.—Our hrethren of the interior press will confer a good thing npon themselves, their readers, and the interests of this coast, hy reminding their patrons of the near -. approach of tho Industrial Exhihition in this city, and requesting them to forward articles for exhihition, and to he present to reap the benefit to he derived from intercourse with one aaother in comparing notes npon such an ocension. Frox Mexrco.—A private letter hy the John L. Stephens, from Mazatlan, states that just as that stesmer sailed the French comwander arrived from Durango, from which city he had been driven hy the Juraists, and his command completely routed after a desperate engagement. The Mexican foroes were commaaded by Caravajal. We learn from the Gold Hill News that Mr. W. D. Farrand, the idventor of the oscillating amalgamator, which hears his name, is the lessee and superintendeat of the Ogden mill, located in the esst cafon, helow Virginia City. This millruns eighteen stamps, and is said to he doing a good husiness. It is supplied with rock from the Yellow Jacket mine. “Muver,” whose communication appesred ia our last issue, is requested to csll at this . office or send his address.
