IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

THE pIAMosD.--Itis is said that Professor oIi-
liman, whose scientific researches have coh'fi-
buted so largely to the reputation OF our coun'
trv. has made most important discovery
which will form an era in science, and place
his name upon the same roll with that OF Frank,
lin. 1t has long been known that the diamond
is composed of carbon. in its pure state; but
althoug gh diamonds could be converted into car.
bon, vet none have ever been able to convert
carbon into diamond, until the recent expert
ment of Professor Silliman. 1t appears, by the
last number of his journal of Science, that ~
the power of Philosophical instrument called
the defagrator, invented by Professor Hare, oil
Philadelphia, charcoal, plumbago and anthraolte
have been fused, and transmitted into aiamohdS!
This is truly most important discovery, and
one of immense consequence to the character
of our county.---tS. r. Post.

FOREIGN REVIEW AND SUMMARY

In Europe, we behold two gallant neop,e
contending for their national existence, against
the most arbitrary aggression on the one hand.
and most ruthless and vindictive tyranny on
the other. The Greeks, in the east, have
awakened from the slumber of nearly four CEN
turtles OF abject slavery, and asserted their
claims to freedom and independence, with an
energy and valour worthy of the descendants
Of the heroes OF Marathon and Thermopyae.---
In desperate and sanguinary struggle of three
years they lave fought single handed, and re,

EARLY RISlNG.-The difference between
rising at sir and rising at eight, in the course
of 40 years, supposing personto go to bed at
the same time he otherwise would, amounts to
10000 hours, or three years, 12l days, and 10
hours-which will afford eight hours a day for
exactly ten years--which is in fact the same as
if ten years were added TO the period of our
lives, in which we might command eight hours
every day for the cultivation of our minds and
the despatch Of business. This Is a result of
early rising, which, besides, that it contributes
so much to our general health, is deserving
of serious consideration.

MEMonIALE DE SAINT HELENE"

This is the title which Baron Las Gases has givs
en- to his Journal of his residence with the Emperor
Napoleon, Of which two volumes have appeared,
comprising however, only few months of .Napo-
teon'S captivity. He intends to continue the work
at short interyals-which was in its commencement
delayed by the detention of his papers, recently
stored to him. Interesting as the account of
DIR. O.HedrG, and grateful to every intelligent mind
as must be any apparently authentic statement of
the conduct Of the illustrous prisoner who was en-
chained by the world he had subdued, the narrative
of Las Cases, from his character, his requirements,
his facilities Of access Bonaparte, (who could
speak English, until he taught it to him) is we'll cal
culated to excite the most eager curiosity, and will
certainly reward the most attentive perusaL

emigrated early in the revolution to England He
arrived in London, with only seven louis in his
Ipocket. He there awaited himself Of his talents and
education, TO procure a subsistence. Under the
Ifsigned name OF LIE Sage, he complied and compo-
sed that OF hsIorica genealogical and geo.
lgrapbical learning, so valuable TO statesmen and
scholars, and affording such happy facilities to the
acquisition of knowledge. He lett London soon af-
tier the Treaty oil AMIGOS, when Bonaparte recalled
Ithe emigrant nobility, and making himself known
to the Emperor became one OF his Council OF State.
Here his respect for the genius, the knowledge, and
the devotion Of Bonaparte to France, which he had
daily occasion to observe, attached him so much TO
MS person. tat on Tic approach VI LoHtS ne rctlfSu
! from Paris; and although any time he might
have regained his station at Court, he remained in
Iobscurity. His attachment dsintercsted, be-
cause 1t not given TO mortals to dream Of the
, miraculous return Of Napoleon.
! His restoration to the throne reunited the con-
queror of the world, with its chronologist and its
: lgeograpler And ST. Helena was honored at once
'lby the abode of these illustrious friends.
Such is brief outline OF the author of the " .lfe-
moriale de Saint Hslene,' work, which cannot
fail to impress mankind with and uncommon
sentiments towards that powerful being, who, if we
look at the terror which he inspired The earth
would scarcely be deemed to possess a redeemng
virtue. BOnaparte in the narrative before US, APP

ions have undergone an almost entire revolutions as
to him who forms the subject Of this book. We
have no difficulty in declaring that VIC regard aim
as greater man than we did before, and certainiys
tar better one, individual especially 10 the
era domestic relations of husband, father and broth
er. 1t is not without sensation of sorrow and
gret, that We feel ourselves compelled by respecs
tor truth and justice add, that wherever this book
is read and believed it will we fear, fix an indeii-
bic stain on the honor and magnanmity of the Brit
ish nation. One thing is certain, that neither the
ministers who advised, nor their instrument, Sir
Hudson Lowe, who superintendent the treatment Of
their unfortunate prisoner, TO which he eventually
fell victim, have been called any account either
before the House oil Commons nor before the people
by means of the press. Has no, this arisen from
that national pride, that alike pervades the bosom Of
every Englishman whether he ranks on the side Of
the ministry or Of the opposition But until sorne-
thing like this is done, how can England expect to
blot out the stain, that defaces her sscu,cheon.
