have been made from stores at 500, but are un-

The history Of the great diamond which at
present adorns the Imperial Crown of Rus
STA, as related by Duten, in his history of
precious stones, is rather singular This
diamond, which weighs 779 carats, and is
the largest known, once formed one of the
eyes of the great idol of the Temple Of Bra
ma, at ScherIngham. At the time the
French had station in india French pri-
NdNV oDlulCI uSsCIlCu HUM lC-
paired TO the temple, and professed himself
convert TO the religion ofBrama. He was
soon made a Brabmin-a priest of the lower
clasS-and admitted to ofliciate in the interi
or of the sacred edifice. He there fell in
love with the beautiful diamond eyes Of the
divinity, and found means 10 pick out one,
with which he fled. He threw off his dress
as priest and as he travelled in disguise he
was not traced. He got TO Trichanapeuty,
from thence to Gondelour, and arrived safely
at Madras, where he sold the jewel to the
captain ola vessel for so 900 livers, or francs.
This captain resold ii to Jew for 300 900,
liyers, or a sum of that amount. The Jew
SOLD III, doubtless od~"'>t e. onnusly, 10 Greek
merchant The latter sold it at last to the
Empress Catharine of Russia, for no less
sum than $3.50, 900 livers, and an annuity of
100 900 livers. This diamond is of flat
oval shape about the size of large pig
cons egg, and is of a fine water. Accord
ing 10 the rule laid down for computing the
value of diamonds, Catharine obtained this
diamond ga bargain" She displayed it un
der the Eagle which surmounted the scep
ire.

Of time.
He promised reform.-Yet inv hat does it
appear? Are the morals of office holders
better under his administration than they
were under the last and have we conse-
quently more virtue in the government?
Need we point out the vile characters, by
name, whom Gen. jackson has raised 10
consequence in this land, TO show that it is
otherwise? Then where is the reform We
know he has displaced from Office those who
differed in opinion from him TO an enormous
eXtent--thus bringing Executive patronage
in conflict with the freedom of elections, and
making The offices of government as il were,
fthe spoils of victory" He has appointed
more members of Congress to Office than any
had inscribed this on his banner as one Of
the reforms which he would accomplish
He has made the conductors of public
presses tavorite class in the cOnferment
of of1ices-thus doing more in his short
term TO corrupt the fountains of public in
telligence than had been done since the COM
mencement Of the government. Moreover
it appears that he has tried TO usurp con troll
over the United States Bank for political
purposes which an account will be found
in another column.
But it is unnecessary to mention here all
the objections which exist TO his reelection
There are others almost as important as any
we have noticed. Yet, we doubt whether
the game would be worth the candIe.''

Remind thee of his lonely lot,
Who loved thee in life's purer hours
When hearts and hopes were hallowed

Ere pleasure broke the Tyre she brought
Then oh when shivered all the strings,
Forget me not-iorget me not
We met, ere yet the world had come
To wither up the springs of truth,
Amid the holy joys of home,
And in the first warm blush OF youth;
We parted, as they never part
Whose tears are doomed to he forgot;
Oh ! by that agony of heart,
Forget me not-forget me not

Thy soul its idol melt away,

A meeting was held at Hanover Court
house on the 18th of June. for the pur-
pose OF making arrangements to invite
HENRY CLAY TO an entertainment at the
place of his nativity. 1t appears that
party feeling is to be laid aside on this
occasion. The following resolutions
show the spirit of the meeting:
RESOLVED, That among the distinguish
ed men produced by the U. States, few,
if any, have been more profoundly gift
ed with the rarest attainments in human
knowledge, or more conspicuously emf
nent in the estimation Of his countrymen,
than HENRY CLAY.
Resolved, That his reputation as an
able statesman, and great advocate of
liberty and liberal principles among men,
is not bounded by the confines of his
own country, but is also known and ad.'
mired throughout the greater part of the
civilized world.
ResOlred, That Henry Clay, although
a resident of another State, is native
born citizen of the county of Hanover,
IN the state OF Virginia.
ReSOlued, That his fellow citizens and
fellow countrymen ofthe county of Han
over, in the State of Virginia, without
reference to party or politics, are desir-
Gus Of paying some signal respect to Hen
ry Clay, as distinguished native of
their ancient county.

those Of the month Of April, while the ex-

be still more reduced when the second track
shall be finished as far as Frederick, which
will be within short period.-There can
