Cutting and Polishing Diamonds.

The art Of cutting and polishing dia-
monds is supposed to have originated in
Asia at very early period, but was first
introduced into Europe by Louis Ber-
quen, of Bruges, about the middle of the
fifteenth century. lie accidentally dis.
covered that rubbing two diamonds to-
gether caused an abrasion Of their sur
faces, and from this soon deduced the
art as it is now practised. The process
of polishing and cutting, as I observed
in Amsterdam, is very slow and tedious,
nearly every part of it, from the delicacy
and cxactness required, needing to be
done by hand. The preparation of a sin
gle demands two months of continuous
labor; and the famous Pitt or Regent
diamond underwent two years of con-
slant manipulation before it was COM
plete. In the mills one diamond is en-
ployed upon another, each being cement
ed into the ends of a handle, and a
model of lead being taken of the gem to
be cut, which determines the faces. The
stones are then rubbed together with a
strong pressure, and held over a metal
box with q double bottom, the upper
bottom being perforated with small holes,
through which the diamond dust falls.
The dust is of such value that it is very
carefully collected, and, after mixture
with vegetable oil, 10 used for polishing
the gem upon steel or cast-iron plate,
which is made to revolve rapidly, some
times by steam, as l have said, but gen.
orally by means of q treble. The dia.
mond powder is also used for cutting.
1t is placed upon steel wire or saw, and
this, drawn swiftly backward and for
ward, makes the required incision. When
a large piece of the stone is to be remov-
ed, it is occasionally done with a fine
chisel and hammer but this so increases
the danger of breaking or destroying the
gem, that it is rarely resorted to. No
kind of work can be nicer or more diff
cult, for the workman must thoroughly
the character and popularity
of diamonds, and must have an absolute
knowledge Of the cleavage planes before
he can be trusted with their manipula-

|, in the portals of great British East
India Empire, the very magnitude Of
which is astounding. Think of it, over
200, 600 of people, native and British
in the Indian Government proper, under
the British flag Satiated with the very
vastness of dominion here, the British
Crown declines more land, and all the
population it wants-nay, more, too, and
refuses, actually, to be bothered with yet
more Think Of the revenues and ex.
penditures of this British Indian Empire,
$3.50, 100000 Of our money, incoming
and outgoing, each year. Think of its
immense army, 100000 in all, of whom
10000 are European soldiers, the others,
Indians, under British officers, all !
Think of q Christian Government over
100000 of Hindoos, 25,00O,000 of
Mussulmans, 100000 of Aboriginal
Nothingurians, 100000 of Buddhists;
&c, &c. What medley of humanity
to rule What mixture of laws, as well
as of creeds, and of tongues, and Ian
guages There are sixteen, or more,
languages that British ruler ought to
learn What a vast trade, some $780,.
100000 of imports, and over $500, O00,-
900 of exports The little England at
