conqueror of a vat Empire, in half dren, hi
full nnfform1 navina; beeii kwept' away in the
Perry during nil last hurricane on 'the! Coast of
Florida!'' The Commodore citraa a verv unatTec-
ted, plain account of hia mcceiaee in the Pacific.
He Veprent the whole country from thirty to
sixty mile inland, a 'completely lubjeeted,' and
the proprietor of the ioil especially rejoiced at
the prospect of annexation. i; He haa rio doubt of
the result ef the expedition of Col. Fremont, who
he tbinka, ia aura to catch Castro; and a toi' Pie
Pico, the Governor, he will probably come in ol
hia own accord, being one of the largest landed
proprietor, whoae ibrttioa would quadruple un
der the atripea and stare. !-.'-' :,
1. The climate of the country is represented
delicious, varying acarceJy ten degreea the whole
year round. jThere are two crop in California i
hut they are not alwayi sure. , When there ia
plenty of rain, that is, when it rain hard twice
in the year, the crops are good and yield SO and
CO fold ; when it raina hut little, the harvest ia
front twenty to twenty -five fold, and is then cal
led a failure! ' ' ' ' '-'
One of the beat justices appointed by Commo
dore Sloati ia Dr. Gilchrist, Surgeon ia the Navy,
and from hia tecarded wiadom the Californiana
may indeed cry oat, ' Daniel come to judgment

Oc another occasion, one ef the U. S. trooper
had bought n fine haraa for 25, but it waa prov-
ed that tha vender had stole him. The rende

claimed hia charger. ' 'None of my business re

been explained to me., hall a dozen times by
those who participated in the battle. One
would think it an effectual resistance, properly
measured against one body aa welt na another,
totally regardless of numbers or courage.' In
tact, no one doubts that the troops who have
taken the town could defend H pa tost a myri

Social Lire lit Matamors. The Ameri
can Flag, printed at Matamoras, has the follow
ing domestic picture " -'
' "When we first entered Matamoras, and the
eer vices of the Mexican were needed, applica
tion had to be made to their masters, who hired
them ont for from ten, fifteen to twenty do! la re.
The sums which they owed their maetere were
various, but whatever they might be, under
their own government and I a we, it would be
sufficiont to have held them in bondage through
life, and entailed like bondage upon their chil
dren the offVpring being alwaya held for the
debts of the parenta, , A debt once contracted
it waa impossible ever to repay, rN moan
were afforded them to cancel it Two or three
dollars per month waa the extent at which their
services were valued. Every thing they re
ceived from tlieir masters waa charged to their
account if aick, the loss of service end medi
eat attendance were added on. If plate, cup,
spoon, chair, table, Or any other article belong
ing to the maeter'e hoese wss broken or lost, no
Tiiatterif the master or his chilJren broke or
lost it; to the servant's indebtedness it was pla
cet:. When be or she died, the funeral expen
ses were' like wixo added to the indebtedness
and carried forward to the account of their chil
dren. " Thus were they held io endlesealevery,
unless by theft or murder they could poesces
themaelvra of sufficient money to purchase their
freedom, :tThe many, opportunities . aflurded
them to acquire money since the occupation of
Ihia city by the Americana have enabled alnvea
to cancel all their obligations to their masters,
and with few exceptions, all are now free.
Much of the ill feeling lhat exists against us 011
the-part of the wealthier portion of the inhabi
tants, has been'engendered by the roes of their
slaves. 'Their former servants will no longer
work for thenC' They will not or cannot come

Polished Dlamewd.
Amsterdam ia much engaged in manufactures,
and some of them are peculiar to the country.
Tha one of these which I was most curious to
see is that for the polishing or cutting of dia
mond. 'There 'are eeveral In the citv, and
they are exclusively the property of the' Jewa,
who are quite numeroua.'. In the lower atory of
a large building were six or eight horses, driven
round and round by a number 'of boya, and turn
ing a large wheel. . .From this I ascended a nar
rw and atcep stairway, lined with dust, smut
and cobwebs, to the second floor. 1 Here were
about forty workmen, seated at their benches
round the aides of tha room. The large wheel
below turned' four smaller cylinders in tha mid
dle of this room, and from these bands ran 16 all
the benchea and kept in motion a number of cir
cular iron plates, horizontal and even with the
surface 'of the table.': The superintendent sat
in the centre, busy' at hia work, and overlooking
the room. s He spoke English; and took much
pains to explain ' and show me 1 the whole pro-
cess.''1 " 5,,;ti'a i x.i-;;.'. ft .- ie
The flat plate of soft Iron . is about ten inches
in diameter, and burnished with a file or piece
of course sandstone, eo aa to be full of fine linea
radiating from the centre. Thia laata a work
man one or two daya, and, muat lhenbe prepa
red once again., ,Tre rough diamonds are email,
irregular, round pebbles, just , about the site ol
the shot a sportsman is accustomed to use, from
the smallest size to buckshot, ' 1 rM
' The workman takes a small copper cup, one
inch in diameter, which is fastened to a strong
wire, and (ills it with composition of zinc and
quicksilver. This compisition, when hot, hs
the consistency of wax, and is easily moulded
into any shape. ' The workman filled a cup'and
rounded it off with a flat piece of iron' fn bis
hand an experiment which, he told me would
be difficult fnr an inexperienced person to try
withont burning his fingers, but Upon bis horny
hand the ' red hot metal nade no inrpreasion.
When finished, it looked just like an acorn upon
ite stem, with the diamond partially embedded
in the apex.' ' ;! " " ?".
The whole waa then plunged into cold wa
ter, and the atone waa' held firmly in Ha place by
the solid 7 zinc, end resdy for pol idling. This
acorn of zinc and ' diamond la then fastened
firmly "in an' iron clamp,' which is whirling
round and grinds it off." Sometimea k weight
of lead is put on to press it down and grind it
down faster. 1 Ech workman attends two at
he same time, and takea them up every minute,
lo apply with a eamcl-hiir pencil the smallest
qiuntily "of diamond dust,' which is the only
substance) ' will : cut upon them,' and ia ' much
more precious than gold; or to ' bead the stiff
wire with the thumb' and form a; new face.
Ilia' first step is to 'make a table,' aa H ia call
ed , that is, to grind down a considerable ear-
face on one aide, around which the other facets
are arranged. Every diamond is here finished
with sixty-four facets, and dote entirely by the
eye. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ,! ; " u '
,(The workmen are employed twelve !uuts and
finish three or four a day. The diamond mcr
chants of Amsterdam pay. Ir-jm four lo ten guild
ers that is, from two to jour dollars each for
poliiiing; ,Tie ben place for buying the rough
atones is France, and the beat market for ael
ling the folished jewels is England. Any co
lor jnjitrts' the value of the stone. ' The clear
';mid diamond is the moat valued. A workman
showed me three of the same, juat finiahed,
weighing about three carata"cach, half, as large
aa a pca( and aaiti they were worth 600 florins,
that i". about ninety dollars each.' Doubtless
they will soon sparkle in 'marble halla,' and in
unison with splendour and beauty but I doubt
if Ihey will ever again sparkle in more striking
snd brilliant contrast than when I aaW them in
the sonny' bands of the workman. V""'.' 1 :

, Arthbaottb Coau This invaluable miner
al, of which Pennsylvania contains inexhausti
ble mines, is found in the eaatern counties of
the State, in three "basins of fields., The aggre
gate area of the three basins is uearly , 1000
square m ilea. The first discovery. of anthra
cite coal, on the Lehigh, in Carbon county, was
made by Philip Gintter in 1791. He found it
adhereing to tha roots of a tree that waa blown
over by the wind.1 In 1792 it was taken to
Philadelphia from the Lehigh and tried under
the boiler of the engine at Centre square, but
the mode of using it not being known; if put
the fire out. The remainder was used in place
of gravel on the wall of the square. In 1S20
the Philadelphia market was overstocked by n
supply of 30o tons, sold at $9 40 per ton. ' But
mark the progress of improvement which intel
ligence and le-jjerience never fail ' to produce.
In 181S thequantity transported 1 from the
three basins and distributed throughout a wide
range of the community, waa 2,012,742 ton,
wljich placed in the bands of consumers at tV
per ton, must draw from them $10,063,710. A
Wise systsn. of political legislation and a suand
currency will soon double the quantity of an
thracite from the mines of Pennsylvania; vln
no part of Europe can coal be found to compete
with the anthracite of Pennsylvania, in price or
quality, and it is reasonable that before many
yeara it will constitute an important article of
export."'' '' 1 ' ' l:-"

we have ever been of the opinion that there ia
more in a name than has generally been conce
ded by (evons," Indeed,' we never could be
lieve in the dogma, 'that a rose by any other
name wou!d smell aa eweet.' The following
which he recently found in rumaging a multi
farioua collection of old newspaper volumes,
not only clearly demonstrate that there is much
in a name, but it is a curiosity of itself.
