Story, of a Diamond Xccklacc. One morning in the month of June, 1S0G, the Empress Josephine's jeweler was issued into a little apartment of .the Tuilcries, in which Napoleon was seated at breakfast. "The necklace must be the very best you can produce," said the Emperor. "I do n rt care for the price; nevertheless I will have it submitted to a fair valuation. . .1 warn you of that. Not that I doubt your integrity. . . . : . but because . . .in short, because I am not a lapidary myself, and therefore not a competent judge cf such matters. As soon as it is finished J bring it to me, and take care that you show it to no one. You understand 1" "Yea, sire. But I wish your Majesty cenU allow Vne a little more time, that I may be enabled lo select the stones in the most sati-factory maun r. Choice diamonds are very scarce at present. anJ they have risen greatly in price." At these words, the Emperor turned sharply to the jeweller, and said: "What do you mean Since the campaign of Germany the jewel market has been overs.ockcd. Tarbleau ! I know it for a fact, that our French jewelers have been purchasing largely from tiie petty Pjrinces of the Germanic Confederation, whom the King of Prussia and Emperor of Russia hav e ruined, by stirring them up against me. Go to Bapts, or to Mellerio ; they can let you have as many diamonds as you may want." Sire,T have always made it a rule never to avail myself of the assistance of other tradesmen, when I have the honor of working fjr your Majesty's august family. . . 1 have at this moment in my possession a set of diamonds which I purchased for the King of Trussia, who has commissioned me." "That is your business, Foncier, and not 'mine. . : . But with regard to the necklace, do the best you possiply can, and show the people beyond the Rhine, tlmt we surpass them in jewellery as well as in all other things." On a sign from Napoleon, Foncier made his last bow and withdrew. A week after this interview, the Emperor received a necklace. , It was surpassingly beautiful. " The jewels, the pattern, the mounting, even the case in which it was enclosed all were unique. Napoleon had it valued ; it was estimated to le worth 800,000 francs, precisely the price which Foncier demanded for it. The EmperOr was perfectly satisfied. About this time, (June 1S0G,) Trince Louis Buonaparte, one cf Napoleon's younger brothers, was raised to the rank of sovereignty, and proclaimed King of Holland. . On the day when Napoleon was to receive the crown ofthat realm from the hands cf the Dutch envoys, and to place it on his brother's head, all the Court assembled at St. Cloud, Louis and Hortense arrived in the morning from St. Leu. The ceremony, which was attended with, great pomp, tojk place In the Salle du Trone. The envoys of the defunct Batavian republic were magnificently entertained, and it was announced that the new King and Queen would set out for their dominions on . the following day. In the evening, Napoleon sent to inform llortense that he desired to speak with her in his cabinet. She immediately attended tlie summons, and when the page threw open the folding doors to announce her, the title of "Her Majesty the Queen of Holland" greeted her car for the first time. "Ilortense," eaid the Emperor, "you have become the Queen ef a brave and virtuous people. If you and your husband att wisely, the house cf Orange can never again return to uoiianu witii its old pretensions. ir,. r r 1, 1 1 . c .1 t ." 1 i- t iiswii. , t j : i . ! 1 1 f k - thmk I can discern m them one remarkable 1 auk; it .1 .1. e plicity, thch arc fond cf luxury and especially wcultu.

You must have a good assortment of jewels, and here is a little ornament which I beg yoa will accept. .Wear this necklace fiomctimcs in remembrance of me. I hare purchased it myself, out of my own sivings." Si saying, Napoleon clasped the glitter circlet cn the neck of Hortense, and embracing her with paternal affection, bade her farewell. When seated on the throne of Holland, Queen Hortense rendered full honor to her father-in-law's present. Oa every court day, at the Palace of the Hague, at every fele given iii the Mi:sju de Bols, the superb necklace adorned her swan-like neck. But sooa came those disastrous days Napoleon's eua began to set. Hortense descended from the throne precisely as she had ascended it ; ia willing obedience. On her arrival in Hollan I her subjects had greeted her with cries cf "God bless our lovely Queen !" On her departure, those cries were changed to "God bles3 our good Queen !" To a heart like that of Hortense, this last greeting was consolatory, even at the moment when a throne was lost. On retiring into private life, she devoted herself tt the education of her children, and to rendering filial attenA , I ,1 , 1. , , 1 1 uu tu nur uiouier, vm i.kc imrocn, was 1.10 iciaox , -. ' , . j The cannon of "Waterloo had ceased to roar, and Napoleon was obliged to quit tlic Elysees.and to take refuge in Mihuaison, the last abode of the Empress Josephine. One evening, when ho was alone in the sa-ont seated before a table on which lay scattered the notes froai which the second act of abdication was to be drawn up, a lady entered. It was Hortense. "Sire, she said, in a voice trembling with emotion, "does your Majesty remember the present you made me at St. Cloud, about nine years ago Napoleon gazed at the daughter of Josephine, with a mingled expression of priet'and affection, then taking her hand, he said, "Well, Hortende, what have you to say to me !" "Sire, when I was a Queen, you gave tli'n necklace. It is of great value. But now I am no longer a Queen, and you are unfortunate. . therefore I entreat that you will permit me to return it 1" "That necklace, Hortense, replied Napoleon, coldly. "Why deprive yourself of it 1 It is now, probably, the half of your fortune. And your children 'Sire, it is all I possess iu the world. But as to my children, they will never reproach their moOier for having shared with her benefactor the bounty - which he was pleased to confer on her ?" She burst into tcar3, anJ Napoleon struggled to conceal his emotion. . . "No, Hortens?," slid he, averting his head, and gent'y repelling the hand which was stretched out to him; "no, I cannot . . "Take it, Sire;. I implore you. There is no time to be lost. They are coming! . . With these words s.c thrust the jewel rase into Lis hand. A few hours afterwards the necklace was stitched into a vilkca ceiniure, which Napoleon wore under -his waistcoat. Six weeks a ftcr this incidents Napoleon was on the i?eck of the Bcl'erophon," preparing to embark on bnrd the Nort'.umbrrhn.l. The arms of the persons of his suite were taken frr:a thern, their biggage was in-p-ected, and they vcro not permitted to take with tkiu CiU.cr laoacy or yxch. The trunlis of tUa il-
UY (n A. & J. T. CIIAPJIAN. lustrious prisoner being searched, a box .was found containing 4LO0 Napoleons d'or. lie was informed that the nnncy muit be given up. This sum, togeth er with soma funds which Napoleon had lodged in t! e lianas 01 Lafitte, prior to hu departure from Paris, was all Iiis fortune. ' ' Whilst the inspection was going on, Napoleon was gently pacing up and down tiie quarter-deck with M. L.as Cases. Casting a furtive look around him, and finding that he was not observed, he drew from be-. neath hid waistcoat the silken ct inture, and gave it to his companion, saymg - v "My dear Las Cases, a certain Greek philosopher used to say that he carried all his fortune about with him, though certainly he had not a shirt to his back. I don't how he managed ; but this I know, that ever since our departure from Paris I have been carrying all my treasure under my waistcoat. I now begin to weary of my burden. Will yoü relieve me of it !" He unfastened his ceinture, and Las Cases without making any reply, took it from him, and fastened it round his own waist. It was not until after his arrival at St. Helena that Napoleon informed M. de Las Cases that the silken bond which he had confided to his care on Imrd the Bellerophou contained a necklace worth SJO.COt) francs. Subsequently Lai Cn?ca expressed a desire to restore it to Napoleon. 4'Does it not incommode you !" inquired tiie Emperor, drily. uNo, sire." "Then retain it," rejoined Napoleon ; "fancy it is a charm or an amulet, it will not trouble you." Fifteen months afterwards, Las Cases was, by order cf the English Government, unexpectedly separated from Napoleon. lie and h'13 son were removed from Longwood, and conveyed to Plantation House, where they were kept under strict surveillance, until they embarked for the Cape of Good Hope. Meanwhile, Las Cases Etill held possession of the diamond necklace. Time ran on, and he was informed that he had only a few days longer to remain at St. Helena. He was distressed at the thought of departing without being able to return the treasure to its owner. What could he do ! All communication between him and Longwood was peremptorily interdicted. A plan occurred to his thoughts, and he determined to run the risk of attempting its execution. Among thooC persona who had recently arrived at St. Helena, there was an English officer, whose open countenance and cand.' 1 manners encouraged Las Cases to place confidence in him. The officer came to Plantation House in the suite of the Governor. He spoke French perfectly ; and Las Cases seized nn opportunity of whispering a few words to him unperceived. "I have reason to believe that you possess a noble and generous heart ; and will venture to put it to the proof. You can render me a most important act of service, and one that will compromise neither your conscience nor your duty; It is an affair which concerns my honor and that of my family. I have in my possession something of considerable Value, which I am anxious to return 10 the Emperor. . If you will undertake to deliver it to him, my son will slip it so1crKly into your pocket." The olhcerrepiiea merely by a significant nod of the head. Young La3 Cases, who was with hi father, had received his instructions, and Queen Hortense's necklace was dropped into the officer's pocket unperceived, though quite within sight of all the Governor's staff. But the greatest difficulty yet remained to bo accomplished that of conveying the treasure to its owner. Two whob years elapsed crc this could be effected. . It occurred to tiie Emperor Napoleon that ho had 1 -. . - : -i ..i. 'or euiiij Him.-, uvvu uitr uu aiui more viiriiaui waicii1 ulness than befjre.

Then cutting short Iiis walk, ho hurri-id back in the direction of Longwood. The Englishman turned back also, and coining close up to Napoleon "Sire," slid he, in a tone of profound respect. Begone, sir! caul Napoleon sharply. "There can be n3 communication" between me and your tfciploycr?. Begone, I say !" "Sire," resumed the officer, with an air of perfect composure, "your Majesty is under a mistake." He then hurriedly uttered the words i'Count Las Cases I have something of value." "Ah !" exclaimed Napoleon. "Tell mo what yod have to say !" ' "I beg that vour Majesty will continue your walks without sccmng to notice me. I have a packet which I have carried about with me for two years, seeking an opportunity to deliver it. Will your Majesty contrive to let me throw it into your hat 1" Napoleon uncovered, and passed his hand across his forehead, which wal art habitual action with him when endeavoring to recollect anything. By a movement as quick as thought, the necklace was thrown into his hat. "Now," Baid the officer in an under tone, "I trust luui iAaii.3iy mil iwiuuu ui jui.iviiiimiii &uiv T 1 1-1 f r. will r 1 riii. lmnflmnf it T Jnrft e 1 1 mi " c foUillcd my mission, and you will see no more 01 me May God LIcs3 and preserve your Majesty !" About the end of April, 1321, some days before his death, Napoleon desired. General Montholon to come to his bod-side. "My friend," said he, "I have under my pillow a necklace of considcrabla value belonging to Hortense. -I had good reasons for not allowing any on 3 here to know that I possessed ah article of such value. When I am gone, take it into your care, and when you return to France, (nhould you ever be so fortunate n to return there,) give it to Hortense. Should sorrow have hurried he to an early grave, give it to her children my nephews." Montholon promised to fulfil those commands. " "Now,'' said Napolcou, pressing his hand, "I die satisfied." The mulady continued to mike rapid progress ; and when General Montholon was assured that Napoleon had but a few hours to live, he took his post, like a faithful sentinel, at the bed-side of the invalid. At length, Dr. Antomirchi pronounced the fatal words, "Ail is over !" and Montholon,' gently raising his sovereign's hcid, dre.v from beneath the pillow, the treasure confided to his care. ' . AAer. many adventurous journeys in America and in various parts of "Europe, Montholon returned to his native France. Having performed what he felt to be his first act of duty, that of embracing hi3 aged mother, he sjt out for Arencmberg, to restore to the exQueen of Holland a necklace, no;? doubly consecrated as a memorial of happiness and misfortune. For a longtime sh preserved it with feelings of Bacred veneration; but in the moment of severe pecuniary distress, she found herself compelled to part with it. The King pf Bavaria offered to purchase it by settling on tl.o ex -Queen- an annuity cf 121,000 francs. Necessity ratified the bargain; and twoyeara afterwards Hortense was no more. ' CT-.Mr. Laker, a young and talented sculptor of Cincinnati, hai sent home a superb statue of Egcnii, said by those who have seen it, to be a perfect sj-cci-nien of art, with the semblance of nature breathed upon it.

'A circumstance which has afforded ample material for the gossips of Southwark, has occurred within the last few diys. A gentleman, resident in the Southwark-brulge, ha been for a considerable time in tlie habit of attending a coffee-house in Cannon street, city ; and, whether or not particular attentions were paid to the damsel in waiting, tlie reselt was that she fell desperately in love with her customer. Affection ripened into positive madness, end the poor girl, intent on never losing sight of the object of her passion, followed him from day to day, and even during the night never allowed vigilance to cease. Several times, ch Ins way homeward, the grat'eman alluded to has encountered the fair damsel on Southwark bridge, and threats have been held out that unless some proof was given that her love was reciprocated she would terminate he'r existence by leaping from the parapet. On one occasion she attempted to carry her threat, into execution, but was prevented by the gentleman. It appears that at a later hour of the night she tendered her money to the toll-keeper, with a view of passing through, but her request was refused, an intimatidn of her intention to commit self-dcstructib:i haviug been previously given: On Thursday some circum stances transpired that made it apparent that if precautionary measures were not taken, "tlis worst jnight be expected,, arid the girl wa3 given into the custody of the police. Shortly afterwards sho appeared before Sir. Alderman Challis, at Guildhall, and was sent to Giltspur street Compter, where ehe will remain until her lit of love shall have subsided, or untii eom'e security shall bo afforded that a eirhilar course of conduct shall not be repeated. X Tjhiillixg Scene. In Frankfort, on the banks of the Penobscot, in Maine, a gent'eman lost his wife by death. Three days after her interment he had some business with a young physician of that town. Calling at his house, he was informed that the doctor had gone out but would soon return. He concluded to wait, and to pas the time more agreeably, as .he thought, went into the young physician's studio, and there ho found a student, with scalpel in hand, in the act of dissecting a dead body. He started back at first view, as people generally dd When suddenly coming into the presence of the dead. Recovering from his surprise ho stepped towards the.corpsd which the student was cutting, and foirtid the dead body to bo tWnf IiU wifp. buried three' davs before. His feelings may be imagined, but cannot be described; Ihe husband immediately took legül measure against both student and doctor. They were examined and bound over to answer frr the crime of carrying away and dissecting dead bod ie3.

Titt : Never did man go so near to destroy the intellect of his son by over-excitement as that arrogant, unreason ' able, imperious and much-overated man, tlie great : Earl of Catham, as he is called. " Courage, my son," j said he, in one of his letters, when the poor lad was complaining of the enormous variety of topics urged ' on his attention : " courage, my boy, remember there is only the Cyclopaedia to learn." Vim. ritt was very near falling a sacrifice to his fathers ambition. Great ' as were his talents, I do not doubt that they would out his body at so early an cge. To see him, as I have done, come into Bellamy's, after the excitement j 0f the debate, in a state of collapse, that with his uncouth countenance cravo the air of insanity, swallow a stiak without mastication, and drink a bottle of port '.wine almost at a draught, and be then barely wound development. So much has its excitability been exhausted by premature and excessive moral stimuli, that When his ambition was sated, it was incapable of even keeping itself in action without the physical ' stimulants I hafe spoken of. Men called the sad ex hibition the triunuih of mind over matter;! call it 1 the contest of braia and body, w i-hcre victory is obtain- . cd at the sacrifice of life How to get a Feather Beo. Tri carrying off even the small thing of a feather bed. Jack Tate; the bold burglar, showed the skill of a high practitioner, for he descended the stairs backwards. . , . "Backwards" said Larry Hogan, what's. that fori" . -You'll see by and by", said Groggins. He descended backwards, when suddenly he heard a door open arid a female voice exclaiming Where are you going with that bed !" ; ,l I am going up stairs with it raa'ani," Eäid ack, Whoüe backward position favored the lie ; and ha began to walk up again. . " Come down," said the lady, " we want no beds hCfe; fKan." - " Mr. Sullivan, ma'am, sent me home with it himself," said Jack, mounting the stairs. Come dowd, . I tcjl you," said thq lady, in a great rage, ' there's ho Mr. Sullivan lives here."" ' I beg your pardon, ma'am," said Jack, turning round and marching off with the bed, fair and easy. Well, there was. a regular 6hilloo in the house when the thing was found out, and cart ropes would'nt hold the hdy for the rage she was in. A roaring orator. Mr. Tresidcnt, I shrill not remain silent, sir, while I have a voice that is not dumb in this assembly. ' The gentleman, sir, cannot expostulate this matter to nny future time that is more suitable than now. He may talk, sir, of the Ilercuhlaneum revolutions, where republicans are hurled into arctic regions and the works ci centurions refrigerated to ashes but, sh", we cari tell him, indcfiitigably, that tlie consequences therefrom multiplied sfibterancously by the everlasting principles contended for thereby, can no more shake this resolution than can the rear of Niagary rejuvenate around these walls, or the howl of tlicmidniffht tempest conflagrate the marble statue into ice. That's just what I told them. The editor of the Knickerbocker ludicrously illustrates the necesity of a refcrm in medical nomenclature. Yery much confounded, he says, was our friend Dr. Doane, a few years since, by a remark of one of his patients. Tlie day previous the Docior had pre scribed that safe and palatable remedy the syrup of buckthorn, and had left his prescription duly Witten 111 the usual cabalistic character: S'yr. Rham. Cath On enquiring if the patient had taken the medicine, a thunder cloud darkened her face lightning flashed from her eyes, and she roared out, No! I can read your' doctor writing, and-1 aint a-going' to take the Syrup of Rj.ni cats for any bodyomder heaven !' Man's heart cats all things, and is hungry still.-

- Religious Toleration. We find tlie following in the Tennsylvanian : Tlie present is a momert in which it is peculiarly to be desired that men should acquire correct notions, not only of the absolute right to enjoy .freedom of. conscience, but alio of the full length and breadth of that right when correctly understood. Many may admit the soundness of the excellent maxims of William Term; that '"mistakes about reliT gion are known only to God," and that force might make hypocrites. Rht would make no converts ;" they may even admit, in words, tlie position ssemed in the first regulations cf that great man for this government of Tennsylvania, and since incorporated into the constitution of this and of most of our sister States, that every man has an inherent right to worship God according lo tt:e dictates or bis own conscience; and yet, when they come to tlie practical business of pri vate me, 01 legislation, and ot government, tlicy may act in gross inconsistency with the principles whoso truth they have acknowledged. They may be very zealous against persecution for opinion's sake, whert directed against themselves, or against those who hold or have held like doctrines with thcmselvc, in ally country or in any t'ge, and yet be very ready to becoirie practical imitators of the very persecutors whose evil deeds they so much condemn. They may, in trade or iu private intercourse, shun and stigmatize men of exemplary lives, because they bold a belief which it is impossible for them to change at will, and because they are not, uch hypocrites as to pretend to think otherwise than as they really do think ; thus holding out direct Inducements to duplicity and deceit. .While they support the general principle of freedom of opinion contained 111 our constitution, they may nevertheless favor a course of legislation which practically denies that principle, by giving, in one form or other, advantages and facilities to one or more sects which are withheld from one or more other sects ; thus in substance, imposing an actual penalty upon the assumed offence cf holding to a particular form of faith: And in the choice of public officers and tlie administration of public affairs, they may raise a hue and cry against one or more classes of believers, which will operate as a punishment as really as would fine and imprisonment. Ia short, they are willing that every body should freely enjoy their own opinions, proi ided that there opinions are sound, and provided also, that they themselves slia.ll be tlie sole judges cf the true standard of orthodoxy. All such courses are unjust, as truly so as theft or robbery ; for a man has as much right to the enjoyment of the opinions which he fornis through the mental industry of reflection; as to the property which he JTodaccs through the manual industry of mechanical abor. The prosciiption of which we have becn speaking, is not only unjust, but also highly impolitic, in tho; who practise it. They render themselves by it uncomfortnble and misanthropic: they are in consequence cf it, compelled to iheet constantly; is foes, with whom they might otherwise meet as friends: they lay a foundation for the exercise against themselves in turn, of that proscription which they now exercise against .others : arid they sap the principles upon which the freedom and prosperity of the whol nation depend. - History and experience demonstrate the fact, that in the matter of intolerance, as in reference to other wrong?, it holds true, both of individuals s.nd of sects; that tlie "measure ye niete unto others shall be mea: sured to you again." He must be blind indeed, who can imagine that it is possible to form and execute a scheme of proscription in politics, tearing upon tlie sect most obnoxious for the moment, without tlie tc suit following, that as soon as that sect is effectually proscribed, both the zeal of bigotry and the selfish thirst of office will combine, with added enthusiasm and energy, for tlie proscription of other sects which shall stand in their way, after the original object of , their hate has become less formidable. By proscribing men politically da accCant of their relitnous faith, Democracy would inflict a most danj gerous wound upon itself, in circumnbing the field in which it may seek for men -faithful, competent and true; to uphold and carry out its principles ; and by introducingrother tests thail honesty, ability and de mocratic principles, it would cause tlie true tests to be overlooked, and would give i:s support to strange political deities. ' ( History teaches the truth; that men may err in religious doctrine and yet be sound in political doctrine, and rice versa' It sliowsthat there are or have been countries, in sömo of whjch protestantism, in some Catholicism, and iri sduie even paganism was the faith of the majority, and yet. political freedom existed, and the religious rights of tlie minority were respected ; and it shows also, that iri those countries where political tyranny, aristocracy and despotism have prevailed, in some cases one, and in some another of those forms of religion were preponderant. Hence we should lcafri the lesson, that however zealous we may be in the support and propagation of our peculiar religious faith, we should yield to others the riglit to do likewise, and avoid mixing into politics nfl questions of doctrine which do not directly involve practical justice and morality between marl and man. " The Jesuits. " At a moment," says the Couricf Francais, V when the society of Jesuits attracts so much attention, the following sketch may not be uninteresting. The Jesuits have had since the foundation of theorder to the present perid 23 generals, of whom 11 were Italians, A Spaniards, 3 Gerihans, 2 Toles, 2 Belgians, and Dutch, viz: 1: Saint Ignatius Loyola, a auiard, elected in the year 1341; 2.
