The history of its fall is a fa `ble ; and as writers are accustomed to copy each. other, tlic story continues to, be propagated. The fact is, the bell remains in the place where it w as originally - cast. It never was suspended ; - the Russians might as well attempt to suspkni tirst niz'e line-of-nattle slap, with ail its gnus stores, A fire tool placc . id the Kremlin, the fialues of which - caught the building- erected over the pit in which the 'bell yet remained -; in eon setinence-,of -which the metal became hot ; ani? Water thrown to : extinguish, the'lire fell upon the - bell, causing the 'fracture :which has taken place.' • On fcstiV4.ll days, the peasantsviit the bell as they would a'ehurch, considering -it as an act of devotion ; and they-cross themstivesas they de seend and ascend the steps.

The imperial treasure is now in cases round the wiills of., the upper apartments of the palace ; , the approach to which is by a stone staircase, me morable for massacres committed there by the Strelitzcs, daring the .mutiny excited by the sister of Peter the Great. We ascended by this me morable staircase- to the Imperial Treasury._ It contains very little worth notice. Habits of cere morly, worn by -the Sovereigns of Russia at their coronation, amid -other costly embroidered robes, thickly studded with gems and. pearls, occupied the principal cabinets, sand appeared to constitute its chief ornaments-. An - 161-1g a number of such dresses was a vest, twelve 3T.lrtis .in length ; worn by _Catherine the Second•. It was supported by twelVerehamberlains' at her coronation.. The custom of amassing and exhibiting splen did attire characterized the Russians in times of their earliest potentates., • The crowns of conquered kingdoms are exhibit ed in the Treasury.. We saw those of Casan, of Siberia, of Astracan, and of the CriMea. • The last ; from its simplicity, and the circumstances • connected with its history, excited the mostsinte, rest. It was totally‘desfLtute of ornament, af fording remarkable contrast to the latish store of 'riches seen on, all the o bjects around it, and emblematical.of the simplicity and virtue of the people, from whom it bad been Wandered. Its form was very antient,nnd resembled that usually given by painters to our Engßsh Alfred. • The part of the Treasury containing the most able objects is that in which the crowns of the Russian sovereigns are deposited. - In a very ancient part of.the palace, forner)t inhabited by the Patriarchs , and adjoining to their chapel, arc kept the dresses Worn by theth ; which are also cxhibitedin glass cases: Th 6, requested us particularly to notice the habits ofNicon and St. Nicholas; the tiaras sent, to the Patriarchs, from the Emperors of Constantinople ; the cruci fixes borne ill their solemn processions ; the pa triarchal staves, and relics.. Several of the last were inserted in cavities cut within a wooden cru cifix: Aniong other things which added to its pro digious sanctity and - miraculous powers,tvas point ed out to us a part of one of the bones of Mary Magdalene.
