THE VICTORIA CRoet.—Than the Cross of Valour
nothing can be more plain and homely, not to my coarse-
looking. It is a very =all Maltese cross, formed from the
gun metal of ordnance captured at Sebastopol. In the mitre
is a email crown sod hom with which letter's natural pro-
portion of mane and tail the cutting of the cross much inter-
fere,. Below them is a small scroll (which shorten three
of the arms of the ems', and is utterly out of keeping with
the upper portions) hearing the words " For Valour." Mr.
Hancock was at first ordered to strike a hundred crows with
steel dim, but the intense hardness of the metal destroyed
the dies, and it was at last found aeerary to cost them and
chaos them afterwards. But even with dl the care and skill
which distinguishes Mr. Hancock, the whole ernes is, after
all, poor looking and mean in the extrtute. The merit of
the design, we believe, is due to the same illustrious indi-
vidual who once invented a hat.—Timer.

He wee the civil and military governor of the district

ea
instrument of the prince, hoping to oppose hint
