In consequence of this notice; the Lord Mayor
•has issued summonses to the members of the
Court of Aldermen and the principal City Officers,
to be in attendance during the ceremony in their
State dresses.
The workmen began yesterday to excavate the
holes which are to receive the supporters of the
.private platform, leading from the !louse of Lords
-to Poets' .Corneri The ground for the Cham-
pion's stable has also been staked out. It is
situated about the centre of New Palace-yard, in
.a direct line from Westminster Hall gate, and
will be forty feet in length by twenty feet in
width. In. Westminster Abbey the upbdlsterers
have commenced nailing up the crimson lining of
the orchestra and gallery adjoining. The dilfe=
rent seats and-galleries have not yet all been ap-,
portioned ; but this will shortly be done. A
model of the interior of the Abbey has been :just
completed. It is made to a scale of two inches.
and a half to ten feet, and every part of the edi-
fice- intended to be devoted to the ceremony of
the Coronation is distinctly displayed. By this
the exact number of tickets which it will be
proper to issue will bo - accurately calculated.
The Lord II igh Steward viewed the progresS'of
the works yesterday at two o'clock, and, expressed
his satisfaction at the activity which had been
displayed.

• Besides the Regalia which have been already
described„ the following have been prepkired.for
the purpose of being used in the 'solemn forms of
the approaching Coronation :---
THE SCEPTRE WITH A DOVE.—This differs materially
from the Sceptre with a Cross, which was described in the last
article. It is not wreathed, but of an even surface; it is pure
gold, three feet seven-inches in height, three inches in circum-
ference at the handle and two inches and a quarter at the top; •
the pommel is adorned by a fillet of diamonds and precious stones
of different sorts the ball or globe at the top is ornamented by
a band or fillet of rose diamonds;4 upon the ball is a small cross,
which is surmounted by a dove with extended wings, as the em-
blem of Mcry. For this Sceptre, his Majesty, in the coarse of
complying with the different forms required, will exchange the
ball-or globe of einpire. The Sceptre with the Dove will then be
held inithe left hand; while the right bears the Sceptre with the
Cross.

'rIIREE
Swonns will be borne naked before the King in the
Procession,' besides the Sword of State which has been already
mentioned. The latter will be carried singly and the nearest
to his Majesty's Person,- but will be immediately preceded by
the Sword of Justice to the Spirituality on the right hand, the
Sword of Justice to the Temporality on the left, and the Sword
of Mercy in the middle. The Sword of Mercy, or pointless
sword, known in the heraldic account by the name Curtana, is
the principal of the three swords in dignity ; the length of its
blade is thirty-two inches, the breadth althost two inches ; the
handle, .which is covered with fine gold wire,- is &winches long,
besides the pommel, of an inch and three-quarters, which, with
the cross or guard; is plain steel gilt ; the length of the cross is
almost eight inches. The.sword, for the purpose of answering
allegorically to its name, is made to appear as though its point
were broken off: Tile scabbard is covered with rich brocaded
cloth of tissue, with agilt ferule, hook, and cape.
The second- Sword in dignity, that of JUSTICE to the SPI-
RITUALITY, is a pointed sword, but considerably more obtuse
than the third : the length of its blade is 40 inches, the breadth
an inch and a half ; the handle is covered in a similar man-
ner to the former with fine gold wire; it.is also of the same
length, and in all other respects (not mentioned) coincides.
The third sword in dignity, the Sword ofJ usTICE to the TE M-
PORALITY, is an extremely sharp pointed sword; the breadth
of its blade is one inch and three quarters, the length forty
inches ; and in every respect it resembles the Sword of Justice
to the Spirituality. l'B •
