THE NEW CROWN:

This splendid Attribute of Royalty, which has
just been completed by Messrs;RusnEt.r. and
BRIDGE, was on Tuesday deposited in the Jewel-
house, Tower. It is inuch larger, loftier, and
more magnificent than the former Crown—more
appropriate to the dignity of the. British Empire,
and the splendid taste of the Sovereign. Our
Readers will not be displeased with a.short de-
scription. The new Crown is-about fifteen inches
in elevation ; the arches, instead of sinking in
their centre, are raised almost to a point, being
themselves embossed and edged with brilliants,
and supporting an orb of brilliants also, more
than six inches in CirCumference. This is sun-
mounted with a Maltese Diamond Cross of ex-
quisite workmanship, on whose top and sides are
suspended three remarkably large pearls. In
the front of the Crown is'a unique sapphire of
'the purest and deepest azure, two inches long
and an inch broad. At 'the ba'ok is the ancient
ruby, which was worn by EowAnn the Black
Prince and our Fifth liAitaY in the victories of

Poictiers and Agincourt. The sapphire and ruby
are each inserted in a Maltese Cross of brilliants,
while the other parts of the Crown are occupied
with large Diamond Flowers. The Rim is en-
circled with Diamonds, Sapphires, Emeralds. and
Rubies, of very considerable pagnitude ; and the
whole is surrounded, iinmediately above the
ermine, w!th large pearls. The several other
articles of the KlNG'sj-tegaJla, and of the splen-
did Coronation Service, are also placed, in the
Jewel House. These have 'been all restored to
their ancient splendour, preparatory to the
Coronation.
