The last spike in the track of the P.

The mantle for the approaching cor
OnatOn at Moscow is of cloth OF gold,
bOrdercd with the imperial arms Of
Russia embroidered in precious stones.
The crown is the same which served
for the Empress Catherine. 1t IS be-
lieved to be worth three millions of
roubles, and is composed of diamonds.
rubieS and pearls of immense value.
The Orlotf diamond is not to be worn.
1t adorns tha sccpter and was lately
sent to London to be reset, when il was
weighed and found To be heavier by
eight carats than the KOh-i-noor. But
the most interesting object of all for
the artist and the antiquary is the car
riage in which the czariha will proceed
TO the cathedral. 1t was built at Ber-
lin from the designs of Frederick the
Great, and sent by him rs a present to
Elizabeth of Russia. 1t may be de-
Scribed as a dOubc-Scated throne with
out springs, but hung upon four straps
of crimson velvet. A single window
Of plate glass, framed in heavily
pleated white satin, occupies the front.
The imperial eagle i'm diamonds deco
rates each panel. This wondrous vehi-
Gle is drawn by eight snow-white
horses, whose crimson velvet trappings
are literally all ablaze with gold, dia-
monds and precious stones.
