A Crownless Coronation.

A coronation without a crown sounds distinctly Irish, yet such was In effect the ceremony In which Henry 111 took the most prominent part at Gloucester on Oct' 28, lilS. On this occasion a plain circle was used Instead of a crown, which had been lost with the jewels and other baggage of King John In passing the marshes of Lynn or the Wash near Wlsbeach.—London Telegraph.
