This coach is still used when Her Majesty goes in 

 state, and is drawn by eight cream-coloured horses. It is 

 kept in the Royal Mews, Pimlico. 



As a good pendant to the above description of Her 

 Majesty's state coach, I give the following account of 

 Buonaparte's travelling chariot. Though rather off the 

 coaching road, it may furnish hints to those who wish to 

 have a ' convenient ' carriage. The chariot was taken 

 at Waterloo, and was presented to the Prince Regent, 

 by whom it was afterwards sold to Mr. Bullock for 

 2,500/. It eventually found its way to Madame Tus- 

 saud's Waxwork Exhibition, where it may still be seen. 



This very curious and convenient chariot of the first 

 Emperor was built by Symons of Brussels for the 

 Russian campaign, and is adapted for the various 

 purposes of a pantry and a kitchen ; for it has places for 

 holding and preparing refreshments, which by the aid of 

 a lamp could be heated in the carriage. It served also 

 for a bedroom, a dressing-room, an office, &c. The seat 

 is divided into two by a partition about six inches high.
