tous Pllate in group Of Twenty-three Figures the
Size of Life, splendidly dressed in appropriat
tune, will open at the
APOLLO HALL, W.aSHLNGTON THURSDAY,


DECEMBER I4th, l843.


This splendid Exhibition is the production Of a
celebrated Female Artist, and is intended to repre-
sent that moment in the trial of our Saviour, when
Caaphas says to him, g adjure thee by the living
God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ, the
Son of God" Jesus answers, g Thou hast said
nevertheless say unto you, hereafter shall ye see
the Son of man sitting the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of Heaven!" This was
equivalent to calling himself the Son Of God which
OF course was considered by the High Priest BIAS
phemy; and he Immediately raised his hands in af-
tected horror, and says He hath spoken basphemy
what further need have we Of witnesses Behold
ye have heard his blasphen.y!'


The scene illustrates the appearance of the Roman
Court, under Pont,us Plate, and the Jewish Court,
under Caiaphas, the High Prest-and the Grouping,
Costume, and the decorations Of the figures, all
in strict accordance with ancient history.


This piece OF Stauary is universally considered a
magnificent Work OF Art: beautiful and interesting
spectacle, and impressive and valuable commen-
tay on the passage Of Holy Writ to which it refers.
