APOLLO HALL, W.aSHLNGTON; THURSDAY,

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
Caiaphas says to him, ~ adure thee by the living
God that thou tell us whether thou be Christ, the
Son of God" Jesus answers, Thou hast said,
nevertheless say unto you, hereafter shall ye see
the Son of man sitting on 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 as BIAS
phemy sand he Immediately raised his hands in at
fected horror, and says, He hath spoken basphemy
what further need have we Of witnesses Behold now
ye have heard his blasphen.y!"


The scene illustrates the appearance of the Roman
Court under Pontius Plate, and the Jewish Court,
under Caiaphas, the High Priest-and the Grouping,
Costume, and the Decorations Of the hgures are all
in strict accordance with ancient history.


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