plan for which was given by the King himself, were
designed by Dr. Peter Von Cornelius, and the archi-
tectural ornaments by Councillor Staler. The execu-
tion of the remaining portions—goldsmiths' work,
enamel, &c., was performed by M. G. Hossauer; the
modelling by M. Fischer; the chasing by M. A. Mertons,
and the lapidary work by M. Calandrelli.
In the centre of the shield is a head of our Saviour.
The middle compartment, surrounded by a double line
of ornamental work, is divided by a cross into four
smaller compartments, which contain emblematic re-
presentations of the two sacraments, Baptism, and the
Lord's Supper, with their Old Testament types—the
openirg of the fountain in the rock by Moses, and the
fall of manna. At the extremities of the arms of the
cross are represented the Evangelists, noting down
what they have seen and heard in the Gospels, which
tale to communicate to all futurity the plan of man's
salvation, and prove inexhaustible sources of divine
revelation and doctrine.

Oa the extreme points of the arabesques that rise
above the Evangelists are represented the Christian vir-
tues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, and of Christian
Righteousness. Around the entire centre stands in a
circle the twelve Apostles. Peter is seen under Faith,
represented in the arabesque; on the tight and lett of
him are Philip and Andrew; under Hope is James; on
either side are Bartholomew and Simon; John is placed
beneath the tiguro of Charity; on either side are James
the Younger and Thomas; under Righteousness is nail;
on the right; and lef; are Matthew and Jud-is Thaddeus,
going forth into the world to teach and to baptise, and to
propagate the kingdom of the Redeemer.
The relitvo which runs round the Edge of the shield
r' presents the betrayal, the redeeming atonement of
Christ, and his resurrection. Another portion repre-
sents our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem; a
third portion the descent of the Holy Gbost, the preach.
