APOLLO HALL, W.aSHLNGTON; THURSDAY,
DECEMBER 18th, l843.
This splendid Exhibition is the production of a

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

SPECTACLES-My attention mas oeen called to
~ an article in the public papers and circulated in
handbills about this city called Perfocal Spectacles,
said to be constructed in accordance with the phi
losophy of nature In the form Of Concavo- Convex
Ellipsis. What is meant by the philosophy Of nature
may be hard to tell but certainly they are atvariance
from the laws or principles Of Optics, certainly
Eipsis can converge the rays Of light perfect fo
Gus. They are said not to be the French meniscus
or Wollaston's periscopic Zone and the same
struction of glasses) The meniscus lens is truly
ground surfaces concave one side the other side,
possessing greater degree Of sphercity consequent

will converge the rays Of light the same double
convex lens The application Of this form Of lenses
in the shape Of Spectacles, gives the eye greater
field of vision. Z, I 7.s, # ss..sgT.
The celebrated DR.. Brewster. in speaking Of these
Spectacles says that they give decidedly more inper-
feet visions than common spectacles because they in

they may be of use in crowded city in warning us
of the oblque approach of objects. Now, as spec

apply piece of bent concave convex glass with

clans throughout all Europe for ages and the general
