tious Plate, in group Of Twenty-three Figures the
Size Of Life spendidy dressed in appropriat cos
tunne will open at the
.7POLLO Hall. WASHINGTON, THURSDAY,
HS DECEMBER l4fh, l643.
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, adjure 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 yc see
the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds Of Heaven! - This was
equivalent TO calling himselfthc Son Of God which
of course was considered by the High Priest as bias
phcmy; and he Immediately raised his hands in af
fccted horror, and says, He hath spoken blasphemy

1" Cease, rude Boreas, Mastering railer ~
While walking along the Avenue yesterday, we
witnessed an incident which gave rise to an nn-
pleasant train Of reflection. colored servant
girl was carrying bandbox, when one blast Of
the wind blew off the cover, and another blew
out the contents "a new white satin bonnet which
was carried along the dirty street, and under
cart-wheel, where the frai but beautiful speci-
ful specimen Of art and industry, was crushed
into nafneless shape, unless we could call it a
/" cooked up bonnet" Who can say what yexa-
ton this little incident may have caused the fair
owner Of the bonnet? Perhaps, alas! it was
bridal head dress, and the lovely owner was i'm
patient TO set out upon the first journey; per-
haps but why multiply conjecturesl 1t was a
rude breeze, and blowed i'll luck to every body
but the milliner.
