Against one wall was a plaster of Paris plaque of an O'Callahan in a Roman helmet. There was his Excellency the Prince of Peterwaradin, with his Princess--a nobleman tightly girthed, with a large military chest, on which the plaque of his order shone magnificently, and wearing the red collar of the Golden Fleece round his neck.
