A soon as the bishop ia seated, they put hi
mitre en, and priest presents him with the pastoral ring. The deacon gives him hie right glove, end the sab-deacon hie left, which each of them kiss, as also the hand they hare the honour te serve in all thess circumstances. Prayer Intended to return God thank for the sanctification efhieehnreh by the Holy Ghoat, are ejaculated, and adapted to each individual piece of the episcopal robes. The devotion of thU ceremony I atao supported and confirmed by the staring the office of the tierce. Theee several robe. &e. have alio each a mystical r spiritual signification; as the stole describes the Yoke of the gospel ; the taking off of the shoes alludes to Mows putting off his shoe. The pluvial was formerly used by travellers, to represent the miseries of this life. &.. &.. The bishop being thus dressed in all his habiliments, hi clergy rang themselves round about him. Two deacons, who are canons, place themselves en each side of him, both in their dalmatlcus; and after them deacon and ubdeecoa. Then the incense-bearer, with the censer, and a priest, with the navel, out of which the bishop takes the incense, puts it into the censer and gives It hia benediction. After this he kisses the cross, which is upon the vestry altar; and then goes In profession to the other altar, where he is to celebrate the mass. The Ineenee-bearer walks at the head of the process- j ion; two wax-candle-bearers, with lighted tapers in their hands, march next on each aide of him wbe bears the cross. All the clergy follow them. The sab-deacon, who is to sine the epistle, earries before his breast the New Testament bat, with the bishop's maniple In it. A deacon and priest march just before the bishop; his lord

some instances have been solemnly stated by the learned Dr. Milner, an English Catholic prelate of great antiquarian and theological repute; bnt ae those miricles are not admitted by all the Catholics, they will not here be described. There are many very enlightened and truly liberal priests, who do not give credence to every thing that is related of this kind; although their general orthodoxy connot be reasonably disputed. The consecration ef crosses, bells, vestment, vessels, &.c. mast all be passed over, with barely mentioning that such are the practices of this
ancient church; as that of churches, church
yards, bells, and regimental colors, Is prevalent
among the reformed.
The same observation will apply to the sign of the cross; though that ceremony is much more frequently used by Catholics than by Protestants. The feasts and fasts of the Catholic Church are numerous; and are observed by them with great veneration and punctuality. Catholics do realty fast. Easter is kept with peculiar leal
and solemnity by the Catholics; so is Christmas and other holiday of that kind. Lent is alio very rigidly observed by them. Exorcisms, or the casting out of evil spirits.
are now but seldom practiced by the Roman Catholics; but they constantly exorcise salt, candles, water, Ate. but all they mean thereby is blessing those articles, by way of begging of God,
that such as religiously use them may obtain blessings, &c. An Agnus Dei is a piece of wax, stamped with the Lamb of God, blessed by the Pope with solemn prayer, and anointed with the holy chrism. These Were formerly article of sale; and the traffic in them was very prod active. Every good Catholic on entering hi place of worship first dip his finger in (he holy water, placed near the door; then crossing himself, gently bends the knee looking towards the altar. From this has arisen the practice among
Protestants, in the Church of England, of putting

himself one to the clergy and then advances on the first stsp of the altar; delivers his crook to the sub-deacon, the deacon taking off the mitre. Then the prelate aad clergy all bow before the res on the altar; after which the clergy withdraw, except two priest' assistant, one on his right hand and the other on hia left, with the intense-bearer, the ub-deacun, the two deacon's sssistants; and thus the ceremony of the massservice begins, tht choir singing the Introit. Want of room prevents a further description of the ceremonies attending mass in th varioets farms in which that great service or sacrifice, ts performed; Sr an amusing account ef the solemn mass, as Jbrated by the Pope himself, might V?ipQ we. perfccOoT thV .0' It wouiu oe equally amaeing to describe the
peculiar cefsnMsJee attending high-mass at Christmas, whan his holiness officiates; but this
cannot be done: space is only left to notice some ther topics of interest aad importance connected
with this venerable and singular community ef
Christiana.
The procession of the host on Good Friday in
Catholis countries is peculiarly solemn; though
not sa grand and Imposing as on some occasions.
At Courtray, a town In the Austrian Nether
lands, it was, and it is believed still is, the practice on Good Fridays, to have a grand procession
to what they call Mount Calvary, when a poor
man Is hired to represent the suffering Savior, aad in that capacity receives no small portion of thumps and blows. It was also, once the en tom at Brussels to have a public representation of the crucifixion; but I am inclined to believe, that the advancement of knowledge has taught the agents to lay aside that absurd custom. And It should be observed, once for all, that these, and each like practices, have nothing to do with' the tereraonies of the church properly speaking. In all Catholic countriee, however, la this day, the practice of procession-walking, on numer
ous occasions, particularly on what ia caned corpus christi. Is very prevalent. The prone, or homily, ought net to be overlooked. Under this word prone, we are to Inclade the instruction which is given to the people relative t what ia necessary to salvation ; the prayers of the church in a peculiar manner for the faithful; tha publication of festivals, fasts, banns of matrimony, holy orders, and other thinp concerning the discipline of the chorehv

consisting of a certain number of Paternosters
The practice of burning candles, or wax-tapers,
before the image of saints, the crucifix, and in
the churchea is of very ancient origin. In the
continental churches, the lamps are frequently
numerous, brilliant, and costly.
The Canonization of Saints takes place in the
Catholic church, on the proof, real or supposed, of miracles having been wrought at or by their relics.
The kissing of the Pope's toe originated in a
desire to exhibit profound hsmrlity and veneration for the successor and the cause of Christ;
from the notion, probably, that the more lowly

It will be sufficient to notice the most prevalent and noinerous.
The Benedictines were formerTy the great pre
servers and propagators of learning in the Chris
tian world but they are now greatly diminished
n number and influence. They follow what is
called the rule of St. Benedict, and were founded
about the year 529. They have somewhat re-
taxed their former austerity; they were once
obliged to perform their devotions seven times in twenty-fonr hours, and always walk two
together; they fasted every day in Lent, till six o'clock in the evening, and abated of their
nsaal time in earing, sleeping, Ate. Every monk of this Order has two coats, two cowls, a tablebook, a knife, a needle, and a handkerchief; and the furnitwe of hie bed formerly consisted of
only a mat, a blanket, a rug, and a pillow. To this Order the English owe their conversion ts the Christian faith from the darkness and superstition of Idolatry. They founded the metropolitan church of Canterbury, and all the lathed rale afterward erected. Otoe of this Order, Alcuisius, founded tbe University of Paris; Guido, a Benedictine, invented tbe scale of mu
sic;, and Sylvester the organ.
The Dominicians, also called Jacobins, and,
in this country, Black Friars, were at one time the most powerful supporters of the papal au
thorlty iotho-world.- They were rounded by
SI. Dominic, a cerebrated Spaniard, in the early
part of the 13th century, and still exist in France
and other eoumtriea. The principal object of
this Order was the extirpation of errer, and the
destruction of heretics. They came to England about th year I22T; and, in the year 1276, the
lord-mayor and aldermen gave them-two streets near the Thames; where they had a most magnificent monastery, no part of which now remains, but the place is still called Black Friars. Ia contradistinction to the Franciscans, the order ef St. Dominic maintain that the Virgin Mary was born without original sin. The modern term Jacobins was derived from
thia Order; and some of the first and most active

He had performed all the morning service, was offering the concluding prayer, and after uttering one or two sentences, fell backward and instantly expired. Our Church expended about $38,000 the last year in missions in Liberia, Oregon, South
America, China, California, and Germany, of
which $21,000 were appropriated to Liberia. Revival intelligence is very scant in oar Church exchanges for the last week. The annual catalogue of Alleghany College exhibits three hundred and eight students for the past year a larger number than ever before. Of two hundred and twenty-one now in attendance, one hundred are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and soma of the rest attached to other denominations.

Death mt Preaideat Tavlar. What was probability when our citizens retired to rest on Tuesday evening, was made certainty to (hem on Wednesday morning, soon after going to their several places of business, by a telegraphic dispatch announcing the President's death. And we have never seen a deeper or more general gloom, than that which settled opflfl the minds and darkened over the faces of meri, as the words General Taylor Is dead passed from mouth to mouth. The feeling at the sudden and untimely decease of the President ia not one of sorrow merely, but one in which mingle far other emotions, among which is that of fear for the future of our beloved nation. Alt feel and acknowledge that, nnder the peculiar circumstances of his election, the delicate natnre of the most prominent questions now before the national legislature, and
the excited state of feeling between the two sections of the Union, North and South, Zachart Taylor was a tower of strength, in the Presidential chair, sueh as hardly any other man could be, at a time like the present. And in that chair, if such a power has been needed aince the first years of the Republic, it is needed Row. "In the dark and troubled night that rests upon ns," through this dispensation of Providence, it is difficult, it is impossible, to turn in any direction with a certainty of finding light and peace. All feel this all acknowledge It and hence the despondency that mingles with the sorrow which rests upon every heart. What General Taylor could have done, under the peculiar train of circumstances to which we have referred, to settle existing difficulties, and pre. serve peace between the different sections of on Country, few other men, if any, will be found strong enough and bo'd enough to accomplish. But we must trust to the inherent good sense of the American people, of all sections, all parties, and sll classes, and to the better emotions and
wiser determinations of those who sit in high places, and are looked to as leaders. We are

Mr. Winthrop said it seemed to Him that the President having expressed his purpose to be here at 12 o'clock, it would hardly be more than respectful to aend a message by a committee, informing him that the House are ready. Mr. Morse accepted the modification.
Mr. Winthrop moved the appointment of a 1
committee of three to co-operate with such as may be appointed by the Senate, which was agreed to, and Messrs. Winthrop, Morse and Morehead were appointed the committee. The House then took a recess, and on re-as
sembling at noon a- message was received from
the Senate that they had appointed a committee
to wait on the President.
Judge Cranch came into the Honse accompa
nied by Mr. Morse and took a seat at the clerk's
desk. A few minutes elapsed when the Senators en

them standing. The Senators were seated in the area fronting the Speaker's chair. Every
