LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tus New St. Pararicn’s (Catnottc) Cuveca The Baltimore American of yesterday has some interesting details of the pian of this Church— probably obtained from the architect, Mr. Long, of that city—from which we take the follow- ing : “* The pian for the west front is a striking - imen of architectural richness. There are ‘three towers. with spires whose loftiness reared heav- enward, tapering with such exactness and with such harmony of proportions as will make the mind wander when beholding such an enormous stcucture. It has been well by the enterpris- jug authorities of the new church that Germany has her Cologne, France her Notre Dame, and England her York Cathedral ; but none a church with, for richness, size, considering the size. that will compare with that of St. Patrick’s, if ly constructed from the designs, and which f built of the stone spoken of, will last well nigh to the end time. The entrance through t towers may be considered as the most magnificent in the country. Steep pediment lines, ornament- ed with crotchets; the piers of the doorway on each side with columns, with bases having many smouldiags and sculptured foliage capitals, from which the arch hi airs the s) pediment and arch is filled with beautiful flow- ing tracery. The next series of height consist of # large triple window, rich in detail and beauti- ful when executed; the labels terminate at the | tops into beautifal finals, very bold ~: The centre portion of the front has twe en- trances, somewhat similar to those of the tower, but projecting further out and giving the charac- ter ofa poreh in gothic. The large windew above gives one of the most ee forms to the front, Which is 25 feet wide by 42 feet high, cov- ered witb a label which Sayers out into an ogle form. Above the window is decorated with or- naments, and terminating into a beautiful final, with a moulded cap, which serves as a jestal Over this is a canopy wherein is to be placed the statue of St. Patrick. The top of the niche fin- tshes with a cross reared from a final of exquisite design. The sides of the edifice are rich and fancifal, the buttresses having deep panels, i- ment caps, decorated and richly embellished pin- nacles, with finals. The windows to the aisle and elere story have columns with foliated = and labels profusely ornamented. The tracery in every window is of a different design, and the parapet on the aisle roof is not like that of the elere story. Atthe intersection of the nave and transept is the large square transept tower, of a costly design, 160 feet high. The entrances be- tween the towers are very deep. with panels and columns richly ornamented he large transept wisdow is of an unique design, having a rose window introduced with flowing trace: The label finish above the window is someth like the fronts, and it also re intoa seul cap, above which are mould! ing asa base for a statue of St. Paul. On the north side will be the statue of St. Peter. The opposite side. which is the north, is similar in ign tothe south. {talso hasan oratory and 3 sachristy, all in uniformity of fichness with other parts of the edifice. The one-half of a decagon, will have high windows, divided for religious emblematic pic- tures on stained glass. ‘* The interior next in consideration merits no- tice. uniformity of style so much as to render it ex- tremely monotonous, but the unity, simplicity, and harmony which prevails pleases the eye and satisfies the mind. The nave, of which the ceil- ing forms a direct line to the sanctuary. is 34 feet high, with long lines of clustered pillars on each side, with bold designed capitals, above which commences the groining of the ceiling. In the spandrils of the arches to the clere stories are niches having canopies. each one to contain a statue, numbering some eighteen in all. not jn- cluding those of the main altar, which have the twelve Apostles, &c. To the aisle the windows are beautifully embellished with tracery. The ceiling of the ee transept will, when executed. be surpassingly fine, with heavy bosses, bold rib- bing, seultared pendants, all hanging in archi- tectural taste. From below, on elther side to the entrances, are the larger transept windows. tended to be filled with Scriptural illustrations. ‘The next drawing shows the altars, one on each side, and again another altar one section back. There is also the large (sree altar. where sculp- ture, painting, and architecture are so combined as to mee 2 fine effect. The high windows above the altars of the sanctuary, with such fine | tracery and the stained glass which will adorn it, give additional effect. Next we notice the ceiling, which, with long traced pendants and its muiti- plicity of lines, make indeed a building worthy of that city. The edifice will be commenced without any delay, as it is the intention to build it complete in five or six years. Mr. Long, having received the contract, will superintend the ex- tensive work to compietion.”* Tux Rivex.—Several proprietors of fish land- ings, among whom are Messrs. Skidmere, Queen and Beasley, hearing of the late success of the haulers at the lower grounds, have gone down the river with seines and are gangs to try theirluck at late hauling. They hope to make a few good hauls of late shad to make up for the bad luck which they experienced ealier in the season. Gibson, at Stony Point landing, cut out on Sun- day mete after making a haul of 1,200 shad and | 10.000 herring. he Guy brought up 100 tubs of shad yesterday to the Alexandria wharf from the gillers. They ‘were taken by the agents of the Baltimoze buck- sters at prices ranging from $9 to $11 The Baltimore agents leave Alexandria to-day for the season Captain John Mitchell came up the river last night with a sloop load of fine oysters, which he breught from Cone river. He reports nothing new froin the fisheries The corn crop below is suffering from the at- tacks of the army worm. Some of the planters have had to new seed the fields two or three times since the first planting. The wheat in the fields on the bigh ground was blown off. leaving large pateles perfectly bare, and giving an appearance of barrenness to the fields. In the ravines and on the level portions of ground, however, the crop looks very well average cro The steamer Mount Vernon, which went to Al- exandrig@, yesteiday, for repairs, did not get hanled up in consequence of some part of the rail giving way.

The Sunday School of Gorsuch Chapel, went down the river to-day on a pic nie to Fort Wash- ington. The steamer George Washington is char- tered for the occasion, and when she started away from the wharf she seemed to be rather over- loaded. There must have been five hundred j= ple ou board, and such a merry party a is seldom seen. No doubt they will have a glorious time. Tue Wasuincton Mexxercnor, a German musical association, the Turner corps, and the Sing Verein, paraded on Monday through the Principal streets of Washington, and at night met at the Washington Assembly Rooms, where some interesting exercises took place, in connec- tion with a banner presentation to the association by the ladiex This banner, a very beautiful one. executed by Mr. Dempf, has on a white field, a figure repre- og the muse of music, and on the reverse Line tleld the inscription, ++ Mennerchor, Wash- ington. D.C , 185 surrounded by musical em- bLiems, wreaths, &e Al nine o'clock in the evening the three Associ- ations were formed in line, and inarched with the unfolded banner through the room to the plat- te m, where the *-Mennerchor’’ sung a stirring og. ‘The Patheriand,”’ composed by Marsh- vr, and *: ‘Phe Flag Song,’* by eh os ir, after whieh the banner was presented to the Associa- tion by Mrs. Anton, in the name of the ladies, ond a beautiful scarf was presented at the same time The President of the Asse-iation returned the thanks of the members, accompanied by some ap- propriate remarks, after which the *“Mannerchor” sang with the finest effect, “The Bund, or Union Chorus.’* with full orchestral accompaniments. Dancing was then entered upon, and kept u: with great spirit until the morning light fell upon the retreat of the happy party In the course of 2! night a fine supper, pre- pared by Messrs. Klotz & Co , was served up, at Which some cxpital toasts were yiven—among which the press was not forgotten. The happy remarks of our old friend. Mr. Stotfel, were re- ceived with yreat applause.

A musical performance—juvenile or otherwise—that can do so much, must be set down as above the ave - — times, sees public is familiar wi e formances of t! Teatest masters of mus: that'the world can afford” as Of course there is somewhat of a Ppre-disposi- tion in the minds of all rightly constituted minds to be pleased with the performances of children, but this will not account for the exceeding great | paws bmp the — have derived fron the Public school concerts given by Messrs. Glenro: and Daniel. The fact tas everytod has been s) 4 prised on finding the fact so completely demo strated, that the chiidren of the public schools as a body, are capable of coming to such musical proficiency as boy Dep done in the short time in which they have in training. We hope that an appropriation will be made at once for the establishment of music in our Public Sebools as a branch of instruction, and especially that the boys may come in for their share of mu- sical training. They are chock full and running over with song, as was evident last night when- ever some fascinating little miss on the platform was to be applauded ; but then some of their “‘ ex- plosive tones’’ were terribly uncouth, sometimes degenerating into a lar cireus whistle. little training in dynamics would develop all this repressed “power of song’? into something musical. We must not forget to mention that the satis- faction of the concert was greatly added to by the performance of Prof. Scheel upon a very superior semi-grand Hallet & Davis piano, kindty loaned by Ellis, from his music store. Tue Funerat of the lamented Dr. Chatles S. Frailey took place yesterday afternoon, trom his late residence on New York avenue, and was at tended by a very large concourse of People, in- eluding the Grand of the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ Orders, by several subordinate lodges.

ANotuER ContRipution.—The schooner Ara- bella, which arrived at New York on Saturday last from Aspinwall, New Granada, brought a contribution to the Washington monument, erect- ed at the federal city, in the shape of a block of stone from the Obispo guarry. he stone is the gift of the Panama Railroad Company; and it is forwarded in the name of the American residents at Panama, who contributed the necessary funds to have it properly dressed and inscribed.

Preparations for a grand demonstration were consummated at the anti-Know Nothing meeting at Potomac Hall, Seventh Ward, last night. The executive committee are fixing up a stand on the corner of Seventh street and Virginia avenue, of sufficieut dimensions to accommodate a large number of speakers, and have engazed the fine cornet band of Prof. Esputa to enliven the occa- sion. Several distinguished political speakers are to address the meeting. Reat Estate.—Yesterday the following prop- erty was disposed of by J.C.
