Matthew, Aposte, Evangelist and Martyr, was celebrated yoaterfay at St. M "6 Charch, corner ot H and Fifteenth streets, with greatsolemnity, Solemm High mass was ci brated by be assistant pastor, Rev. i Wolf, asdisted by two ef the ciergy from Georgetown College, and Rey. Father B. A. Meguire preached an excellent sermon upon the Apostolic snecession,#lluding to the yoca- top of St..Macthew, and the premptnere with which he responded to the cali of Our Sa- yiour. ‘The principal altar. as well as the shrines of the Apostle and the Virgin, were protusly dec- crated with flowers and lights, aod presented a beautiful appearance. The mass sung on sbis occasion was Mo: 's Twelfth, and the choit was largely augmented by a number of iadies and gentlemen who volunteered for the cccasion. There was alsoa full orchestral ac- companiment, in connection with the fine or- £8, @na the fine mass was never s0 well per- formed in this city as it was yesterday. The church was filled to overflowing. The following history of this parish will be read With interest : The corner-stone Of St. Matthew's Oharch, in the city of Washingion, was laid on tue 2ist of September, 183s, by the Most Rev. Arch- bishop Eccleston, in the presence of an im- mense concourse of people from all parts of the city. All our clergymen in this city and sev- eral trom Georgetown College on that day as- sembled at St. Patrick's Uhureb. where a dis- course was pronounced by Father Ryder; after Which a procession was formed, headed by the arine jand, and marched to the spot where the church pow stands, and the corner-stoue Was laid by the Arebbisbop. The church was erected under the direction of a business com- mittee. composed of the following gentlemen: Thomas Carvery, Jobn Queen, Ignatius Mudd, and Jos. Harbaugh. The building progressed slowly, and it was not dedicated until the 2ist of September, 1840. That ceremony was per- formed by Archbishop Eccleston, on which occasion Dr. Moriarty, ef Philadelphia, preached. The day was delightful. The whole <ity seemed to have turned ont to witness the ceremony. The music was performed by St. Patrick's choir. The organ previously pur- chased by Father Donelan was not in order, and could not be used. A piano was substi- tuted. The Rey. John P. Donelan was appointed first pastor, and remained as snch until Sep- tember, 1846, when he was transferred to St. ‘Vincent's Caurch, Baltimore, The church was consecrated by Archbishop Eccleston on the 15tb of May, 1442. After the consecration of the church, a pontifical mass was celebrated by Bishop Fenwick, of Boston, anda sermon Pronounced by the Very Rev. Dr. Power, of New York. The Bishop of New York, Right Rev. Dr. Du Bois, was present in the sap otuary. The Rey. James B. Donelan succeeded his brother Jobu P. Donelan, and continued his office antil December, 1855, when he resigned, and became assistant pastor to Rev. John Byrne. Previous to the appointment of Dr. ]_yrne as pastor, he was assistant pastor, and pronounced his first sermon in the church on th of October, 18 Dr. Byrne remained pastor until 1867. Waile Father James Done- n W&S pastor be purchased a new organ, erected the steeple, put up the bell, introduced he Christian Brothers into the city, and opened day school for boys in the basement of the chureb. During the pastorate of Father Byrne, he added the preseut sanctuary to the church, and erected the marble altarand tabernacle, andadded a large numberof pews. Rev. MLr. ‘aldron became assistant pastor in July, 1557. Rev. Dr. White was appointed pastor in November, 1557, and Rev. Jonn McNally be- came his assistant in October, 1859. Since the accession of Rev. Dr. White to the pastorship, an iron railing was put up around the church, and the building covered with a slate roof, which was found to be absolutely necessary. The Portico aud steps in front of the church, which were in @ ruinous condition, were re- newed first in wood, and a few years after- rerds & substantial marble and granite por- 0 Wa= erected at considerable expense. At ¢ same time, about three years ago, the base- ment of the eburch was much enlarged and improved, at a cost of three thousand dollars. in 1559 the splendid paipit, which will bear comparison with anything of the kind im the United States, was placed in the church, as well asa baptismal font in marble, enclosed with an iron railing As an appendage to this part of the sacred edifice, a fine oil painting, representing the baptism of our Saviour by St. John the Baptist, has been introduced—the work of the distinguished artist Bramedi whose genius and skill in the decoration of the Capitol of the United States are universally known. Two years St. Matthew's Church was newly frescoed, and its interior orna- mentation enbanced. About the commence- ment of the Jate war a school-house for boys was erected, and another establishment dedicated to the instruction of girls. St. Ann's Infant Asylum for foundlings was commenced at the same time, and this with the girls school was placed under the charge of the Sisters of Charity. We learn that the boys’ school in St. Matthew's parish is about to be placed under be charge of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Besides these improvements, within afew years past, the pastoral residence of St. Matthew's has been considerably enlarged, and bears some little proportion to the spacious and elegant buildings which grace that portion of the national metropolis. The Rev. John McNally having been ap- ‘pointed pastor of St. Stephen’s Charch, now im course of erection in the First Ward, Rev. Desiderius De Wolf is the present asaistant of Dr. White, at St. Matthew's. Within the last eighteen months a fine school-house has been erected within St. Matthew's parish for the colored Catholics, in which schools are hela and divine service regularly performed on Sundays and holidays. Rev. F. Barott: is pastor of this colored congregation. Thus three parishes have been organized out of the original parish of St. Matthew’s. —— PROTRACTED MgeTINGs.—The revival of religion which has been in progress at Ham- dine E. Church for several weeks still con- tinues, and the interest is on the increase, the Altar being crowded nightly, and the congre- zations overflowing. During the present week Rev. M. Wood, a noted revivalist from New England, has been assisting the pastor, Rev Mr. Hoover, at those meetings and last night preached @ powerful sermon. A love-feast was held yesterday afternoon, which was targely attended, and an invitation being given to persons to upite with the church, 15 were received on probation. A spirited revival is also in progress at DMcKendree Ubapel, in charge of Rev. Wm. Kribs, and large and attentive congregations are present nightly, while many penitents are at the altar. A number of conversions have already been reported and there is every pros- pect that this will be a meeting resulting in jarge accessions to the membership of the burch. A very interestmg revival meeting is in progress at Waugh Chapel, on Capitol Hill, which is in charge of the pastor, Rey. G. G. Markham, and a number of conversions have already been reported. epg Sek DirgicuLty at TevTonia HaLi.—A dis- urbanee occurred at Teutonia Music Hall, on Pennsylvania avenue, between 9th and 10'R streets, on Saturday night, between a number of perseee) known ret tively as the «Long Bridge” and “Second Ward” boys. during which the free use of chairs and other furni- ture was indulged in. An ugly feud, it seems, as existed on the part of these factions for some time past, and whenever they meet a figbt is apt to ensue. The fight of orday night was a violent one, and it mot been for the timely interference of the police, serious consequences might have ensued. Lieut. Hur- dle, and officers Auldridge, Barkley, Snelly, Acton, and Hughes, of the Third Ward, ar- rested William and Isaac Frances, Jacob and Robert Belt, John t Somes ter and Henry Pul- jen, and took them to the lock-up. Justice Chepin fined the Iast-named $1, and Justice Harper fined the others $2 each. Love Feast.—The quarterly love feast for Ryland Chspel (the first since its re-dedica- tion) was heid yesterday afternoon, at which were present a large number of the congrega- tion and members of other churches. The Presiding Elder of Washington District, Rev. N. J. B. Morgan, was present, and the meeting was & successful a. ‘The pastor of this charch, Rev. Dr. "Wm. Hamilton, will this year complete bis Miftieth year as an itenerant ‘minister. during which He hs several times filled the most important charges in the limits of the Baltimore Conference, including the presiding eldership of several districts. Lt is likely that at the Spprosening Conference he ‘will ask to be left without an appointment. ° Rrorove Coxpuct._Wm.

Mr. Howlett, Mong Shau Loo, 8’ Burmese, and a convert tothe cause of Christianity, was introduced by the Rey. S. H. Murick, and adaressea the congre- gation, giving an interesting account of his sojourn in this country, and speaking of the customs of the Burmese Empire and the con- dition of the inhabitants. He has received a collegiate education in Qleveland, Ohio, and theological instruction m Lewisburg, Pa, and now intends to return to his own country asa missionary among his countrymen. The speak- er, in his remarks, stated that the inhabitants of Burmah numbered 3,000,000, believing in a false religion, built upon superstition and ig- norance. They held to five commandments— «Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shall not steal;” “Thou shalt not commit adultery;” «Thou and ~Thoau shalt not drink in- toxicating drinks.’” The salntation between the inbabitants was not “How do you do!” but “Where are you going?” When leaving a house they would say, “Iam going,” and the reply would be “Go.” When two, male and female, were seen eating out of the same dish, it was conclusive evidence that they were married, for that was all the required ceremony. The husband was obliged to work three years, three months, and three days for his father-in-law betore he could take his wife to his own house, and even then the wife not change her maiden name. He spol some length regarding the funeral ceremonies ot his country, and of bis father, who was in- terpreter to the celebrated Dr. Judson. He intended to work for the spiritual weltare of his countrymen and teach them the doctrines of Christianity; he had been in this country nearly ten years, and though he should leave iG with sadness, he longed to see his triends at ome. Tue RIcHINGs TrovrE aT St. ALoysivs CuvRcH.-Yesterday afternoon Mesers. Arnold, Wylie and Bernard, of the Richings opera troupe, attended St. Aloysius Church and as- sisted the choir there at Vespers. A very large congregation was present it having been un- derstood that those gentlemen would attend. Madame Kretschmar, Mr. Chase, and the other t™members of the choir were present and the music was grand. Prof. Harry Sherman pre- sided at the organ. “O Salutaris” by Madam Kretschmar and Mr. Arnold was rendered in excellent style. Father Stonestreet delivered a short but in- teresting sermon upon Obristian duties, which was listened to with marked attention. A portion of the troupe will be in the choir next Sunday, and no doubt the church will be crowded again. * peer THe REMOVAL OF THE PRNITENTIARY Bor.prne.—On Saturday last bids were open- ed at Gen. Ramsey’s office, at the arsenal, for taking down the old penitentiary building, clearing the old materials, &c. There were forty-two bids opened, of which the lowest ‘was $7,500, from J. T. Stoekbridge, and the bigheet $41,214.72. The most of the bids rang- ed from $9,000 to $30,000, that of Mr. W.

Noth- ipg is more revolting or poisonous to the hu- man system than decayed oysters, and the offi- cer whose duty it is to inspect them cannot be too particular in interdicting the sale of such, ‘whenever they are thrown upon the market. = Brpa Orgwgp.—At noon to-day bids were opened at the Mayor's office for building § bridge across the stream at 7thand EB streets, according to the plan and specifications of the City Surveyor.

PRizt FIGHT EXTRAORDINARY—A singular rize fight took Pe Oper at Berry's oods between John Ward and a gentieman whoeelis horse-radieh at Center Market, known ‘as “Fatty.” They are both hefty” individ- uals, and according to the rules of the prize ring are duly entitled to rank as ‘heavy weights.” It seems that lately a difficulty oc- curred between Messrs. Ward and Fatty at a ball in South Washington, lovely woman, as usual, being at the boitom.of the difficulty. They were not allowed to fightitout atthe ball, as they were inclined to do, and they agreed to settle their dfficmtigs by & fight pugilistic at Berry’s Woods, at3 p. m. yeater- @ay. Both ‘ues were prompuy on the ground. Both looked in prime condition when stripped to their shirtsleeves, but Fatty seemed 8 trifle too beefy. . Fatty won the choice of cor- ners. Seconds were duly appointed, and a select party of spectators squatted themselves upon the grass to see the. mill. Faity was awarded first blood, and Wsrd the first knock down in the secondround. On the thirdronnd Fatty came up looking game, but.very much distressed, blowing like @ foundered horse, aud’ sweating about a gallon tothe minute. Ward came up smiling and confident, and hit Fatty a stinger on the snoot that sent him heavily to grass, from which, after a season, he raised himself, looking very much astonished. He failed to come to time when the next round Was called, and the victory was awarded to Ward: the three rounds having been fought in exactly thirty minutes. Fatty has challenged Ward to repeat the fight, and says when he has reduced his weight a couple of hundred pounds he can lick him, by thunder! THE Guost CarTtuRED.—This morning, as Mr. Clark (of tne Botanical Garden) and Mr. Jerome Uallahan were walking near the south- western border of the ‘den, they diseovered ‘8 large red fox lurking in the border shrubbery, and at once set_up a lively chase for its cap- ture,which was joined in by all the men about the place, reinforced by @ number of dogs. Reyvard led them a smart chase around the inclosure, following the border closely, but not attempting to jump the fence. The people on the avenue could see a tremendons chase going on inside the garden, after some object invisible to them, and the report was preseatly im circulation tha! the unseen object of the chase was nothing less than the ghos hatis reported to take a nightiy airing in the Bocani- cal Garden. This induced quite a ively climb- ing of the fence on the part of those too impa- tient to go round to the gate. One stout old fellow, weighing four or five hundred pounds, under the excttemeut of the moment managed to litt Dimeelf to the top of the fence, and stays there yet. After a hard chase, one of the dogs got hold of the fox, and one of the gardeners placed & pitchfork over nim, helding him antil & box was procured, in which he was placed. it isthe largest fox ever seen in this part of the country, and there is considerable speculation ‘whether he is a wild animal or one that bas escaped irom a cage. etme MARBLE FRONT.—Two handseme marble front buildings, the Property of Mr. William Higgins, of the firm of Berry & Higgins, mar- ble cutters, is in process of erection on Seventh street, between k andG.
