The splendid edifice called ‘frinity Church, now ‘in the course of erection in Broadway, is so far ad- vanced, that the workmen have cominenced putting the rafters on for the roof, and the tower has pro-! gressed about 100 feet high. But before we enter into a descriptiou of this beautiful building we will give a slight history of the Corporation of Trinity’ Church, and their various edifices. In the early days of the Colony of New York,the | members of the Protestant Episcopal Church (:hen known as the Church of England in America,) first held stated religious service in this city, ina chapel attached to a fort which stood near the ; resent Bat- | tery. In this place, under the Datch administration, the service of the Church of Holland had been per- | formed. On the surrender of the colony of New York to the British, in 1664, the service of the Church of England—it being a government esta- blishment—was, of course, introduced. The con- gregation, however, increasing, Trinity Church was founded on the spot where the present church is building in 1696, in the reign of William and Mary. The Rector, the Rev. William Vesey, afterwards, and for many years, the Bishop of London’s Com. missary, first performed divine service in it, Februa- ry 6, 1697, It was originally a small, square edifice; and was enlarged at the east end in 1735, and again on the north and south sides in 1737. Its length was then, including the tower and chancel, one hundred and forty-six feet, its width seventy-two feet, and the steeple one hundred and eighty feet high. The steeple was struck by light- ning in the summer of 1762 ; but little damage, how- ever, was done. On the twenty-first of September, 1776, in the memorable fire which laid waste so great a pertion of the city, this venerable and ma- jestic edifice was destroyed. It lay in ruins during the remainder of the Revolutionary war, and was replaced by the recent structure, which was con- secrated by the Right Rev. Bishop Provost, in 1791. This building was inferior in size to the first one; being one hundred and four feet long, and te two wide. The steeple was about the same height as the old one; but stood on the east instead of the west end, as was the case with the former church, and is still the case with Saint Paul’s Ghapel; this method having been adopted with the view of bringing the chancel, and the great altar-window, agreeably to ancient ideas of propriety, on the east end. The style of the building was plain Gothic, It had galleries on the two sides, and on the east end, a part of the last ot which formed the organ loft, in which was placed a fine organ, built in Lon- don soon after the church was finished. The galle- ries were supported by square pannelled columms ; directly over each of which rose a clustered Gothic column of the roof. The ceiling consisted of three arches over the nave, and one over each gallery.— From the centre arch were suspended three large andelegant cut glass chandeliers, and four smaller ones under each gallery. The windows were long, finished at the top with the pointed Gothic arch, and glazed with very small panes. The Commu- nion table was placed against the western wall of the church ; and above wasone of the largest win- dows in the United States. It was Gothic, with three comoartments, and contained one thousand and thirty-nine panes of glass. The desk and pulpit were directly in front of the chancel, without the rails. The church was ornamented with a number of handsome marble monuments, among whiel: were one to the memory of General Alexander Hamilton, and one to that of the late Jacob Sher- red, Esq., the munificent patron of the Episcopal Theological Seminary and the beautiful and chaste statue of Bishop Hobart. The cemetery in which the church erected, is one of the most ancient in the city, having been the resting place of successive genera- tions for upwards of one hundred and thirly years. A few fine old trees on the street ana grounds near the church added to the beautiful and impressive appearance nee from she mye and proportions ot the building. The number of these trees has of late diminished, by the decay of several of them from some unknown cause. hers, however, and more than an equal number, have been aaded, ich in due time may be expected to contribute their full effect. The front view of the b ilding, from Wall street, was very generally admired, The steeple contained a ring of eight fine bells at one time, which have been distributed to various churches throughout the country. Sueh is the history of the first two churches con neczed with the parish of St. Trinity. The one bnilt in 1696-7, and destroyed in 1776; the other built in 1790-1, and pulled down in 1839. ‘rhe fol- was few dollars. The church stained glass brought from Germany, and thatis a disgrace to the cry. ‘There are thirty-four other principal windows inthe bedy of the churei, each with two mullions divided by a transom near the centre, and tracery in the upper part. All the trace- ry and mullions are of the same kind of stone as the body of the buliding, and the frames for the glass will be of metal. ‘The interior is very beautiful, aad resembles the inside of Worcester Cathedral, in gland, only it is smaller, and has no transcript. The walls and pillars inside, and indeed the whole interior, are of Jinished stone, the same as outside, which will have a magnificenteflect. ‘The root is vaulted, and lined with stucco work, (it ought to have been a stone roof) with moulded ribs bosses. ‘Phe appear- ance of the interior, when completed, will be gra: d indeed, from the great length and heighth of the nave. At the entrance from the tower to the nave, there is to be a stone screen, beautifully sealptured, on which will be placed the organ. The commu nion tab of course, will be under the chancel window. "The pulpit will be placed against one ot the large pillars, about half way down the nave, after the tashion of the old English and French Ca- thedrals. ‘The pews will be of carved black walnut, and placed in the body of the church. At present, itis decided to have no galleries, and no seais in the side aisles. The stone is said to be wlerably durable, and it has been laid wath a great deal of judgment in the same position as itwas found in the nataral beds, so that when it decays it must be on the edges, and cannot flake off hike veneeriug. But we think there are two detects in the-ehurch, Gne is the want of flying buttresses, and the other is over the arcu ot the main door; the defect isin the lines—the upper line following the line of the arch; the lower line seems ty act wits a lever power and destroys its ap- pearance of strength. There ought to have been a horizontal lige, almost immedia-ely over the termi- nus of the archol the door. We hope there wil be asplendid mesaic pavement to the whole building. We find that 13 square feet of tie stone weighs a ton, and aller calculating the dimensions of the build church, and gives a concise history of the princi- pal even s connected with bott D. O.

This is the inscription on the tablet; and this brings lowa to the history of the parish and its rectors. | ‘Trinity churet is the parish-church of the parish of that name, which contains also St. Paul’s chape ected in 1766, and St. John’s, erected in 1807. Si George’s charch was also formerly a chapel. ~Tn- nity church is under the pastoral charge of a Rector and two assistant ministers. The first of these offi- ces isheld by the Rev. Wm. Berrian, D. D., and the last by the Rev. H. Y. Higbee and the Rey. J. M. Wainwright, D. D. Divine service is uniformly ce- lebrated in Trinity Church and St. John’s chapel, not only at the usual hours on Suaday, but also on the morning of every Wednesday and Friday, and of every festival and holiday, ot the Protestant Episco- pal Charch. ; Notwithstanding the antiquity of the parish, th present rector is oaly the eighth that has held that ofl His predecessors are the Rev. Wm. Ve: from Rev. Henry Barelay, D. to 1764; Rey. Samuel Auchmuty, D. D., 1764 to 1777, Rev. Charles Inglis, D. D., Catterwards Bishop of Nova Scotia,) 1777 to 1783; the Right Rey. Sam’! Provost, D. D., from 1783 to 1800; the Rev. B. Moore, D D. (atterwards Bishop of New York,) from 1800 to 1816; Rey. J. H, Hobart, D. D. (afterwards Bishop of New York,) from to 1830. Of the above, all except Mr. Vasey, Dr. Barclay and Bishop Provost, were previously assistant ministers In addition to whom, besides its present incumbents, the foliowing gentlemen at different times have beld that office :—Kev.

D, (now Bishop of Connecticut;) the Rev. Henry Anthon, D. D.; Rev. F. Schroeder, D. D., and the present Bishop of the Diocese, B. T. Onderdonk, D. D. Among the communion plate belonging to this pa- rish are several articles presented by William and Mary, and Queen Ann, and others with the initials G,R. There are also a few artieles from private donors, and among these two plates presented by a lady, on Christmas day, 1718. We come now to the history and description of the charch now building, and of which the above is amost admirable representation, from a drawing made by the talented artist Richard Upjohn, Exq. It will be remembered by many that in 1838 and 1839 great alarm was felt about the durabiliy of Trinity Church—the 1o0of was said to be falling,and the congregation deserted it. Inthe spring of 1839, it was decided to pull the old building down, and on examining, the bases of the wooden columns were found so much deeayed as to have given way three orfourinches, and had the church not been taken down, it would have fallen shordy with a fearful } crash. ih In October, 1839, the present beautifal edifice was | commenced; and although it was hoped that five years would be sufficient to complete it, it is now almost tain that itwill not be ready for conse- eration until May or June, 1846 It is built of old red sandstone, of a very fine tone and color, and admirably adapted for the Gothic style of architec- tore. The sandstone is brought froma new quarry, opened for the purpose at Little Falls, New out of a great many specimens examined fe mirpose. The cost will be over $500,000. lowing will be the precise dimensions of the church when completed :— Ft. In.

The style of architecture we have said is pure Go- thie—not of the Tudor style, with the depressed three centre arch of Henry the seventh’s time, but the pointed Gothic; the first instance on record of which we find in Tattershall chureh, Lincolnshire, erected about the year 1455. Nearly allthe win- dows are equilaterals of the perpendicular Gothic order—the very perfection of this style of architec ture. There is a cut moulding finish to the embra- sures, and the pinnacles, as seen in the engraving, are in accordance with the architecture of the same age. The chancel window, which is the largest in the building, is 44 feet high and 28 feet wide ; it has 14 compartments, which are to be filled with stain- ed glass, containing the twelve apestles, the Virgin and child, This glass, we regret to say, to the dis- grace of the trustees, and to the dishonor and injury of the New York artizans, is to be brought from Ger- lowing inscription is on a marble slab in the office of the architect, Mr. Upjohn. taken out of the last many, of aninferior quality, for the sake of saving a ing, we find that the tower weighs 6034 tons, and the stone of the whole building will weigh over 31,000 tons: ‘To obtain this there must be 60,000 tons taken out of the the quarry.

Ruckles, law deputy Keeper ol the Peuitentary. ‘Ine said Kuckics hus uot appeared ts court, and Mr. &. made motion fur an attachmentto be issued against him, which was ordered. Mr. Parrensos then rose and addressed the court at considerabie length, stating the Charges which have been made ogainst the resporuent, and We circumstances by which he expected to prove them. The charges are that Mela Parker conspired with two other magistruces (Messrs Matsell aad Stevens) and other persons to discharge co victed vagrants, and to procure them {« voto at the el tion, they uot being legally entitled to do so—that the dil charges given to the deputy keeper were not filled u and were ante-dated. ‘The material facts, he said, we these :—The magistrates discharged persons whom they were not legally authorized to discharge—that in the three weeks between the 20ch March and Lith April, 1962, 71 persons were discharged Whose terms of sentence had not expired, being about one-third of all that had been discharged in the previous four years—they wete pot taken from the prison and landed, as usual, on the oppo- site Side, but they were brought away at night in secresy, ed in divisions and squads to the lower part of thecity. When the boats could not accommodate any more an omnibus was hired, which took the remainder from the foot of 60th st., who were brought down town and deposi edinone of the wateh houses—from there to the ce of a Sunday officer—and thence to vote at thi tion. ‘The others were quartered in the 4th, 7th and 8th Wards, were fed, lodged, clothed, and received moncy— they were taken into those wards where the election w closest, andemployed to defeat the will of the voters of those wards, ‘There was a selection of men made at Blackwell’s Island—it was done ata particular time end immediately provious to the discharge—one of the men on the island went round the isiand with pen and paper taking down names—on the Lith April he wentinto the hospital and selected from there, 10 or 12 meu—one of them (a man named Lacy) fell down and died next @ay—that one of the magistrates was frequently on the island immediately pre- vious to these discharges. taking place. It must be re- membered, he said; that these 71 men were not discharged atdifferent times, but,in fact, on the night of the 1th April, und that they had been kept on the island till that time—it would not have looked well that the documents of discharge should appear as if they had been discharged altogether. The discharges were in different hand wri- ting—they were not filled up by the magistrates nor by the clerks at the Police office. ‘The discharges were ante dated, and, intwo instances, by an oversight, dated on Sunday, when no such business is done at the Police office excepton very particular occasivns. Persons sen- tenced to six months imprisonment were liberated after a few days confinement, and one of the 70, (a man named Jas. Deery) was so on a discharge dated even before his con- viction—andthe discharges were indiscriminate in their character—these meu, taken from the hospital, or libera- tedin many cases, after a confinement of cight or ten days, were discharged and brought down, and the parties implicated would find difficulty in explaining it—many of them voted three or four times, as we shall show, and how many more we do not know. A list had been sent to Mr. Parker of seven or eight discharges, and he handed it back to the messenger with the significant remark," this is not for political purposes” It these things can be shown, it will be impossible for the Court to get rid of th conclusion thatthere wasa conspiracy to dischage thet risoners, aud cause them tobe brougat to New jegally to vote. Mr. Patterson then strong a to the coust—in every other country, he said, eac known when he comes to the polls, but in this countr, and in this Star particular, the franchise is #0 ex- tended that its purity should be regarded with the most jealous care. The charges against these magistrates are sovere, and the punishment, on conviction, will be hard, depriving them of their offices ; but it is not right, on the other hand, that their conduct should be allowed to sap the very foundation of onr elective privileges—the mem- bers may have their personal feelings, but the firmness which they have hitherto displayed, will doubtless again be exercised—they will afford perfect justice to all par. in their decision, if necessary, “ not that they less, but that they love Reme more”—all per+ of whatever character it might be, would be Appointed, said Iseek only what Tafiexi: ‘ork il al love © sonal bi dismissed from the bosoms of the judges Mr. P., to perform the duty assigned ney is proper connected with the dictates o! firm and justice. vom Parrerson then proceeded to call his witnesses.

He read the discharge of Peter Adams, committed by Justice Merritt, on the Jist of December, and released by Alderman Timp- son.

He said the court had ordered the names of the four Aldermen to be struck ont, and he insisted that ev to them could m admitted on the trial. Judge Ucsto: —The rule is that the acts and de- f conspirators may be given in evidence after y has been proved. Mr. O’Cownen replied, in favor of the evidence being re: ceived. He thought if they could show that these seven. ty men were discharged by seven different individuals that they were kept toa certain time—that they were bani ed and brought at ogether into the city, placed in particu. lar cellars, and furnished with meat and drink at the ex- pense of those bringing them down—that proof would be exhibited of a conspiracy --suppose they could show these discharges to be ante-dated, all'signed by one of other o! these seven, and yet filled up in adifferent and unknown handwriting —-sappose we show adeclara\ion on the part of Mr. ’arkor, that he considered it_perfeotly proper that the (w8 he called them) shoul be permitted to Price Pwo Cents, be discharged and vote at an election—is justice soblind that it cannot perceive these meu to haveacted in viola- tion of law— because conspiracy hides its head and works only in darkness, is the law to be deteated?’ We show acts, And are we not to present the individuals that caused them? Mr O'Conner made farther remarks, by Mr. Patterson on the same side. Mr. Baavy then rose, andin @ length, contended that the acts of the four Aldermen could not be ved in evidence on the trial.
