Annexed will te found an account of the adminis- tering of this sacrament of the Catholic church, by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Quebec. in one of the churches of that city ; and on Thursday we witness ed this interesting ceremony in St. Peter's church, Barclay street, which commenced at niue o'clock in the morning and did not concinde till twelve at noon. A procession, probably cousisting of two hundred boys and young mea, fii t entered the church, under ‘the direction of a priest, who seated them in the pews on the left of the middie aisle ; they were all neatly dressed, and conducted theuwselves with the utmost decorum. Anvcther procession followed, com- posed of females, chiefly young women, who must have numbered two hundred and fifty, and wh» were i Fie rH : i F i BEES TEE coup d’eil at this moment was delightful in the extreme, and was at once simple and imposing: Directly beneath where I sat, was the venerable late in act of celebrating mass; around him, in a kneeling attitude, were the attendant priests,—each stationed in such a manner as to give the best effect to the scene. Two others stood just within the rail- ing of the chancel, about to distribute the sacra- mental bread to the trustful beings who were pros- trate before them, and beyond and occupying the different aisles, were the advancing processions. At this interesting moment, the on poured forth the national air of “‘ God save the Queen; ”’ the females conduoted to the pews on the right of the aisles by a | singing the hymn to the Virgin, commencing with— nun, who was clad in black, while they, with searce | an exception, were dressed in the purest white, wear | ing veils of the same color, thrown over the bead, thus displaying to consideravlc advantage a uumber of decidedly pretty face The Archbishop, carrying his pastoral crook and wearing his mitre, and a beautifully embroidered cloak, soon after entered the chancel, accompanied by his priests and attendants, who,after having pros” trated pimself at the altar, delivered a brief and ap- propriate address to the candidates before him, in which he reminded them that they had been in- structed as to the nature and efficacy of the sacra- ment which they were about to receive, which, by the imposition of hands and by prayer, would reader them consistent Christians and devoted soldiers of Jesus Christ, who had devised it as a means by which that supernatural strength is obtained that comes trom Ged, and which, if they were faithful, would en- able them to make a corresponding display of their profession by their future lives and conversation—to maintain, and, if necessary, to die for it—and which required the aid of God. Hence the rite of confirma- tion, which the Saviour has appointed, in which the Holy Spirit is communicated to the recipients. He trusted, he said, they were fally prepared for ita reception; and, having received it, he advised them to let this be the commencement of a life in ac- cordance with what is due to God. He enjoined them to be attentive to religion—to be on their guard against bad society, and, by prayer and con- Tession, to prepare themselves for the holy commu- anion; and to become what the sacrament of confirm- ation was meant to make them—trne and perfect Christians and faithful soldiers of Jesus Christ. He concluded by urging them, during the time in which it would be administered, to be as collected as possi- ble; and desired that God would fill their hearts with his nce while partaking of the sacrament which was to follow. They were then commanded to kneel, while a brief service took place at the altar. The Archbishop having taken his seat in front of the altar, the boys advanced. two of them at a time, kneeling before , and delivering their tickets toa riest on each side. The Archbishop having con- them in the usual mauner, the priests applied the sacred oil, and they retired to make room for the others, who followed in succession. Then came the females, who advanced in procession down the aisles. During the performance of this ceremony, some chil- dren in the organ-loft sang appropriate hymns in | the most simple and happy style. The Archbishop | then returned to the altar, and resumed the appro- priate services. These being finished, two young girls, wearing a wreath of fiowers round the head—the first who were dvanced to the foot of the altar, each bearing a lighted taper, while a fine boy, appa- | rently about twelve years of age, stationed between them, read a short address in behalf of the other idates, e: ive of gratitude to God for his mercies, refe to the new obligations which they had , and asking pardon of God for any offences of which they might have been guilty, and of their pastors, parents, tutors and companions, for any misconduct on their part of which the for- ‘had reason to complain, and promising to live future on terms of amity with their neighbors. The Archbishop, having robed himself in the habi- Jiments of a priest. proceeded to celebrate mass; at | n: the conclusion of which, those who had been con- firmed knelt in front of the railing—the boys and nen first, and afterwards the females—when the second communion was administered by the Arch- bishop, assisted by one of the priests, each recipient receiving a piece of consecrated bread—all ing their obeisance as they retired from the altar. The Archbishop having disrobed, all the priests re- tired except one, who advised the communicants to | return home immediately after leaving the church, and to behave with the utmost decorum on their way | thither; immediately after which the congregation | i |, and those who had just been confirmed left in the same order as they entered. Among these ‘were a number of elderly persons. It will be observed that the recipients of the rite were of a more mature age than those who partook of it at Quebec, and the | ceremonies of the day differed from those observed at | St. Roche, the candidates at St. Peter's Church hay- ing been confirmed before receiving the second com- miunion, while at the former they took the second communion before being confirmed; bat in no par- ticular were the proceedings on the present occasion leas interesting, or less calculated to excite the most delightful emotions, to awaken solemn feelings, or to purify the heart OUR QUEBEC CORRESPONDENCE. Quepec, May 24, 1853. The Roman Catholic Churchin Canada—First and | Second Communion and Rite of Confirmation— | Contented and Comfortable Circumstances of the People—Different Course Pursued by the British Government with Reference to Canada and Ire- land, &c. About a month since, the first communion was ad- ministered to a large number of young people—pro- | bably eight or nine hundred—at the Roman Catho- | lic church in St. Roche’s suburbs, and also in the upper town, and everywhere in the streets during the day, and for the remainder of the week, children of from nine to thirteen or fourteen years of age—the | boys neatly dressed, and wearing white gloves and | favors, and the girls dressed in the purest white, and yearing a long veil, of the same color, thrown over a peat little muslin bonnet and descending behind pimost to the feet, revealing the ruddy, healthful, and | }appy countenances of childhood—were everywhere Jo be met with. Unfortunately I had not been made aware that the Jeremony was to take place, but kept a careful look out for the second communion, and the confirmation which accompanies it; and learning that these rites } were to be administered on Thursday last, I took | care to be at the Church of St. Roche that morning before six o’clock—the hour appointed for assem” | bling — conceiving that the buil ling would be crowded to excess, the number of persons who attend at the | different services on Sundays being estimated at ten thousand. In this expectation, however, I was dis- appointed, owing. probably, to the cold rain storm which prevailed, as there was but a thin attendance of spectators in the galleries, the body of the church | being appropriated for the accommodation of the you fal yotaries of religion. At a few minutes past six the Bishop entered | from the rear of the altar, accompanied by eight or nine priests and other attendants, wearing surplices— one of whom carried the pastoral crook, another a ; staff surmounted bya gilt crovs, and a third the mitze suspended before him—who assumed their stations on the right and left of the altar. The | » priests assisted the prelate to robe and disrobe, pre- | senting everything in the most respectful manner, | and which he saluted with a holy kiss. Simultaneous with the entering of the Dishop, a procession of boys and another of females, dressed | mainder of the pew made as already described, and which had been formed | at the nunnery opposite the charch, made their ap- | pearance at the opposite extremity of the building, | and down the central aisles, took possession ow pews on either cide, with the greatest order and regularity, under the direction of tue nina, who | branch of the proceedings with | much tact and an unmistakable air of authority. | The number of females [ estimated at about three | handed and sixty — that of the boys might be | paimated at two hundred and fifty. being iu readiness, the Bishop com- celeb.ating high mass.

When the communion had been dispensed to those who were kneeling, they rose and retired, passing in front of the others immediately in their rear, who then advanced and occupied the space thus made vacant; their places being supplied by the ne | procession. ceremony occupied probably | an hour, when the Bishop, wearing his mitre, ascend- ed the sore delivered his in French, which I considered rather long, considering the ten- der age of those to whom it was ostensibly addressed.

Geen’s Hartrorp Ciry Diszcrory For 1853-4. —wWe have received a CRY, of the sixteenth annual issue of this very useful book. It is published year- nessed on this occasion, and perhaps there is more | to approve in thus dedicating the child in early life to the service of its God than may at first be ap- | parent. One fact cannot be disputed in connection | with this subject—the Roman Catholic popu- | lation of Lower Canada are remarkable for | their amiable, correct, and inoffensive de- | meanor, which is doubtless to be attributed to | the religious education and moral training of the | youthful ete of each succeeding generation. It | is probably in this way that a wise and beneficent ar- rangement of Providence is best effected, and a large and numerous class of persons are brought under that control and direction which ensures the punc- tual performance of duties that have been enjoined inearly life. On every Sunday, in St. Roche’s suburbs, | where I am at present residing, the inhabitants of | which are, with few exceptions, French Canadians, I see before me some or four thousand human pee , contented and happy, who have assembled to | ip their Creator in the manner which they | have been taught is most acceptable, who, but for the lessons of piety thus inculcated, would for the | most part “ neither fear God nor regard man.” The number of well clad boys, and the appropri- ate, uniform and tasteful dress of the females, evinced a very gratifying assurance as to the pecu- jary circumstances of their parents, most of whom are in humble life; and the spontaneous perform- | ance—spontaneous on the part of the priest, who has | affixed it tothe hymn to the Virgin—of the national air, during the services of the morning, spoke vol- | umes in favor of a Protestant nation that has gov- | erned the province, for nearly a century, with a leniency and consideration towards its subjects of another faith, which they sppesr fully to appreciate, and thus gratefully acknowledge. What misery and ill-feeling would have been prevented in Ireland had | a similar course heen pursued with reference to that | unhappy country! | i Toe Terrironran DispvTs Berwren New | Mexico anp Curmvanva—Governor Lane's | Dzrence or His ANNEXATION Acr—The Mex: | ican journals publish the manifesto made by | Governor Lane, of New Mexico, to the Chihuahua | commissioners, defending the position taken by him | in relation to the claims made by him, on the part This communication is dated 23d of March. ‘The | first paragraph of the document justifies Governor | Lane’s act, on the simple ground that the division line run between the two republics, from the Rio | Grande to the Gila, had been disapproved and repu- diated by the President and Congress of the United | States. Such line was run ex parte by Mexico, with the sanction of Mr. Commissioner Bartlett, against the consent of Major Graham, and under the protest of Surveyor Grey, whose sanction thereto was ne- cessary to make the line valid. Mr. Lane goes on to say that neither the government nor the officers of | the United States have any intention to sacrifice na tional honor or violate the clauses of the treaty of | peace, but that, in fact, the only violation of sugh | treaty which he has known has been perpetrated by the Mexican citizens themselves. He assures the Commissioners, besides, that the civil discords which unhappily reign in Mexico are the cause of grief | not of joy,to the American government, and the | majority of the nation. The communication then shows that the political | and geographical position of the disputed valley had | been always recognized as comprised in the territory } of New Mexico; that the surveyor appointed by the | government having resigned, Mr. Bartlett exceeded | that therefore the line made ont was simply a pro- visional one, subject to the approbation or repudia- tion of both Mexico and the United States. The | initial point wes fixed at 32 deg. 22 min.; whilst Mr. Grey insisted it should have been fixed al i forther south—that is to say, at 31 de; a point eight miles north of the Paso.

VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT IN THE DAGUERNEAN J.T, Mascher, of Philadelphia, in the daguerrean art, which ought to ensure him a handsome fortune in a few years. By this discovery two pictures of the same person, taken on one plate, are, through the aid of his stereoscope, made to appear as if they were one life-like statue. It is weli known that nearly all daguerreotype pictures, as well as por- traits in oil, are flat and inanimate ; but likenesses | viewed through the stereoscope are not only magni- | | fied as large as life, but are, by binocular vision, con | verted into apparently solid pictures. His sterco- scope is all contained in 2 common daguerreotype case; in fact the case is the stereoscope, simply having a flap, containing two convex lenses, arrang- ed in the lid of the otherwise ordinary case. When a | person desires to look at the picture, he simply raises that side of the case containing the lenses, and views the picture through them, which then appears to the eye as one portrait, magnifled to a great ex- tent, with the features and dress clearly delineated. Mr. Mascher accomplished his invention by such simple yet effectual means that it makes every one wonder why it was not discovered long before. ENGRAVING OF THE Empress EvGrN1n.—Messrs. Goupil & Co. have just published a splendid litho- raph, El adil with lifelike appearance the Smpress Kugenie. This engravingis by far one of the finest productions of the lithographic art. The skill with which the features are shown is truly ad- mirable. The Empress appears in a lownecked loose folds around her waist. Her neck is orna- mented witha beantiful diamond necklace. Messrs. Goupil have also published another large engraving, entitled Elizabeth Grace and Rachel | Martin. The engraving represents these two wo- men as dressed in their husband's clothes, with horee pistols in their bands, capturing two British | officers, and a courier, Who was conveying some im- portant despatches to the enemy.

During the past week the stock market has deen pretty active, but there has been no material variation in prices. We do not perceive any additional indications of returning speculation, and the bears make very little progress in de- pressing the current value of any fancy. For several weeks past we bave had no change of consequence to report. With daily transactions in all the leading secuzities, vary- ing from one to threo and five thousand shares, a uniform. ity in quotations bas existed rarely experienced in tho stock market. We cannot isfactorily account for this. With money plenty and the rates of iaterest well reduced, with all the evidences of future ease in financial affairs, the spirit of speculation sleeps, aad there are no aigns of its owaking. The fancies are turned fcom hand no hand in the stiest, im large lots, without effect, a3 they fail in attracting outside operators. ‘The movements in specie are becoming more important aud interesting. The exportation last week was the largest of the season.
