IMPOSING RELIGIOUS CEREMONY, Consecration ef a new Catholic Bishop, the Right Reverend Doctor Bacon, Bishop of Portland, Me.—Sermon of Bishop McCloskey, of Albany. St. Patrick’s Cathedral was yesterday the scene of one of the most solemm ceremonies of the Catholic Church. It was known for several weeks that the Rev. Dr. Bacon had been appointed Bishop of Portland, Me., and as his consecration was to take place yester- day, the church was crowded to its utmost extent. Nothing was wanting that could add to the impressive character of the rites; the rich and magnificent drosses 0! ghe bishops and the officiating clergy, the subdued yot earnest interest of the congregation, the solemn and ac ored service of the mass—the ie, added to the music of one of the finest choirs in the city, rendered the conse- cration—apart from its purely religious character—oue of the finest sights we have ever witnessed. As the oc- casion was one of more than usual interest wo give the full de of the ceremony. The following are the remes of the bishops acd officisting clergy:-— Archbishop Hughos, consocrator. Right Rev, Drs. Loughlin, of Brooulym; Bayley of Newark; Fitzpatrick, of Boston; McCloskey, cf Albany; and Right Rev. Dr. Ba- cop; Very Rev. Wm Starr, vicar-general of St. Patrick's, assisting priest; Rev. Thos. S. Preston, deacon; Rev. Jobn Barry, eub-descon; Rey. Francis MsNierney, master of ceremonies; Very Fev. Michael MeQarron, vi grneral, and Rev, Wm. Quinn, deacons of hozor, beni: several other assisting clergymen. The consecration commenced at eleven o'clock, at which hour the consecrator, the bishop-elect, the as- sistant bishops and officiating clergy, entered the church from the vestry, and proceeded to the altar, where the consecrator was vested, tte bishop-eisct aad the ascistont bishops veating at the side altar. All being prepared, and the consecrator seated be- fore the middie of the altar, the elect advanced between the aseistant bishops, saluied the consecrator, and tock bis seat opposite to him. After afew minutes they rose, and the senior of the acaistant bishops, turning towaads the consecrator, said:— Mort Reverend Father, our Hol; Chureb, bogs of you to raise this prio to the Lurden ofthe @;iscopacy ‘The consecrator asked—'‘Have you an apostolical mandate?’” The s nior prelate—'‘ We have.” The conece:ntor—*‘ Let it be read.’? ‘The consecrator’s notary received the apostolical man- Cate and read it. At its close, the consecrator said— “Deo Gratias’”’—(God be thansed ) The Bishop elect then knelt, and read 1.N,, eleot of the chureh of We ..N., elect of the church of N., shall, from this hour, honcetorward, be obedient to blosss the Apostle, and t blessed father, ., and to hig suovessors canoniesliy chossn.

The Litapies were now continued, atthe end of them, fhe conrecrator, ba: tee bishop elect knecling Before rtm, took the Book of the Gbspels, aad he, to- gether with the assistant bishops, placed it wide open ever the bead and shoulders of the bishop elect. Alter this, the covsecrator and the assistont bishops imposed their hands = the head of the bishop elect, saying, ‘ Reesive the Holy Ghost.”’ ‘Th i Creator” was sung to invoke the light of the Holy Ghost, and the consecrator prepared to anoint the elect he first verse of the ‘Veni Creator” ended, be snointed the head of the elect, saying:— May thy bead be snnointed and constcrated with heuren- ly blessing, in the ial order, im the name of the Pa. ther, and of the & Ghost.

When all returned to the sanctusry, and the 7» Deum being finished, the consectater sung the Anciphon ‘+Fir- metur manus tua,” and then said— Domine exaudi crationem meam. Ans.

After which he went to tho epistle side of the altar, knelt and chanted ‘‘Ad multos annos,”” then, adi to the micdle of the altar repeated ‘Ad muitos anaos,”” again, at the feet of the consecrater, he repeated the same words; and, ashe rose, he received the kiss of prace from the conseorator, aa aleo did the assistant ishops, accompavied by whom he went to the side chayel, where he read the Gospel according to St. John, the consecrator reading the same Gospel at his own altar. This concluced the ceremony of the consecration, THE SERMON. During an interval in the ceremony of consecration, the Right Rev. Dr. McClosky ascended the pulpit, and @elivered one of the most eloquent discourses to which we have ever listened on the divine origin of the Episco- pacy, He took his text from the 10th chapter of St. Jobn, from the lith to the 16th verse inclusive :— Tam the good shepherd. ‘Tho good shopherd giveth hislifo for his sheep. But, the bireling and he that is not the shepherd. whose own the cheep are not, seeth the wolf comios and loaveth the sheep, and dicth; aad the wolf catcheth, and ecattereth the sheep’: And the hireling flieth, because he isa hiveling; and he hath no care tor tho s! Iam the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me. As tho Father knowsth me, and I know the Father : and [ lay down my life for my shoe} hem also ro aball the consesrated by And other shoep I have that are not of this fold Tinust bri.g, and they shall hvar my voico, and the: ‘be one fold and one shepherd . Words could not be chosen, my brethren, said the venerable preacher, more appropriate to the present in- teresting and solemn occasion, than those which church proposes for our special instruction in the G pel of this Sunday, We have here set before us in the character and person of our blessed Lord and Saviour, the lime and perfect model of all truc Episcopacy, its owa great and civine inal, the firct and highest source whence all its digi and all its holiness, and all its power must be al re derived. Thrice our Lord de- clares bimsrlf to be by excellence the good shepherd, for the plentitude of all spiritual pastorship resides in him: to bim belongs preeminently the attribute of good in that he bas been willisg to lay down hia life for his ebeep. He ix the good shepherd, and he ts also the one shepherd, and, as already said, to him belongs the plen- ituce of pastorsbip. None can haye share thorein save those who bave been thereto ordained by himself; none can feed his fold save those whom he has commissioned; mone can assume to themeclyes the honor unless they have been cailed of God, and however many trey may bo whom he oe be pleased for the work of his ministry to associate unto himself, their powers are eerived’ irom him, and always in suca way as that they abslt ever be reflected back upon the principal of their upity. He is the one sbe over the one fold—unity in the pastorsh{y and unity in the flock; and this unity is again founded upon the prin- ciple of a common faita, of a common obedion , and a common love. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me, anc they hear my voice, ard “other sheep I have that are not of this fold.) Not they only are to be called who are of a Cg nation, or # peculiar people, but they shall be called from all nations and from 4! praet and tongues, and however widely scattered, wever distxat the parts from which shall be brought, there shall not bo many folds, but one fold. Here, tren, we have portrayed to us in brief and simple words a full and bed mid of the Church of Jesus Christ on earth. In that you ppd ‘hen, this end that of Jesus the newly associated in et him consecrated Bis! the torsbip by self—to show now becomes virtue cf the ecmmunmion which he nofte in com ton with other Bithops A wihay og the world, and with the reat see of Peter Peter having derived the plenituce of piseopacy and the office of the visible one shepherd from Jeaus Christ himself. It behoves us furthermore toshow you how the peopls arealszo members of that fold, Telog ‘united with the Bishop, and he being united with feter, and Peter being im fof the representative of Curist himself; so we ai Rave the corsolation to know and feel that we are of that one fold uncer the one shepherd. You perceive at once how im nt is the coos deration pees before you; this teing once proved all is proved, oc mest fail. If it be shown that all the power kn t itimacy of that office and the conferred this ee becn derived from Jesu: bimeelf, then is thority of that psstorship unquestioned; then is the com- mission which he receives, not a human, but a divine commission; then is the work which you have behoid, nota merely human, but a divine work; and then that voice to which hed shell listen, shall not simpl, be the voice of man, but. the vice of God, spesking to you through this human seeney, fulfilling bis words. If this cannot be shown, this commission is not divine, neitber talent, Jearafog, vir- tue, nor qualities of wey kind will avail aught to supp'y its place. Neither the favor of men nor the voice of the Pecple can confer that which “bel to Ubrist h they never received—the jeepfold one shepherd, but litened also waar aoe tos Aiegéom, then to a household, and then to » body, where all the members are together, actuated and can- trolled by one commcn head, receiving life and —— from ore common heart. and in all these similitu: the idea is expressly conveyed to us of visible unity in the body and the necessity of a visible head. cetve to yourselves » houschold without a father, — bree ten = well ci oon he go gene jovernor, a Kingdom withou' a liv; without its leh cosiave; in a word, to yourelves, duty, or order, or barmony, or strength, where that prin- ciple of unity is wanting; conccive to yourselves # na- tion composed as many States without one head; con- esive in our own republic, composed as it hah States separate and independent uader their own inirvi- dual Governors, it one common head which would one republic, one if we capnot ve thie unity, there- fore, wonting in the works of man, bow can we conceive it wanting in the church of God—even in that great work.

At the Broapwar Tuearne Mr. Forrest has completet the fourth week of his engagement. The house is very well attended. Sheridan Knowles’ play, ‘‘Virginius,"’” bas been the chief attraction of the present week. Mr. Forrest's conception and embodiment of the brusque, pas- sionate old Roman was altogetuer excellent. Ho was so effective in portions of the thirdact ae to excite the audi- ence to the hizbest pitch of enthusiasm. The Virgiais of the night, (Miss Reignolds,) a late addition to the com- pany, woul bave been better if she had not tried to act se much. She is a young women of considerable personal attractions. This evening, ‘‘Coriolanus’’ is to be pro- duced, with Mr, Forrest as Cains Marcius, a part which he t played for several years, ‘The revival will, éraw a great house. At Ni1o’s Garvey the German opera company gave its last performance on Tuesday, since which time the theatre has not beem opened. ‘The Opera is an- nounced to open on the’d0th, and the artists were ex- pected to arrive in the Nashville, which reached this pert yesterday. Mr, Ullman came, and reports thet Mme. De Lagrange, Signora Parodi, und several others, would leave im the St. Louis, which was ansounced to eail from Havre on the 11th instant, Mr. A. Jaatz an- Bounces « concert at Niblo’s this evening. At Bunron’s Tuxatae the principal incident of the ‘week has been the revival of Shakspeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors,” with some changes in the cast of last season, when Messrs. Burton and G. Andrews were the two Dromios, and Mrs. Buckland played Adriana. Mr. Bur- ton and Mr. Hall now play the Dromios, and Mrs, Hough Gives a mild representation of Adriana. The lilusion of the play was not well supported, The two Dromios had Points of personal resemblance, but their ideas of the Proper manzer of acting the parts were widely different. Mr, Burton’ was rapid, smart and in‘eiligent—Mr. Hall was slow, foggy ani funny. It seomed to us that a Dromio so intelligent as that played by Mr. Bur- tom would have very soon disentangled the “snarl” which is the foundation of the play. Mr. Fisher and Mr. Jordan played the two Antipholuses, and were un- like each other in acting—Fisher was spirited and flery, Jordan elegant and nonchalant. The piece has been somewhat abridged, but the cuts are judicious. This evening Mrs. A. F. Baker takes her benefit, whea ‘Janet Pride’ is to be done for the last time.

The “third point’? would then bo taken into con- sideration. The Russian plenipotentiaries refuse to ad- mit that in accepting the third pcint, as interpreted fo the aide memoire of December 28, published in the Hunarp. a week or two ago, they bave acknowledged the principle of a diminution of Russian power in the Black Sea. They assert that the demand fora redaction of the Russian fleet is contrary to the dignity and sove- reign rights of the empire. The Pariy Assemblée National, of Sth lant., says :— Thero is every reason to belicve tha! the Ministers of France, themselves at tho conference wit ‘and upon which Ri proposition arranged in will have no more to do than to declare acceptance or refusal. The uncortaint; not be of long dura nd probably the next week will not sass without cur ‘able to announce to our readers tomething more precive than hopes and conjectures. It is rumored at Berlin that an ultimatum had been agreed to in London, having for its object the placing of Prussia in a position to declare definitively her inten- tions, . ‘The advices from the Crimea are exciting. There had been some terrible conflicts before Sebastopol. On the 28d and 24th ult. the Russians made a powerful sortie. Geveral Osten Sacken, reports thet it was for the purpose of putting a stop to the work of approach made by the allies near the Kamschatka lunctte, which he de- scribes as perfectly nuccersful. The loss on both sides was considerable. A French colonel, a French captain and a: English captain were taken prisoners. We give the Frglish version of the affair in another column. Intelligence from Balaklava is Cown to the 20th uit., and In to the effect that reguiar operations were to commence on the 3d inst. All the troops encamped round the Bay of Kamiesch have received directions to take up poal- tions neazer to Sebastopol. On the 18th reinforcements of 15,000 Russians arrived at Sebastopol, and on the same evening a like number creased the Tchernay and advanced on Baidar. Advices from Odessa and Warsaw speak of the im- menee efforts which Russia is making to oppose an over- whelming foree to the armies of the allies in the Crimea. Prince Gortschakoff, on a recent brief visit to Sebastopol, expressed his high approval of the works constructed in front of ihe Malakhoff Tower, and gave orders to tre- ble the number of workmen employed thereon; he also marked out positions for new works, and ordered up a reinforcement of troops to cover the position. Our special correspondent at Liverpool sends us an important piece of news. It is of another great battle at Eupatoris, and the reported death of Omar Pasha, Anzexed is bis letter:— OUR SPECIAL CORKESPONDENCK. Livenroot, April 7~2P. M. In cave your telegraphic reporter in Liverpool should not have sent you any intelligence to the “latest me- ment,” I write these few basty lines to inform you ‘hat on the reesipt of Canrobert’s despatch, announcing scrtio‘of the Russians, by which they lost 2,000 men, and the French some 600, Paris was full of ramos to the effect that the French government had recived some very important despatches, which were kept b«ck untii the opportane moment for pndlishing them sould arrive. Great diversity of opinion prevailed as to their tenor, some thinking them favorable to the allies, and others the contrary, At two o'clock, this afteraoon great agitation prevailed here, in consequence of a London private despatch, which announced a great battle at Eupatoria, the defeat of the Russians, with a Joss of 5,000 men, and the death of Omer Pasha. Wha- ther true or not, [cannot tell, but I doubt Omer Pasha being killed. QUI VIVE.

Our London Correspondence, Lonvon, April 6, 1856. The Negotiations and the War— Vienna aud Sebastopol— Severe Fighting—The Double Siege~The 3d of Aprat— Miscellancous Intelligence. The two great points of interest which now absorb the attention of every party and of every class are the ma- gotiations at Vienna and the siege of Sebastopol. As regards the former, I have already informed you that the negotiations came to a sudden stand atill, and that it was resolved, before proceeding further, to await the arrival of Drouyn de L’Huys, the Freach Miniater of Foreign Affairs. As I expected, the Russian plenipe- tentiaries showed fight at the third point—the dimine- tion of the Russian power im the Black Sea. It is quite clear that the We Powers have abandoned the rac- ing of Sebastopol ine qua nom, but it seems that there are other points at which Russia slicks, and I daily expect to ear that al! negotiations are broken off, amd that the war will be continued with increased vigor om all sides, Then comes the great question, will Austeia declare war against Russia and take the offeasive? It is bound im honor to do so. At the came time her vaciiating conduct, and secret sympathies for Russia, bave engendered doubts which no man can presume satisfactorily to solve. We can only await the coume of events, Monday, 9th April, is, I believe, the day fixed for the re-opening of the conferences. Ali Pasha, the fw: Envoy, will aleo have arrived at Vienna by that ti It is now said that Nesselrcde will not attend. Our Parliament doos not meet again till the 17th. The siege of Sebastopol is carried on all this time with renewed vigor. There has been some very severe fighting, expecially on the French side. Tne defence of Sebastopol is carried on with a vigor by the Russlana, which evinces no desire on their part to givein. They are, in fact, advancing towards the allies, and have thrown up two new works on hillocks, formerly porsessed by the allies, One of these hillocks, which has now been christened “ the Mamelon,”’ is om front of the Malakhoff tower. The Russians have erected bat- teries there, and pits, from which their riflemen annog the French workmen continually. The French have made two or three most <esperate attacks to take this redoubt, which has become a sort of Russian ‘ Arab Tabia.”’ On the night of the 22d a tremendous aight ensued. The French lost 600 men; Canrobert> re- ports the loss of the Russians at 2,000. The Rucsians at the same time made « fierse sortie on the English lires. Four English officers were Killed. It wasa regular battle by night, with e clear mocn shining upon the combatants. But I enclose you the only full account of the affair, which appears in this day’s Times, A telegraphic despatch says that a general attack was to take place by the allies on the 84 April. They are to attack on all sides. Omer Pasha is to advance on the north side, whilst the Eag- lish and French attack the Ryssians in the field. You muet take this eum grano, ‘The general atteck has been £0 often announced, and never taken-place, that 1 cannot guarantee the correctness of the intelligence, Eupatoria is becoming a regular fortress. No further attack has taker place upcn the town, but the Russians stDl muster in strong force in the neighborhood. Thus, whilst the allies are besieging Sebastopol the Russians are besieging Eupatoris; whilst words of peace are interchanged at Vienna, flame and aword are om- ployed on the actual theatre of war. The death of Nicholas doer not appear to have had much effect apes the Russians, The most fanatical appeals to the people eppear in the Russian journals, and the authorities ace endeavoring to make the war popular by calling it “s holy war,’’ and promising the kingéom of Heaven te all who fall in battle, The Roebuck Committee has adjourned. Layard, whe seems to be the chief cross-questioner, was yesterday installed as Lord Rector of the University of Aberdesm. He will have doubtless made a great speech at the baa- quet given in his honor in the evening, but it has not yot been received in town. To-day, being Good Friday, very few papers publish second editions. Crartoviski bas addreesed a letter to an English mem- ber of Parliament on the regeneration of Poland, which Tenclese. It represents the opinions of the better sext of the Poles. In other respects there is little to comma- nicate, The Zimes of to day has a first leader devoted te the Know Nothings of America, which I leave for your own consideration. The Spanish Government has demanded the recall ef Lord Howden, the British Minister at Madrid. The fel- lowing paragraph explains th's course:— Lord Howden has addre anid als in o ntony of, not ‘b Iained Pie jouse tor the this own London will be very gay in a week, as the arrival of the Emperor and Empress of the French is looked fec- ward to with considerable interest. ‘The opera opens on the 10th, Funds are heavy.

Drouym de L’Huys will probably reach Vienna to day, aod bis arrival may hasten the reunion of the cen- ference, which had adjourned om Monday evening utd the 10th inst. As little is publicly known of the im- structions which he bears from Lonton snd Paris, as of the deliberations of the conference, and the Paris jour- nals are less disposed this week than previously tere- peat the vain conjectures of the Germen journals, they are content with chronicling the latest news from the Crimea, that the allied armics are bent upos taking possession of tho positions in the neighborhood of the , tower of Malakoff, with descriptions of the races, which attracted ‘ast Sunday a multitude of spectators, who would barély bave found room ia the churches oven if tney had been Cispored to stay in Paris and joi the pious crowds that thronged the cathedral of Notre Dame, the Madeleine and the other temples of the ma- tropolis, and with accounts of the confusion that then- sands of laborers are striving to reduce ito order im time for the great Exhibition, which it is positrvely de- termined shall open on the Ist of May.
