DESCRIPTION OF THS CATHEDRAL. The corner stone of this fine buil was laid about four years ego, and since that time work has pro- gressed steadily, until it is sufficiently completed to be used for tke purpose intended, although not by any means finis! e edifice measures two hundred and twenty feet in length, by one bundred and forty in its — lateral extension. The ground plan of the thedral represents in its main liner the form of across. What we may call the head part of the latter is 42 feet iasid massive wal's, occupied as presbyte: pO a ae wings, eac! feet square; the 3! 8 e, 116 ms ogth by 42 feet square. Four aisles, twoon each 5! wide by 112 feet in length, run parallel with the nave. ‘The space adjoining the presbyterium, between its doors opening on Grent street, the architectural beauty toh prevents itself fairly astonishes the beholder when itwessed for the fir-t time. A row of massive piers, of clusters of columns running parallel with the front, and ‘at scme fifteen feet distance from it, support the gallery on Grant street; from the corridor or vestibule thus formed extend four rows of columns, w! oa account of their noble slender proportions, their rich capitals of leaf work, &c , form a striking con‘rast with the massive pillars just described, pnd elicit both admiration and re- spect for the science and kill which, were required to build them up, and erect upon them tos height of aeven- ty-five feet the elegant archwork which forms the ceil- . From the fuer massive, but from their proportions, slit looking clusters of columns, at the four corners of the transept, spring, at a height of forty-two feet above the floor, four arches, each of forty feet epwa, which support the tremendous central tower, which raises its top to two hundred and exghty-five fest above the floor below. 7. ‘The ceiling of this central part is a noble cupola, 123 feet above the floor, with a splendid ceiling, and which, witb sixteen windows of from 22 to 30 feet in height, answers the double porpore of lighting and ventilaiing the building This part of the structare is considered s very dering piece of architecture The tall spire, which rises from the brisk work of the tower at a height of 160 feet, is surmounted by an iron cross of 12 feet in height, and is surrounded at ite base by a platform 8 feet wide, from which point in a clear cay the eye can seo the whole city and the country around Pittaburg for many miles, This place is to be opened to visiters as soon as the last link in the chain of stairs, an iron winding stairs on the outside of the tower, can be got up. These stairs will be built on quite » novel p' we could see from the de: which the indefatigable architect of the baliding bas alreacy prepared for it. The ceilings of the interior are all variegated, richly groined, and like the namerous capitals and arches, ‘window’ trimming, etc. highl; ornamented with follags by a number of co" ork ef which, made of terra- jegant tracery work in the potated sty) of the midcle ages, (the style in which the whole ‘the buildirg is exeouted,) are partly filled with richly stained glaea The centrep'ece of attraction is the main altar—only in part finished, however, built by the lay-brothers of the Mowastery of St. Vincent’s, near Youngstown, ia "pre wish hi al chair i a of ¢ zich CxDupy over the episcepal chair is carved of oak.” Tite vmstat 1 San ‘onals, eight ‘n number, are highly Some 280 pews of elegant pattern, ends and doors, are now ready for the” highly carved of the congregation; they will seat about Save eonsny The building, however, 18 estimated to hold from true 40 6,000; and, if necestary, aisitional pews can be set up on the space now left free for process etc. The ‘fourteen staticns,”’ representing the suffering of our Saviour, and executed of papier mache by an eminent artist in Par, are to adorn toe sidewalls, ani a large oil painting to surmount the screenwork of the altar; the latter we hear is now beirg painted in Rome. The towers, 220 fee” high each, will add greatly to the external appearence of tne building, which it is intend ed will be finished and painted as soon as the towers are Among the many novel features for the first time in- trodaced, we notice the reversible seats, the inveation of Bishop O’Conner, Mr. Tsaffe and Mr, Bartberger. The ssats can be chenged without necessitating the occu- pants to leave the pew and as by this reans the coagre- gation can face either way, we think this feature will be generally introduced in future, ‘The beautiful fresco painting over the altar is one of the mort noticeable wores of art in the cathedral. We do think the statury, painting, stucco work, &c., &c., in this building, are not to be surpassed anywhere, and it should be a miatter of gratification to every Pittaburg- er that we bave in our midst gentleman such pro- ficiency in there arts. The first calculation of the cost of the structare fixed it at $0,000, but we uaderstand that about $120,000 have already been expended on it, anda still further sum of $50.000 wal be required to complete it The amount paid out was almont entirely raised by voluntary subscriptions in this community. The building will forever rrmain a monument of tne liberality, enterprise and taste of a large portion of our citizens.

BISHOP HUGHES’ SPEECH. The Cedicatory sermon was preached by Archbishop Hu ‘New York, from the following text:— “Take heed, therefore, with yourselves, (bishops) and toail the Hock over which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with h:s own blood.”’—Acts, ch. 20: v. 28, The Archbishop is a very fluent speaker, and his dis- course occupied about an hour in its delivery. His sub- ject was the forms and ceremonies of the Catholic church,§ endeavoring to show that these were of th eame divine origin es religion itself. Everything, he, which comes within the range of human knowledge in presented under a two-fold aspect—the one sud- stance, the other form.

It is an agreeable duty sionally step aside from the beaten track of journalism, bristling with polemics, to the consideration of aunjecta remote alike from the bustle of affairs and the acrimony of political discussion —to spread before the public eye subjects upon which all bonorable and ttell gent men can meet as on neutral ground, and whicb, by the developement of mew sym. pathies, may in some measure abate the asperities of party contentions—pol tical, moral, or religious. ‘We indulge ourselves to-day in asking the public at- tention toa sotject of this nature—a subject involvia the public honor—and ove which we are quite sure af- fords a ground of revni p for all generous and high- minded men. irrerpective of their party adhesions.

Among the noble men who bave broidered their names with thote of the revolutionary patriots om the robe of their country’s geniue, Winfield Scott stands so pre-emi- nént that impertis! history must blazon his fame in pro- portion to the fivelity with which it recounts our Ponal anzes from hie carly youth ta his voneravie His star, whch first shed its light upon his country’s honcr frcm the Norttern constellation of Queenstown, of Chippewa, and of / undy’s ‘ane, was last seen shining with the: effulgence of the Southern cross in that of Mclia ce} Rey, Ceapultepec, and Churubusco, By vir- tue of his achievements and his unsuilied character, his name has become a household word among us.

Now, how stends the national account with him? On his return frow texico, while still covered with the dust of the battle field, our imbecile and corrupt administra. ticn, jeatous of bie glory, attemptea to wrest from his brows the imperisbable Jaurels with which they had been crownrd. But the public heart beat bigh even at the mention of bis name, and the audacious conspira tore wbo tad dared Eope to affix a stigma to it were ccmpelled to relinquish the design. A few years elspred, and his neme waa offered for the su‘frages of bis country, under the most inauspicious circum- stances Prova as his fellow-citi ly were of his ga'lantry soldier xnd his sxili as a ‘captain, they hesitated to subject bis admiuistrative capacities to so severe a test as bis elect/on 1 the chief magis- tracy in the then yeculiar position of the country, aad under the influeners by which he was surrounded. They rememeered that when a grateful sovereign had taired the Iron Dube to the bead of the civil govern ment of Fogland, his acmiristration bad fallen littl short of s sigrat failure, and seriously damaged the pret tige of hie name. It was unfortunate slike for him a1 for the country that his candidacy was more imme. diately conducted end supported by men whose peca liar v.ews weze regarced with alarm by all con: : tive winds.

Never, since the inavguration of our goverpment, bas a vote been given #0 strictly upon the Cogma of “principles without regard to men;”’—never id s popular vote result in the election of men #0 en- tirely without regard to principle. General Scott's cefeat in the election of 1852, was not, as bas tco often been d, the result of popular in: gratitude. Hundreds of thouean in name in the bigbest regard, and who would most ly bave contributed towsrds apy triumph for hm which implied 00 self abasement and no dereliction of principle, found themselves constrained to give their ffr to his competitor, who. they felt, had noclaim | 9nd less to their admiration, simply be- his supporters had taken the inside of the track by committing themselves more fully to the dominant idea of the campaign. Chagrined at having been placed by intriguing pohti- position which compelled them to withhold from him, the objest of their just pride a miration, the country, with one voice, loud and distinct, demanded that Congress should confer upon General Scott some suitable testimonial of the public gra- titude, In obedience to this universal sentiment, a reluctant party majority—in a Congress not distinguished for its regard to public opinion, or to the dictates of honor— made a tardy and grudging acknowledgment of the grateful appreciation in which his services were keld by the mation.
