INTERESTING CATHOLIC CEREM Consecration of the Catholie Bishop of Hartford at Providence. Splendid and Solemn Ceremontal—Eight Bishops Present—The Consecration Sermon by the Bishop of Albany—Sermon by Arch- Dishop Hughes, &c. ‘When the United States mail steamship Pacific perished, wm January, 1866,0n ber voyage from Liverpool to New Yerk, leaving upon the face of the waters no living soul to tell the story of the disaster, the Catholic Bishop of Martford, the Right Rev. John O'Reilly, was among those ‘who shared her fate, the mystery whereof it is not for ‘the band of man to lift the veil from. Since then the div- ces of Hartford has been under the charge of the Vicar. General, Rev. Wm. O'Reilly, brother to the late Bishop. @n Sunday last, the Rev. Francis P. McFarland was conse- érated the new Bishop in the cathedral of Providence, Rhode Island, with a pomp and ceremony rarely witness- ea in the Catholic church in this country. The consecra- tion of a bishop is not only one of the most solemn and dmportant of all the services of the church, but itis also ‘the most impressive and gorgeous ceremonial. Qn this ‘eocasion it was peculiarly #0, Being the first time that a ‘Dishop was consecrated in the diocess of Hartford, the @atholic congregations from the neighboring towns seemed to have poured into Providence, and, added to the people @f that city, formed around the church, st an early hour on Sunday morning, ® dense mass, to witness the gcene, but mot one half within. There could not bave been less than 4,000 persons aside, every available part of the church being densely @rewded, Eight bishops, each aitended by # chaplain and about forty priests, were present at the ceremony. Arch- Dishop Hughes, of New York, was the consecrating bishop, and was assisted by Bishop Fitzpatrick, of Boston, and Bishop Timon, of Buflalo. The other bishops present were Rt, Rev. John McCloskey, of Albany; Rt. Rev. John Lough- Bn, of Brooklyn; Rt. Rev. Jas. R. Bayley, of Newark; Rt Rev. D. W. Bacon, of Portland, Me., and Rt. Rev. L. De Geeebdriand, of Burlington, Vt. Among the priests were Revs. Wm. Quinn, Geo. McCloskey and R. Brennan, of New York; Very Rev. J. J. Conroy, V. G., Reve. A. MoGeegh, B. F. Loughlin, P. Canagher, Powers and Herbst, @f Albany; Rev. Fernando Lynch, C. M., of Buffalo, and thirty priests from the diocess of Hartford. Al! these, with the gorgeous robes and mitresof the bishops and ‘vestments of the clergy, added to the croas-bearers, in- cense bearers, torch bearers, the lights upon the altar, ‘the floral decorations of the cathedral, and the grand strains from the choir, organ and orchestra, and ono ctn ferm some idea how espiendid, how solemn, how imposing was the scone in the church of Saints Peter and Paul, in Previdence, Jast Sunday. Within the sanctuary sat his Honor Wm. M. Rodman, Mayor of Providence, Monsieur Gearaud, the French Consul, in fall uniform, Dr. 0, A. Brewnson, and the representatives of the press. And here our reporter takes an opportunity of thanking the Rev. Wm. @ Reilly, Rev. T. Quinn, of Providence, and the Rev. Wm. Quinn, of St. Peter's church, Barclay street, New York, for the facilities 20 courteously afforded him for seeing aad comprehending the magnificent ceremonial. The new Bishop, Francis P. McFarland, was born near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and has been nearly four. teen years in the ministry. He was educated at St. Mary’s College, Emmitsburg, Md., and finished his studies at St. John’s College, at Fordham, N. Y. His first mission was at Waterbury, Conn., from which he was subsequentiy removed to the charge of St. John’s church at Ctica, in this State, where he remained until his elevation to the Episcopal chair of Hartford. bishop McFarland is about forty years of age. He {s tall and slight, with a face “nore sanctified than intellectual. He enjoys the res ripe scholarship, good judgmert, @caim, miM, but firm character, and ‘great purity of life; and indeed his face es external evidence of the poesession of al! those quaii- 80 easential to a good bishop. The bishops and clergy assembled at the house of the pastor, in Fenner street, at 9o'clock A. M., where they Tobed, and thence walked in prdccssion to the cathedral on High street, and advanced tp the aisle to the eanctua- qi chaunting the pealm Quam Delectam. Archbishop jughes was congecrator, the other officers were Rev. Messrs. Hart and Delany, Assstast Deacors of Honor to the Archbishop; Rev. W. O'Rielly, Assistant Priest; Rev. Mr. Deacon; Rey.

The Consecrator then blessed the crogier, and, handing it to the elect, said :-— Receive the statf of thy pastoral office, that thou mayest be mercifully severe in correcting vice, in fostering virtue by soothing the minds of thy hearers, in notleaving aside censure in the calmness of severity.

He then blessed the ring, and placed it on the annular finger of the consecrated, saying :-— Toke this ring as @ token of fidelity, so that, bel gifted with inviolate faith, thou mayest guard the spouse otto his boly Church. ‘The Consesrator now took the book of the Gospels, hand- ed it closed to the newly consecrated bishop, who tok it, the Consecrator saying -— preach to the people committed to thy », for God is that he increase his. in'ay debait, who i snd Felgua forever.

At the offatory of the mass, the new kneeling be- fore the Consecrator, presented him with two lig) torches, two ornamented loaves of bread, and two small gilt caske of wine. This offering is a relic of ancient dis- cipline, but is still observed. The mass was then proceeded with, the Consecrator and new Bishop taking the wine at communion from the same chalice. After the post commun'on, se tan! CONERORATION fog ‘aa preached by the Kght Rev. Dr. McCluskey, Bishop of Albany, as follows:— ‘And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongat ua (and We saw His glory, to glory as it were of the only begotten of the Paiher), fof grace and truth, These words are Zrom the first chapter of the Scope ac cord:ng to St. John.

He healsthe sick, cures the lame, stills the tempest, makes the blind to see, and raises dead; be seems in with power from on high.

He is indeed & God-man—the perfe: ofa Divine work after a human manner. He redeoms the world by preaching his heayeniy doctrme, and for whom? Not for angels, but for men.

SERMON OF ARCHBISHOP HUGHES. The church was again crowded to its utmost capacity in the evening, at veepers, and the benediction of the most holy sacrament. The Rev. Dr. McCaffrey, President of St. Mary’s College, Emmitteburg, Md., was invited to preach on this occasion, but pressing duties interfering, be was compelled to decline at the last moment; and Archbishop Huanes, of New York, kindly consented to fill his place, and addressed the congregation briefly. The Archbishop took for his text the parable of the grain of mustard seed, 13th chapter of Matthew, Slat and 32d verser. He said that in considering the life of our Saviour we were struck with one peculiarity, and that was the beautiful simplicity of the language he employed in conveying to the minds of his humble disciples the profound mysteries of the religion he camo on earth to eatablish, and the perfect fitness of every parable he em. ployed. There was no appearance in any of his teachings led frem the lips of a God made all wisdom eprung. He spoke to ‘men in terms that a] men could understand. To agricul- turists, and those who bleaded with agriculture that which might perhaps be called @ seience, the culture of the vineyard, and to sh Rengene ot aes & with which were itewr which they cou comprehend. lie spoke of the kingdom of God as a mustard seed, sometmes as a shepherd, or asa vine. He suited his teachings je the capacity of his dis- ciples. The meaning of the pwable ho chosen for his text was plain enough. Faith never comes im its full tide at once, but like tho mustard seed. ‘The church itaelf was oy ed of boon ig go mime Aggregate capacity might be com) gro the mustard seed into & an tree. The Lord Orat collected aroung bim those who began to be- leve, such as Peter, James and John, each one of whom ‘m turn received the grain of mustard seed. These and other disciples became, as it were, the officers of the church of God; they believed, and their belief was in- tended to illus.rate the planting of the mustard seed. Faith began with a few, but the seed has grown to = tree. Tt was natural for man to believe. will believe, whether 't be truth or falsehood. He fhe might use the express! believing animal. The young mariner knows the latitude and longitade of every place on the earth by what he calls science, but he could not know it if it was not confrmed by the testimony of men who lived before he was born. How does he know that there is such a place as Cape Horn, only that he believes it be- cause some one has said so. This was mere human faith. And supposing he wished to embark for some port in that empire lately opened to us by the gallant and able Com- modore Perry, who was (and be could not overlook the fact,) a native of the city of Providence—he should rely upon the statement of men. A man will not refuse to risk bia fortune on the testimony of other men. By rature and necessity man was compelled w believe. Men believed each other, and was (here any reason wi they should not believe God? If they do believe him, then the grain of mustard seed is sown. There were men who thought that ‘t was an evidence of an original mind to deny the truth of revel But it was in fact are- dellion against the hurmat ‘lect and heart. The men who refused to bel.eve God believed every impostor who J along with what he called a new theory. Since Christ began his divine mission there had been a strug- gle going on in the world between two elementsa—divine faith and human incredulity. For 1,800 years a contest bad been going on i the church between one divine faith and many opinions. Tue one faith never changed, but the many opinione were always changing. The Arch- bishop then proceeted to enumerate tho various schisms which every age produced from Nestorianism and Arianiem down to the her ef Lather, who, be said, had not one, but man ious; but who, like every other achiamatic did not to avow that be was 21 anew ‘ruth, but that be wae the true expounder of +4 origina! faith, and thus presented himself in ppeal buman intellect as # te and @ liar. Social and Jitical interest came to man’s aid, put 20 one could Borie ve that the ends that resulted from his movement sprang from any rational prigeiple. Were it not for him Germany, unhappy Germany, -nevead of being divided pro- vince against province, might be united and happy; and neo , whieh they was prosperous, but which r had passed the climax of ber greatness, which had the sommitof ber power, and was going down, and, though she may be preserved for a time by the pa- trlotiem of the people, or some other human agency, cannot lasi—rbr, too, might be secure in her power and her glory, but for the ech: fihis man. As to our own country, the church cam obt eae, pe one forlorn, om the wharf. the one faith has advanced against the tide of many ‘8 discourse, to heir homo, and the ceremonies of the avenae, between Thirty first and Fifty ninth etroete.

An Ixcipet or Trur Prery.—On the annual return e Lent it bas been the custom to hold evening service in St. Paul’s Episcopal church, on Broadway, on each Wednes- day and Friday evening during the fast. On last Wednes- day evening, 800n after the commencement of the service, three Indian .girls, enveloped in their blue blankets, en- tered the door. The moment’s pause which they made showed that they had entered a sanctuary whose forme were strange to thom; but with a grace and common sense worthy of imitation by their pale faced sisters, and entirely free from awkward hesitation, they advanced immediately to the front of the altar and devoutly knelt before it. They pursued their devotions in their own way, conscious that it was in a Christiau church and be. fore a Christian altar that they knelt, and without the Teast concern as to ite orthodoxy. Near the closeof the oeryice tip7 rose, meade the sign of the cross, salnted the altar, and ‘as quietly as they came. They are of the number of Indian women who frequent our hotels, par ticularly in the evening, for the sale of trinkets and mos: casina. Nearly all of them are of the Caughnewage tribe, having Shale home at the xilsenot the same name, a few miles below Montreal. Being Catholics they usually wor- ship at the French Catholic church in Canal street, but it was evident that passing by and seeing the light in St. Paul’s they turned aside for ® few moments, at hour of their busiest traffic, to bow before the Great Father of all. That was truly @ union prayer meeting; the Catholic with the Protestant, the aboriginal native with the alien, worship} in peace at the same altar. Will those whe sometimes thoughtless!y insult these Indiana with improper Tap reflect that their words may be giving pain to the heart of a sincere Christian woman?

This, with the 30,000 which each company had left over from iast year, will give a total of 370,000 tons, quite as much as usual. It is alao expected that if these monopolies should put the price up high enough it would bring in large quantities of ice that was garnered last winter to the north and east, in the expectation that there would bea short crop.

Mr. Kadcliffe, minister of the National Church of Scotland in this city, and a Mr. Gall, one of the editors and proprietors of a weekly paper published {n this city, under the style of Ford and Gall’s Newspaper. 1 told you in my last that a meeting bad been held for the purpose of establishing a reformatory institution for boys, in Kingston, in con- formity with an act of the last session of our Colonial Legislature. I forgot to add, however, that a similar in- stitution had been already formed for girle, undor the auspices of the Rey. James Watson, minister of the United Presbyterian Church. A subsequent meeting to that noticed in my Jast was held in the Museum Rooms of the Royal Society of Arts of Jamaica, when the subject of the reformatory was brought prominently forward. Mr. George William Gordon objected to certain expressions jn the report of the committee appointed to de- vise the best means to carry out the object in view, and spoke against the manner in which the sugar estates are mapaged—denouncing the immorality prac- tiged on those properties, and suggesting certain alterations in the report, to the effect that the children taught in the reformatories should not, in after life, be absolutely bound to labor on sugar estates, but Ghat they should be put to that deseription of work which they might be found fit for. The Rey. Mr. Almon agreed with Mr. Gordon, and he was coincided with by the Hon. Richard Hilland Mr. W. W. Anderson. Upon this the Rev. Mr. Radcliffe got up and in- dulged in a tirade against these gentlemen calling them “hu- manity mongers,” and expressing & wish that the inmates of the proposed reformatory should be chained to agricul- tural labor without any other prospect. Jam informed that the reverend gentleman actually used these very words. The discussion thereupon assumed a very un- seemly aspect. Mr. Gall accused Mr. Radcliffe of using certain language against the bulk of the people of Jamaica, which Mr, Radel lonied he had used, and called on Mr, Gall for an apology of the spot—a demand which, it seems, that young man did notcomply with. The meeting, in consequence of the dispute, broko up in something like disorder. Tt is to be hoped, however, that this disagree- ment between two persons equally interested in reclaiming the vicious youth of Kingston will not operate in prevent- ing the turning of the young rascals with which this city abounds from the error of their ways. The dispute between Messrs. Radcliffo and Gall, how- ever, did not end in the Museum Rooms. An article ap- peared ia Ford and Gall’s Family Ne per, accusing the Rev. Mr. Radcliffe of expressing a doubt whether a negro hasasoul. Mr. Radcliffe replied tothis bya fiat denial, at the same time mentioning some private matters between him and Mr. Gall—such as Mr. Gall having ar- rived in Jamaica in ill health, and of the par- gon’s hospitality in = variety of ways. Mr. Gall’s re- joinder is as fierce asthe clergyman’s attack. It offers to bring witnesses on oath to prove the truth of what Mr. Gall asserted about Mr. cliffe’s doubt of the negro bovine soul, and charges the reverend gent! witha breach of hospitality in so speaking of a man to whose grandfather he was indebted for hospitable treatment in ag country town in Ireland. It is tobe hoped, however, that this unseemly Lm god will not mar the work of bene- volence contemp! in oné of the most beneficient schemes ever Lads agpwern by a Jamaica Legislature. You can hardly realize the extent of the precocious rascality of this city, Let one instance suffice:—At the preliminary meeting of gentlomen interested in the reformatory movement, Mr. Astwood, a merchant of this city, eaid he was just from @ tavern where an ‘American gentlemen “told him that » black boy had, @ litt while before, came up to bim, and assuming the nasal twang of a Yankee, reminded the aforesaid gentiemen of what he a American) would do with him (the boy) {ff the parties were in New Orleans. Mr. Ast said he never was more ashamed in his life. than when be hoard this story; and I participate in the ehame, the more x0 ae Mr. Astwood is an Englishman, while I am a son of Ja maica. You must not suppose, however, that all the negroes in Jamaica are as rude as the boy spoken of by Mr. Astwood. Indeed, a great source of error on the part of writers on this island, from Furope and America, is this: they land in Kingston, and, perbaps, see Spanish Town, the seat of government, and, it may be, one or two of the adjacent parishes. They then depart, under the erroneous idea that they have seen Jamaica, and wyite, perbaps, big books about the island of Jamaica. Now, pothing can be so absurd. The island is divided, north and south, bya chain of lofty mountains, which render travelling across the {eland difficult and expensive. ‘The consequence is, the intercourse between the north and the south is infrequent, and the ideas that theone side entertain of the other is ludicrous in the extreme. What wonder, then, that foreigners should be led into errors that the people of the country themselves are not free from. ‘An act, passed by the Logislaturo during the Inst see- sicn, has just come into operation.

Mr. Ny & member of the Iagisiative Council, correctly called it, was thrown overboar? Mary Cox, the woman who stabbed her paramour on Christmas day, bas been found guilty of manslaughter; the Attorney General baving thus softened the charge. She has not yet been sentenced. Spoaking of judicial matters, reminds me of @ serious charge against one of our judges, Tt eeoms that this gentieman presided at a Court at Montego Bay, some time ago, when Aman! forget hig namo—was tried for forgery, A technical objection was ‘akon by the man’s lawyer, at the very commencement, which tho Judge retused to accept. The man was found guilty, and sentenced to two ears’ bard labor in the penitentiary, notwithstanding hie lawyer's moving for @ writ of error, which the learned Judge pooh peohed. What ' is the upshot? The case is taken to the Sapreme Court aad there the judgment i# reversed, and the man who has been sen tenced to an ignominious imprisonment of two years is ordered w be released, but not before he has undergone such imprisonment for threo months. 142 the most important measure of the late eersion of Legislature is the abolition of the odious heredi tament tax and the dismieeal of a whole host of harpies, in the #i of tax collectors and their deputies, be carried out, in obtaining prompt intelligence from the ‘States; and thoe, by taking advantage of \nformation rele- tive the prov! markets, food might be obtained at cheap rates, instead of maintaining famine prices, aa it bas done for some time past. Mr. Castello, the senior member .or Hanover and editor of the Falmouth Port, entered into a calculation showing that the oe would arrive bere by each steamer would contribute, in the shape of duties on their purchases, as much or nearly a# much dering the year, as would cover the amount asked for. Mr. Hosack, on the part of covernment, objected to the it on the score of economy. Ho said, as we will soon ave the ocean telegraph extended to this island, whieh wil) be a ewifter means of communication, t would bee waste of money to expend £4,800 on steam communica tion. Mr. Languineth said, even suppose we ake to have the telegraph, that was no reason why, in the interim, we should not have the next most rapid methed of communt!- eation—by steam; and he called on the ment to state their reasons for supposing we shall have the tele- bere next year, or the your after, shal ever have itatall, One gentleman 0 the measure on the ground of the immorality exbibited in the streets af Ki whenever an Amorl- ean veamer calle into this part, and thus old fogyiem prevailed, and the project wes strangled, just as the extension of the Jamaica rail bas been, and as the telegraph project will be strangled.

There is probably no section of the island where the work of revival has been carried on with a greater degree of energy, or where greater success has attended these efforts, than has been manifested among the churches of Harlom. We might almost say that the work ef reviving the Christian spirit, which has *proad with eueh rapidiny throughout the country, and which will render the pre- sent year noted in history, commenced in that portion of lis known as Harlem village. For arcs Hy gst Wroaks these manifestations have been come in the ral the numbers that have been brought to feel the divine grace may almost be counted by hundreds, embracing bo the 'en- persons of all ages, from the gray haired der youth, and all stations and conditions ciety have sent forth converts for divine favor.
