It ie oxactly eighty yeurs ago+ince « French Catholic priest—an Augurtine, named de la Motte, *ho bad been serving a8 cbaplaip on board of a French frigate which fell wto the hende of the British near the Cheenporke—was sent to New York with hie vessel, and held as a prinener of-war. There were at thet tirae some few Cathelice ip the city, anc Father de la Motte being on parole, they solicited him to celebrate mass for them. At tie time the poos! whch hd go loag disgraced the ntatate hocks of Pogiand were in force tu the entony, and it was recorsery for (ors! spp) cation to be male to ae the authorities for leave to cole! oo Tt wasio the mi¢et of the Reyolutiocsry ctreggle, ead sho British held poerension of the city. De le Motte ed to Governor Pryce, end hie applicstion was refused; but, aoderstand- ing Fngiiah very imperfectly, he mistook the refusal for ap ssvent, and celerated mass for his co-religioniste. Per th pact he forfeited bis parole, was placed in close @estody, ond was 20 kept untti an exchange of prisoners vestored bim his liberty. This, be it remembered, took place in 1778. SUPFERINGS OF CATHOLIC MISSIOYARIRS, It wevld appear, bowever, that tha: was not the first time that the ceremonies of tne Catholic church were cele- ‘brated on this i#land. Simultaneonsly with the colonizing of whe Island of Manbattan by the Dutch, French mission ary priests were laboring among the Intian tribes in @anada and in the intorior of this State. One of these minsionsrier—Fetber Isaac Jogue—ip traveling from Quebec to New Amsterdem, fell wto the hea 's of a party of the Iroquois Indisns and narrowly escxped with bia Ife, only, however, to forfeit it subsequently in the mis- monary cacee among ‘he same savages. His cecort, which consted of « party of Hurocs, were marwmected, three of the ablefs being barned at the stake, end he himvelf was treated with dreedful cruelty, all bis finger usile having been pulled off sad the index Mnger of each hend gnawed awsy. He cecaped, however, with the aid of the Duteb Governor of Fort Orange—ihe present Albany— ord rubsequentiy hat © dispensation accor’e’ to him by Pope Innocent X. to celebrate mase (such right being pro- bivited to mutiiate¢ persons). the Pope giving as a reason for the diepensation that it would be urjustto deny to a martyr of Chriss the privilege of driaking th» blood of Orerist, “Jalignum eset Christi martyrem, Christi non Dibere sanguinem "” GRATITCDE OF TH JESUITS TO THY DUTCH. Paiber Jogues was received with marked distinction end kindrese by the heretics of New Amsterdam, and subsequently Father Breessai had equal cause to he grate- fat to our Dutch forefathors, It was remarked by the Dietorian O'Callaghan, thet these and similar acta of kindnese secured ever afterwards for both te inbabitants of Reneselserwick, as of the New Metherlands generally, the warm attachment and regard of the Jeeult missionaries, who allowed no oc- casion to piss withoct giving expression to their gratitude wed rempect PROSCRIPTION OF CATHOLICS. ‘But still the Catholic religion was proscribed in the new Netherlands, and im 1678 Governor Andros, in his report of religious eects in tute city, made ao mention of Catho- Noe, The first record found of the existence of any con- aigeradie number of Ontholice, or the residenos of any Catholic priest on the island of Mandattan, was in 1683, In the time of Governor Dongan, who was bimsolf a pro: fessor of that religion, ard who subsequently became Karl of Limerick, and shared in the adverse fortunes of James Il, Indeed, in the first charter of freeiom and exemp- Sons it wes implied, aad in the amended charter of 1640 eTpresa!y provided, ‘hat no other religion but the Pro- Mertant wae to be tolerated It is recorded that just two centuries ago, lo 1668, « Frenchmen wes brought ap by the Sheriff of Brokelen (Brookiyn) on a charge of refus tg to contribute to the support of the minister, the Rev.

SOME PRW LEFT. This ciroumstance shows that there were some Datholics reriding in the colony two hundred years ago. It te shown also by a letter written at the time by the M'nister D-qwinie Megapolensis to the Cleese at Amsterdam, in which be mentions that Fatber Le Moyne, a celebrated Josult missiorary—the same who discovered the Ovon- age salt springs in 1684—bad been on « visit to the War battans, “op seoount of the pspiste resi fing here, and expecia!ly for the accommedation of the French aailors, who are papista, and who have arrived hore with a good prize.” OV. DONG AN CHARGRD WITH FAVORING PATIETS. One of (he charges against Gov. Dongan by the Olea ffe sted under | Aisier, was ‘hat ‘he did erect a Jeauite tollege upon Culloor, to learn Latin to the judges Wext. Mr. Greham, Judge Pa’mer and John Tudor did contribute the'r sonen for some time, but noboddy imitating them, the college vanished '’ It wen said that pspieta regan to rete im the covony under the smiles of the Governor, snd that the collector of the revenues and several priacipal offloom threw cff the mask and openly avowed their attachment w the doctrinos of Romo. NINE PAPISTS IN THE COLONY IN 1688, All through L+isier's prociamation he harps apon the iabolical des'gbs of the wicked and crust Papiata;”’ and im fectthe Native Amorican outrages of 1844, and the more recent abrurditios of the Know Nowbing party, found their origin in the anti-Oatholi > demonstrations of 1638, in Kew Ameterdam n 1606 the return made by the Mayor to Gov.

One of the peral acts parted by the home governmen agninet Catholic priesta—that of 1700, in the reign of ‘William TIT.—rectted that, ‘ whereas divers jesuits, priesta and popish missionaries have of late come, and for some time have hal their residewce in the remote parts of his Majoety’s adjacent cofoniee, wlio, by their wicked and #0!

Tn cane of oscaape and capture bo was to euiTyr death; and there who harbored such clerical offenders were to pay & fine of two hundred pounds, and to «tend three aye in the piliory. In 1701 © law was passed depriving “Papie's and Popieh recusents’’ of the privilege of voting for members of Assemb!y oF any office whatever. This law was repented by the state Logisiature in 1784, BEMOs AL OF DISABI: I'TEHS. It was no wendor, therefore, un er the operation of PBs such penal enactments and such +cclal persesation that the Catholic population of Manhattan did not increase Jarge)y in bombers. It was not till after the evacnation of the British troops in 1783 that this persecuting spirit ceased, that toleration commenced to be practized, and that Catholics begun to assemble for public worship. Thenceforth they were subject lo no disabilities, and from that time the Catholic church im the city of New York dates its origin. FIRST CATHOLIC CLERGYMEN AND PLACES OF ‘worsulr. The first clergyman of the Catholic persuasion that came to preside over a congregation here seems to hav been a Susbian namoi Ferdinand Steinmeyer, who for some reason sdopted the name of Farmer, and was known ac Father Farmer, Hv oxme from Philadelphia for the parpose, and used to celebrate mass, in 1781-2, over # ocarpenter’s shop near Barclay street, which was then on the northern outskirts of the city; aiso fo the parlor of the Spanish Consul, Don Thomss Stoughton; and subsequently in s houge belonging to Don Diegp de Garccqui, the Sprnish Ambaseador to the general govern- ment, which was then located in this city. About the seme period, also, the Catholics assembled for pablic worship im a building tm Vanxball Garden, which exiended along the North river from War- ren to Chambers street. In 1785 they applied for the use of the Fxchange—a building which then stood ‘at the lower end of Broad atrect, and which was occupied ap acourt room; but not mucceeding in getting t, mea sures were taken for the erection of the first Catholic church in the city. At this time the regularly appointed clergyman was on Irish Franciscan named Rev. Chas. Whelan. He bad been a chaplain on board one of the French ships belonging to Admiral de Grassé’s fleet. He succeeded Father Farmer, who returned to Philadelphia, and died there in 1786, “tn the odor of sanctity.” Mr, Whelan hed as co-acjutors the Rey. Andrew Nugent anda French priest named La Valiniere, but he did not seem 10 agree very well either with them or his flock, and finally had to abandon his charge,as he could get only four of the cougregetion to vote im favor of b's ro maining. He was sent on the Kentucky mission, and was the firet Catholic missionary to that country. iB mcnoeseos, ME t, of seein to heve got on Zishop Carroll, of Aarylend, ta hea war, found \{ unecessary to deprive Lin of his charge over the coagregation, whieh Was then commhiel to the Kev, Wm.

Previously to this time, in 179d, the corner stone of St. Peter's, ihe frat Catholic church of the city of New York, bad been iaid by the Spanish Ambassedor, whose name we have mentioned before. The ground on which it stood—corner of Barcley and Church streets, where the present St. Peter’s now stands—had been purchased from the trustees of Trinity church. Its chief benefactor was Charles IIl., King of Spain, who is said to have con- tributed $10,000 to it, with the condition that two seats should be reserved for Spaniards travelling through the city. Father O'Brien travelled to Mexico, making coliec- tions for the purpore of duishing snd adorning toe courch. He there succecded in raising $4,920, besides a donation of $1,000 from the Bishop and Chapter of El Pueblo de Los Angelos, aud also procured some paint.ngs. He performed the duties of & pastor for many yeary with credit to reli- gion, and died the 14th of May, 1816, aged 76 years. NEW YORK ERECTED INTO A BISHOPRIC. ‘Up to 1808 New York had formed part of the diocess of Baltimore, but im het year Pope Pius Vil.—the same whom Napoleon the First treated #0 cavalierly—erected Baltimore into an arch-diocess wilh four suilragan seee> of which New York was one, ITS FIRS? BIBROP—HIS SUDDEN DEATH. ‘The pallium was bestowed on the Rev. Luke Concanen, a Domin‘can, who 1s said to have been very dear to the Holy Fatber. He was consecrated at Romo by Oardival Antonelli, on the 24th of April, 1808; but never lived t enter upon his episcopate duties. Having reached Naples, where he exposted to And a ship for the United States, b ‘was ecized by the French soldiery, who had possession of the city, and held as a British subject. While io their bands he died suddenly, and the circamsatances of his death gave riso to the suspicion that he fell a victim t> powon, the object being to get possession of his effects. It is not very likely, however, thet there was any good basis for the sugpic.on. THE SROOND BISHOP OF NEW YORK. Bishop Concanen’s successor wag aot appointed for six years subsequently, on account of the troubles which Pius VIC, experienced by means of the elder Napoleon's conduct wwarcs his sacred person. The see ia the mean- time was managed by Vicars General, Father Kohiman and Father Fenwick, both acting in that capacity. These clergymen visited the famous Tom Paine on his death bed. But on the 6th of November, 1814, the Rev. Joha Ooa- nolly, of the Order of St. Dominic, and at that time Prior of the Convens of St. Clements in Rome, was consecrated Bishop of New York. There wore then only four price {a his dioceses, and some 17,000 Ca:holios. He died at his residence 612 Broadway, on the 6th of February, 1825. BISHOP DUBOIS AND BIS DIOCESS. ‘The third Catholic Bishop of New York waa the Rev. Jobe Daovis,a Parisian. At the time of his appointment be was President of St Mary's College, Emmetisburg, Md. He was coceecrated in Baliimore October 29, 1836, and ed in New York on the 20th of December, 1842. In a letter which he wrote during bis episcopacy to the Council of the Propagetion of the Faith, at Lyons, he said, “Tam obliged to fulfil, at the same time, the duties of a bishop, parish prieot and catechist.”” He computed the number of Catholics in this city at that Lime at 36,000, and in the whole Giooees at 150,000. There were then in the city but four or five priesi#, and but four churches—the old cturch of St. Peter's, the now cathedral (unfinished), the old church of St. Mary's, in Sheriff street, and Christ chorch in Ann street. During bie episcopacy many a¢w churches were built, many religious and educations! institations organized, many priests and deacons ordained, and a great impetus given to the progress of Catholicism in New York. BISHOP HUGHES. The able divine who now governs the affairs of this dio- cose—- Archbishop Hughes—was appointed !n 1837 coadja- tor to Rehop Dubols, and was consecrated in St. Patrick's cathedral, in thie city, on the 9th of January, 1838, by Bishep Dubois, with the title of Bishop of Baaileopolis, in Partibus wmfideliwm (in beathen parta) It is the custom of the Catholic church, in the case of coadjutor bishops, to give them some such title, So the Right Rev. Joba MoClorkey, now Bishop of Albany, was appoimed coad- Jutor to Bishop Hughes, and consecrated en the 10th of March, 1844, with the title of Bishop of Axiern, in parti- tras nfidelinm, RW YORK EXECTRD INTO AN ARCHDISHOPRIC.

PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL. The church of whieh the corner stone is to be !aid to- @ral, the church now bearing that title being intended to be alienated, and disposed of for secular purposes. The cathedral is to be a gothic structare, in what is called the Rayonnaut style, and is to be built on the model of the continental churches, with nave, choir and tran- septe, There will be three aisles, senarated by lofty arches, eupported on marble co!umns; opposite each arch of the nave ira amali chapel. The interior is 320 fect long, terminated »y an epee; the high altar will stand about tty feet from theend, leaving room for a lady cha- pel im the rear; on either side of this, at the termination of the side aisles. are chapele capable of accommodating somo four hundred persons each. The church has a lofty clere- story; the ceiling is to be grained, and will be of either brick or stone. The vault is to be 120 feet in height from the pavement, and to rest on fifty-seven marble columns, All the windows will be filled with rich tracery. ‘The great west front is to be 150 feet in width, with a Jofty tower on each corner. The southern tower wiil be finished with an openwork spire, and crowned with a cross 333 feet from the pavement. The church is entered by a @eeply receseed porch, with long pendants. The porch is to be twenty eight feet wide and fifty four fest high. Above this the gable rises nearly one hundred feet, and contains an immense rose window. The plan was drawn by James Renwick, Jr., several years ago, and bas been his constant study since. It is simple in the extreme, and a model of construction. No sham work or carpenters’ gothic will be found in any part, but a!) is real stone; brick snd iron are the only materials to be ured. The walis stand on the solid rock, and from the marble floor to the vaulted roofeverything is designed to realist every agent but the slow finger of time. The plan is a Latin cross 328 feet long and 176 wide. Around the church, on the outside, will run a terrace five feet above the sidewalk, with a marble balustrade, and ap- proached by four fights of steps. The vaulting is sus. tained by buge buttresses, measuring five by sixteen feet of mascnry on the ground, aad rising tn pinnacles of fret- work high above the roof. Fiying buttresses springing from these brace the clerestory walls. In point of size and apiendor the great cathedral of New ‘York will excel any ecchesiastic structure on this continent. It is not eo long as some of the largest European cathe. Grails, but it. is broader than most of the French, and higher than the majority of English cathedrals. It is twenty feet wider and thirty feet higher then York Minster, and vauked with masonry, while the latter is coiled with wood, It will also present as lovg @ perspec- tive, as it is unbroken by screens and chapels. The nave is Voree feet wider snd nearly forty feet higher than St. Paul's in London. The work will be carried on under the direction of Messrs. Renwick & Auchmuty, of No. 88 Wall street. The foundations will be laid this sutumn, but nothing will be alo the Ansan pon Lady—at four o'clock P.
