“90 iS ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL. ‘Grand Ceremony of Laying the Corner Stene. BIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. Procession of Bishops, Priests, Choristers and Religious. Societies. THE ARCHBISHOP’S SERMON. @ne Wandred and Three Thousand Dellar Subscribers, Two of them Protestants, COLLECTIONS AT THE CORNER STONE. BITUAL AND CHORUS, Aes, Re, Reo One of the grandest ceremonies that was ever witnessed em this continent was that which took placo yesterday, in emmnes*10n with the taytog of the corner stone of the new &. Patrick's Cathedral, between Fiftioth and Fifty-firet strcows and Fourth and Fitth avenues. From two o'clock uuwerd, al) be avenues from Beeond to Sixth, presented @ processional appearance, from the dense orowds that Kept eontioually pouring up toward the site of the new edifice. It appeared as if one-fourth of the population of New York were promenading in that direction. ‘The site of the charch presented quite a gals day ap- Pesrance, Tho ‘isgs—if not of ail nations, as least of quite & respectable nember of nations—were streaming from all sides of the square. Iu the centre was a fine two story platform, elaborately decorated with bunt- ‘Ing—the lower portion occupied by an excellent band, ad the upper portion reserved for the vishops, weme of the clergy, and members of the press. ‘The roofs and windows of the Catholic Orpban Asylum, the dullding now used as Columbia College, and of all the other buildings, public and private, that commanded a view ef the place, were filled with spectators, As for the square iteelf, bounded as we have described, it was Mterally packed, The only marvel was, bow the women, whe consti‘ated fully ome half of tae attendance, managed to endure the pressure to which they were subjected. As it was, there was many ® shriek and exclamation, bat we have not heard that any mn was injured. The old poplar trees about the neighboPhood were us densely pop- ulated as any rookery ever was; and every now and then a limb would give way with its weight, adding to the sprightliness aud excitement of the acene. Some people eetmated the muitiiude at from ® hundred w a hupdred and thoorand; bot thet was an exagceration. ‘There were at all events, at the lowost computation, sixty ousand people preavnt. It was the largest sssondiage @ar reporter ever raw im this cily. It was more than love of show that brought such an assemblage; it waz, above all, rezpect for religion and the oid feeling of reverence tor the ‘Saint of Ireland, ‘The platform seemed to be in adout the centro of this fmmense gaihering. Looking eastwardiy from it, it had fn fle immcoiate front a large wooden crocs pamted whivs, eccupying the spot where tho alter of the catnedra! is to | SUM farther in front of that foated the green flag ef Erin, bordered with shamrocks and with the myn arp in tho centre. It war flanked on cituer side by the Acstrian flag and by a tri-color, the nationality of which cur reporter could nw learn Tho Irism flag soomed to Be as much « rallying point as the space imms- diately in front of the spot whence tae sermon sa to be delivered. One of the managers of ceremony, Mr. O’Doanell, ® gentleman to ‘whom our reporter was much indebted for civilities, mentioned to a policeman that he was afraid this flag cred, and neked bim to seo and have tlieor, whose Milesian blood took the tear the e tivated at harf @ dozen points. southwest point there was @ platform set up corner stone It, too, wan devoraled with the stars and atiipos, and draped with the pontifical ™.. plavform was kept exclusively for thore whom K Was intouded ty accommodate, Ifere was a largo under the cow- ‘Imadge aad Deputy Super- vr; but with a piek es, Who Look that occasion to operate, keeping back (he pressure, there was 00 ooca-ton for the exerc'se of thetr suthority, there was pot the — miwerpduet on the pars of apy of that immen<* mal 'y it \ fePrecisely at ‘our o'clock the procession commenced to ty A ¢ of St. John the Evangelist, a frame hovee and church: b the mtended cathedral of the different sive giver candlesticks ; wen ‘acd worptices , then the following right reverend biehops in cope aad miire, attended by tueir chaplains »— Roent Reverenc —— land, Hartford.

It is a tinal consommation of our own privilege, for by a voice from the croes of Calvary she was assigned to us in the — of St. John the Pvangelist as our mother, the dying wiour uttering these words :--''80u, bohold thy mo. ther.” It is touchingly aftecting, I have said, that she, if we might ure sucb language, waited until the definition of her exemption from orginal sin could be, as it has been, prociaimed by the voice of the supreme on earth, without: icine! any etrife or ancharitablenese; noy, 1 might add, without producing to much asa ripple caim sea of Catholic faith.

On the other hand, thia money might have been givem to the poor. Ali this will bo threwy pp at you by those who are of this world, ani bave uo Comprebeusion of what is really faith and wot i: really charity. Aad i ig significant that you would soem to Delong, in this cage, to the gukool of Jhrist when he bore with the extravagance of Magdalene in pourmg owt moent on his saci od foet—and your scousere (if it were moet uncharitable t say 20) would seem to schoo! of bim who carried the purse, and loked ‘pepitent: pays offering aa if it were a defrauding of poor. Now i will say for you, tom, thisis a gr for the poor. It comes up at a time when unusually deprersed—your cherity wil! give them Table employment to & Gupsiderabie exient, and as World ig now vovetituted compensation for hones! labor much better than aims for the relief of poverty under an upavoldable pri re which imposes Kueness by neces sity On the working Ciatuw. Now, when you are re- proached with your extravagance, ugk your accusers whether it is i fact a crime to provide employment and c mpeveation for the mechaui¢ and Jaborer, who reauy belong to the subetantial of society in ail coun- triee. But then they wil say, you are Casholica, aod we tave to eupport so many more of your poor, than of any other denom‘nation, would it not have been better to provide shese your humble brediren, the comforts of & charitable roof and home, than waste uo muca money im founding whst, no doubt, you istend as a gorgeous cathedral? When they tel) you this, do not forget the charpy that w cue to persons; but, as for the argument fteelt, lavzh te to scorn, aad’ eay,’ that the balding of eathedrais and churches was in sll sges, mtimate Papas gree conducive bony alte oy @ poor, uuiil the period when cestors of those who accuse you, scusily ae, ruped, s0 fer as bhuwan agency could accomplish it, the plan of Crit for the protoctaon of the poor. Bay to them, that the Ares iady mm Coristendom that ever wit- peered what wo now call pauperis, was Queon Eyizabeth ; that ber father was the robber of the poor, in suppress img churches, monasteries and cathedrals ia Vatuwotic Eag- land; that, exceptas weed iv the Goepet beats yes, the word pauper was ubkuown2 'n the wodern ake oe of Christendom untu the period ast referred to; that it is creditabie to her woman's ps\ure that Klxabeth sympa thizea with the poor, and thas afier ome or two bomitier addressed to her tran bear'ed Parliawent oc this sabjrct, sbe was in very desperation compelled to introduce, al- most to the ehame of Christianity, haman jaws forciog men tosupport their own destitut» brewrem. Compu sich was Recessary—the a Of charity im the Gospel, as prescribed by onr Lore, nad become inefiicient ant mp parently obsolete; and ik Aa requisite to invoke the same buman legrelative authority, Which is divinely imativuved for the papish ment of crime and tne protecwion of society, ip order to make Christians (Oh, what ® phrase!) iove each other, or at least to pay something into the public treasury to prevent men from dying of star yation. Has ell this resulud in benefit tue poor? f cannot answer the question. I can only € my own Tegnet that it hes impored a triple expevditare apoa the rich, froma ove-third of which poor, seoording te the old Cutbolis system, would have been well provided lor, without the necessity of f.flicting upon thom the stigma E of social degradation.
