Roms, June 29, 1867, ‘The religious ceremonies in celebration of the. @ighteen hundredth anniversary of St. Peter's ‘martyrdom, and in reverence of St. Paul and He: canonization of twenty-five Dutch, French end Spanish martyrs, who died in Japan, as saints , ‘waa one of the most gorgeous religious ceremo- mies witnessed in the world since the dsys of King Solomon. The observances were commenced yesterday ‘evening with a general illumination of the city of Rowe. ®aint Peter’s shone like great church en fire. ‘At seven o’clock this morning there was « grand procession of prelates, priests, monks and soldiers - fizem the Vatican to Saint Peter's. His Holiness, the Pope, was carried on his throne. | ‘There was an immense crowd assembled in the futerior of the church before his arrival. @t. Peter's was most magnificently decorated ‘with cloths of gold, silver tapestries, paintings and two hundred thousand yards of crimson silk. ‘The building was lighted with many millions of ‘was candles. , ‘There were one hundred thousand people inside {te walls, including the ex-King of Naples, the foreign Ministry, five hundred cardinals, arch- * Mahops an/,‘ishops, and many thousands of cler- qymen, priy %, friars and monke. ‘There were even nuns and soldiers from almost every country in the world present, and the as- sembled multitude made up a most brilliant con- gregation. Pope Pius the Ninth celebrated the Gregorian mass in Latin and Greek. ‘Phere were two interreptions to the ceremony. ‘The curtains of one of the windows of tlie @burch caught fire at one moment, but they were wpeedily torn down by the guard, and no damage eccurred. After this a man who had become’ crazy from excitement produced by the pomp and glitter and Nights, out his throat, and died just under the Bronze statue of Bt. Peter. ‘There was no confusion in consequence. His bedy was quickly removed outside. ‘The Pope at once proceeded to reconsecrate the @barch stained with the blood of the suicide, and ‘then proceeded with the service of the altar. Lésts composed extra music for the grand Mass, end s chord placed on the dome of St. Peter's made the angelical responses, the cannon of @astle Ban Angelo thundering forth the accom- peniment instead of the organs. Mhe Pope's voice during the celebration was @ear and very sweet, and heard all over the ebarch. . ‘16 wae s most sublime scene when at the elevation . @f the Host the prelates, priests and nobles, pea- ' gantry and soldiers, who were spectators, knelt te earth to do reverence to the Higher than the Highest end who had become for men Lowlier than the Lowliest of all those present. ‘The city illuminations, fireworks, races and gen- @wal festivities in honor of the centenary anniver- sary, will continue during s week. THE EIGHTEENTH CENTENARY. ‘The eighteen hundredth anniversary of the death of Bt. Peter by martyrdom in Rome, as claimed by the Oburch, occurred yesterday, when the eighteenth cen- tary celebration of that nlemorable event was solemized tm the Eternal City, as reported in the special cable telegram to the Herat published above, with all the georgeous solomnity and devotional expression of israrobical and ecclesiastical pomp, display and altar wervices which can be given by the attendance of over fove hemdred Catholic prelates—cardinais, patriarchs, ‘Viesse-apostolic, archbishops, bishops and mitred ebbdote—and about thirty-four thousand clergymen and members of the inferior orders—priests, monks, friars and Christian Brothers—assembled from all parts of the ‘world at the call of the aged Pontiff, Pope Pius IX, who holds the seal of the Fisherman and the Keys of the Catholic Charch. The religious ceremonies which were completely epened yesterday morning (20th) will be continued to-day (80th of Jane), and concluded on the 6th and 7th @f July, when will be perfected by the Sacred Congre- gation of Rites the beatification and declaration of martyrdom of the Catholics, clerical and lay, whe encountered death for the faith in different parts of the empire of Japan in the early days of the seventeenth evatory. ‘The Catholic Fathers claim in their writings that the Church enjoys a perpetual youth, that she knows not age, and that she is ever appearing in renewed strength ‘and more beautifal before the world; and it must be ac- that they have bad very fair ground for the Mmertinn. when w9 a9 thas ig ciahiows bundred yeas gubsequent to the death of Peter she calls to Rome ber mitred bishops and barefooted friars from the most extreme parts of the American contisent, from the Bishops’ Sees and schools of the shores of Now Zea- land, the trozen regions of the North Pole, from Africa and Asia, and that they all come to the centre of unity of that particular form of belief to read in the hight of the lamp of faith that the eighteen centaries which have passed count as nothing to the grand religious future, which they consider to be merely dawning on the Christian world, and which will perhaps be realized, should their eburch be restored to the simplicity of Christianity, as preached by the Master of Poter. All classes of society are represented by men of all shades of color known to the buman family in this ex- traordinary convocation, and all stand before the great altar of the Church of Saint Jobn of Lateran to-day on terms of perfect equality ; some of the most noble families in Europe sending forth the heirs to their namesand titles in the garb of the penniless Jesuit, while men of the most humble origin appear in the ecarlet-hats and stockings of Cardinal Princes of the Church, a wonder- ful blending of theocratic aristocracy and extreme democracy by means of vigilant and unrelaxing Giscipline, seconded by an educated obedience. Having premised thus far we shall proceed to speak of the first ceremonials connected with the anniversary of the death of Saint Peter, as well as of the men by whom they are being conducted, and from whence these men come. In this connection it is entirely appropriate that we should set out with a short rerwmé of the more promi- ment points which occurred in the life of Saint Peter— the principal historical character in the scene—events which, we fear, have been lost sight of toa very great exient in many of the churches, and which, we doubt not, the people at large will be rejoiced to find repro- ‘duced in the columns of the Hxraxp for purposes of future reference, The biographical sketch is taken in the main from the New Testament, the deductions are for the most part Catholic, for being at present in Rome we act on the courteous maxim of doing as “Romans do,” and permit the church to give her own explanation ; with these remarks we submit to our readers the fol- lowing :— SKETCH OF THE LIVE OF SAINT PETER—UHIS MISSION AND DATE. St. Peter, the ‘Prince of the Aposties,”’ was originally named Simon. His father was a fisherman of Bethsaida, near the lake of Gen , in Galilee, which was also the birthplace of his brother, St. . When Simon ‘was about forty years old his brother ted him to our Saviour, who, receiving him as one of his Apostles, surnamed him Cophas, which in the Syriac signifies stone, or rock. For some time St. Peter did not habitually attend our Lord on his journeys, but always went to hear him when he taught the multitude. One dav, Jerus was on the shore of lake Gennesareth, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias, and knowing that Peter and Andrew had all night cast their nets in vain, be told the fishermen to go further out from the shore. They did so, and so abundant was the take that notonly their own but also that of St, James and St John, was filled. ro himself to express his gratitude, and jimself unworthy to approach his Lord,” The humilit: of Peter ured him a new call from Jesus. Peter's sea, He again called upon them « follow him, and it ‘hat occasion that from # mere fisherman Peter Ry te be one or the other of the 8, Peter replied in that celebrated confession, that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of tne living God, This reply obtained for him the by that spirit which Jesus, on Free po sew ag they should be inspired with. the gush of the zeal by which they were their strange and language astonished the people of Jerusa- Le even the strangers who heard them, Some of the Jews took occasion to reproach them as being in- risen e dend, three 1 persons were converted and asked into Syria, to S ieeipeearen of Ani La famous city of tne East, sud goneldered ws the reny atte i af i i lH ! ! iy i Al i i i 1: au a Ul att it i ey &. 4 z AH a RHE Eegss32 | UTR {Te site E 3 & divina, year 42 F tb are com- monly atiribuied to pontificate or St. Peter.

The prelates of the Catholic world commenced to move towards the centre of unity as soon after the re- coipt of the Pontifical rescript as they bad made the necessary arrangements for the rule of their respective sees during their absence, Immediately after the 3d of June they wore observed nx their way through the cities of England, Ircland, France, Belgium, Germany and Italy, and during the week ending the 8th of June an extraordinary number of chiefly French, passed through Florence on their way to Rome. It was calculated, indeed, that Ove hundred persons, belonging ‘to the rehgious orders, were in the capital of Italy in two days, en rowe, Of the foreign delegations, the most encour- aging to,the Pontiff, in a strictly rel glows point of view, are (hose from the United States of Ai ica, Engiand, many, the Lebanon and Africa, the United States ia represented by episcopal and priestly delegations from the arcaiepis- itimore (the Metropolitan Sec), Cinginnati, New Orleans, New York, Oregon, St. Louis, andSan Francisco, while every one of the Suffragan Sees attached to the different archdioceses have algo their delegates, all of whom appear In ‘the dignity of citizen en, protected under a constitution which affords ‘the post perfect religious toleration, and as clergymen unt melied by “entangl alliances”’ with the State government, and free to “come and go” just aa they think best for the purposes of tne minisiry and the public good. Indeed, the principal Catholic clergymen in the United States’ are at present in the Eternal City. ‘The Archbishop of New York is represented by the Rev, William Starrs, Vicar General, most of the other prelates attending, | believe, in person, all addresses expressing the it devout attachment to the Holy soe, with other very substantial evidences of the universality and endu- ranca of the faith of the flocks committed to their charge, The Most Reverned Joha B.

The Am prelates and priests bear, it is said, in the acgreza®, an amount of money equal to three bun- dred thousaid dollars in gold, tne result of very recont collections tkeo in their dioceses in aid of the Holy See.

Peter he left trace of his sacred fees upon a stone still preserved im the Cuureh of St. Sebastian. had St. Poter re-entered the city when he was arrested and taken to the Mamertine prison. There he rematmed chained during nino months, The chain was found A.D. 126, by St. Balbina, and then given to Theodora, a noble Roman lady, sister of St. Ermes, who was then of the city, but who suffered martyrdom, iy afterwards Theodora gave the chain to Sixtus L, martyr; it was placed in the Church St, ad vincula, after it was restored by Eudoxia, wife of the Emperor Valentinian Iil., under the reign of Pope Sixtus IIL, about the year 439. St. Peter waa violently tormented in the Mamertine Prison, where he was confined with St, Paul. From the rison St, Peter was taken to the Janiculum, and was then put to death. He obtained it as a special favor from the executioner that he was to be crucified with his head downward, deeming himself unworthy to be Peal Fy in the same position as his divine According to the opinion of Baronius, of prother San- gallo, and of Novaes, Peter suffered martyrdom in the year of our Lord 69.' The Diario, already quoted, gives the date of 65; but if, as has been expressly said, the twenty-five years of St. Peter's ponti menced in the 42, it must be admitted that his death took place in the year 67. The body of St. Peter was at first interred in the cata- combs and then transferred to the Vatican. His head, aa weil as that of St, Paul, is over the high altar of the Basilica of St. John of Lateran, where they were placed by Pope Urban V., A. D. 1370. ‘THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION, The eighteen hundredth anniversary of the death of the martyr apostle opened, consequently, yesterday morning. The day has been ever celebrated in Rome, but it is now being observed with unusual devotional magnificence. The preparations have been going on actively in the city during the past six weeks, and mavy of the foreign bishops—foremost among whom was Monsignore Valerga, Patriarch of Jerusaiem—arrived as early as the 8th of the month. The Vatican was soon busy—Pope Pius the Ninth com- tmanded the celebration of public prayers, fasts, and the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the three patri- archal basilicas—st. John Lateran, St, Peter's, and Santa Maria Maggiore. The “holy crib’ of the Saviour was exhibited in the last named cathedral, and cach basilica was successively visited by the Holy Father, accom: panied by the members of the Sacred College, who trav- elled in eplondid state, which would be exceedingly surprising to St. Peter could he have beheld it in person. 4 (CITY IMPROVEMENTS, calculated to facilitate the travel to the different churches, were set on foot and completed with a celerity which would be worthy of useful imitation in New York. ‘The approach to the Vatican and St. Peter's was rendered more facile and agreeable to the vast numbers expected to resort there, on foot, during the ceremonies, from the Cis-Tib:rine quarters of the city, by the building of a porary bridge over the river from the port of Ri and tne cutting of a road from the right bank o! Tiber, straight through Monsignore de Mérode’s villa, to the Porta Angelica. This work was finished in style, and is of the greatest utility for the purposes intended, RAILROAD ACCOMMODATION. ‘The Alta Italia Railway Company issued return tickets at reduced rates, good for a month from the date of dis- Peg ret myo eens: the 10th of bee and lway pany we s Romén ompanyadogted, ore, ‘TH CELEPRANTS. ‘The chief celebrant in the religions ceremonies ar- to do reverence to the name and memory of his , Bt.

On the 3d of June the Pope held a public consistory, at which twenty bishops, already arrived from abroad, were present, This consistory discussed the quest! f the eanonization of the martyrs Josaphat, a Pole, Pierre Arbues and others, Frayers and processions introductory to the final cere- ‘monial followed daily. On the next Sunday afternoon the city was traversed in varions directions by tong trains of priests, monks and confraternities, and his Holiness repaired in state to officiate in the Church of St. Jonn Lateran. The sacred cradle of Christ was ex- pve to public veneration in the Church of Santa Maria laggiore. An interesting recurrence will, it is said, be added to the ceremonies, It is customary in Rome for priests who have exercised their sacred office for fifty years to say mass over azain like a golden wedding, with all tho formalities observed by them on their first celebrating it, The Pope, it ts said, means to celebrate bis messa nvvella this summer, in honor of St. Peter, in Bramante’s chapel adjoining the Church of San Pietro in Montorio, ‘This report haa, howevor. been denied by some of the Catholic journals, who assert that the Pope wants two years more to complete his fifty years of priesthood, but should he really feel disposed to dispense with that shght d:cuna, itis presumed he would have tll power to do 80,, His Horiness gave orders for some good rea- son for the steep ascont to the Charch of San Pietro in Montorio, in Janicuium, to be immediately rendered more level and practicable for carriagos, and five han- po laborers were at once engaged on the work night and day.

The Canonization. BRATIFICATION AND CANONIEATION OF THE MARTYRS OF JAPAN. Rome will be filled with foreign prelates and laymen from Saint Peter’s Day to the 6th and 7th of Juiy, when will be completed another grand religious ceremonial by the canonization of several zealous Catholics who laid down their lives for their religion in Japan. The Ponti- fical preparations for this solemn event were commenced early in the month of April, and have been continued daily since, with the exception of a short interruption which occurred during the Saint Peter's /étes, The American people will have # more clear compre- hension of the canonization ceremonies by a rehearsal of the preparatory acts performed by the Pope and the different clerical orders in relation thereto, as recorded im reacts undertaken by the Sacred Congregation of @ acts eon Rites relative to the cause of the beatifieation or declara- 5 il el $3 Fey tig 2ag8 shsr rch reside, and Most Eminent and Of Porto and Sante the Most Rev.

Lastly, ind with a more general and generous impulse, comes the fine aspiration of exalted Christianity that the may terminate the proceedings by the formation & » brief council which will declare the abandonmen\of the temporal power by the Holy Father, the disseveratye of the church from all connection with the State in Wery part of the earth, a strict return to the principle & voluntary offerings in support of the clergy and for ry religious porpose, and that the Popedom is a purty ecclesiastical pastorate, to be known as the Vicarship of Love, the dovignatine by whieb St. Ambrose defines tle episcopate of St. Pever.

Finding there was no meacsof transportation be telegraphed the department to have @ vessel assigned for his use, which request was mot compas Wi Aa bis orders were emphatic the Mexican and he found it prin, -5 80 except by journeying overland with blanket and havorsack, he telegraphed to Mr. Seward, tondoring his resignation, which was accepted and another Minisier appolated. .
