This edifice was turned fromthe uses for “which it was built by the Saxons, who made it a placo for their i IDOLATROUS WORSHIP, * Behelbert the Firth, King of Kent, vecamo allied in marriage to Bertha, the daughter of Childebert, King of France, some time before the year 697, A. D. Queen Bertha was a zealous Christian, and had @tipulated that she should be allowed to con- tinue to attend the ceremonies of her faith fn her new home, She therefore brought with her to England, as her chaplain, Luidhard, Bishop 1 Soissons, This prelate performed the coremontes ‘Of the Catholic Church in the whilom Christian 1, and thus it was again brought to the pur- pose for which it was devised. In the year above Mentioned Augustine, a Roman prelate, now known @4 8 saint and often called the b APOSTLE OF GREAT BRITAIN, Was sont by Popo Gregory the Great, with forty missionaries, to cultivate the seed of faith that had Deen planted in England by Queen Bertha and her Chaplain, Upon his arrival in England he wor- shipped tn the church of Canterbury, and began his ministrations to the needs of the jan islanders. There are many opinions prevailing smong those interested in old Church history of the eMcacy and propriety of those ministrations. With those matters, however, this article has nothing to The heart of King Ethelbert had become at- tracted toward Christianity, and soon his arrival in the country Augustine oe Yn thet faith. the new cont vert necame vel zealons t farther the spread of his religion, A tine vee Boon after created an archi nop. and Ethelbert, w by Queen Bertha, ented him with the city of terbury, with all its dependencies, as his sec, and th church of Canterbury became the cathed Augustine died, according to som = thoritiea, A.

It was afterward trans- ferred to the north h of the cathedral, and Analy into its body, Fhis atruoture of the ROMAN CHRISTIANS, with some alterations, 1s supposed to have con- tinued to used until the eighth century. Then, tt is asserted by many authorities, Archbishop Theodore began the erection ol another buflding on its site. This edifice ‘was finished by Archbishop Bregwine, in 760, Other equally authorities, however, from comparing the figures on the capitals of the col- umns of both, conceive the origin of the nndercroft Of the cathedral to have been coeval with that of GRYMBALD's CRYPT at Oxford, which is beileved to have been con- structed in the ninth century. The primitive form ph the patucdral pulidce, ap described by contempo- “he root of the cathedral, to the extent of one’ Tary writers, was very simple. It was that of a parallelogram, At its north and sonth sides, near the west end, there were towers or entrance Porches. At its east side a part of the edifice was raed on wpe, and teriminated in & circle. Over this were two altars and a presbyteriuin; under 1! @ crypt or undercroit, the floor of which was leve With the choir, The archicectural whims of the prelaves and the sopeeriag necessitated by the visits of fire have changed the building 80 that the edifice that was attacke’ by the flames yesterday lad but Little of thy | byliding abont it.

On arriving at a proper age hé | Was Becht to the University at Pau, where he com- | pleted his education. After having finished his | theological studies he was, in 1853, ordained a priest of thé Roman Catholic Church, and for a while oMciated in the parish of St, Sulpice. After- ward he taught philosophy and theology in the Catholic universities of Avignon and Nantes. He subsequently entered the convent of the Baretooted Carmelite Friars, at Lyons, and became a member ofthat order, tn connection with which he re- Mained until the 20th of September, 1869, when he formally left it and the Church of Rome, d¥ ap- peared by his letter of defence, published at the Moment and subsequently. His cloquence as a preacher in Lyons soon began to attract atten- | tion, and crowds flocke:l to hear him. During the Advent (or ante-Christmas) season of 1863 he preached in Bordeaux, and in the Lenten season of 1864 at Perigueux. In 1864 he was called by the Archbishop of Paris to preach in the Church of the Madeleine, witn which request he complied, and subse uently, he preached a course of Advent ser- ibis Ia the Cathedrat of Notre Dame. It was this sertes of discourses that gave him the brilliant Teputation he enjoys as a pulpit orator.

Some idea of his power as 4& pedcher may be formed from the following graphic sketch written by one of his heare: Protestayt gentleman, in 1867, The sermon here alluded to was delivered in the Notre Dame Cathe- dral during the Lenten season. ‘The writer says:— “But now’ the tall Swiss halbordier, making a pas- sage along the aisle, announces the appioach of Yere Hyacinthe, and tustantiy this whole sea of faces is turned toward him, with an expression of sympathy 80 intense as seemed enough to electrify one who came in all Bele and sincerity to bring to them the words of liie, He followed siowly with his eyes cast down, tis face pale, and, mounting the steps of the pu'pit, he knelt down and buried his face in silent prayer, Then rising, he stood, with erect and majestic form, and for some moments regarded tn silence those to whom he was to speak, while a deep sigh invol- untary escaped from his large chest. Al- though I was already under the magnetism of this extraordinary man, my eye, as an artist, took in all the surroundings of the scene. In scenic effect nothing could exceed the beauty of the tableau—the dark backg ound of the pul pit, iu ancient carved oak; the form of the preacner rendered more striking by the robe of bis Order (he 18 a Carmelite monk, and wears a long serge gown with only sandals on bis feet), with his white cowl thrown back upon his shoulder, his head shaven so as to leave only achaplet of hair upon his brow, while the light from above fell upon his bare head, nd his countenance, s0 sad and beautiful, yet re- sponding with quick sympathy to all the regards turned toward him. Surely, if he had studied all this mise en scene, he is a master in the-art. He began to speak, and from that moment [ wished to believe in the sincerity, in the piety, in the Christian faith of this man—for if he is not all that he profanes the most beautiful gifts of Providence. Never did a voice more sympathetic strike my ear; never did fed Wi periect captivate and control the human eart. Father Hyacinthe visited the United States, He landed in New York from the steamship Pereire on the 1sth of October, 1869, his advent and after cleri- calexertions marking a peculiar epoch in the his- fer. of the Church in America, Many of the joinan Catholic clergy in the Old World and the New, 1t 13 said, sympathized and still sympathize with him in his etfort against cpiscopal rule as itis sometimes administered. He was “prohibited,” so it is termed, by his quondam monastic superiors, but has outlived the consequences. Monsignor Felix Dupanionup, the distinguished Bishop of Or- leaves, reproved him in a circular, which was con- cluded by an invitation on the part of His Lordsht requesting the Pere to return to the fold. To ti he replied as follows :— hy Sept. 26, 1969, Moxsriongox—I_ am much touched by the fecling which dictated the leiter you acdressed to me, and Tam most grateful for the prayers you so kindly put up in my behalf, but I cannot accept either your reproaches or our counsels.

The gain for the administration is thus far more than thirty per cent upon the vote last year, and the majority for the republican candidate for Governor will be over twenty-five thousand. The struggle has been a severe one, and the victory is there- fore the more complete and significant.

The demoerats have gained considerably in @ number of towns, especially in Rutiand and Mont- pelier, but not suMicient to affect the heavy re- publican majority heretofore reported. The coall- tlon seems to have been a complete failure; and whatever bargain may have been mado between the administration party and the opposition, by which the republican votes for democratic and llberal candidates for the Legislature were to be exchanged for the votes of the coalitionists for Governor does not appear to have been kept on the part of the majority. It is pretty certain that about as many disaffected democrats joined the republicans as liberal repub- licans joined hands with the democrats, But three or four democrats have been elected to the Tegis- lature thys far, and only one liberal.

In this clty the canvass has been thorough and the oxcite- ment in politics has run higher than ever before, owing to the multitude of manufacturing establishments and their con- stant increase, which attracts a good number of the foreign element. The liberal democrats have hoped for better things this year, and some have even been so hopeful as to expect to elect their repre- sentative to the State Legislature, THE CENTRE OF THE FIGHT. The large share of the interest has centred in the contest over city representative, Both parties have been thoroughly organized—the Grant party with their Grant and Wilson clubs of older voters and tanners among the young men, and the Greeley party with their clubs and young woodchoppers. Every exertion had been made to reach every voter in the city, and the rush to the voting lists, previous to the election, for the regis- tering of names, was as exciting as the election itself, There has been some disaffection in the re- publican ranks over the nominee for Representa- tive, and a portion of them had put up a temperance candidate (Russell), which had given the liberals some hope, but this morning it was announced that Russell had withdrawn and the contest lay between Baliou, republican, and Roberts, liberal democrat, which encouraged the republicans. ,THR VOTING, The. moment the polla were opened the work commenced and the voting was brisk up to the moment of closing. Although there was the most intense excitement no serious disturbance oc- curred during the voting, which was carried on quietly and like clockwork from the fact that none could vote except those wnose names were regis- tered. Both parties had a vast array of teams to bring in voters and were dashing about in all parts of the city with their colors fying and labelled with the names of their respective cand!- dates. AS the others came in they remained around the polls, and it soon became a matter of considerable difficulty to make one’s way to the ballot box. The city seemed to give itself up to the work, business generally being at a stand still, By order of the Mayor all the saioons had been closed and littie drunkenness was tobe seen, As the fimy. ouorgsehed sor Mie-slaAlng of Ye box 9f i Coats.of Ar; “ontative the crowd became tmmen-e and Repré>. wont move intense, although every oud the excit@n — good spirits.
