To God, Most Good, Most Great, William, Bishop of the
Caribbee Islands, laid the first stone of this church, dedicated
to the Blessed Virgin Mary, constructed partly at the expence
of Great Britain, and partly of this colony ; the President .and
Legislative Body attending ; and the prayers of every one fa-
vouring it, 25th day of July, A.D. 1825.
The Lord Bishop having received the plate from Mr. Gar-
, nett, and the coins from the Treasurer of the Committee, de-
scended the steps, deposited the plate and coins in their proper
places ; and the Grand Master presenting his Lordship with the
silver trowel and cement, and laid the cement and returned to
the platform. The stone was then gradually lowered, during
which the children of the Central School chanted the 100th
Psalm, accompanied by the band of the 93d Regiment. Then
the Lord Bishop went down, with the Grand Master, who ex-
amined the stone with masonic ceremonies. The Bishop con-
cluded with the blessing, " The peace of God," &c., and re-
tired with the procession to the temple, where the model, a
beautiful piece of workmanship, was exhibited for the inspec-
tion of the public. The Royal Regiment, on the procession
moving off, presented arms, the bands struck up " God save the
King, and the Artillery again saluted. This novel and
gratifying spectacle attracted universal attention. So many
persons, not only of this parish, but from all parts of the
country, have scarcely at any period within our recol-
lection been seen in this town. The arrangements were
highly creditable to the Committee; to the zealous and in-
defatigable labours of the Secretary, particularly, we arc
grealy indebted. Every thing was conducted with perfect re-
gularity and order, and we were pleased to see that the im-
mense crowd of negroes behaved with great decorum. Through
the whole line of procession from St. Michael's-row to the Old
Church-yard, the balconies and windows of the houses were li-
terally filled with spectators, principally ladies and children.—
Using the language of the English reporters on such occasions,
we may say, probably with great truth, " all the beauty and
fashion" of the land was concentrated yesterday in this town.
The attention of .the gentlemen of his Majesty's Army and
Navy was very gratifying. The masonic procession was very
numerous, and the Royal Regiment, greatly to their credit,
made a most respectable muster.
