NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC COLLEGE Al

MILL-HILL.

Yesterday Archbishop Manning laid the first
stone of the permanent buildings of " St. Joseph's
College of the Sacred Heart for Foreign Missions'
—a college founded " under the especial benedic-
tion of the Sovereign Pontiff and of the Arch-
bishop and Bishops of the English Hierarchy," for
the purpose of educating missionaries for the con-
version of the heathen, and for the work of the
Church in the British Colonies. This institu-
tion bears some analogy to our own St. Angus'
tine's College at Canterbury, and to the Serai-
naries des Missions Etrangeres established ja
France under the auspices of the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith. The site chosen is high
and well adapted for the purpose, consisting of
nearly 30 acres, adjoining the house at present
occupied by the students and their principal, the
Rev. Mr. Vaughan. On the arrival of the corn-
pany yesterday they found prepared for them a
sumptuous dejeivier, given, we believe, by LadY
Herbert, who numbered among her guests, besides
the Archbishop, Dr. Morris, Bishop of Troy, and
Dr. Cornthwaite, of Beverley, a large number of the
London and Westminster clergy, the Marchioness
of Lothian, the Ladies Howard, the Ladies Noel,
Lord and Lady Herries, the Master of Herries, and
about 200 other members of the Roman Catholic
aristocracy. After a short address by Archbishop
Alarming, a procession was formed through the
grounds, a short service of Latin prayers was said,
and the stone was solemnly blessed and sprinkled
with holy water. " Benediction" was afterwards
said in the temporary chapel, and the company dis-
persed. The new buildings, which are to be in the
Lombardo-Venetian style, will be in the form of an
irregular quadrangle, with a cloister running round
it, and a church and tower at one corner. They
are designed by Mr. George Goldie, of Kensington-
pro-Cathedral" in the course of erection
near P
square, who is also the architect of the new Roman
Catholichillimore-gardens. When completed the
is intended to accommodate about 80
students, who, as well as the principal and the pro-
feEsors, will occupy each a single-room ; and the
range of business will embrace a common room,
college
library, hall, and refectory, together with a hand-
some chapel, 100 ft. in length, which it is intended
to utilise also as a parochial church for the Roman
Catholics of the neighbourhood of Mill-hill. IV-0
believe that this is the first purely Missionary Col-
lege established in England by the Roman Catholics
since the Reformation.
