The procession passed along Albion-place, Harbour-
street,and Iligh street, to the ground appropi iated for the
building. Railings were placed to separate the spectators
from the parties engaged in the procession, and the ground
was adorned with innumerable flags, green boughs,
ornamented arches, Ste. On arriving at the spot, an
immense stone was lowered to the part dug for its
reception—the latest coins of the present reign were
deposited—a brass plate, handsomely engraved, was
affixed thereto-.-and a second stone covered the -whole,
to be strongly affixed by iron clamps. His Grace the
Archbishop spread the mortar with the trowel, and
joined the none with mallet in hand. A Prayer was
.then offered
.up by the Rev. R. HARVILY ; and after a
Psalm had been sung by the Charity Children, the
Primate concluded the ceremony by a Prayer, for the
occasion, and dismissed the whole with his blessing.
A temporary building was erected on the ground for
the reception of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kan?, who, together with the Princess Fsonotta, Mrs.
MANNERS SUTTON and daughters, the Earl and Coun-
tess MANVERE, honoured the ground with their presence.
The procession left the field about half-past twelve, and returned
to Albion-place in the same order as before, and took lure of his
Grace at his residence. The National Anthem of Gat stars tagging
was given in front of his house.; and the numerous parties engsigetl
in the procession, as well as the thousands of spectators assented:A
to view the ceremony, gradually separated, and withdrew fr." the
busy scene. The greatest order and regularity prevailed; and it.
was highly *retaking to see such unanimity of sediment. About;
sixteen Clergynien, from the neighbouring parisfsel, joined fir the'
procession; and the concourse of strangers was beyond descriptitin..
The streets were hung with flags and bough., and every.window,
looking to the line of the march presented lovely faces and an ani-1
mated scene. The New Church is intended to accommodate 4,1001
persons, of whom 1,200 are to have free sittings; and when the
increasing population of this town is taken into consideratio* the
edifice about to be erected will not be thought unnecessary. It is
supposed that nearly 10,000 persons were drawn together to-day.
