alt would be needless for me to describe
the forms and ceremonies of Roman Catho-
lie worship. But cannot hell noticing one
important particular connected with the so
ing to church in this country. There are
no pews allowed to be made in the churches
here. The priests have benches or large
chairs highly decorated to sit upon, but the
congregation flock altogether. The stone
floors of the churches are entirely open, and
the only sort of seats used by those who at
tend the service are common rush-bottom
chairs, of which there are great many
kept In every church. The chairs are piled
UP on one side, when there is no service go
ing on in the church, so that the floor of the
church is as open as that of an English barn.
A trife ofmoney is paid to an attendapt by
the persons who call for chairs. When peo-
pie are at church in this country, there is no
sort of distinction made between classes or
ranks. People enter the church at all times
every day of the week, to say their prayers
and to sprinkle themselves with holy water,
as they are passing by On business or other
wise. There is nothing of that contesting
for the "chef seats" at church. as is too

other small fish, were taken out OF the shoal

as have been imported, or printed in Spain

In New York, on the 18th inst, four Of
six new two story brick houses, the walls Of
which had been just finished, fell down, and
six workmcn, who were preparing the roof
for shingling, prccipitated to the earth
and buried in the ruins: they were however
soon cXricated p, but were SO much Injured,
that the lives of two Of them are despaired
of. 1t is stated, that the walls Of these
houses were constructed in frai and scan
dalous manner; the mortar upon which the
bricks were laid, being little else than pure
sand, and almost entirely destitute OF the
ingredients for Il proper cement. The
proper authorities should take it upon them
selves to examine buildings in future, and
enforce such regulations as may not only
protect the life ct the labourer, but also that
of the passing citizen who is in danger of be-
ing crushed to death by such an accident.
1t is gratifying to learn that the corporation,
after viewing the ruins and satisfying them
selves of the dangerous tendency of erecting
buildings in this shameful manner, ordered
the Remaining houses to be torn down. The
names Of the master builders arc Nichols,
the Mason, and Austin the Carpenter.
