This edificc, justly admired rs the

was erected, remains, however, unfin-
ished in some Of its principal parts,
wanting the portico and the two tow
crs i'm front, which arc included I'm the
original design Of the distinguished ar
list. the late Il. II. Latrobe, by whom
It was planned. We arc gratiiied to
learn that The congregation intend TO
commence immediately the construc-
ton Of the two towers, according TO
the original plan, the drawings of
which have Of course been preserved.
The woodwork and other parts Of the
structure ATE already in preparation.
We hope that few wears will eiapsc

give due lightness and symmetry TO
the whole building, and complete one
OF the finest edifccs in our country,

the Cathedral occupies the highest
point Of ground in the city, its base
being elevated lis feet above the wa

bellishments, will be much more so.
The whole height of each tower from
the top OF the cornice of the building.
including the portions Of the towers
already built. is sixty. seven feet to the
summit of the spire. At the height of
about six feet above the present com
mencement, the towers assume a cir
cular form. and consist each Of eight
piers, with intermediate arches. Above
these are deep. bold PANELS, and over
them ngain is the cornice, in keeping
with the rest of the building. A step,
