Christ Church Steepie. We'are pleased TO be
able to state that the spire, announced some
time since as about to be erected on Christ
Church, corner Of Gay and Fayette streets, is
in steady progress, the base having already been
constructed above the height of the roof. This
sprc is to contain the bells formerly attached
to the old Christ Church, the musical chimes
of which have so often been listened to with
pleasure by our citizens. The following is a
description of the steeple:-The design consists
of an octangnlar stybolate, rising directly thro'
the roof ii feet high On this stands a circular
section, "a feet high with a perpteral colon
made, of 10 columns, Of the Corinthian order,
standing detached from the circular wall and
supporting an appropriate entablature. This
section is pierced with ornamental windows of
open slat, and is to contain the chime of bells
belonging to the Church. The spire, so feet
high, stands upon this coounade section and is
ornamented at the foot with II consols,
spreading out the base in an original and arts
tic manner peculiar to the design, uniting the
spire with the section below. The whole height
of the spire from the ground will be $50 feet.
The work is being constructed in the most du-
rable manner, so as to avoid destruction by fire,
of brick and cast iron, of which latter material
the pillars, cornices, mouldings, &c., are en-
tirely composed. The spire will be covered
with metal. The whole will be painted of a
