containing 1853 siings.
The Organ is placed over the ves'ibule, and the
choir gallery projects into The church. ne Of
gan case is in The same style OF architecture aS
the church, and richly ornamen'ed. AN me Pe"s
are ma INTEL n initiate white oak, and the Gaping
-o.ewood The arms of The pews are covered
with honey-suckes and lendrls, and in the pan.
nels are raffled-leaved roselles. The lining OF
the news and seats is figured danask, oil
French grey color.
The Chancel is elevated 20 inches above The
Church aisles; the rail is open work and CONSISTS
of Fret in the form of Greek Cross w'n
alternate honeysuckles.
The same order OF architecture is carried
throughout The interior Of The church; The read
ing desk and pulpit are highly ornamented ana
in keeping with the order. The pulpit is placed
in the focus of an eliplical recess, that extends
from one gallery TO the other, and around ~h'ch
is an elliplical peristye OF six huled columns IN
anita, supporting full and enriched entaolature'
which entablature is carried around The inner SIDE
and supported by iwenty-iour antae with iola-
ted capitals of the same order. Between each Of
the columns in The recess, are ranges OF panels !;
those in the recess have handsome mouldnss and
are divided by an anita in The rear of each CO.
lumn. The Panncing Of the gallery fronts IS
carried around in an unbroken line.
The Ceiling consists of centre venliator IN
the form of star, with gilt rays radiatIng from
symbol OF the Trinity, with The antique lie
brew inscription Of JEHOVAH" in the centre
Thence a circular congercs OF rich water and
acanlhus leaves; thence honey-suckles, lotus,
and tcndrils, &c., in circular ranges, all IN bold
relief thence range Of circular lacunariG, with
rich nouldings, forming circular cenlre-pleceoI
feet in diameter. This is surrounded by square
range of lrets; and spandrel pannels in The cer-
ners This is again surrounded by square range
Of treble-sunk lacunariG, enriched by twisted
acanhus.l eaied flower, with rosettes in The CEN
tres, &c. Al each end OF this range, towards the
pulpit and organ, are oblong pannels, win lacu-
narip at each end, and over The pulpit are ellipli-
cal pannes, all enriched with the echnus, or egg
and tongue moulding.
There are no columns or supports TO the gale
ries, the whole being clear and without obstruc-
TONS the principle on which they are suspended
is that which is applied to suspension bridges,
and there are truss Trainings in combination with
il, making them perfectly secure.
Each gallery has three sustaining inch chains,
Of the best cable iron, forming caenaran curve
which are made to sustain The truss framing
and superintendent weight, SC. The fronts oil
the galleries are finished with ranges oflacunard,
with rosel,es and egg and tongue mouldinss.
In The rear Of The pulpit is concealed
door, resembling one Of The pannels, lead
ing from The Perisyle 10 the robins room,
and to Stairs leading 10 the vestry, and Ii
brary rooms, the former being 10 by 2oi feet
and The latter Is by l6 feet all which, as likewise
The Lecture room communicate with each OF the
veslbules OF the rear entrances The Lecture
room is GIL BY 48 feet, l2s leethigh, having four
principal entrances, and is entirely above ground,
and well ventilated and lighted by six large win
dows.
The ceiling is panelled, and an ornamental leaf
moulding planted in the pannels together with raj
fed lcaved centre flowers and rosettes The pulpit
is placed in a recess-it is neat and chasle-n
keeping with the style OF architecture. This
room is provided with settees Of very easy and
comfortable form. Two passages lead from this
roo TO The side doors, and 10 large and conve-
nent stairs, up TO the church floor
The whole is heated by two large air-heatlns
apparatus, constructed on an improved principle,
whereby an extensive heating surface IS exposed
so as 10 produce comfortable, and not excessive
heat.
The trusting of the roof of this building is also
framed upon a new, and, it is believed, admirable
principle, and has been severely tested by the
scafiolding placed upon it during the construction
OF the steeple, &c.
