progressing to completion 1t will probably be
one of the most beautiful and magnificent
churches in the city. We learn from the y
mcrcan, that it is Constructed in the pcrpcndl-
cJlar Gothic style, Oi'thc best nltcriuISand most
substantial manner, more than It million oi
bricks of tho first qlatity, from the brick yard
Of MIR. Samuel llarman, having been used IN
its erection. lis entire length is l5i feet,
breadth GS feet; height OF the ceiling OF Iii"
nave 30 feet height OF the ceiling OF the asIcs
40 feet; width of the nave IS feet; height of the
! tower at present lao feet, TO which is to be add
ed 60 feet Of spre, of open work cast iron, fin
ishcd after the most elaborate design. The plan
Of the church embraces three front vcsthules,
one under the tower, one on the west side, con-
taimng staircase TO the choir gallery, and one
on the east, appropriated for a Blptistrry
font for this is elevated on three steps, the
whole being of Italian marble. Depending
from the ceiling rich gilt cover is to hang I'M
mediatoly over the font. The vestlbules, nave,
aiscs, and the sanctuary are paved throughout
with marble tiles The peWs are formed with
carved ends, and grained in imitation Of oak
! Under each window is an elabOrately carved
confessional, also grained to initiate oak. The
interior is divided by two rows of banded CO.
lumns. The upper end, intended for the sane
tuary, is finished in Il semi circular form, hay
ing in either side, communicating with it, It
chapel and sacristy. The communion is made
wide on the top and is elevated on three steps,
the whole polished Italian marble, with gilt
panels. The Italian marble work was eXocu-
ted by Mr.. II. Schroeder. The pulpit is fixed
to the last column Oh the west side, in the Con-
tinental manner; and is reached by stair wind
ing round the pillar The windows sash and
outside mouldings are all of cast iron, which
material has been extensively used i'll the build
ing to the amount of nearly 50 tons weight
The cast iron work was done by Messrs. VIII
son & Brother. The windows generally are
filled with tinted enameed glass with borders
and heads richly stained. There are three large
rose windows, filled with splendid stained glass
| in the north end, high mp near the ceiling -
! Each of these windows is divided into twelve
compartments, so traced as to render the effect
very fine. This glass was procured from the
! Stained Glass works of Mr.. f. Thomas, of n
York. In each of the pillars attached to the
wall there is IA niche, with stone pedestal and
a carved canopy, also of stone The inches, of
which there are twelve, are intended for statues
of the twelve Apostles. The south, being the
entrance end has wide gallery advancing in
/ TO the Church az tar as the first column. This
is appropriated to the organ and choir; and the
main ceiling of the building is ribbed with bold
ribs sprngng from the columns and uniting at
the top in rosette richly gilt The capitals of
the columns are also gilt. The Church will be
| lighted by Gas introduced into each pillar, and
gilt Gothic bracket lights will project from
each pillar, for night service The whole of
the interior is colored warm rich stone color,
/ to harmonic with the oak fittings. The eXte-
rior of the building is also to be painted The
carpenters work was done by Messrs. James
Curley & Son; the bricklaymg by Mr.. Joseph
/ kragcr, Jr.; the stone cutting and masonry by
Messr6. Green & Sumwalt; the freestone work
! by Mcssrs. Leitz s. Stocker, and II. Schroeder;
the plasterng by Messrs. Star & Bison; and
the pews and confessionals by Mr. Ruth--the
whole being executed under the superntcnd
ence of Robert Cary Long, Esq, the Architect.
| The entire work reflects great credit on all con-
cerned. The organ, built by Mr. Schwab of
Cincinnati, is nearly finished, and is pronounce
ed to be unsurpassed in tone and finish. 1t has
So stops, and 2l66 pipes, combining grand Oh
gan, choir organ, swell and pedal organ, all in
the one instrument. The organist when per-
forming sits with his face towards the sane
! tuary.
Serious Injury from Careless Dririag. We
not unfrequently hear complaints in reference
to the danger to which persons are exposed in
proper caution on the part Of drivers Of car
riages, hacks, &c.; and these complaints are
not without good cause. In proof of this fac,
we NAV state that as Mrs Zimmerman and a
female companion were crossing Eutaw, in
passing up Baltimore street, yesterday, they
were knocked down by carriage coming spec
| Oily upon them. We regret TO say that Mrs.
Il. was severely cut in the forehead and arm,
and otherwise bruised She was placed under
medical care. We did not learn who had
charge of the vehicle, Ga private carrage,) or
who were in it, but understand the feelings of
Of those in the neghborhood, who were cog
nizant Of the fact, were greatly outraged at see
ing them continue on their way without giving
any care to the unfortunate sufferers by the APP
parent wanton act of careless driving.
