Local Matters.

NEw CHURcHEs IN WAsHrNeroN We have
heretofore spoken of the contemplated erection
Of three churches in this city, viz. large and
beautiful Presbyterian (old school) church; Pres
byterian (ncw school or constitutional) church, Of
like description; and smaller cdifice, by the
church known as Campbellite Baptists. We have
now fourth to add to the list. II Is stated in
Washington letter, published in the Baltimore Ca
tholic Mirror, of the 22d instant, that 1t has long
been in contemplation to erect in this city mag
nificent cathedral and that "by the kind liberaity
of Father Matthews an area Of ground, about
= three hundred feet square, has been conveyed in
: trust to the most reverend Archbishop. This is
the site Of st. Patrick's II fronts on F, Tenth,
and G streets. The building is estimated TO cost
say million Of dollars, and to be in keeping
with the public buildings of this oity of freestonc
Z marble, in the richest style of architecture"
The writer adds: "There will be no difficulty
. whatever in raising the money for this purpose.
rs every Catholic in the United States will con-
tribute to it, and all the congregations and socie.
ties in the country will vie with each other in
their contributions. large sum for such an OBJ
: ject can be collected in Europe, and in this
city many thousand dollars may be got together
BY proper cxertion, even from Protestants, who
subscribe literally to our churches, particularly
when they ornament their vicinity. and increase
: the value of the neighboring property"
This general desirc and determination TO erect
large and splendid temples of worship in Washing
ton are significant Of many things agreeable to
fleet upon, aside from the religious commentary
they afford In every instance reference is had to the
accommodation ofsojournersi in city. and toits
crease. doubt Of the stability Of our Union would
not admit Of such perspective. Each building 10 to
be constructed with reference TO beauty and ap-

The INSTALLATION OF AN ARCHBISHOP. - The
Now Orleans Picnysns, of the 18th nstant, says:
on Sunday morning, at st. Patricks Cathedral,
was OF tho most imposing character. An immense
number Of persons were present. Bishop Chaunce,
Of mississippi; Bishop Odin of Texas; and Bishop
PORTER, OF Alabama, assisted in the ceremonies,
together with Father Mathew, Father Mullon, and
forty priests Bishop PORTER invested the arch
bishop with the 'Pallum.' the insignia Of his rank
and power, sent from Rome by the Pope. Bishop
Chauncc delivered an able and appropriate adj
dress, which was listened to by the crowded con.
grcgation with the most profound attention. The
church was fitted up for the occasion in style of
Alass.' The collection, taken up at the close Of
the ceremonies, must have amounted to a very
handsome SUM. There are now two Catholic arch.
bishops in the United Statcs.'
