The above beautiful edifce Of which tho energetic and
jealous Father Cnrran is pastor solemny dedicated
yesterday morning by the Very Rev Vim. Stars " G.,
the absence OF Archbishop Hughes who was expected
TO olicate. but wbo for unexplained canse, did
not make his appearance 1t will be recoected that tho
extension Of Duane and Reade streets rendered necessary
the tearing down Of ten feet from the facade Of St
Andrews church, process which at the time com
planned Of as very great evil. But judging from tho
changes for the better that have since occurred the
pastor and his congregation have reason to be dis
pleased, but on the contrary, ought to congratulate
occupies the site Of the old and rather antquatcd
looking St. Andrews church, completely al
tered and rcmodelled it has been, may be classed
among tho most elegant Catholic Chape in the city, The
'front.' with it's neat little turrets and handsome bell
tower makes very snowy appearance ard the basement
below is very great addition and accommo ation The
interior decorations in the best taste the frcscoed
walls contrasting well with the gtterng ornamentation
Of the altar which is quite original in its arrangements
Everything in fact to have been ordered by the
best Judgment and good TASTE and small credit is due
10 Father Corran for his untrng exerons and
rance.
Tho service Of dedication which, it appears was rem
dered necessary by the extensive alterations to the
church, performed by Father Stars assisted by the
Rev. Fathers McCosky and Malone Deacon and sub
Deacon Father Doyle hurifer and Father McNerney
as Master OF Ceremonies.

The Times exposes Lord Lyons bad gram
mar in his letter 10 Mr.. Seward. It says the
English side was argued exceedingly i'll, aud
the American side with much ability; but
the only result is to entirely convince it that,
in their own showing, the acts of the Amer
ican Government have been illegal as re-
CARDS American citizens and violations of
the rights of nations as regards foreigners.
The London Herald says Lord Lyons has
exposed Egland to rebuff without the right
to resent. The Herald then attacks Earl Rus
sell for impertinence in lecturing on the
American Constitution, and quietly enduring
robbery and outrage, and says he will find
he has drifted on to war.
The Post says Secretary Seward has wan
tonly added another, to the many differences,
which he wishes to perpetuate between the
two countries.
The Daily Ne,Cs thinks the course pursued
by the Government premature, indiscreet
and inconsiderate. 1t was reported that the
American Bankers were holding out liberal
commissions to English fnanciers to place q
portion of the Federal Loan in London. Fl.
Dancial writers in the London journals point
out the danger of touching it and thinks the
chances of success very remote.

NEWPORT NEWS.

THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY.-The men,
bers of this company are quite anxious to
learn when and by whom they will be paid
for their services, performed from the 231 of
September to the 23d of October, in guarding
the Kentucky Central Railroad. The COM
paDy was ordered on that duty by General
Mitchell, but now, when its payroll is pre-
sented to that officer, he makes no reply.
Application has been made to Colonel Foley,
who dsclaims any responsibility in the mat
ter so does the State Quartermaster and
other parties supposed to have something to
do with State military affairs. The pay rolls
were sent to the Military Board at Frankfort,
as a last resort, and that body returned them
without an answer. Every body seems de-
sirous of shirking the responsibility. A
strong effort has been made to reorganize the
company and recruit a full battery for service
in the Government cause, but the men, be-
coming disgusted at the manner in which
they have been treated, have gone off and
attached themselves to infantry companies,
and thus the services of an admirably drilled
artillery corps are lost to the Government,
all on account of the mismanagement OF
some one.
SCHOOL CoMMIssIoNER.-Mr. Piner, of this
city, has been appointed School Commissioner
for Campbell County, by Hon. A. Boyd.
The appointment is regarded as an excellent
one. ..
A Coon JOKE SPoILED.-We were this
morning shown pair of epaulets sword
belt, spurs, &c, which were gotten up by Q
gentleman of this city as present to an Off.
Ger at Camp King. The epaulets were cut
out of thick pasteboard the sword was nicely
whitfield down to a keen edge from piece
of poplar wood, and the spurs were made Of
ash wood. The whole job, we learn, wa;
performed with a knife. Considerable in
genuity was certainly displayed by thu
maker in constructing the spurs. The pre-
sentation of these articles was to have beer
made with all the pomp and circumstance
tunately the fun was all spoiled by the Officer
for whom they were intended happening il
on the artisan just as he was giving the fin
ishing strokes to the splendid military equip
ments.
