FlsHTowN. Fishtown yesterday evening re,
senbled somewhat the Fishtown of years be-
fore the war, and though the arrivals OF fish
were not as numerous az they formerly would
have. been, yet a snffciency came up from the
shores to indicate to the strangers there the
purposes for which that town was instituted.
The attendance was unusually large, increased,
perhaps, By the report, in circulation previously,
that a man was to perform there the remarkable
feat Of walking upon the surface of the river
No such performance was executed however
though the appearance, about four clock
of an individual covered with red blanket
for a time excited in the minds of the youthful
portion of the crowd the belief that the water
walker was present, and occasioned from then
loud cries of here he comes here he comes !!

MONDAY EVENING, NAY s.

Coyr1aaAT1oN. persons we're
confirmed at ST. Mary's Church, Yesterday, at
3 O'Clock A. NJ, by the Ri Rey.tJohn McGlll,
D. D. Bishop of Richmond, who prefacea the
administration OF the sacrament with Dtlei
address to the candidates, an explanation OF
its nature and design and Of the ceremonies
emnloyed, remarkable for its ciearness and
simplicity.
The ceremony was brief The Bishop, vest
ed in cope and mitre, and attended by the
Rev. Messrs. Ciccaterri and Toale, stood in
front of the altar, and extending his hands over
the candidates who knelt before him, said
short prayer in Latin, invoking the Holy Spirit
to descend upon them with His seventold gifts
and keep them from all sin.
They then advanced to the alter rails, Ill
teen or twenty at time, and the Bishop an
nointed their foreheads with Chrism in the
form of cross, saying in Latin, 81 sign thee
with the sign Of the cross; | confirm thee with
the chrism OF salvation, in the name Of the
Father and Of the Son, and Of the Holy Ghost,
Amer" He then gave each one slight blow
on the cheek, saying, "Peace be with thee,
and the ceremony concluded with another
prayer and the episcopal blessing. -
Of the candidates, thirty seven were males
and fifty. seven females one Of the former and
twenty of the latter being persons of COLOR
There were twelve adult males and fifteen adult
females seven or eight of them recent converts
to Cathoicity, and one was an old gentleman
from CuIpeper who had been baptised on the
day previous All the females wore white
dresses and had their heads covered with white
wells, and the entire ceremonial was solemn,
beautiful and impressive.
At II clock, So'emn Mass was celebrated
By the Rev. John 3. Enig, assisted Icy the
Rev. Felix Ciccaterri as Deacon and the Rev.
Bernard Toae as Sub Deacon, and, at the
Gospel, the Bishop preached an exceedingly
able and interesting discourse Of about an hour
aud quarter in length, from the text: I'VE
have an altar, whereof they have no power to
eat who serve the tabernacle. (tlebrews
XIII, lO) Ills remarks were mainly an ar
eument on the necessity Of secrifce, and on
the sacrifice OF the Mass as the great act of the
new law
At4 ~, Vespers were sung by the Rev
John B. Emig, and the Bishop again preached
for about an hour, his subject being the cere-
monies used in the celebration Of Mass, the
dress of the officiating priest, &c. Many per
sons usually attending other churches were
