REV. FATHER KANE.
At st. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday morning the
congregation not large usual, and the sea-
SON cold and damp showed their effects in the contn
uous coughing which went on during the sermon The
music, under the direction of Mr.. White the organ
list, was, usual, of high order. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. Father Kane, who made the
marriage feast at which Christ first appeared in his
public the subject of his instruction. Having
referred to this act OF the Saviour, he went on to
speak of the action of the Council Of Trent regard
to marriage and spoke practically of the divine in
stitution as one of the sacraments of the Church.
The presence of Christ at the marriage feast showed
in itself the dignity which the Master attached the
ceremony, and how sacred He would make the obi
cations belonging to that estate. Yet we know that
nowadays the majority of people look upon marriage
not something intimately belonging to their
eternal welfare. but enter that state from sensual
motives forgetful of the great responsibilities they
incur. The sacrament OF marriage was q solemn
compact, the bond of which could never be
broken. AS long life lasted the pledged in
marriage should continue to be binding. it's force
remaining under every trial and every hardship. 1t
ing upon such responsibility serious consideration
should precede the ceremony and that all the consd
erations bearing the happiness of both the
tracing parties should be duly weighed The char
acter Of each should be we'll known to themselves

diver TO lie at full length. The helmet
alsO is of a novel construction. Firmly
fastened to it, and resting on the shout

iron. This chest is connected with the
aif-pump in the boat above by an india
rubber tubing forty feet long, and with
the divers lungs by another india rub

held by the diver between his teeth; the
whole apparatus being scientifically ar.
