Saturday, March 17th Feast of St. Patrick, was celebrated only as a religious festival in this city, the eivie and natlemal eelebration being transferred to Sunday, the 15th. This decision was arrived at becasse Saturday In New Orleans is the bukiest day of the week. and it was thought that a greater number of persons would be able to take part in the parade i it swere postponed to the day follow ing. This saction was justifed by the result, and proved meet fortunate from the faeet that, as is generally the ease, there was a heavy sher of rain on St. Patrieklt Day, while oa Sunday we were blessed with' a beautiful weatlpsr as Is ever seen even in this fair Southern land.

That there was a procession at all this year under the circapmatances gives undisputable testimony of the undying affection of the Irish men of New Orleans for their long suffering motherland. The thousands of fair women and children that lined the sidewalks and balconies along the route, which extended folly eight miles through the central part of the city, by their presence and smiles showed their sympathy with the prooessionislt and gave ample proof of their patriotic spirit. At about half past five o'olock the procession was dismissed and the several associations repaired to their halls where banquets had been prepared for them by their friends. At St. Patrick's Hall, Division No. 1 A. . H and the Irish Rifles were served with asplendid repast provided by their Marshal, Mr. Hugh MoCloskey, and John Henderson, Eaqs. Marabal E.

Robert Emmet Branch No. 11., of the H. B. and M. A. A, gave a splendid supper at Mr. R. MoCloskey's restaurant, St. Charles street, at which a number of invited guests were present.

Patrick's Day in Mobile. Uditor Morainag star A few words about how 8t. Patrick's Day was celebrated here may not be isappropriate for your columns. On Saturday morning the Right Bev. Bishop Quinlan solemnized with a Pontifical High Mass the Feast of our Patron Saint, assisted by tbe clergy of the Diocese. After the Gospel the Rev. Father Browne delivered an elegant panegyric of St. Patrick. The Right Rev. Bishop was easisted by the Rev. Father Roduit and Rev. Father Antonio, of Spring Hill College, as Deroons of Honor, Deacons of the Mass being Rev. Father Browns, late pastor of St. Patrick's, now promoted to the pastorate of the Cathedral; Bev. Father Serra acting as asesitant priest. Rev. Father Reeler was Master of Ceremonies. Rev. Father Gardner, of t. Vincent's, acted as Sub-Deacon. The congregation seemed to appreciate the presence of the Right. Rev. Bishop in the cele bration of the anniversary of their Patron Saint. At the conclusion of the Mass the Right Rev. Bishop addressed the congregation it his usupl happy mood, exhortiug them to pases ersenoo i the tree fait, and als the eove uatg whUish we' heehat win nova dtpt Eq , iarshal of the occasion, marobed the seversl Benevolent ocietiese of the city in pro cession to at.

The " Ritualists" in London are in great glee over the release from prison of the Rev. Arthur Tooth, who bhas for some weeks been confined in jail for persiting in " Ritualistic" prsetiees after having been forbidden to do sueh naughty things by the Court of Arches. This Court, although it bhas jurisdiotion in eo olesiastical eases, is really a civil cobrt, and judgment in the "Tooth Case" was pronounced by a layman, a certain Lord Penzanoe. The merits of the "oase" are these: St. James' Hatohaer is an "Anglican parish church," and Mr. Tooth, the regular nocumbent, is a "Ritualist." He oaused the "Choir" and "Sanctuary ' of his church to be separated from the nave by a masirve rood ecreen, sura mounted by a large crucifix and life statues of the Blessed Virgin and St. John. At the east end of the church he ereoted an elaborately decorated " Altar," with cross and candle sticks. When he "celebrated" the "'Commu nion Service," wax candles was lighted and he was vested in amioe, alb, maniple, stole and chasuble. The "Service," which was entirely musical, consisted of the Order for the Admin istration of the Lord's Supper, saJn the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Es. tablishment, with the addition of Introit, Gradual and certain other things supposed to belong to the Roman Rite. At the "Consecra tion," Mr. Tooth, in common with his brother " Ritualists," reverently elevated the "orea tures of bread and wine," as the Anglican Churoh very properly calls them. Why he did this need not surprise your readers when they are informed that several Anglo-Catholic Ritualists do not believe their Church when she calls the elements " creastres of bread and wine,"'but assert, in direct opposition to her teaching, that after the Consecration they are verily and indeed the body and blood of Christ. Well, certain narrow-minded parish. loners of Mr. Tooth's took ouence at these Ritualistic performances, and presented him to his Bishop for trial. He was tried, found guilty of practices con trary to the worship of the " Churh of Eg. land as by law established," and ordered not only to discontinue these practices, but also to lay aside his vestmente and to remove the forbidden crosses, candles, etc. Refusing to obey the mandate of the court, that Tooth was forthwith "polled" and committed to Jail for contempt of court. .The church wardens being aoldes/talUg, or otherwise I cannot say, Ritualists, immediately proceoeded to lock up the church so as to debar the entrance of the Rev. Mr. Dale, who had been appointed to take Mr. Tooth's place. Bat it woold take too long to give in detail all the cireumataness noldental to this afair; seal dient to say that locksmiths wernobtatned, the church was opened, and the primitive worship of the " sblisbhment" was.rsstored, all the rlies of Popry buing takes away. The High Cherehb fttelldaws IweiAst Isqsas ýalet ..dt fý 1i estditesan The would-be martyr and conlessor Is again free, but for two more months is inhibited from abe exerolee of his clerical functions in the diocese of Ecobeater. Buits have been nsatituted against several other Ritualisti ministers who will undoubt edly take Mr. Tooth's "herolo conduot as a precedent for their own, and so we may soon hear of other martyrs and oonfessors. If the Ritualists are really sinoere, if they really be lieve the dootrine they pretend to believe, if they are convinoed that the Church of God isa visible body with a hierarchby descending in a direotine from the Apostles; if they really believe that the OChurch i the mystical body of Christ, and that it has a priesthood forever aooording to the order of Melohiedeoob; in fine, it they believe that theChurob is Catholic, that it was founded by Christ himself and that it is not the creature of the State, the present attitude towards them of "the Church of England as by law established in thees realms" ought to convince tkpm that abe ai not the Catholio Churob, but the mere oresture of the State. Day by day this is proved to them, and still they go on in their blindness deluding themselves with the ides that t. are Catholice, and like little children play th they are saying Mass. To the reflecting Catholic there is something strange and deplorable in this, the holy BSari. ice is traverstied by men prtending to be "prieste," and their deluded followers worship -what breed and wise. I do not say that this is formal idolatry, for if they really belfeee that the breed and wine are no longpr present after their ministers pronounoe the awful words of ooneeoration their idolatry,is only immaterill. But it is terrible to think that men with no shadow of power or authority save that given to them by the Qoeen of England, aooerding to their artioles of faith the head of the obhurch and source of spiritual and temporal juritdic' tion,' should dare to arrogate to themselves the sacred functione of the priesthood ;-tkhe "Mass" is indeed "a blasphemous fable," to use the language of their Articles. And how sad it is that so many poor souls should rest sauIs Sed with what the low oherob section of the Anglican communion style, "Ecolesiastinal millinery," and by it be keptout of the bchurch of the living God, where, indeed, they could save their souls and And that peaeo which passeth all understandiog. Let us hope that some good may come out of the Tooth brush, between the courts nod the "Ritualists." Now that Lent has commeteed the "season" in London has begun, and fashion reigns supreme; balls, parties, receptions, concerts, theatres, operas. eto., are the order of the day, or rather of the night. This is the manner in which the English keep Lent. There are special devotions in all the Catholio churohes which the faithful attend at very devoutly. In most of the churohes the muslo heard at High Mas is of a eeopregatiesea character, for in obedience to the order of the Cardinal Arohbishop the organ is silent during Lent. The London papers day after day have long editorials on American affairs, sympathistng with the Democratio party; they aos not un derstand bow the ermine of the Supreme Coort of the United Statee could have been dragged through the mire as it hbee. Hitherto the English have always held the Supreme Court in high esteem, regarding it as above party infaence or corruption. The conduct of Jadge Bradley especially merits their disgust. The London Telegrapk remarks that it is impossible to soppoes that a man of the unstalned reptea tion of Gor. Hayes will take tb mset awarded to bim by fraud so manilest and so unserups. lone.
