MAGNIFICENT CATHOLIC CHURcH-We
learn from a source entitled to respect, that
the Catholics Of this city have it in contem-
platlon to erect in this metropolis church
edilice of magnificent dimensions, something
after the manner of the most extensive ca
thedrals of Europe, and to be, in the catho-
lie sense Of the term, national church. It
is intended by the Catholics to appeal for
aid in this magnificent undertaking to every
congregation of their denomination in the
United States; all of whom, it is thought,
will be influenced by laudible pride to con-
tribute towards the erection of a noble struc-
ture, which it is expected will cost about
seventy-fve thousand dollars.


Should this magnificent design be carried
out, according to the purpose and plan of
its projectors, it will undoubtedly be great
ornament to the city of Washington, as it is
thought and believed that the style, archi-
lecture, and size of the mother church will
not suffer on comparison with any of the
public buildings already erected or about to
be built in the metropolis of the Union.


II is to be hoped that, in view of this
magnificent undertaking by a single although
large and respectable denomination of pro-
Tossing Christians, the City Councils and the
citizens of Washington will be stimulated to
provide the ways and means for the COM
pletion of their capacious City Hall; which,
if ever finished according to its original de-
sign, will be inferior to no public edifce
whatever at the seat of the General Go
vernment--.Nat. Intel
