GENERAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES.

The building designed for this institution is now erecting on the ninth Avenue on an ample lot of gronnd, which comprises a whole square, the munificent donation of CLEMENT C. MOORE, Esq. This seminary was originally established by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, in the year 1817 and located in this city. At the General Convention in 1820, its organization was changed to New Haven. At a special General Convention held in 1821, it was again removed to this city and under still further improved organization, was united with the Theological Seminary of this diocese, which had been established in 1820. The trustees are the bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, and clergymen and laymen of the said Church chosen by each diocese in proportion to its number of clergymen and its contributions to the Seminary.-On the last removal of the Seminary to this city, it came into the possession of the munificent legacy of about $70,000, left by the late JACOB SHERRED, Esq. of this city. The lectures are, at present delivered and the business of the Seminary carried on in a large brick building in Varick-Street, near St. John's Church, a part of which is likewise, occupied as a charity school for said church.

The professors are the Right Rev. JOHN HENRY Hobart, D. D. Professor of Pastoral Theology and Pulpit Eloquence. The Rev. SAMUEL H. TURNER, D. D. Professor of Biblical Learning.

The Bev. BIRD WILSON, D. D. Professor of Systematic Divinity.

The Rev. BENJAMIN F. ONDERDONK, A. M. Professor of the nature, ministry and polity of the church, and

CLEMENT, C. MOORE A. M. Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature.

Mr. William C. Whittingham is the librarian.

CATHOLIC Churches.

Till the close of the revolutionary war, clergymen of this denomination were prevented, under severe penalties, from officiating in the province (now the state of New York ;) but no sooner was our independence fully acknowledged, than every man was left at liberty, to worship his creator agreeably to the dictates of his own conscience. In the year 1784 and 1785, our Roman Catholic brethren in this city, assembled in such places as they could hire, from time to time, for the purpose of celebrating divine worship, in the manner prescribed by their church; but in 1786, by their own exertions and the liberal contributions of their fellow citizens of different persuasions, they erected their first place of worship. They have now three churches.

1st.

ST. PETER'S, built of brick, at the corner of Barclay and Church Streets, in the year 1786, being48 by81=3888 feet square. The very Rev. Mr. JOHN POWER, Vicar general of the diocess, is rector and the Rev. Mr. PETER MALONE assistant.

2d. ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL a spacious stone building, being the largest place of worship in this city, was erected in 1815, at the corner of Mott and Prince-Streets, 80 by 120= 9600 feet square. The Rev. Messieurs THOMAS LEVIN and WILLIAM TAYLOR are joint rectors. These two churches may in some measure, be considered collegiate, as the ministers respectively appointed by each, officiate alternatly in both. 3d. A frame building with a brick front in Sheriff-Street, 45 by 60 2700 feet square. This was sold by the Presbyterian Church, under the pastoral care of the Rev. ELIHU W. BALDWIN, in April, 1826, and taken possession of by the Roman Catholics, on the 1st May following. It has not as yet been consecrated, no name has been assigned to it; nor has any pastor been appointed; but all these things will certainly be done in a short time, the othert two churches being filled to overflowing. For the location of Mr. Baldwin's congregation, sec PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES, page 169.

UNITARIAN CHURCHES.

Of these there are two in this city, viz: 1st. a stone building with a marble front erected in Chamber, between Church and Chapel-Streets, in 1820. It is 45 feet in front, by 60 in depth=2700 feet square. The Rev. Mr. WILLIAM WARE is

pastor.

A second place of worship is now erecting in Prince, between Green and Mercer-Streets. It will be a spacious brick building and so great progress has been made in the work, that it will no doubt be finished during the present summer.

UNIVERSAL CHURCHES.

Of these we have two, viz. 1st. a square brick building, 67 by 67-4489 feet square, which was erected at the corner of Duane and Augustus Streets in the year 1818. This congregation, however, was organized in 1802. Pastor, the Rev. Mr. ED

WARD MITCHELL.

2d. This is likewise a brick building, 60 by 70=4200 feet square, and was erected in Prince-street, a little below St. Patrick's Cathedral, in 1824. It is under the pastoral care of the Rev. Mr. NEHEMIAH Dodge.

Besides the above, we have two churches which cannot, with propriety, be classed under any particular denomination. These are the Church in the State Prison, 34 by 54-1836 feet square, and that in the Alms House at Bellevue, 50 by 66= 3300 feet square. These are stone buildings. The pulpit in the State Prison is filled by clergymen of all denominations, except on the first Sabbath, in every month, when the Rev. Mr. JOHN STANFORD, who is chaplain of this as well as of the other criminal and most of the eleemosynary houses in the city, officiates. This laborious pastor preaches, once in the City Hospital, twice in the Church at the Alms House, and once in the Penitentiary on every Lord's Day, except on the first in every month, when ministers of the Methodist connexion perform divine service; but, at all times, respectable clergymen of any denomination are allowed to exercise their sacred functions in both these houses of worship. Mr. Stanford likewise preaches five or six times throughout the week.

true.

The Mariner's Church has been already noticed under the Presbyterian Churches, though, perhaps, with little propriety, as it has no other claim to be ranked in that respectable body than that their pastor, the Rev. Mr. JOHN TRUAIR, is a member of "The Presbytery of New York." That there are many of the regular hearers attached to the Presbyterian system is But let it ever be remembered, that this church was erected for the accommodation of sailors, by the liberality of Christians of different denominations. The institution is therefore founded on the broad basis of Christianity, without: reference to any particular sect or party, and it will no doubţ continue, as it is at present, open to pious ministers of all denominations. Several societies have lately been organized for ameliorating the situation of mariners, of which due notice will be taken hereafter.

Public markets for the sale of provisions are held, in this city, on every day of the week, except Sunday; and on that day, fish or milk may be sold before nine o'clock in the mornning, and milk after five in the afternoon.

Till about 16 or 18 years ago, the Mayor was clerk of the market ex officio, and appointed so many persons deputy clerks as he thought proper; but now, as the whole emoluments arising from the markets are vested in the Common Council, they have been authorised by an act of the legislature to appoint these officers.

Each deputy clerk, previous to his entering on the duties of his office, must become bound with sufficient surety in the penal sum of $1000; and also take an oath or affirmation, that he will faithfully execute the office of deputy clerk of the

-market to which he had been appointed.

It is their duty to cause all the laws of the corporation and regulations prescribed by the market committee, respecting the markets, to be duly enforced.

Beef, pork, veal, mutton and lamb, are cut up and sold in

the public market by the joint, or in pieces, by the licensed butchers only, their agents or servants. Each of these must sell at his own stall, and conclude his sales by one o'clock in the afternoon, between 1st May and 1st November and, by two between first November and the first May. Butchers are li

censed by the Common Council.

To prevent forestalling, no articles shall be bought to sell again, in any market or other part of the city, before 12 o'clock at noon, except flour and meal which must not be bought to be sold again until 4 afternoon. Hucksters in the markets are restricted to the sale of vegetables with the exception of fruits. No poultry, eggs or butter, shall be sold in the public markets, or streets or cellars contiguous thereto by any person, except by him or her on whose farm such articles shall have been raised, or by some person, who shall have been in the country and there purchased them from the farmer, under the penalty of ten dollars. Nor shall any person sell fresh fish in any of the said markets or streets contiguous thereto, except fishermen and persons who shall have purchased the fish at the fishing place from fishermen, under the like penalty.

All butter for sale in the public markets shall be sold by weight; if in rolls, each roll shall contain one or more pounds without any fraction of a pound; and if in tubs, pails or firkins, other than roll butter, the same shall be sold by the tub, pail or firkin and by no less quantity; and no person shall sell butter in any vessel except in such as hath the weight marked thereon. If butter or any other article sold by weight or measure shall be found deficient in weight or measure, the person offering the same for sale shall forfeit the sum of ten dollars; and for offering to sell unwholesome or stale provisions, &c. the penalty is $25; but besides the payment of the aforesaid penalties, the articles, in both cases, are seized by the clerk of the market, in which such offence shall have been committed, and forfeited to the use of the commissioners of the Alms house and Bridewell for the relief and benefit of the poor of the city.

All weights, measures or beams, used within the limits of any publicm arket, shall be sealed under the penalty of fifty dollars; and the deputy clerks shall, at least once in every week, inspect all weights, measures and beams used in their respective markets, &c. and report to the attorney of the board for prosecution all persons whom they may find offending in the premises. And it is also the duty of the said deputy clerks to weigh the butter, which shall be exposed for sale in the public markets, at least once in each week. They must also attend
