Among the local memorials of Ireland, St. Patrick's well,^'f4 in the parish
of Knockainyj^'ts and barony of Smallcounty, county of Limerick, is yet much frequented by pilgrims on St. Patrick's Day, because the popular tradition holds, that the Irish Apostle visited that place, and blessed the well. ^'*^ At

Protestant church and cemetery said formerly to have been dedicated to our saint. It was once tastefully arched over with dressed stones, and it sprung from beneath a wall, on Church-lane ; but, the devotions of the people there caused oifence to a former Protestant rector, so that it was covered over,=^47 while the stream flowing from it was conduced, by a subterranean culvert, into the opposite paddock, and thence into the small river, passing through Stradbally. A holy well, overshadowed by a venerable tree and called " Tober Patrick," ^^s is at Kilcoo,^''? in the extreme north-west of the County Fermanagh, There is a Sriipatrick, or " Patrick's Stream," in the
parish of Kilkeel, and county of Down, while, it is said to have been so called, because the Irish Apostle travelled no further, into the mountainous district of Mourne. ^2° A great number of additional places, in Ireland, bears the composition of Patrick, with some other term
" Patrick's oak-wood," &c. Thus, likewise, tradition has it, one of these Avas Derry- patrick, in the barony of Lower Deece, county of Meath. It was formerly known as Doire-Padraig. All of the ruins, now remaining there, is the east endofanoldchurch. Anunnerywasformerly,atthisspot,accordingtothe
popular tradition, but no trace of it now remains. =^5i
It seems probable, in former times, that Patrington, a parish and market town, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, takes its name from our saint, since its spacious and handsome Protestant church, in cruciform style, is dedicated to St. Patrick. It has a tower, surmounted by a fine, lofty spire, while the whole building combines the decorated and later EngHsh styles. Perhaps, Patrickroft, in the parish of Eccles, in South Lancashire, may have derived its name, likewise, from the Patron Saint of Ireland. ^52 Regarding the Principality of Wales, there are two persons, bearing the name of Padrig, mentioned in Bonedd y Saint. One of these, Padrig Maenwyn,''53 son of Mawon, and who was Apostle to the Irish, is said to have been a native of

In France, there is a beautiful old church, in the city of Rouen, dedicated to St. Patrick. ^73 His history is given, in its stained glass windows. '74 Be- sides this, the Irish College, Paris, under the direction of priests of the Con- gregation of the Mission, is dedicated to St. Patrick. We have every reason to believe, there are many other memorials to our Apostle, erected in France. Thus, in the beginning of the year 1859, a statue^^s of St. Patrick had been prepared, for the parish church of Moulins-Lille, France. The church itself is dedicated to St. Vincent De Paul ; and, both of those great saints are deservedly endeared, to the sympathies of the French people. The statue represents the saint, as standing on the shamrock sod, with serpents and rep- tiles at his feet. He holds the crozier in h—is left hand, and in his right is a scroll, on which is printed in gilt letters " The voice of the Irish. " At Onreto, in Italy, there is a church, dedicated to San. Patrizio, as also a well. There can hardly be a doubt, but in Germany, and in other countries of Europe, various religious foundations had been erected, in honour of Ireland's Patron saint, although we have not been able, to ascertain their exact localities.
In the United States of America, the following cathedrals, churches, chapels and religious institutions, have been dedicated to the great St. Patrick : In the Archdiocese and city of Baltimore, we find St. Patrick's Church ; in
Cumberland, Mount Savage, Havre de Grace, Little Orleans, and in the city of Washington, there are churches, dedicated to him, as also, male and female schools. In the diocese and city of Charleston, South Carolina, is St. Patrick's church.

In the Archdiocese and city of New York, the magnificent Cathedral of St. Patrick, built on a space, isolated from the surrounding streets, and pro- jecting on Fifth Avenue, was initiated by Archbishop John Hughes, who laid the foundation-stone, on the T5th of August, 1858, with an imposing religious and civic ceremonial. ^76 His successor. Cardinal M'Closkey, has unremittmgly prosecuted this glorious work, to its present advanced stage of progress. The architect of this great structure is Mr. Renwick. The style adopted is known as the decorated
Gothic, which prevailed
in Europe, from a. d.
1250 to 1400. The

of the transept is 140

nave is 96 feet includ- ing the aisles—or, from
pillar to pillar, 48 feet, giving to each aisle a
width of 24 feet. The height of the nave is no feet, and that of the aisles, 54 feet. The clustered and fluted columns of the nave,
choir, and transepts, are all of white marble, to the spring of the arches. These are imi- tation sandstone, cap- pedwithmarble. The roofs are all coved and interlaced, most richly, with cusps and ribs. The Cathedral is cruci- form. Its numerous
stained-glass windows

are mullioned, in varied shapes, and deeply recessed. The most effective
of all are those lights, containing the representation of St. Patrick, in the northern transept great window, and that of the Immaculate Conception, in
the southern great transept window. Clerestory windows light the upper lines, and these too are ornate and large. The white marble high altar,
reredos, with tabernacle, and niches, are of highly artistic design, while statues,

and mosaics, gleam out on the view. The various chapels, and their accessories, are intended to harmonize with the general plan ; but, several of the de-
tails, interiorly and exteriorly, await completion. ^77 Symmetry, vastness, light- ness, and solidity, seem happily combined, in the tout e? isemble. The front has three doorways, the centre one having a total width of 31 feet, with a height, including the gables, of 5 1 feet. Above the recessed door, there is a transom of pure white marble, sculptured with leaf-forms and tendrils of grape-vines, interwoven with wheat, symbolic of tlie Holy Sacrament; there are three doves,thecentreonerepresentingthedescentoftheHolyGhost; theright, the dove from the ark, with an olive branch in its mouth ; and the left, signifiestheascentoftheHolySpirit. Thedooritselfissquare-headed,and it has a total width of 1 1 feet. Above this beautiful piece of sculpture is the smallrosewindowoftheportal. Richclusteringcolumnssupportthejambs, whose capitals are exquisitely carved. On either side of the portal rise the buttresses, constituting the main part of the facade. These extend to the middle of the main gable, and they are surmounted by delicate pinnacles. This gable is most richly panelled, each panel being filled with exquisite tracery, and its apex is surmounted, by a grand floral finiai. Below the moulding of the main gable is the great rose window, with flowing tracery. The lower arc of its circumference touches the arched heads of the mullions, which are in the varied forms of foils. Directly below is the gable of the main portal, bearing in its centre panel the arms and motto of the Cardinal, withahat,fromwhichtasselsstreamonbothsides,andamitre. Thepedi- ments of the gables are highly adorned with floriated crockets. The side portals are adorned, in like manner, although less richly. Over these arise two grand towers. These are to terminate with spires, elevated 334 feet, from the ground. In the central panel of each gable are shields, the right shield having the arms of New York, tlie left bearing those of the United States. The towers are 32 feet square, at the base, exclusive of the but- tresses, diminishing in stages, as they rise ; but, the walls, especially below, are of immense thickness and solidity. At the height of 136 feet, they change to an octagonal form, maintained for 54 feet more. Thence, the tall spires will gracefully ascend into the blue sky. In design, these are richly charged at their edges, with crockets of floral forms, while their faces are covered with beautifully-traced panels. In the second stories are the large windows,

sculptured niches, intended to receive statues, adorning the middle heights and flanksofthegrandfagade. ''? ^ Altogether,thisnobleCathedralofSt. Patrick
is immeasurably the most costly and magnificent church, in the United States, and, as a memorial of our illustrious Apostle, the grandest on earth. Besides this grand structure, there is another St. Patrick's Church, on the corner of Prince and Mott-streets, in the city of New York. Also, there is a St. Patrick's Church, at Millerton, Dutchess County ; one, at Newburgh, Orange County ; one, at Nobody, Sullivan County ; one, at Quarryville, Ulster County ; one, at Verplanck's Point, Westchester County ; besides, Male and Female Schools, with Male and Female Orphan Asylums, dedicated to the

limited to the funds secured.
^78 In the summer of 1879, this grand
Cathedral was solemnly dedicated to God
and to St. Patrick, with a magnificent cere- menial service, attended by the prelates, clergy and laity, from all parts of the United States and from Canada. The sermon, on
this occasion, was preached, by Rt. Rev.
Patrick J. Ryan, D. D. , Coadjutor-Bishop of St. Louis.
