BOSTON, OCT. 3.
On Thursday last, the Roman Catholic Church, in this town, was consecrated, under the denomination of the Church of the Holy Cross, by the Right Rev. Bishop Carroll. A little before ten o'clock, the Bishop in his pontifical dress with four priests, and their attendants, walked in procession, from the residence of the Spanish Consul, to the Church: and after the ceremonies usual on such occasions, High Mass was celebrated by the venerable prelate. A sermon was then preached by the Rev. John Cheverus, and a collection of two hundred and eighty six dollars was made for the benefit of the Church. The Church was extremely crowded, and the Roman Catholics regret that it was not in their power to accommodate many of those who wished to attend therein.
