St. Paul’s in London 5Q.0 Notre Dame in Paris 43(4 The Cathedral of Milan 3&0 St. SophiaatConstantinople356 ■ St. Peter’s surpasses all these, not mote in magnitude than in magnificence. Des cription .can convey no idea to you .of the prodigality, yet chaste beauty;, of its rich and varied decoration^. The treasures and the taste of the world seem to have been exhausted in its embellishment. You will stare when I tell you there is a broad paved road leading up to the top of St. Peter’s church ; not perhaps practicable for carriages, from its winding, buCso ex cellent a bridle road, that there is a conti nual passage of horses and mules upon it. which go up laden with stone and lime ; and the road is good and the ascent so gen tle, that any body might ride up and down with perfect safety. The way is very long, and as I have not yet quite recovered my strength, I longed for a donkey to carry me up. Without any aid then, I reached the roof at last, which seems like a city in itself. Small houses, and ranges of workshops for the labourers employed in the never-ending repairs of the church, are built here, and are lost upon this immense leaden plain, as well as the eighteen cupolas of the chapels of the church, which are not distinguishable from below. Though not comparatively small, how diminutive do they seem, com pared to f hat stupendous dome, the triumph of modern architecture in which is fulfilled the proud boa:/ of Michael Angelo, that he would A\ft the&$Kof. the Pantheon, and hang it in the air! ItisVcctly of the same magnitude. Its beautifun-«proportions and finished grandeur, towering LVJ^o heaven,can here be fully seen. From bcloV 5 they are lost., being thrown back by the.lcf gth of the latin cross, and consequently, si&Vhbehind the mean elevation-of the front, sotmfft tHia noble dome is, perhaps, no where such little advantage, as from that poini which it should appear to the most— Piazza of St. Peter’s. We rambled about, and rested ourselves for a time, on the mar ble seats which are commodiously placed upon the leads. We then commenced the. ascent of the great dome, by a succession of stair c aseg. which passages lead out both upon its ih- ternal and external galleries. We now be gan to have some idea of the immense height we had already gained. The Mosaic figures of the saints and apostles, embla zoned on the vaulted roof, were now so near as to stare upon us in all their gigantic pro portions, and from the highest gallery, we looked down into the fearful depth of the church below, upon tHe minute forms of the human beings, who, like emmets, were to NOTICE. T HE citizens of Clark county are informed that I have made an arrangement by which Plats of all the Land which may be drawn in'the approach ing Land Lottery by citizens, resident in said county v can be furnished weekly, together with the quality of each Lot, as reported by the Surveyor. The Plats will be sent to the Clerk’s Office, and can be obtain' ed gratis by those who’may draw Land. - . JOSEPH LIGON.

The external appearance of St. Peter’s disappointed our expectations ; but on the inside, however, we found the beauty we so vainly looked for on the exterior. v . The magnificent arches, anff crossing aisles, fall into beautiful perspective;—the tombs, the statues, the altars, retiring into shadowy distance, more powerfully touch the imagination ; the lofty dome swelling into sublimity above our heads, stems to expand the very soul, while the golden light that pours through the painted glass at the upper extremity of the church, where the holy spirit hoverkin a flood of glory, like the chastened splendor of the evening clouds, ’sheds its celestial radiance on every object. It shone full on the beautilul columns and polished parinels of ancient marble—ruins of Pagan temples, now adorning the proud est fabric of Christianity ; and the splen did canopy of bronze, the warlike spoils of the first imperial master of the world, nqw oversha'dowTng the tomb of the? huiiible apostle of peace. Confessionals in every living language stand in St. Peter’s. Spaniards, Portu guese, French', Germans, English, Iluriga rieris, Dutch, Swedes, Greeks anil Armeni ans, here find nghostly counsellor ready to hearand absolve in their native tongue.. At stated times the confessors attend in the confessionals. This mdrning being Friday, they were sitting ih readiness. The people passing, kneel down opposite the edmessor, who tbuches the head with a wand. For one man that I see'at T the confessional, I see, fifty women. On the pavement of the great r.a.Ye of St.* ^’■ itJSfa creeping about in it. In the course of our progress, we walked round the external cor nice of the dome, which is so broad that though there is no fence around the edge, three or four persons might walk abreast with perfect safety. We were informed that it' is half a mile in circumference. At last, by flights of very narrow stairs, and long bending passages sloping inwards to suit the inclination of the rapidly narrowing- curve, we reached the summit of that aston- 1 ishing dome, to which we had so often look ed with admiration from below; and at a height, above the flight of the fowls of the air, we enjoyed the far extended and in tersing prospect, over mountain, flood, and plain. .-C" -v ■ ’J&'v./" The beautiful'amphitheatre ofhflls Which encloses the' Campagna', stretching round the blue horizon on three sides ; the pointed summit of the lofty Appenines behind,’ ;wreathed in snow ; the Tiber in’ its long -sinuous windings through the -waste; far •beyond, the desolated Ostia, and thence, me blue waters of the Mediterranean, glea ming in the sunbeams; Rome at our feet—- her churches, her palaces, her dark and dis tant ruins, the rich .verdure and golden fruits of the orange gardens of her convents, con tracting with the deep shade of their mourn ful cypresses ; such a scene as this,, fanned with the fresh blowing gale, as mild, and as, soft as th,b breath of summed &nd canopied , by the clear blue sky of ethereal brightness, could notbut awakeh'admiration id the cold est heart'.
