I had already enjoyed the good Friday service here; and now on Bnnday morning I joined in the tame psalm a* you bad; and listened to a good sermon and participated in the holy communion. I think there were 10 communicants, and they made np the majority oi the congregation. It is not customary to hare a second service, but the clergyman invited me to preach in the afternoon at 4 past three which invitation I accepted for the sake of joining once more in the service of the day.

I started out after breakfast to get a vi ew by daylight I soon found that something was going on, as I heard music as soon as I entered the doors. There was quite an array of priests in rich dresses, and on getting near the altar I saw the Archbishop on his throne still more richly dressed, and wearing a miter embroidered with time people, took much interest in the study of geography. I was shown the " bridge of sights," as it is called, over which many an unfortunate prisoner passed to his dungeon, after his trial in their halls. I also went into some of the dungeons, and saw one of them still lined with wood as they all used to be to keep off the dampness. They were an im provement upon those of which I hare already spoken, the Ifammertine and castle of St. Angelo at Rome, and the dungeons of Nero at- Baie, but still they were far different from those of our own day. Venice is now under Austrian rule, but I j do not think it is agreeable to the people.— I It has gone back since this change, and will j yet have to become a part of the great kingdom of Italy before trade will revive again. I have wandered through the queer narrow street, and over the little brdges of an evening, and find it sometimes difficult to get along. I notice that many shops have pictures of the crucifix, or more frequently of the Virgin, before which they place the lighted candles, or little oil lamps. The Virgin seems to be worshiped more than the Saviour, and in the churches her shrine is everywhere crowded. G. D- M. N. W. cor. Eighth & Race 8ts., PHILADELPHIA.

The high mass was celebrated by the Archbishop himself.— It w as a long service to go through, and he did an immense deal of work, in shouting, and moving about and changing his dress three or four times to go through the vari ous ceremonies of the occasion. He was an old man, apparently about 30, and is a cardinal I marvelled that he did so much, and did not lat hi* assistants perform more of the labor. He administered the holy wafer (or communion) to all the principal priests, who afterwards received th cup, (which is not given to the laity) from a miner ecclesiastic. After the pri eats, came foar men in livery who were servants of the houshold, I suppose ; and after them came 12 old men dressed in buff cloth with white cravats, and russet shoes. After this comes the ceremony of consecrating the holy ointment that is to be used during the year. Several priests go into the sacristy in procession chanting as they go, and bring out a vessel looking something like a flagon, containing the ointment This is placed on the table before the Archbishop and he commences the consecration by chanting a long psalm. He then breathes upon it, and after this about a dozen priests come up to the table and do the same. Next these same priests come In succession, having first knelt before the altar, and kneeling three times as they approached—saying each time, Ave tu tancta chritma ; " Hail thou sacred ointment," they reverently kiss the vessel—after which it is carried back as it is brought. In the same manner the vessel of holy oil is brought out, and similarly consecrated. After this there is a grand procession around the church with lighted candles, the Archbishop carrying the host or consecrated wafer under a canopy, and placing It in a side chapel which signifies the burying of Christ. Ha then returns, dresses are changed again, and with the assistance of others, the armaments and covering of the altar are removed, and the very carpet itself is taken Bp. I supposed now that all was over for the day, but was informed (hat soon the washing of the deciples' feet was to take place in the center of the church, when I already noticed that preparations had been made for something. In a few minutes the 12 old men, of whom I spoke i dressed in buff cloths, walked to the place prepared for them, and these were to represent the desciples. Next the priests and Archbishop came in, and the ceremony commenced with singing. The Archbishop being then girded with a towel, went around washing the right ! foot of each of the men, then kissing it and placing a piece of money in the hand of each. I had heard that this ceremony was to be performed at Rome by the Pope on this same day. I did not however think it worth staying for, and presume I saw it to better advantage and just as well done, though by a lower dignitary of the church. In the evening there was another great crowd in the church to see the relics which (five in number), are brought out from the treasure in procession and exhibited from a kind of pulpit or balcony which is sur rounded with curtains—drawn aside three several times to expose the relics to the people.— Many persons kneel as they are exhibited.— No bells are rung on good Friday. All are still from Thursday morning to Saturday noon, when after mass the dark coverings are taken from the altar and all the bells ring again.— The flags which meanwhile had been at half mast, are again raised. I am thus particular in describing what was so novel to me, and it may be of some intorest to you, 1 My kind clerical friend baa acted as my guid : toClay(Easlor Monday)and after we had breal fasted together we walked out and visited sai eral objects of interest.

One of the sights peoulisr to Venice is the feeding of the pigeons every day at 2 o'clock, in the great place of St. Mark. It is said that a legacy was left for this purpose by an old lady who tOok a great interest in their welfare. There is a large bell on the top of the clock tower on the square, and the hour is struck by a bronse figure who has a hammer in his hand. The pigeons seem to know the hour, for as the bell is struck, you will see flocks of them flying towards the window from which they are fed. I saw this sight on Saturday last, and to-day as I was walking through the square, I noticed many of them about, which prompted me to buy some bread and see if they would come to me. They are exceedingly tame and would light on me. I broke up the bread in little' ifieces, and there was soon.a strife among them which should carry off a piece that was a little larger than the rest. But while I was thus occupied,I found I was soon surrounded by another flock—a flock of begger boys who Beemed to dispute the title of the pigeons, and asked the bread for themselves. I had a few soldi in my pocket, (a coin worth half a cent of our money) which I threw on the pavement and left them to scramble. I soon found myself in difficulty being pursued by the unfortunate ones, and had to get off as easily as I could to my hotel. By the way, I am living juat now in a palace. .The building occupied as the Hotel de l'Europe was once the palace of the Patriarch of Venice. The Landlord showed me some of the rooms—the chapel—the library room, and some of the parlors. There are still the remains of old paintings on the walls. The building is said to be 400 years old. If so it was built before America was disoovered. I remember in my boyhood often passing an old building in Boston which bore npon its gable the date of 1680, and I used to think what an old building. This building remained till within two or three years, when in the inaroh of improvement it was torn down to make room for suoh improvements as might be made. But what is this as compared with the palace in which I am now staying J It makes a very convenient and comfortable house for a hotel. The dining room is in the upper story, on the same floor with my chamber and it is very pleasant to sit at the breakfast table and look out upon the water,aa the morning sun strikes out upon the grand canal, and out farther upon the waves of the Adriatic. It is one of the most pleasant hotels I have met with in Europe. Duly Oonaldered. ome of them the most grotesque others extrem *y tasteful.

Venice is a peculiar place, and I have been greatly excited ever since I arrived, it is so different from anything that I have seen. My guide book states that it is built on 72 islands. There is a grand canal intersected by 146 smaller canals, over which there are about 800 bridges. These are quite high and steep, formed with steps for foot passengers alone, as there are no wheeled vehicles in the city to cross them, but the intercourse is carried on by gondolas in which you are conveyed very rapidly to any part of th« city. This will, account for my saying that I took an tmnibua without hortet. There are larger gondolas which are called by this name, which take passengers from the cars to the hotels, rowed by four men. The ordinary gondola is small- 1 er, and sometimes rowed by two men, and sometimes by a single man. They are much smaller than I expected to find them, very graceful in their form, but unpleasant to the ! eye, being painted black, some of them having a covering which gives them the appearance of a hearse. In former times they were very gaily dressed, and a law was passed to prevent the extravagant display, and secure uniformity. When I arrived at the Hotel del Europe, I found that it fronted the water, and I began to fear that I could not get out without hiring a gondola every time, as the steps to the front door were on the water. After dinner, however, I was informed that there was a side door, by which I could get to the great square very easily. I started out through some very narrow streets and soon found myself in front of the famous church of St Mark, which is the cathedral of the city, and where it is said St Mark, the patron Saint, is buried. The doors were open and I had my first view of it by dim lamp light I was more diappointed with it, than any other building I have seen. I was familiar with pictures of it, and had read a good deal oi Ruskin, who has so much admiration for the " Stones of Venice." The building is a mingling of different styles of architecture—oriental and Koman; it is quite low, and is surmounted by five domes, which make it look more like a mosque than a christain church. The ceiling is very elaborately finished with mosaic work, representing various scripture soenes. The whole is very interesting as a curious exhibition of art, but it is not pleasing after seeing such buildings as Milan cathedral and St Peter's at Rome.

I could follow the service, as you used it, a few hours listening to the same lessons, and responding in the same psalter and litany. How pleasant and profitably ;t appeared to me in contrast with the shows I hare witnessed, when there was no sermon or address to edify the people. Truly I learn much by contrast, as I often think. Here I saw the lights and shades of religious life.— Ood be praised that we belong to a pure branch of the church., May we all remember our responsibility and be personally pure. NEW BAKERY.
