Jimci U'Uonnar, HI. rafrick's Hay was observed in a becoming manner yesterday, the central point of attract Ion bclnc St. In trick's (Jhiircti, at 'Jwnntptu nnd Locust streets. Lnrpe numbers of people were obliped to turn away without gmniuir admlnnlon, so great whs he interest maniieste.l by our Irish fellow-citizens.

Themunic was tinder tlio direction of Professor All do, the choir mnL-ing Mozart's Twelfth Mas, the lending part being taken by Miss Donnelly, llrs. Janke, Mr. Hourke, and Mr. Keegan. Tlio ciihtomai v panegyric oi the Saint, was preach cJ by the Very Ur v. Junes O'Connor, Rector of fct. Chatles' Theological Seminary, and formerly liipliop of the Diocese of Pittsburg,who selected lor his text the following? Trust In tlio I,or1. and do good, nud dwell In tho .Jsijd. and !bOU t-iialt tie led with riches. I'tutm ' ' . . , . , j brethren, to We are jwcmbM to-lay, Uc, On telebrutc the feast ot Ireland's '.(g ch a dny, on finch au occasion, our thou,., " I are not tit nil with the present. now ami ineu thev revert, very culturally, to the land where wc first learned to love and honor the name of Ht. Patrick. We think, ot Inland, and the thought Awaken a thousand tender recollec tions of the tur.e, rem itc or near, when we; celebrated this day on her sacred soil. Memory recalls the simple joys ibis festival brought us in childhood, ami the eonsol.itious of laith it inspired m iiia'.urcr year. The cros and th;! mjKtie sliiimrock fastened on our young breasts by ringers that now are dust ; the happy multi tudes that hastened over bill and Vu'fey, and through the streets of city nod town, to assist at the sacrifice and testify their devotion to the saint; the joy that tilled every heart and beamed iroin every lace; the secular testivities, too, that long uene nud religion bad suue tionfd, come vivify Colore our minds. I shall sn'cftj- 0 JOU on tbis orcasion, not of Rt ' 'VirleV, nor of what Ireland did or suffered br rclision in the put, but of what Irish Catho lics are expected to dj tor it here, in America, their adopted home, and the home of He ir chil dren, and of their children's children after them forever. It is, indeed, rizbt ami proper that "Erin remember the days of old," but It is ot still irreater importance that we be mindful of the duties which the present and the future impose upon us. It requires no prophetic vision to foresee that there is a glorious destiny in store for this, coun try, if only its people cultivate the virtues that preserve and exalt a nation. The population of the United Plates is at pre cnt thirly-two millions. The child is now born who will see it incre iso to one hnudied mil lions. And, in auotlier century, U will pro bably exceed that of all Europe at the present day. The increased and ever-incre-isin lacilities of communication between the most distant parts of this continent, the almost anni hilation of space by the telegraph, will, no doubt, go far to reniove the physical and local difficulties in the wav of moulding those mil lions into one people, under one general government; but where, my brethren, will be the moral bond that will make their union proof against the bad passions of our nature, against the licentiousness, self-interest, and lanaticism that have rent asunder so mnny areat empires in the past, and which have already brought this young republic to the verc of ruin ? There Is no power but that of the Koman Catholic Church that can enable this country to realize the social and political greatness to which it Is destined in the future. The Church is the author of modern civilization. She alone understands it, is able to control and guide it. She alone has the knowledse and the helps that can lead them to the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and without which social aud political, and especially republican, liberty can be but of short duration. The Church is necefsary to preserve the unity and the liberties of the country, and guide it to the temporal greatness of which it is susceptible; but this, after all, Is but a part, and, relatively Bpeaking, an unimportant part of her missiuu, jn this lutid. That mission Is primarily and chiefly directed to promote the spiritual welfare of the millions that now inhabit it, and of the hundreds of millions that will one day till it, from the L ikes to the (Jull, from the Atlantic to the I'acitic. She would instruct those millions in the one truth ot God, she would unite them in the one woiship established by Christ, train them to the practice of tuc Christian virtues, and thus lead them to the great end of all rational creatures, the possession of eternal happine-s. What a mistiuo! What au enterprise! llow does not the Catholic heart and the Catholic Imagination warm to this vision of faith in the future of the United States ! How consol oil', too. to think that the Church is well aim- to reolize it, aud that she wilt realize it, it uot pre vented by the malice of men ! The United States may achieve the tenuxtral prcatness of which they are capable, and be brought to Catboli unity by ways of peace and prosperity, or onlyitter long years of strip- aud persecution of the Church. Iu either case Irish faith, it not an indispensable, will pe a moat important clement of success. That laith, tried and puritied and strengthened as it has Der n by long suffering, is as much needed to resist the seductions 0f uninterrupted pence and pros perity as towUhstuui the storms of rliious persecution. But how are Irishmen to fulfil the miiou Which Providence has assigned them iu tnis country! How are they to continue the glo rious work in winch already they have hud so laree a share? liy bein'.' true to the taitii by lieiug goud Catholics. This is the way, and the only way. You know, my brethren, what it means to be good Catholics. These words con vey to your minds no vague, indefinite theory of morals. They give you a rule of conducf you clearly comprehend one that is eminently practical, und w hich you are able, to apply for yourselves to all the details ot life. Love your faith; value it above all things earthly; let it be your guide and your consola tion in eood and evil lortune; preserve it in your childron, and there is every reason to hone that you will be the chiel instruments in the hands ot God in keeping this country free, in keeping it united, in making n prosperous and great above all the natious that have preceded it, in bringing its people to a kuowledge ot the true laith, and in making your posterity alter you eh'arers in these blessings.

Shame on us, that such societies were not established long ago I There is in every country, aud in almost every community, a helpless, improvident, vicious class of poor, who are such from natural indo lence, the fore of circumstances, the Ion? in dulgence of evil habits, or all these causes com bined. It is not wonderful that many such should be found among a people persecuted and crushed as the Irish have been. Such unfortu nates cannot, or will uot. help themselves or have a care of their unhappy lamllies. Tho children of such persons, as also the orphan children ot the industrious, virtuous poor, are In constiit danger of perversion in this country.

It. bnnulS it to a knowledge of the one true laiih LEGAL INTELLIQENu.r- Courtof Common Pleas. The foil iwing opinio upon an argument iu the Common Pleas, was tend by lus Honor Judge Brewster in this Court, on Saturday last; City ot Philadelphia vs. Abraham Fndav and .lolin Crump. Opinion by Judge Brewster. This is an action lor a special injunction. The bill avers tl.nl the defendant Friday is the owner of a lot at the southeast corner of Second and Chomil streets, in this city, and of a brio it building, erected partly on said lot and partly on Second street, a public highway ot the city, laid out of the width ot titty feet, "long before the erection of said building.'' That the north wall of the said building encroaches upon Second street about two ieet nine inches and seven-eighths or au inch, and that the south wall also encroaches upon said street about two feet three and one-fourth inches, a plan ot said alleged encroachment being attached to the bill as Exhibit A. The bill furt her charges that the defendant Friday has recently torn down the upper part of sa d building, intending to erect a new structure neon the first story, and then by removing the first story, and replacing it in a style to correspond with the upper part, to create an entirely new builuin?, and thus to peipetuate the i ncroachmeut. The complain ants then refer io the Act ot April 15. 17m2, de clarii.g that no length of possession of any part of a public street iu this city shall be available to liit tlio removal of any nuisance by buildings which had been, er might thereatter be erected upon any street, lane, or alley iu the city. And the bill concludes with the usual pray ers for special Hiid perpetual injunctions. The answer iKimits the ownership of the lot. and that the bmldinc is now in process of nliciation; bm the ilefe-jdant denies all the "allegations of contrivance" contained in the bill, and he avers that the act of 1782 "has no application to a building erected betore 1721." He also alleges that "as appeai3 by a deed in the line of his title," the foundations of his building were "laid before 1707, Daniel England having received a proprietary grant in 1693, and having err "ted a building oil its present site some time thereafter." The defendant, while he asseits that he has no "knowledge of the encroachments stated in the bill," yet admits that "he believes Exhibit A is true." He, how ever, contends that prior to the passage of rhe act of February 14, 1721, regulating party walls, etc., it was "impossible to have the line ollicially run, and he insists that the Common wealth "is a uecessary party that evcu if she, were a complainant, "no court of equity would decree that a "building; erected so lar buck as 1707 should he removed without jupt compensa tion to the owner for his loss-, widen would be in this case very grievous." Upon the hearing, the complainants read the nflidavits of l. hiulson Shedaker and Oliver Kans. These were received without objec tion, because a case of nuisance is an execution to the rule forbidding the reading of allidavits in opposition to the answer. Lord Fldon, who said in Clapham vs. White (8 Vesey 3. G), that uot one of five hundred afiidavits could be ud mirted after answer, iu the later case of Pcaeocli v. Peacock (tj Vesey, 50) allowed such affida vits to be read in a partnership suit. And the exceptions have been extended to cases of waste and nuisance. (See a lull collection of cases in the very learned note by Mr. Perkius to the last editions of Daniel's Ch. Pr., 17. 08.) Mr. Shedaker Is the Surveyor aud Regulator of the Third District of this city. He has had large experience in his profession, and he quali ties with gteat clearness to the tact of tne al leged encroachment, and gives the data ami tests of his measurements, and the results, from which it woulo appear that lie proceeded m tii is matter with great care and skill. The affidavit of Oliver Kvans is to the effect that the deiendaut Friday has been au occupant ot the store in the third' house below this cor ner, as tenant to Mr. Evans, for several years past: that Mr. Evans was compelled, when he put tp a new nuilding, to recede ti the line of the suet; and that when Mr. Friday was in treaty with Mr. Kvans for a lease of the uew building, he spoke of putting up a frame and sash on. the line ot the adjoining build ings, and that he was then informed of the encroachment of Mr. Evans' old house, and that his proposed extensions would be at his cost and risk. The complainauts also gave iu evidence Holmes' map, and read from William Peuu's ' "'r to the Free Society or Traders, dared Augu.-t 10, 1083, and from the city char ter of October 25. 17ul. The first patent for tbis lot, issued April 1, 1093, to Humphrey Mur ray, was also referred to as recoided iu Eem jiliricatiou book 3, p. 58. The averment that the defendant's proser.t alteration is "a device and contrivance"' Is em phatically dented by the answer is not, iu our opinion, suftiuued by the contract between the two defendants exhibited to us, and may there lore be dismissed from the eaee. Looking at the' pleading and afiidavits, we may repaid the following facts as established by admissions or by uncontradicted proof: Firtt. That Second street, in this citv, was laid out of its present width of 50 feet, at least as far back as 1083, and that the first patent for this lot was issued to Humphrey Murray, April 1, 10!i3. , Second. That the de'endant Friday's building eucroaches U on this highway, so that, at that part, it is less than 48 feet in width. Third. That before Mr. Friday purchased this property he was advised of this encroachment. Tim tiist rmint is clearly proved by Holmes' Map, the admissibility and reliability ot which were the subject of much discussion in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Alburuer, 1 Wh., 40lt. It wbb there received by Chief Justice Gibson, and his ruling i as sustained by the whole Court. Krerear.t. J. 'in n. vprv able oDiuiou. gives an interesting history of Penn's original design of a city ot lo.ooo acres, ot his change ot pian, tne grant of the liberty lauds, and the preparation of this Map of the city. He cites all tlio .wiuimia na to ancient records from the case In 1 Sulk, 2sl (where, to prove a forgery of a deed, chronicles were admitted to snow uie iinie ot the surrender ot unaries v ami as to mis map, says "it was undoubtedly e i dence," and that it "lays down the street of the citv. and tho five public squares lying across the streets, so asnot to be mistahen or confounded with the rest ot the prouud assigned for lota or left vacaut." That this map existed in 1083 would seem to be very clear from the note to Smith's Laws, vol. 2, p. 107, quoting from Proud, from the letter ot William Penn to the Free Society of Traders, and also from Reed's expla nation of the mao of the City aud Liberties. It was not denied upon the argument that the first patent lor this lot was issued April 1, 1093. This is the earliest trace of title averred in the answer. The euaoiictu-ent would appear to be clearly established by Mr. Shedaker' allidnvtt, and by the adn nslons ot M.p respondent Fndav. that "he believes Exhibit A to bo true." This exhibit contains a dralt of tho premises, shows the lines of thcftreet, i nd the intrusion of the building upontbe highway. The fact of i.otlce of this nm-ance to Mr. Fihi.ay before his purchase, would teem to to ne mad, out by the allidavn of Oliver Kvans. In the v ew we have tsiken of the case, wc however do not regard th.s ns of nn ch importai.ee. This aiiahsis of the case would appear to lead tho mind irresistibly to the conclusion that the purprcsiiire here complained of should. like all similar nuisances, be, abutHsbitt the learned counsel for the detetdants has presented cer tain obicctions, wh.cli he ha-, argued should dis- uiiguisu in is irora other cases oi encroachment. and we will proceed to stale and weigh thorn. r, 8,,".k Ttt"',l",'i''nnts 1,-, i Tllftt ' Iier'l Survey," published in 17(0, shows alhrmttively tut defendant's lot v. as surveyed in lGr-3, before Holmes' map was proarrd. Second. That prior to the passage of the act l '',rlinr t. "21, regulating party walls, etc. (Br. Dig., ,78, section 7; 1 Smith, 126), there was nothing to guide a builder, inird. That no couit of equity will enjoin i Te,,U "n"" builds as best he may. And, iiiistly. That there can be no abatement of a nuisance on a public highway unless there is private injury, except at the'suit ot the Com mon wealth. These points have been argued on both sides ith droit ability, and wc have given them carcfulconsideration. be have not been able to aeree with the re spondents as to the sufficiency of the defense thus exhibited, and wc will endeavor to state our ieasons for this conclusion. .The survey published in 1770 does not show tii.nt,1'''9 lot was surveyed as extending beyond the i.,,H of Second street, nor as encroaching upon any hiahwuy. It is iliflicult to omierstand how the" lot could be surveyed u'tlfiTTue street had first been .'nl(l ollt: aiu' if 11 wcr(; iu "ict surveyed iu 1083, Juis must have been after the regulation ol the 6ti'-,,f. "d would, it is to be pusumed, have confoOiel therct . The tact .l son. e survey is clearly .immaterial. To en title this point even to consideration, the re spondents should baveshown that the present lines of the lot were laid out in 1083. But all inquiries upon this point, which is, at best, but very uncertain, would seem to be unnecessary, in view of the fact that the first patent issued lor this lot bears date April 1, 10SJ3. On that date the title passed out of the Com monwealth to Humphrey Murray.. Second stiectbsd been laid out and regulated of the width of 50 leet ten years prior to that date, and if there were at that early day no ollicer to give to the pateutee his lines, it would have been no dillicult matter to measure lrom the line of Front street. Some measurements must have been made by the person occupying the lot, and if made with anything like diie regard for the riuhts of the public, it would have been clear that Second street was not left of the width ot 50 feet. If the defendants mean to contest this bill upon the ground that the Commonwealth has inflicted this wrong upon herself, they should distinctly so aver, and they should prove it. They have not undertaken to assert it. Even then it would be a question whether the mistake or fraud ot the ollicer could deprive the Stale of her highway. The respondents srem, however, to rest their defense upon the ground that when this building was erected there was no ojiicerio run the lines. If this is so, und the owuer undertook to ascertain the boundaries for himself upon him and his assigns would rest the responsibility of tho error. Of this they have no just reason to com plain, for the sltite-roof house, a very ancient landmark, creeled before or about the time of the house in question was, stands with a very slight variation caused by its age exactly upon tue proper line. JNorcan any length ot occu- Eation bar tuc Commouwetith's right to her iehway. The act of April 15, 1782, expressly prohibits us from allowing this delense. The settled maxim of the law is, Nullum Tempus Occumt lii'fli. The justice of this axiom has always been admitted. Mr. Broom (Legal Maxims, 27) says: "In pursuance ot the priuciple of the toVereien's ii capacity ot doinrr wrong, the laws nlso determines that "in the Crown there can be no negligence or laches, lor the time and attention ot the Sovereign must be supposed to be occupied by the cares of government; nor is there any reason that he should suffer Ini the itcmiijtnve of his otjictrs, or by their fraudulent coiluhon wall the adverse party." And he cites the English capes in support of this doctrine. In Pennsylvania the decisions speak with great clearness and unbroken uniformity. Vide Johnston vs. Irwin (3 S. and It , 291); McCoy . Dickinson College (4 S. and It., 302); Bagley vs. Wallace (10 S. and It., 245); Comm. vs. Baldwin (1 Watts. 5); Comin vs. Miltoiibercer (7 Watts, 450); McKeeb.au v?. Comm. (3 liarr, 151); Troutnian vs. May (I) Casey, 455); Magee vs. Comm. (10 Wr., 359). The reasons assigned in these cases for hold ing firmly to this principle of tho law are too well known to need repetition. They conclu sively show the force ol Sir James Mackintosh's declaration that "maxims are the condensed eood ser.se of nations." In Comm. vs. Miltou bersrer (7 Watts, 450) the defendant was ac quitted because he was able to show that "in 18011 the constituted authorities ol the city (of Pittsburg) made a reculation 111 conformity to 'Wi od's pluu,' as nearly as the same could be ascertained, aud in accordouce aud upon the luiUi of which houses had been built aud occu pied ever since." Judge drier held that this must be taken as the true regulation, "and that the net of 183e, establishing and confirming it, was both constitutional and wise." Here, how ever, the defendant has failed to show that he has built upon a line established by any regula tion. His dilticulty is that his wall extends more than two feet' beyond the line of auy plan mat can he louud. These remnrlcs would seem to disoose of the first three points which have been urged by the di leudunts. The fourth nud last objection is that the Com monwealth is a necessary party. In England bills similar to the nresent have been entertained, and relief granted upon the complaint both of municipal corporations and of individuals: vide Mayor of London vs. Bolt, r Vrs. Jr., 120; Sampson v. Smith, 8 Simons, 272: Spencer vs. Loudon Railway, 8 Simous, 103: and the recent esse of Hepburn v. Lordau, 34 L. J. R., N. s. (.Chancery), 203. . The same ruling has obtained iu the United States. See Trustees vs. Owen, 4 Paige Ch., 514; Hait vs. Mavor of Allmnv. 9 Wend., 571. And our Pennsylvania cases Diddle vs. Ash, 2 Ash., 220; Moyamensing vs. Long, 1 Parsons, 143: Boroufh 6l Franklord vs. Leuuiir, 2 Phila. Rep., 403; Pennsylvania Railroad Co. vs. Grain KlevutorCo.; 14 Wr., 40'.). Ti e right of the city and her citizens to re strain nuisances on tlio public highways has been liequently sustained iu cases' aetuust the Passenger Railway Companies. Vide Faust vs. Passenger Railway Company, 3 Phil. Rep.. 1C4; Clark vs. Second and Thiid Streets Railroad Company, 3 Phil. Rep., 259: City vs. Lombard aim South Stieets, Cr. Leg. Itit..

J., in 3 Grant, 401, is so forcible and so directly to the point as to settle the question II he stood utmustained by any other authority. He says "one of the most obvious purposes for which tho city was chartered was the police of tho streets.. To maintain and preserve them as public high ways, the powerof taxation was conferred upon the municipality, and it has been largely ex erc sod. Every prpperty-holder has a direct and vested interest iu the maintenance of this uiuu..u. Buniuiuy over the sireeti."
