som, which separates the window into twelve lights. The head is filled with 

 delicate and varied tracery of very beau-iiful design. In the centre of the 

 pointed gable is an ornamental opening, moulded and surrounded by a drip- 

 stone, which is filled with louvres, for the purpose of admitting air to the 

 roof. Above is a large enriched raking-cornice. supporting a parapet of open 

 panelled \vork, from whose acutely-pointed ape.K rises an ornamental cross. 

 The lateral doorways arc recessed with drip-stoneo resting on corbels. The 

 spandrils are filled with carved shields and cinquet'oil tracery. The flanl;s 

 of the building are sustained by an equal number of graduated buttresses of 

 three stages, which rise above the embrasured parapet, and terminate in 

 pinnacles and finials. Between the several divisions ot these buttresses the 

 wall is pierced with large 0]i;'nings, having pointed arches and hood-mould- 

 ings ; each opening is divided by moulded stone muUious ami a transom into 

 six lights, and the heads filled with tracery work. The south end of the 

 church is in a plainer style than the principal, or north front. The body 

 projects here very boldly, and is to be the Sacristy : it is flanked by octagonal 

 towers. The great window which lighis the Sanctuary is 36 ft. high, by 15 

 wide, divided and subdivided into fifteen openings or lights : the head is filled 

 with very rich ornamental ramilying tracery. The clerestory which rises 

 above the roof of the side aisles, is equally divided in the sides by buttresses 

 and lofty pinnacles ; between each buttress is a pointed window, filled in with 

 mullions and tracery of cut stone. The dimensions of the building taken 

 over the walls are 178 ft. from no.ith to south, by 78 ft. in breadth ; the 

 height to the upper pinnacles of the nave 75 ft. ; the elevation of the front 

 towers is upwards ol 86 ft. The rear towers are not yet finished ; but the 

 finish is intended to correspond, in every respect, with that of the front. 

 When the edifice is completed, it will, without doubt, rank among the best of 

 our modern ecclesiastical structures, both for magnitude and beauty of 

 design. We have often greatly admired buildings planned and superintended 

 by our distinguished and excellent townsman. But. regard to truth, as well 

 as justice to professional merit, requires us to state that, for so far, Dundalk 

 chapel is decidedly the clief-d'ceuvre of Thomas J. Duff, Esq.— A'cuti/ Paper.
