CATUOLICS IN GERMANY. . The following -account of Catholic Proselytes in Germany, is taken from the Etoile : "MAYENCE, SEPT. 18.-111. H. DE STAEDEL, one of the principal bankers of Mayence, who has resided here for 20 years, and who was generally regarded as the pillar of the Protestant religion, but who did not like the Lutheran Pastor of Mayence, Al. Nounweiter, take every occasion of harassing the profes sira of the Catholic faith, has just abjured Protestanism. 111. Staedel was, like most Protestants, possessed of many unrea sonable prejudices against the Roman Catholic religion ; but an old book of prayers, which chance, or rather Providence, threw in his way, first opened his eyes; he discovered in our pray ers a pure morality, a sound doctrine, and an affecting ' l lestness. M. Staedcl then conceived the design of study 'ng different works which had been written in defence of the Catholic faith, such as those of th e l earne d P rec h t l, t h e Theological System of Leilmisz., Milner's Letters, the J 'Arnal called the Catholic, &c. Two years passed in this way, during which Staedel, with fervent prayer, en- Streated God to open to him the way of truth. At ~lh, a few d ays b e f ore the feast of the Assumption, N. Je' Made his profession of faith in the church of St. Qentin, at Mayence. A few days afterwards M. NVilliam de ° lgen, whose brother h a d p rev i ous l y em b race d t h e C at h o li c teligion, made his profession of faith in the church of the Se minary, with the sanction of their father, who has another son a Deputy of the Diet of Darmstadt. Other striking conversons have occurred elsewhere s—At Frankfort, Mr. Charles Fleischer, a well informed and literary man, last Year abjured the Catholic religion, and has since his conver sion translated the refutation of -111 r. de Stourdza's book. This refutation, which was published at Mayence, contributed h i s of of Mr. Fleischer's wife, who has also ab jured. Recently Professor of History in the Lyceumof Dusseldorf pronounced his abjuration. This conversion is re- T ar kablei from a singular circumstance. Dusseldorf is a Ca tholic town, and it was hoped that none but Catholics would be ho wever, a named to t h e Professorship. The Professor in question was, ppoint e d in opposition to the wish of the Catholics, as if there had not been a Catholic sufficiently learned to men ;:Y post. Well, it is this very 'enlightened Professor who At abandoned the Protestant religion ; his conversion has made seven said, ome noise. The Protestants have complained aloud, and it is c7torrulalan Min istrY that the Professor will be removed ; but we consider ton equitable and wise to allow the Con ! ry to betray its partiality, by so arbitrary an act." , - C ibraltar Papers have arrived to the 9th of S '''P Icmbp r , h ut their contents are without lute rest' to The private letters of that date continue cotnplain of a stagnation of trade, and we re t() find that some failures have taken place 111°[ 'g the Sp an i s h merchants there.

[From La Belle Assemblied Punaic PROMENADE DRESS.—A round dress of finecam brie, with a superb border formed of stripes downwards of rich letting-in lace: at the edge of the border next the hem are two full, narrow flounces of India muslin, falling one over the other ; the border also surmounted by two similar flounces ; down the front of the skirt is an ornament that widens from the waist, and represents a narrow apron : it is trimmed on each side with full flounce ornaments of muslin, to correspond with those on the border : across arc rows of muslin, bouillones ; each bouillon separated by exquisite embroidery, in open work. The sleeves are of muslin, long, and full from the shoulder to the elbow; whence they taper off, till they nearly fit the arm. The mancherons are composed of cambric and muslin bouillons. A silk jlehu, the ground canary yellow, with large rose co loured spots, and scalloped a la Neige, is worn with this dress. Over thefiehts falls a broad double collar of fine lace. The bonnet is large, and in the Paysanne style ; it is of mar) , yel low gros de Naples, and is trimmed with o f ficial, aid very broad ribbons of rose colour: a white lace veil is generally added to this bonnet, which discovers, partially, underneath, a lace cap, and displays very little of the hair. The boots are of canary yellow kid, and the parasol of light willow green. EVENING PARTY DRESS.—Dress of white crepe lisse, with three broad flounces of blond ; each flounce headed by -a full plaiting of tulle, of which plaiting there is a triple row next the hem, laid so close to each other, as to form a ruche. The corsage of white satin, made, according to the present mode, extremely plain, having no other ornament than a small bouquet of roses, with one sprig of myrtle, placed almost under the arm. A very full plaiting o f blond finishes the tucker part of the cors a ge, which is confined round the waist by a belt of white satin, with a pearl buckle. The short sleeves are of crêpe lisse, made plain and fun ; at the shoulder t ley are orna mented by a piece of broad blond, which falls over, and is set on rather scanty; next the arm they are finished by two rows of blond, headed by a white satin router:a. The hair is arranged in curls and bows, and ornamented in a very elegant manner, with short white feathers, beautifully disposed in various direc tions ; among these feathers, and also among the tresses, are scattered full-blown roses, without foliage. the ear-rings are of large pearls detached from each other, and set in the form of a cross : the necklace consists of two rows of large pearls, the under one fastened in front with a garnet brooch, set round with small pearls, and a cross depending, close to the under row, to correspond with the ear-rings. Pearl bracelets are worn over the gloves, fastened with a garnet clasp. ( From Ackermann': Repository of Arts, Fashions, 4c.) PROMENADE DRESS.—Pelisse oflilacgros de Naples, made high and full, with a circular collar, which turns over, having a doable cording at the edge. The sleeve is plain, and very large at the top, and confined twice between the shoulder and the elbow by carded satin bands, which are decorated about two or three inches apart on each side of the front of the sleeve by campanulas or Canterbury bells, made of lilac satin. The skirt touches the ground, and is trimmed with five satin tucks of the same colour, elevated on the right side, and fastened by Canter bury bells of lilac satin : shaded lilac waist ribbon, and gold buckle in front. Very full worked muslin ruff, a little open at the front, and fastened with a gold buckle. White chip bonnet, with a band of lilac satin introduced midway of the brim, which is circular, and deep in front, but shallow behind.

The skirt has two very rich borders com posed of satin rouleaus, formed into crescents, and united by two leaves of the Alpine saxifrage, tied at the base by a circlet composed of French folds; beneath arc two satin rouleaus and a broad wadded hem. A large long sleeve of crape is added. and comes over the short one ; it is something similar to the French 'nuncio. a la neige, though without the redundant garni. tore. Turban of white crape, folded very small, and formed into large bouffitnts ; hroad and plain in front; the left side ar ranged in a full rosette, with alternate boVfants of white satin and crape; the right intermingling with the folds behind.— Black necklace and ear-rings.

Yesterday, pursuant to ancient custom, the LOAD MAYOR, the Lord Alayor Elect, the Sheriffs, the City Law Officers, and other Members of the Corpw ation, went in State to Black. friars-bridge, where they embarked on hoard the City Barges, and proceeded to Westminster; having landed, they walked in procession along Westminster Hall to the Court of Exche quer, for the purpose of having the new Sheriff's sworn into office.—Mr. Baron Bankes (the new Cursitor Baron) received the Corporation. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs Elect, and the Recorder, having advanced to the Bar, the latter Gentleman addressed his Lordship. He had the honour, he said, to pre. sent, for the purpose of being sworn into office, two Gentlemen, Anthony Brown, Esq.,and John Key, Esq., who had been chosen by their fellow-citizens to fill the Shrievalty of the City of London and County of Middlesex. The Recorder then pro. ceedcd in a long speech to enumerate the qualities necessary to inspire the citizens of London with sufficient confidence an the individuals they appoint to this high office, all of which were concentrated in the Gentlemen above-mentioned. He then adverted to the conduct of the late Sheriffs, Geo. Byrom Whit. taker, Esq. and Sir Peter Laurie, Knt., while in office, which has received the warmest approbation of the citizens assembled in Common Hall. Mr. Baron Bankes then directed the usual oaths to be taken by the late and present Sheriffs, after which. the ceremony of counting the horse shoes and nails, and chop. ping the Welts took place. Ralph Lindsay, Esq. was sworn in a Deputy Bailiff for the Borough of Southwark for the year ensuing. The Court then broke up, and the Lord Mayor, &c. returned to the City in the same state as before. • STocEno 1. , SEPT. l4.—Lord Castlereagh, nephew to the late Minister , is arrived . here withi n a few days. . PETERSBURG'', SE rr. 11.—The Hereditary Grand Ihi chess of Weimar is expected at the end of this month, and afterwards the Prince and Princess of Orange. BERLIN. SEPT. 22.—Prince Frederick, of the Netherlands, has arrived op from Brussels' BOLTON, Si:pr. 29. TINFORTUNATE ASCENT OF MR. SADLER. Mr. SADLER, the celebrated Aeronaut, whose long experience and confessed ability in his art have precluded every idea or expectation of his meeting with any unhappy adventure even calcu lated to excite the slightest alarm, has, we have some reason to apprehend, added another victim to those whose temerity has urged them to sig nalize themselves by aerial excursions. Having repeatedly, and with safety to himself, for some time past, gratified the inhabitants of Liverpool, he resolved to proceed further northward, and this day the spectacle of his ascent filled the town of Bolton. The morning was fine, but the day, as it advanced, was very unfavourable. He 1. ascended, accompanied by his assistant, and was almost immediately enveloped in a dense cloud. This was about two, or between two and three. Towards the evening the most disastrous reports were in circulation. A post-chaise was sent for to the Ship Inn at l3olton at seven o'clock.—lt seems the balloon had dropped at Ackrington, and the report was that one of the adventurers was seriously injured. About eight the chaise returned with the assistant, whose .arm was broken. It appears from his incoherent state ment, that the balloon, after throwing him out, re-ascended with Mr. Sadler ;—his fate remains in uncertainty—the town is much agitated re specting him. It is stated, in the expressive lan guage of this part of the country, that Mr. Sadler is ill hurt.—Further particulars I cannot learn, as the post is departing. • y• 2 -, **if, •••• le , ' e C I - ' P- 1 . ‘," ," • ' ..- 4.. - r ~,..• • 1r -, loksallgi7o ..-„: 4.4 IT • "C. ••-• - -07 .4....;,..... ..- 5 . 3," •i i . - -..., .4 P 1.., 4. 1 - 4 ,.,...,....... ~, ~ . 4./Zit o'l x -- ',„.. 4 A` t "..' , - • ....,-, 4 , - et * ' V . 0 rnit 4 tO , I i THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT. The new Piece, announced at the Hay market Theatre, under the title Qf Birds without Feathers, is said to be a translation of a very popular French Piece, and is, by all reports, likely to be a pleasant addition to the humour- Dos productions of that prolific dramatic hat-bed. The opening of Drury-lane Theatre is, we understand, deferred until Saturday, the 16th of October, when Mr. ELLUTON intends, on the first night, to present the public wi h a new piece, by the author of " Pride shall have a Fall." itEvNoLos, the Dramatist, has been rusticating at Boulogne during the summer, and it is reported his time but been employed in the consideration of a new Drama, in the performance of which Ducnow and his equestrian troop will be engaged. Aiiairr, the lessee of the Dublin Theatre, left town bud evening to commence his management. several of ow popular actors and actresses are engaged to perform in Dablin during the season. GEORGE CO rxmAN the younger, is said to have written a comedy for Drury-lane Theatre, in which ELLISTON is the hero. Mr. S. CHAPMAN is, we understand, engaged at Covent-garden, and will shortly make his debut in the cha racter of Richard the Third. Mr. S. CHAPMAN, when a child, acted Prince Arthur, and other characters, most ad. mirably. Should his talents have grown with his growth, he will be an acquisition. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Ears stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, a carrier, against the defendant, an ale-brewer, in Tothill-street, to recover the sum of five guineas for work and labour. The Learned Counsel said,,that the defendant having become the proprietor of the above brewery, had called upon his client, requesting that he would engtige his cart to carry his goods on the same terms as the former proprietor, Mr. Jones, had done, and also that he, the defendant, did so order it him self, and even assisted in loading the cart, at va rious times, with ale and beer, but finally, ou payment being asked, he, defendant, objected to the plaintiff's demand, and said he was not the head of the firm. If, said Mr. Erte, he could prove by witnesses that he actually hired the cart himself, his client would be entitled to the de mand be now sought to recover from their ver dict. Arthur Ramsey, the carman, proved carrying repeatedly goods in his master's cart for the de fendant, and specified various journeys, amount ing to 3/. 3s. ; and the plaintiff also drove the cart himself on several occasions. The charges were fair and reasonable. Another witness also stated that he had seen the defendant, Mr. Aston, order the cart him self and assist in loading it. The Learned JunoEsummed up the evidence, and under his Lordship's direction the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 41. Ds., deduct. ing from the original claim 16s. for journeys not proved.

This month has witnessed the gathering into the farm-yard of the finest crop of Corn for quality knnwn for many years; the quantity is not so much as was expected, but, generally speaking,• it is a very fair produce, and such as will abundantly repay the cultivator. A considerable portion of Barley has been stained, especially the latter sown crop, which standing out longer, of course was caught in the late rains.— The Oats were well got in, and their quality and quantity ar.s very good; they will bear keeping, and if too great a quantity of Foreign Oats are not forced into the country, will pay well. Vetches and Buck Wheat ripened well, and average a fair crop.—The Hops generally come to market in good condition ; we would recommend the holders not to be in too great a hurry to part with them, they will pay better for keeping.--Carrots and Parsnips !thew for a very heavy crop; the genial rains were most cheering to these valuable roots.—The Turnips, both Swedes and common sorts, arc more abundant than have been known for many years ; indeed keep ofall kinds is very plenti ful, and the markets keep at steady prices, the most desirable circumstance that can happen for the welfare of •the farmer.— The Potatoes, which are now in course of housing, are abun. dant, and of good keeping quality.—There is not any great breadth of illangel 'Wurzel sown in this part of the country, but what there is chews a very large root and abundant leaves ; it will make its way into the regular rotation of crops, as the farmer becomes acquainted with its value. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. T. The supply of all descriptions of English grain this week is moderate. Of Foreign Oats the quantity is again very large. Dry samples of 'Wheat sell freely at Monday's prices, but in other qualities there is not much doing. Barley is much wanted by Our 'misters, and is again rather clearer. Beans and Pease find buyers readily at Monday's prices. The same prices as were last quoted are asked for Oats, and obtained without difficulty from the present samples.
