The (Sects inteneled to be accomplished by this undertaking are— Firstly —The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor tant districts embraced by the line. Secondly—The benefit Of railway communication with the metro polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre sent unprovided with that accommodation. Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and its ports, including that of Hull. Commencing at the town ofNorthampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town - of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south but also to the north. At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainshorough, and, on the other, by a north-eastern coarse to the market town of Market Itaisen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby. By a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of commtmi cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts And the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only lie will can be here enumerated, viz.:— ,Starting from Great Grimsby, the l appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the securend western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition. it will ec important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Raisen and Lincoln. From G a i na heeengh, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, wilt enter upon this line at Market itta.Sen and proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the Intermediate towns must pass over tine. In tile event of the Cambridge and Lin:.`ol Railway Company not btaining their Bill, then the traffic from Litwin to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along thi3 Was of railway ; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to grantham, a distance of Atilt twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not suceeee., such traffic will proceed on to Kettering or Northareptou. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distazlc Of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of .oat Ingham and Uppingham, is without a relive?* or water-carriage :accommodation and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west hut also to London At K s e e t he te m rin es g ri tti s s in i g inc t s ha w t il te l unite with that one of the now com peting town from Manchester _London; which shall he successfuland Leicester to before Parliament. difficulties, with one or two The country Is free from engineering exceptions only, and those are more n than counterbalanced by the wry favourable gradients of by far theibeaternna portion of the line; indeed for many miles the line will run or water level, The line will not interfere with any The landowners on the line are favourable ornamental Propert a y ii n , the promoters reserve power to alter and route,vhareyundert* ax - tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase then'e to amount of ca pital ab may be necessary or advisable.

Joseph 'Satchell, Esq. John Wheelton, Esq. Edward Waddelove, Esq. Edward Welch, Esq. John Woolston, jun., Esq THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1845. PROGRESS OF THE GERMAN REFORMATION.. :s made b; Courts of Berlin, Wirtom -ianover have agreed to set on foot which the religious movements of the more especially those of the " Friends of ..fight," shall be di.scussed. The basis to be adopted in- these conferences will be a strict separa tion of the political from the religious element in the movement ; t o restrain the former with s very tight rein, while to the latter will be conceded a freer and larger arena. The question of Church Go vernment in particular to be left open, but doctrinal points not to be allowed too wide an extent. In oppo sition to the foregoing, the TVeßer Zeitung quotes, on the other hand, a communication from Frankfort, in which it is roundly asserted that the religious movement in Germany has been already subject of discussion in the Diet, whose sittings ceased on the 11th September, to be resumed on the Bth of January, 1846. The Jesuit question, it is understood, did not come under considera tion, as the political and not the dogmatical aspect of the movement attracted attention, and the deliberations of the Diet were limited to the concoctions of mea sures to secure the existing order of political affairs against being affected by the religious ferment. " Who," asks the Frankfort correspondent, " who that ha's ob served the simultaneous and almost identical measures adopted in regard of the German Catholics by various German states, can doubt that such unusual union of ac tion is the result of previous union of counsel ?" HANAU, SEPT. 13.—Our Government has proved its determination to carry out to the letter its announced course regarding the German Catholics, by prohibiting Ronge to stop . even one night in this city, or to preside over any meeting for Divine worship. DRESDEN, SEPT. 16.—The refusal of the Wirtemberg Government to grant the use of one of the churches in Stuttgardt to the German-Catholics is but a counterpart of the decision of our Ministry, by whom a similar re fusel has just been given. The disappointment :_ greater here, as the ecclesiastical and town authorities were unanimous in according them the accommodation. STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 17.—The German Catholic Church Assembly completed its sittings this day. The solemnities were terminated by Divine service, under the guidance of Ronge and Dowrat. The last business meeting took place yesterday, in which, however, no questions were discussed ; but the time was chiefly occupied with a statement of the nature and importance of German Catholicism, and a reply to the often -put question, " What do the German Catholics aim at?" SEPT. 19.—Yesterday Ronge and his friends received many testimonials of affection from his adherents in Stuttgardt. Poems, garlands, and still more valuable proofs of attachment were handed to him in various com panies to which he had been invited, and this morning, at ten o'clock, he left for Ulm. A great concourse of people had assembled in the Dorothea-square, who greeted Ronge and his companions as they issued from their dwelling (which was nearly covered with garlands) with a joyful viva ! A garlanded carriage received the so highly- prized reformers, and drove off, escorted by some members of the German Catholic committee on horseback, and followed by several other carriages. ULSI.—At a dinner party given by the inhabitants of this town to M. Ronge, and at si hich more than seventy of its distinguished citizens, and• several dele gates from the neighbouring places, were present, Dr. Gramm, the public physician of the district, made a speech, from which we extract the following : " Dear Brethren, much esteemed Friends,—lt is known to you all that we German Catholics have separated ourselves from the Pope, from our Roman Catholic Bishop, and from his chapter. Now, it would be supposed that we are like sheep without a shepherd, and unable to defend ourselves against our numerous enemies ; but this is not our case. For, in union with our Protestant brethren, we have our bishop in the person of our just and courageous King, who will acknowledge us as his faithful subjects, since we com bat all foreign influence, which is injurious to the free development of spiritual liberty, whether such an in fluence proceeds from this side or from the other side of the mountains." berg, Saxor - and rir conferences, jn day, an -3 T: " s the The assembly-room was magnificently decorated, and in one transparency, in large character, was read "Johannes Runge, the Champion of Light and Truth." STIITTGARDT, SEPT. 25.—M. Ronge returned here last evening from Ulm. The report which has circulated here that he had been assassinated, or at least fired at, in the latter town, proves to have been groundless, M. Ronge sets out this morning on a journey, but is believed w be back in a fortnight, during which time it is ex pected that the renewed petition made by the inhabitants :)f our town to the Ministry, in order to have a church granted to the German Catholic community, will have proved successful. Indeed, this is hoped to arrive as soon as our King returns, which return is daily looked for. The cause of the German Catholic Church is gaining much ground here, in spite of all the endeavours to the contrary made by the Romanists of our place ; and all their insinuations cannot hinder both Catholics and Fro testants from joining the new Church, which counts now amongst its members several persons of the nobility. It is reported that a community of German Catholics is about to be formed at Heilbronn, and M. Ronge's pro ceeding there relates to this latter formation, which he will endeavour both to call into life and to organise. From thence M. Ronge will go to Heidelberg and to elanheim. Of his further movements nothing has as yet transpired, but it is supposed that he and his com• panions will meet Professor Konuer, from Ulm, at Elberfeld, C. H.

BANKERS—Sheffield and Rotherham Banking Company, Rotherham The object of this undertaking is to connect the Sheffield and Man chester—Huddersfield arid Sheffield—Midland and Great Grimsby Railways—the ports of Liverpool and Birkenhead on the western, and Great Grimsby on the eastern coast, affording accommodation to all the important intervening manufacturing and agricultural dis tricts—in fact, to open the shortest and most direst communication between the eastern and western counties of England. It is pro posed to commence at Wortley and run to the Midland at or near Masbrough, affording an outlet north and south, and thence for ward to Gainsborough. There are abutting on the west end of the line the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire, with a population of 2,221,988—and on the east end Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire, with a popu lation of 431,485. Under any circumstances, the intercourse between two such masses of population must be great; but in this case It is much beyond the average from the different character of the country, and the pursuits of the inhabitants at the two termini—Lancashire and Yorkshire having redundant supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and m nufactured goods of every description, while Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire and the east are dependent on the former counties for these productions—and send their large supplies of corn and cattle to the Yorkshire and Lancashire markets. The traffic in goods and passengers between such important and mutually dependent districts must be unusually great. A glance at the snap of England will show that the proposed li ne will be, as nearly as may be, a straight one. .A circuitous line is an de tainedevil, a and loopnvie time—by m toe e public—by travelling e l i ll e l y n . g a T i h o g p er u d b is h a u e suffer e— a nbdy by be ingpayinga larger fare than is necessary—and the proprietors suffer by being exposed to the risk, or rather to the certainty of their property b e i ng destroyed at some future period by the competition of a shorter and more direct line. Sir Robert Peel, in his place in Parliament, on the 15th of March, 1845, upon this point said—" Me would make no re ference to any lndiviaual railway schemes, but he thought they ought to look forward to the result of mechanical improvements as applied to those schemes, and they might depend upon It (speaking of ulti mate results) that the shortest lines would be preferred.—(Hear, hear.) The tendency of the improvements which were almost daily Introduced, was decidedly in favour of the shortest lines." It may also be observed that the Board of Trade, in their detailed r G e a p i o n r s t b , r i o n u g r h e fe ( r w e h n i c e e h t o w a t h s f t o h r e co li n n s e ide f r r a T ion ßo a t s h a erh e a is m tinc to t sub p m ar i t tted " scheme), state it to be " d ec id e dl y preferable to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire or the Sheffield branch of the London, and York ;" and that " It affords a better connexion also with the important market town of Rotherham, and with the North Midland Railway, and gives as direct a communication as could be desired with Gains borough and Lincoln." so Wtheiltunele, irma fa y v al oviii be le fa a ir n ly op g i r n a io n n ted is teoxtphrese esedxteunpsoionntfhriosinpoßrtolothneor.f ham to Wortley, By the Sheffield and Manchester, and the Sheffield and Rotherham Railways, the distance from Wortley miles, which by b l y npoEr t tn l i i og e nlan p od r f o . p w o ti v he d u e n x e to Rotherham is 1414 out one on r e ed o e f ee th i e b t e e sf c 9 o . will l si a o l n so o w ne il n l inex haustible quarries 4 il supplies i i b p l :i t ; ( s i ai o tti f g Park-gate r pou k rr l e a ys t e, e s i_inwdhS containingi i l l e k s t a o t n evnervery coals—besides n cuffesuperior an greendtshtoecni,ea pffor T P3ar o aDv w i n irig , there are already most extensive ironworks in active ope ration.

Rotherham is the great cattle market of Y or k sh i re, and likewise an important corn market, and one of the objects attained by the promoters of this undertaking is the shortest route from the manufacturing lt wtoillthaeccagrionncioildtaur adlisostritchtse—tarnadmcfroomf the i ci iiiiiral to the gnat markets of Yorkshire, and the consuming VT . which it passes, and possesses the peculiar feature possible, the old route in which the stream of . passengers, has hitherto been accustomed to traffic, and especially pik be e!r w o e a e d n . flow.

To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports (at present wholly with proved means for the bl and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To : I T:polls, and with each other. supply to the nutnerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district t t oe h ur r te o hr u a : in l l through oyhfl accommodation),ce o h m t m ie u i n n i t e e a n t d i o e d line with greatly t w h i let metropolis, Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, Passing through or near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulle-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removing of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter fere with existing railway Interests, further than is absolutely indis pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com pany with which this line may ultimately be connected. A glance at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon, Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, Re., and London, proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of population to whom this line will be available. The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metrop o li s , an d b etween the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, Re., and who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, frogs the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenient. Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been two, tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate can be formed of them, it is considered that they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated will be in full pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the adntired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become aprotitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing that it is appro v ed o f, ant will be generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Portia merit. to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be applied for 14 the Bijj tA alielv interest at 41 ! per Pent, per annum on all calls from the passing et' the Act until the opening of the line.

The rejoicing, shouts, ancf hurr a h s of the multitude be came there so deafening, that Range at length appeared at a window of a second story of an adjoining house, whence he gave a short address to the waiting mass of human beings, expressive of his heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary reception he had met with ; his regret that his necessarily short stay precluded his replying to it as he wished ; and his intention of soon returnine. to Frankfort for a longer period. Soon after eleven o'clock A.m., he drove off towards Stuttgardt, but such was the pressure of the crowd, as to compel passing through the streets at a funeral pace, and it was not without difficulty that numbers were prevented actually stopping the car riage for the purpose of touching the reformer's person ! THE GERMAN CATHOLIC SYNOD IN STUTTGARDT.— The Wirtemberg Government having refused the German Catholics the use of a church to hold their conference in (though such bad been granted them by theecclesiastical , authorities), on the ground that a public celebration of Divine worship in a building belonging to the Esta blished Church would be tantamount to a recognition of them as a religious body, for which indeed they have ap plied, but have not yet obtained, they have been directed to hold their proposed meetings either in a private build ing, or, as hitherto, in one of th e c h urc h es b e l ong i ng t o the reformed (or Genevese) congregation. " Hitherto," says the Allgemeine Zeitung, in reference to this denial, " the interest felt by the lay public in the new sect was comparatively trifling, but now, all at once, an eager desire seems to have arisen, and petitions in favour or their toleration come in from all quarters, a fact which very evidently proves that a religious move ment can by no system of resistance be so effectually rendered harmless as by leaving it a free and unhindered course •, for so coon as either, with or without founda tion, the idea of arbitrary suppression is spread abroad, the German phlegm gives place to eager sympathy, and the almost expiring lamp of public interest is instantly re-fanned into a flame. A petition, to which 2,000 sig natures are already appended, has been presented by Lutheran citizens of Stuttgardt, praying that one of their churches may be granted to the use of their German Catholic brethren." STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 13.—A. considerable number of deputies to the German Catholic Synod were present today at Divine service, at which Kirbl e r p res id e d, i n the reformed church, hich was festively hung with flowers, and, although cards of admission alone pro cured entrance, filled to overflowing. The communion plate, presented to the new congregation by some Lutheran well-wisher in this city, was used for the first time on this occasion. The meetings on the morning and afternoon of the 14th, as well as this morn ing's meeting, were private, at which, among other pre liminary business, presaes and secretaries for the ensuing council were elected; but the meeting of this afternoon, which assembled at three o'clock in the ball of the Sil berburg, kindly granted by the Directors of the Museum Society, was public, and numerously attended by per son s of both sexes and all confessions. Twenty-four delegates, many of whom act as proxies for several congregations, were present, as well as deputies from London and Rotterdam, who, of course, were more in the character of listeners than actual members of this Rhenise synod. The next meeting is appointed to take place in Frankfort, where many points respecting church government and a more ex tended organisation, which were on this occasion brought under consideration, will he more definitively settled. THEINER AND THE SILESIAN REFORM. —The long expected work by which this celebrated theologian was to avow and defend his adhesion to the German Catholics has at last begun to be laid before the public, and con tains a justification of the reform m ovement by a con nected authentification of the incurable abuses which have taken root in the Roman Catholic Church, and the hopelessness of obtaining from the Pope or Roman priesthood, as now constituted, any concession of a more rational church service. Theiner, as is well known, has laid down his office in the Roman Ca tholic Church, and addresses this work (the first part of which is now before us) to his former parishioners, under the title of " Efforts at Reform in the Catholic Church"—a circular letter, addressed flr;t to the congre gations of Polsnitz, Grussen, and Hundsfeld, and next to all Catholic Christians who regard the revelation of Jesus Christ as eternal and saving truth. Without any unnecessary parade of learning, Theiner details the abuses and unchristian system which hare obtained in the Church he has left. We hear, too, that he had early withdrawn everything like polemics from his pulpit and private instruction, seeking by a simple exhibition of purer doctrines to stimulate and satisfy the spiritual wants of his flock, and uniting in these efforts with a small but zealous portion of the Si lesian clergy, until the pertinacious refusal of his eccle siastical superiors to listen to any proposal for a purification of either ritual or doctrine compelled him to relinquish office in a church where he was called on to preach and teach observances and dogmas which neither his reason nor his conscience approved. The abuses so often alluded to are stated by Theiner in much the usual manner, yet with constant refe rence to the previous struggles of enlightened priests and princes for reform in the Roman Ca tholic Church. He is more diffuse in stating his views in regatd to the position occupied, whether by the priesthood or by orthodox Catholics at large, in re gard to the state, as well as on the subject of mixed marriages. He displays simply, but effectively, the con tradictions Which Rome has constantly submitted to, and cannot avoid by her laws against heretics, and adduces many terrific examples of the means employed by " the Church," to obtain an accession of di.-ciples. BRESLAW, SEPT. 12.—The people in Uper Silesia are, by ceaseless excitement, stirred up to such a degree of fanaticism, that it is much to be feared very energetic measures will speedily be called for. Under such cir cumstances alone is it comprehensible, that those lawless disturbers of the peace at Tarnowitz who are now under confinement and examination for tumultuous proceedings should be termed by the Silesian (Roman Catholic) Church Journal, the "firm principled citizens," or that the same paper should sound its pecans over the infamous attack on Rouge's life. But what then shall we say to attempts being made not only to obtain from the King the liberation without trial of these turbulent spirits, but to actual subscriptions being now raised to meet the fines which, it is anticipated, may pro bably be levied upon them as the due reward of their delinquency. It is, however, to be hoped that, as is credibly reported, measures are in preparation which will prove the time is not yet come in Prussia when the open avowal of religious conviction involves danger of one's life ; and even the above-named journal may perhaps learn that an open defence of illegal pro cedings is not admissible in our days ; and, conse quently, repent having so prematurely shown its colours. Meanwhile, the Dissenters from Rome are increasing. not only in Breslaw, where one-fourth of the Catholic population (reckoned at about 30,000) has joined the sect, but throughout the whole province. Congregations have lately established at Sprottau and Auras, and seve ral other places, such as Sagan, Frankenstein, and even Patchkan, are expected speedily to follow the example. TSERLOHN, SEPT. 10.— The late Roman Catholic priest, Briedenbach, of Strutt, a man of distinguished oratorical powers, and possessed not only of th e l ove o f his parishioners, but of the respect and esteem of his ghostly superiors, having very recently f orsa k en t h e Roman for the German Catholic Church, has accepted a call to preside over that branch of it which exists here, and was received to-day in a really magnificent manner. The discharge of nearly thirty pieces of ordnance, and a cot Sege of above ten thousand persons, whose vivas rent the air, hailed his approach to the city. The German Catholic cause has obtained by the ac quisition of Breidenbach a powerful support, not merely in Iserholm, but through the surrounding district, where many congregations exist, and more are in contempla tion. A new one was definitively organised on the 7th instant, in our neighbouring town, Hagen.—Elberfeld Zeitung. MAYENCE, SEPT. 6.—Our Bishop has deemed it his duty to announce to his clergy the apostacy of one of their brethren, the late Dean Winter, in Alzei, from the Roman Catholic Church. The exhortations and admo nitions with which the notification is accompanied are singularly mild, and whilst they are exhorted to pray for the restoration of their erring brother to the bossm of the true Church, the new Catholic sect to which he has joined himself- is adverted to in much more moderate terms than in the ban lately published by the Bishop of Fulda. EICHSTADT (BAVARIA), SEPT. 12.—The establishment of this bishopric, which has now existed 1,100 years, was celebrated here on the 7th inst. The whole city, but more particularly the cathedral, was festively adorned, the choir being entirely covered with a new carpet 286 feet square, embroidered by the ladies of Eichstadt and other places throughout the bishopric. The solemn proce=sion of the reliques of St. Willibach and St Walburga was joined by the Archbishop of Mun chen Freising, the Bishops of Augsburgh, Spiers, Wurz barg, Regensburg, and Eichstadt, and an immense num ber from this city and neighbourhood. BOHEMIAN FRONTIERS, SEPT. 10.—Some time since a society was formed in the Leitmeritz diocese, under the immediate patronage of its bishop, in honour of "the immaculate heart of the Virgin Mary," to which the in. ferior clergy as a body, and their most zealous adherents, have given their support. But Bishop Rifle has recently come forward with a new evidence of his zeal, by com manding the introduction of so-called "spiritual exer cises," in which a majority of the clergy and consider. able numbers of the more devout among the laity take part. The members of this godly society were convened in Leitmeritz the beginning of this month, for the pur pose of spending eight days consecutively in the said spiritual exercises, among which, and cer tainly not the least remarkable, is the subjecting themselves voluntarily to a severe mutual scourging! Total silence is imposed on them during the whole period of their being together ; and strict fasting, except a light soup for supper, as well as every species of bodily convenience or recreation are forbidden. HaenEesrAni, SEPT. &.—The day before yesterday, Pastor Willig, lately Catholic priest in Hamburgh, arrived here by invitation of the Roman dissidente of this place, and celebrated Divine service in the Holy Ghost Church, at which, hesides the members of the new com munity, very many Roman Catholics and from 600 to 800 Protestants were present. The German Cathol . cs have, it seems, given a re tiler call to Wilirg to remain as their pastor, which, howver, he has not definitively accepted, but promised to return after his visit to Berlin and Leipzic, and spend some months here. BERLIN, SEPT. 14.—Some journals lat-ly circulated , t he hi ghlYsimProbßble intelligence that the question of religious diffeiehees was to come before the Diet ; we believe ourselves warranted in giving the following as a better founded statement ;--In consequence of arrange- MANREIM, SEPT. 29.—Messrs. Ronge and Donran, and their travelling companions have just arrived here. They were met by a joyous crowd at the railway tation, who accompanied them into the town. The au thorities, however, would not permit M. Ronge and his partisans to enter the church. The police also refused permission for M. Ronge to hold an assembly of the German Catholics at the theatre. In consequence of this refusal the proprietor of the theatre invited the tra vellers to his own house. A letter from Heidelberg states that while Ronge was in that city, the chiefs of the German Catholic c mmu nity were cited before the municipal authorities, who signified to them that unless they would guarantee the observance of the decrees issued relative to M. Ronge, he would be ordered to quit the town. STRAND THEATRE. M. Philippe, the neatest, the cleverest, the most gen tlemanly of necromancers, has taken this delightful little snuggery, and fitted it up as a Temple of Magic, and during the whole of this week he has been surprising crowded audiences by his delightful and really wonder rul performances. All our readers have doubtless read of the delightful doings at the Carnival at Naples, and have longed to enjoy the luxury of being pelted with delicious bonbons, let them go to the Strand Theatre ; it ;s every night acarnival there ; you have music and lights, and wit (Mr. Philippe is a most geat-lenaanly and witty actor, as well as a great magician) and wine (his Liqueristo furnishes the most delicious wines and liquers) and beat of all showers of the most delicious bonbons, which could not b u t b e h onoure d w i th the high approval of even her sweet-loving Majesty of Spain herself. M. Philippe is seen to even greater advantage at the Strand than he was at the St. James's. The theatre is not so deep or so narrow —the audience is nearer the stage, and they are able to observe more narrowly, and to watch every step in the progress of a trick, and thus the talent of the necromancer is more thoroughly appre ciated. The performances, too, are over at a reasonable hour (half-past ten), a most desirable thing where chil dren are part of the audience; and at the present moment there is not an amusement in London to which it is a greater treat to take children than to M. Philippe's Soirees Mysteriemses. Take it for all in all the Strand Theatre is now one of the plesantest evening lounges in the metropolis. A SEASONABLE WORD ON RAILWAYS. By Mr. Punch. At a dinner given by the Directors of the Diddlesex Junction Railway to one another out of the funds of the Company,—Fitz James de la Pluche, Esq., chairman, — Punch, Esq., vice -chairman,—the latter gentleman deli vered the following speech, in reply to a complimentary oration from the distinguished President : " Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—The manner in which you have drank my health is most gratifying to me. I won't say that tears choke my utterance,' as O'Connell did, upon a solemn occasion, the other day. Humbug and hypocrisy will not pass for honest emotion in England, and never can be welcome to honest men. Gentlemen, I drink all your good healths in return. — (Cheers.) "There was a talk last week of an Order in Council to prohibit the further issue of railroad prospectuses, on the plea that there were too many now on hand, and that it was imp.ssible for Parliament to discuss those schemes already extant in the course of next session. " Mr. Punch is inclined to be of the opinion of the Order in Council, for various cogent rLason s . "In the first pl ace —d o we wish to be the death of the House of Commons? If we work them with bills as we did last session, every one, except a few of the tough ones, will expire. Fancy a House composed of Hume and Peel, for instance, whom nothing can kill—old Joe, with his stupid figures of Arithmetic, and Bob, with his incomparably stupider figures of speech. (Sensation dans Paucbtoire.) " Secondly,—and this is even a more important rea son than the former—although some of you, my dear brethren, don't care a jot whether the House of Com mons is dead or alive, yet your own interests will pro bably affect you sincerely. Men and shareholders, you have already signed your deeds, pocketed your premiums, and the scheme being agreed to by Parliament, com mitted yourselves to the finishing of your respective un dertakings within a certain space of say three years. " Look, my dears, at the number of schemes now on the list ! I can't stop to count them—l can't tell the number of deeds I myself have signed—(the number of applications I myself have made—(Great applause) but oh, my dear brother-shareholders, which among you will not agree with me, that there is as much money to pay as this great country can conveniently fork out; that there is as much to do as our labourers possibly can do; and that it will be well to get that done before we engage ourselves farther? " Parliament binds you to execute your contracts in a certain short period of years, or months almost. You nitist, have the iron in that time, and do you think the ironniaters will spare you ? You must have the labour performed, and where are the hands to do it ? Work men will ben such request for the next three years, that the hest profession for younger sons will be the pickaxe and shovel. Navies may dictate their own terms —at least until the Companies are bankrupt, when there will be no labour, nor wages, nor railroads at all. It will boa qad day 'wlien capitalists, and ironmasters, and work Men, sit looking at each other, after the general smash that our haste for speculation has occasioned.— (Profound attention.)
