Z . . . . . .. !- The Basle Gazelle publishes intelligence of the slipping of a mountain in the Grisons, on the 7th instant. It oc curred at Buschlaws, and carried away an entire forest of young trees. On the 14th, another catastrophe of the same nature occurred ; immense masses of rock were rolled into the valleys, the inhabitants of which fled in the greatest consternation. The damage done is estimated at 400.000 f. . . . . . RESULTS OF POPERY.—Four years Munich has striven to show a fair face to the world ; but the city of frescoes is a mere whited sepulchre—dazzling enough from with out, but a mass of corruption within. The streets swarm with priests and illegitimate children. The churches are ever open, but not for the exemplification of charity ; for the priests of Munich refused to pray for the restoration of health of the late Queen of Bavaria, who possessed in their eyes the damning disqualification of being a Protes tant. The hospitals, asylums, and benevolent institu tions of Munich meet one at every corner; but our grate ful wonder at their number is changed into something more than its contrary, when we know that they offer neither hospitality, refuge. nor kindness to those who are unfortunate enough to require a shelter in them. Their regulations proudly intimate that they are accessible to the suffering followers of all religions. But the assurance is belied by the performance; for we know, at least, that Protestant patients, though admitted, are exposed to everything short of absolute torture, ere they are allowed to enjoy peace of mind, or permitted to have the chance of regaining health of body. The nurses in the Munich hospitals are more like demons than ministering angels to their unfortunate and powerless victims; and it is not a month since we readof some poor blind patients who had been most inhumanly beaten by the " Sisters of Charity," for no other reason than refusing to be convinced of the truths of Popery at the bidding of those who bold them in their power, to heal or to maim. One of the greatest boasts of this iniquitous city is, that she is at the head of European civilisation, as far as civilisation can be pro moted by the patronage of the arts. But her reputation is as rotten and as ill-founded in this respect as in all others. That the great names of Bavarian artists are of no mean sound in the world, we will not dispute ; but it must be remembered that Bavaria offers neither present bread nor future hope, to any artist who does not profess Romanism as well as his own peculiar calling. The great est among the sons of art who have made Munich, out wardly the gem of Europe, are all men whose necessities have unhappily compelled them to accept Popery rather than forego patronage.— Church and State Gazette. POPISH IMAGE WORSHIP. We quote the following from the Rio de Janeiro Journal of Commerce of Aug. 13th. Of course we ,hall be told that Image worship is no part of the creed of Papists, however clearly the subjoined article, published in one of their own papers, may prove the contrary. The circumstances are published in the other Rio papers, but they give no satisfactory reason for the man in the first instance inveighing against the image in the manner represented. " On the afternoon of the 29th July last, a whitewasher of the name of Augusto Frederico de Almeida, twenty three years of age, native of the Azores, being employed in whitewashing the church of Santa Cruz des Militares, went with others to the Consistory, and, instiga ed by the devil, broke out into blasphemies a , ainst an image of our Lord Jesus Christ, notwithstanding the remonstrances of his companions. Having left the Consistory, he re sumed his work, near to the altar of our Lady of Sorrows, when suddenly a horrible cry resounded through the church, and the unfortunate man was seen to fall to the ground, struggling horribly, and without being able to utter a wind, and, we understand, he only recovered his speech after the lapse of three days. Yesterday (12th August) at ten o'clock in the forenoon, Count Iraja, the bishop of the diocese, went with the clergy of the parish to give satisfaction to the sacred image for the insult of fered. The clergy assembled with the Imperial Brother hood of the Mili.ary ; the image was uncovered, and ex posed to veneration. The Rev. Cannon Moriera, master of ceremonies, read a pastoral of the bishop. relating the particulars of the tact, and in which his Excellency treated largely on the worship of images, explaining the subject from the time of the ancient law. The unfortunate de linquent, with (leap contrition in his countenance, then made the general confession, and was absolved by his Excellency from the censures he had incurred, according to the Roman ritual. He then made a confession of faith, reciting the apostles' creed, with an explicit article* respecting the worship of images, according to the Ca tholic faith. The Litany of the Saints was then chaunted by the clergy, concluding the ceremony with the prayer Pro Ecclesia. The adoration of the sacred image then took place. all present going and prostrating themselves before it, and devoutly kissing it. 'The concourse of people was immense. The consistory and the body of the church could not contain the multitude of the faithful that assembled to witness the ceremony ; and during the whole day crowds of visitors came to adore the image of the Redeemer." *tt I solemnly affirm that there ought to be had and retained images of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God and of the other Saints, and also that to these images should be rendered the due honour and veneration " lie then knelt down, and fervently kissed the right hand of the sacred image. THE GERMAN REFORMATION. The latest accounts of the important reformation now taking place in Germany give a most interesting account of the reformer ltonge's arrival at Worms, on the 15th instant, when he addressed the people from the Market Place, where, 300 years More, Luther preached the doc trine of the reformation. The coincidence made a deep impression. He entered the town, followed by thousands and tens of thousands, who greete d him with continual shouts of joy. Two of the most notable citizens (t he one of them an Israelite) voluntarily offered their residences to serve for a place of worship, where the German Catho lic Divine service should be performed. The ihhabitants, Catholics and Protestants, undertook to arrange tie place, and succeeded in changing it into a well-adorned temple, with also several galleries, and other necessary accommo dations. However. the number of persons wisting to attend being very considerable, it was found necessary to resort to another expedient, and on the very day of its performance a tent was erected in the open air, in which more than 15,000 could thus listen to the great reformer. The ladies of the town presented a cup and other vessels necessary for the occasion. On the following day Itonge entered Darmstadt, where the same gratifying reception awaitei him. 0 entering the town, the Philharmonic Society chaunted the hymn. " Eine feat Burgist unser Gott," " A Strong Citadel," &c. The joyous acclamation of the multitude was at its height when M. Ronge addressed them from the balcony of the hotel. On the next day, Divine service was per. formed by the German Catholics, in the grand room of the hotel, it being prohibi•ed to perform the same in the open air, nor was the use of a church allowed. At Frankfort-on-the-Maine, on the 4th instant, Ronge, accompanied by his brother and the German Catholic preachers, Messrs. Dowiat and Keilman, as also by seve ral members of the German Catholic communities of the neighbourhood, arrived, followed by an incessant shout of joy from a great crowd of people. From Offenbach the road was covered by thousands of persons, and in Sachen hausen, which place they had to pass, the streets and the public places were decorated with flowers and garlands. The German Catholic Divine service was performed in the Reformed Church, and the sermon preached by M. Ronge. At Auras, on the 30th ult.. the German Catholics bad Divine service performed for the first time. Dr. Thimer officiated, and thirty-six persons partook of the sacrament. In order to heighten the solemnity of the services, thirty teachers of the public schools in the neighbourhood joined the chorus of church music. At Offenbach, Koningsberg, Breslau, Ulm, Btunshwig, Reisin, and a multitude of other places, similar gratifying demonstrations are taking place. At Breslau, on the Ist, the anniversary of Rouge's writing his famous letter to the Bishop of Treves was duly celebrated. At 13runsh wig, on the same day, the first marriage of a couple of German Catholics married by a Protestant clergyman took place. Ronge left Darmstadt on the Oth instant, amidst the shouts of thousands, who bade him a most hearty fare well ; and after his having taken a most affectionate leave from all the members composing the committee of our German Catholic congregation, they in their turn made him some valuable and significant presents. M Ronge seems indeed to have been chosen by Providence for car • rying into execution the great project which was enter tained in the 11th century by two celebrated persons, viz., Berengarius, and Arnulph, Bishop of Orleans, hut which was stifled in its birth by the powerful Roman hierarchy of that time. The commissioners appointed to inquire into the recent disturbances at Leipsig have presented their report. They state that the most unfounded rumours had prevailed re specting Prince John, and had excited the populace against him ; and that there is not the slightest ground for believing that he is any way concerned in commanding the troops to fire. They do not, however, state who is the party responsible. The Frankfort Journal of the 11th states that when the Abbe Ronge left Worms he was accompanied by nearly two hundred persons, that when upon the point of embarking at Gernsheim he was insulted by a crowd com posed of both sexes, and that the women showed more animosity than the men. M. Ronge, however, escaped in his carriage. The merchants of Worms who had accompanied him took shelter in a yard, intending to wait for the evening boat to return to Darmstadt, but they were pelted with stones and obliged to fly for their lives. One person had his head cut open. Upon em barking in the evening they were again attacked. An old man was knocked down by a stone and severely injured. One of the party retaliated and struck one of the aggres sors, which was the signal for a general attack. The fanatic crowd, headed by a police agent, rushed upon them, and severely beat the person who had struck the blow. The Journal, from which we quote, adds, that " but for the timely interference of the gendarmes, the affair might have terminated fatally." 1 2 L SU ' 1- LEMENT TO P AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1845. IRELAND. Rota! anb probintial 43,e1t)5. The flour mills of Charles Malley, Esq. at Ballyvary, near Castlebar, were destroyed by a flood a few days A serious affray took place at Buttevant last week be tween the military and the peasantry, during which a young man lost his life. Another monster meeting took place at She° on Wed nesday. As usual the numbers present are estimated at 200,000 and the liberator uttered his customary harangues. At the banquet subsequently the Romish bishops of El phin and Killaloe were present. THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The proceedings at the meeting on Monday were very dull, and the attendance poor. On the chair being taken, the secretary announced a letter from the " Liberator," which, however, merely contained a few subscriptions. The week's rent was £2lB Is. lid. THE NEW COLLEGES.—The second order of the Ro man Catholic clergy of the diocese of Clonfert, fifty-three in nnmber, have agreed to a declaration, expressing their " entire and cordial concurrence with the archbishops and bishops, in their declaration relative to the recent Act of Academic education, being convinced that the measure, in its altered as well as in its original form, is fraught with the utmost danger to faith and morals." CAPTURE OF TWELVE RIBBONMEN.—On Sunday night week, a party of police succeeded in arresting twelve Ribbonmen, while sitting in their lodge-room held in a low public-house near Enniskillen. The books, signs, and passwords, and every document of importance connected with the illegal fraternity have been secured, and will no doubt lead to further discovery as to the bane ful influence of Ribbonism. Two of the men have been committed to gaol. LONGEVITY AND ACTIVITY.—Mrs. Johnson, tenant on the Castlemaine estate, in Kilkenny-west, although in her 102 d year, has, the entire of this harveet, bound and tied the corn after two reapers, competing with the ser vant maid whose ridge would be done first and best ; she has also carded and spun two stone of wool, to be manu factured into clothes for her great grand children; and she has not only spun the wool for, but also knit all the stockings she and they wear, and almost every Sunday walks to " the church that tops the neighbouring hill," immortalised by Goldsmith.—Westmeath Guardian. LEGALITY OF ORANGEISM.—Mr. Napier, the eminent Irish counsel, says, in reply to a case submitted to him, " That it is perfectly laujul for a magistrate to advise or encourage the reorganization of the Orange Society;" and he uses these emphatic words, " The propriety of such a step, like the exercise of any privilege, is a matter for the discretion of the individual for his own guidance ; that it is his constitutional right I have no doubt." He also says. " That the Orange Society may be organised con sistently with law, retaining its former name, and acting by affiliated branches." The opinion of Mr. Napier was read at ati Orange meeting of about eighty gentlemen, at the Town-hall, at Enniskillen, on the 10th instant, at which the Earl of Enniskillen acted as president, and Mr, Dane as secretary. _ . FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN BIRKENHEAD. A special meeting of the commissioners of Birkennsad was held on Friday evening. Mr. William Jackson was in the chair ; and there were thirteen other commissioners present. The object was to sanction several matters, be fore applying to parliament for power to carry them out. Certain resolutions had been prepared by a committee of the commissioners, and Mr. Mallaby read them. The first was, in effect, to apply for powers to purchase the basin and property adjacent to the north end of George's Pier, for constructing a dock and conveniences for ferry purposes; also, so much land and shore at Woodside as might be necessary for the same purposes ; and also, land necessary for making streets and improvements, on a plan produced.—An amendment was moved by Mr. Brown rieg, seconded by Mr. Bentham, that the confirmation of the improvements be adjourned until the estimate of the expense be produced ; but this was lost, and the original motion carried by 6 to 4.—On a letter being read from Mr. North, as to the corporation of Liverpool extending the jurisdiction of the Court of Requests to Birkenhead, &c., the proposition was objected to, and resolutions were passed that parliament should be applied to, by the com missioners and others, for a Court of Requests to recover debts under £2O, in Birkenhead and adjoining town-hips ; also, that notice be given of the commissioners intention to apply for powers to levy all local rates on landlords ; also, that Mr. Lister value the land required for improve ments, and communicate with those of the commissioners only who should report the result.—The Chairman said. these matters were of great importance, and dwelt upon the necessity of good landing places, which the Liverpool Dock Trustees had to a great extent neglected to provide, suitable to the growing population of Birkenhead, and the traffic which the intended railways there terminating would bring. He said, in carrying out measures of this so r t we have, therefore, so to arrange it, that we shall not only fully supply the wants of 13irkenhead, and give ac commodation to railway passengers, but have proper landing stages to render our boats almost like a bridge. I would have it so that no pets in should come down to the pierbead without finding a packet leo:1y to set his foot in, which would go off immediately. The estimate of expenditure which these projects will involve has not yet been obtained; and in taking a vote on these resolutions, I wish it distinctly to be understood, and I should recom mend that this understanding should apply to every part of the resolutions, that the commissioners are merely giving consent that notice shall be given ; ia order that if any, or all of them should be adopted, they would suffer no delay for want of the requisite notices having been given. A Court of Requests was highly necessary, there being now orly the county court at Neston to apply to, but he would include Neston and other places in i s ju risdiction—including, in fact, all the hundred of Wirral. He moved "That the proceedings of the Special Com mittee on the subject of notices to parliament be confirmed, with the express understanding that no commissioner is pledged to support the whole or any part of the measures mentioned in those notices, but that a teport from the committee be laid before this committee within a month, (or further consideration."—After some conversation this was agreed to unanimously.—The Chairman said he had received a letter from Mr. Fielden, of Mollington, offering commissioners . —atoinmorie. t r h a e ac c , o a m s u a d p s s r i e ‘: Fieldso, and the meeting separated. A pair • o t o e f o s f wans, thanks for was the pawedlakes BALLINASLOE FAIR.—The cattle fair on the Bth inst. was quite as good as any that has taken place for some time, not excepting the fair of 1841, which was considered a large and very good one in comparison with its prede cessors for years. The. stock upon the green was not only an average one in number, but prime in quality, and prices were proportionally high. The average increase upon the prices obtained last October was from 15s. to £1 on store stock, and from Ll to Ws. on fat stock, yet there was such a demand for all clas4es of cattle, that there was scarcely a prime beast to be had after eleven o'clock. The prices on the fair day on all classes of sheep varied from 4s. to ss. above those of 1844 ; and on Monday (the second day) were so high as from 6s. to is. above the sales of that fair. —.— THE POTATOE DISEASE. — The latest accounts from Ireland on this subject are by no means satisfactory, or in any way calculated to allay the just apprehensions of a fearful scarcity, which just now seems ull but inevitable. Vast quantities of diseased potatoes have made their ap pearance in the Dublin markets, and it is feared that the crops about the metropolis have fared no better than those in the neighbouring counties. To speak in any sense of the failure of the potatoe crop, is not correct in expression. The crop itself in Ireland is abundant in produce, and would have exceeded an rterage by one-fifth, if not one fourth, had it come to perfection fit for use. But to the extent, at least, of that excess over the average—if not more—the produce has been destroyed. Destruction therefore is the proper term by which the calamity should be described. THE WIGAN ELECTION JENNY LIND.-A correspondent of the Musical World writes thus of this celebrated vocalist :—" It is not true Jenny Lind goes to England . or that Meyerbeer's Camp of Silesia will be produced at Drury-lane. I have the information from Meyerbeer himself. 1 was somewhat disappointed with the vocalist, whom I heard in Norma a , a theatre in Cologne. My impression was that she could in no way be compared to our own Adelaide Kemble. Her reception was enthusiastic, but as the opera advanced the reception became cooler and more cool, and at the conclusion the encore to the final aria was successfully opposed. Jenny Lind was, however, recalled before the curtain—as she was after the first scene in the opera—but what a difference in the zeal and unanimity of the audi ence ! The first call was the general, the last proceeded from the friends of the young artist. The other per formers in the opera were indifferently indifferent. Jenny Lind is re-engaged at the Grand Opera of Berlin at splen did terms.

HYDROPHOSIA.—On the sth April, we published a report of an inquest on the body of a man named Aaron Fletcher, who died, in Salford, of hydrophobia, produced by the bite of a dog six week's previous. Another death, we regret to say, has taken place in the course of the present week, from the same dreadful disease, produced, it is supposed, by the deccased having been bitten by the same dog about eight or nine months ago. The deceased's name was James Seddon. He was a married man, 27 years of age.—Manchester Guardian. The Rover, Captain Taylor, which left Ichaboe on the 25th July, reports that there was still guano of excellent quality on the island, though buried beneath a stratum of concrete, composed of pebbles and sand, which the for mer explorers of the island mistook for rock. [This statement has reeeived the most unqualified contra diction from a highly respectable house in this town, who say that Ichaboe in February last, was everywhere laid bare to the primitive granatic rock of which it is formed, and under which it is evidently impossible that any deposit could be found ; moreover, we have just seen a let ter from a highly respectable shipmaster who left Ichaboe for the Cape of Good Hope. in ballast, subsequent to the Rover, who says there is literally no guano lett on Ichaboe except a small quantity of such rubbish, mixed with sand, as is entirely unfit for shipment. 1t is very much to be re gretted that the editor of the kautical Magazine has been so far imposed upon as to publish, in the October number, an account of imaginary places where guano still exists on the southwest coast of Africa. We have personally exa mined most minutely, as well as hundreds of other', the localities pointed out in that work, and can most posi tively assert that no guano exists anywhere on the coast, from Little Fish Bay to the Cape of Good Hope] .L ~I" ✓~. ~i. be ra 0 1' pi i te, os ,li',o
