POPERY LN NORTH GERMANY.

The following letter appears in tho correspondence
of the Bahr. fulance Beige :
HAMBURG, SRPT. 23.
The city of Hamburg presents, at the present moment,
animation which contrasts remarkably with, the ordinary
niethodwal and regular movement of its mercantile affairs.
Blurt, yesterday deputies of the Latham associations from
all the states of Germany hare met here, to the number of
211(1, for the purpose of considering what was the best means
to he adopted for the consolidation of the protestant hier-
archy in the fatherland, and further what arrangements
will best promote the success of their various modems in
Europe mid America, the Indies awl China.
We have now thus within our walls, with the prelate Dr.
Zimmerman at their head, all the chief men of the Lutheran
confession. Although the motive assigned fur this protestant
congress appears to have reference to the aforesaid measures,
and the administration of relief to poor pastors, and assist-
ance to communes in distress, it is known that special de-
liberations are taking place upon the best mode of placing a
barrier to the incessant intasions of tbs Itosnish church in
moot of the states of Germany.
It is not to be denied that since the revolution of
1•48 Roman catholicism has made a most remarkable
progress iu Germany. The impassioned and numerous
sermons of the catholic missionaries in the northern states,
where their voice has not been beard since the 16th century,
havC made a great impression, and filled the churches with
listeners. The different governments, far from interdicting,
have seemed to Latour these numerous religious meetings.
The conversions to the Runtish church effected for some time
past in various classes of sock ty in Germany are remarkable
for their number and the notability of the persons gathered
into that fold. It is not, therefore, astonishing that ths
Lutheran pastors should think it needful to meet in com-
mon, and take counsel upon the means of arresting these
toner& upon their flocks.
The Court of Rome has made at various periods many
vain attempts to establish an episcopal see in Hamburg, the
metropolis of the north. 'These attempts have uniformly
realised so lively an opposition, not only on the part of the
senate and Lutheran clergy, but also from the reigning
princes, that ten years ago M. Laurirt, designated by the
lope to reconstruct and occupy the episcopal see destroyed
by Luther, was ordered out of our town. To-day the
Court of Rome, supported by the two great powers which
disiwow the affairs of Germany, renews its efforts with in-
creased pertinacity, and everyahing seems to indicate the
speedy creation of a Romish Bishop of Ilamburgh in the
midst of a population attached to Lutheran doctrines.

ftt,rity.—A despatch was received at Jersey on
„.. vdnesday ramming last from the Secretary of State own-
?,4tilie the punishment of death, to which Jacques
r croquet, the Jersey murderer had been sentenced, to
tramponation for Ir e. The Jersey Times of yesterday
sus that this commutation has arisen principally from
the Scretary of State misapprehending the verdict of the
ihrf *lnch convicted Fouquet, and asserts that the words
of the verdict " plutot coupable qu' innocent" is an *aqua-
litifa verdiet of guilty in the conventional verbiage of the
ishni criminal court, whereas the Secretary of State inter-
14Ttctl the lit cal translation "rather guilty than innocent"
tats a &alit entertained by the jury on the subject as to the
t. silt of the prisoner. -The Jersey Times amuses the
!.%ilish authorities of an enviable ignorance of the Jersey
the r forms and rejoices at the mistake, because it has spared
People of Jersey the ghastly ceremony of the kid en-
._""nlfti of a human life upon the scaffold. It is stated
