LUTHER is received by them everywhere with open arms.
At Ulm, Stuttgard, Manheim, Heidelberg, and latterly at
Frankfort, his arrival was welcomed by immense crowds, and
his march through the different states is described as
resembling more the :gorgeous triumph of a con-
queror than the journey of a Christian minister
But the most important point of all remains to be noticed.
The riots at Leipsic had given ',great uneasiness to the Go-
vernment of the King of SAXONY, and as these were sup-
posed to have been caused by the excitement connected
with the new religion, the Chambers of that kingdom, on
their assembling some ten days since, proposed to appoint a
committee to take into consideration the whole- question of
German Catholicism, as promulgated by RONGE. A com-
mittee, after some discussion, was accordingly appointed.
They were not long in making their report, and we are
gratified to find that it is so liberal and satisfactory.
Tile report enters into the state of the question, and the
progress of the new doctrines, as well as other opinions not
immediately connected with Church affairs. " The move
ment," it says, "which has taken place in the whole of Ger-
many, has been followed by a series of events which could
not fail to interest every thinking mind, as well as the Go-
vernments of the various countries in which they occurred.
One of the most prominent of these occurrences
is the separation of a considerable number of
Catholics from the Roman Catholic Church, and the formation
of a German Catholic Church, the communities of which are
continually increasing in various parts of the country. This
new church is not only different with regard to its dogmas
and church organisation from that from which it has sepa-
rated itself, but also from all the other churches and commu-
r;ties of Germany, professing, however, at the same time to
be a Christian church." The report then recommends the
Government to decree the following temporary regulations
with regard to the German Catholic Church and its commu-
r !ties, adding some additional points for future consideration
1. That in all such places where, in consequence of the great
number of German Catholics or other local circumstances, the al-
location of a particular place of worship should become necessary,
the use of an evangelical church should be permitted to the new
community, with the exception, however, of the permission
of ringing the bells of that church, &c. 2. The doc-
trines preached by the ministers of the new church
must sot militate against the constitution of the state.
3. The ministers of the new church are permitted to
perform in their communities the ceremonies of haptism,tmarriage.
and burial, on the condition, however, that a Protestant clergyman
be always present on the occasion, but that the latter shall not be
obliged to afford his attendance. The Committee is of opinion
that, considering all the circumstances, and in order that these
temporary regulations should be the more effectual, the mi-
nisters of the German Catholic Church ought to he allowed to
perform in their communities the ceremonies of baptism, mar-
riage, and burial, having only to indicate the same to the resident
Protestant divines; and that with respect to marriages, the former
should only perform the religious ceremony. The Committee
points further out the following two objects for the future conside-
ration of the Chamber and the Ministers—viz., first, whether the
members of the new church will have to continue to pay in the
meantime church.rate to the Roman Catholic Church? Secondly,
whether they will continue to enjoy the same rights and privileges
as before the separation ?"

Madrid papers of the Ist instant state that the trial of
CORTINA, MADOZ, and others, said to have been implicatcd
in the insurrection at Alicante, had commenced, and excited
much interest. ConTINA is in Fraice, but MADoz was pre-
sent, and made a powerful defence of himself and the other
persons accused. The trial was expected to last for some
days, and little doubt existed that all would be acquitted.
The Gazette contains the names of the new Councillors of
State, but with the exception of BRAVO MURILLO, DE BAL-
LISTEROS, DE CAsTRO, and one or two, more, they are un-
known to the English reader. Sir ROBERT INGLIS arrived
at Madrid on the Ist, and Mr. BULWER on the same day
resumed his official duties at the Court.
Some private transactions took place on the Bourse at 133
for cash.

BRUSSELS, Ocr. 6.—The Commercial Council' of Brussels,
in its [sitting to-day, appointed a Committee of five mem-
bers, in addition to the existing Board, to have the direction
of all affairs relative to the supply of provisions.
A vote of credit to the amount of 100,000 f. was then
passed, to be placed at the disposal of thismixed commission.
By aresolution of Ist 0 ctober, the permanent deputation of
the province of Antwerp has appointed a Special Commission
in every district (the commissary being president), to dis-
cuss the measures to be taken in the rural districts, relative
to the high price of provisions.
A considerable quantity of potatoes, purchased in Eng-
land, has just arrived at Brussels.
A letter from Dusseldorf, of the 3d of October, says—
" The opening of the railway from Dusseldorf to Cologne will
take place on the Ist of November next. The general meet-
ing of the shareholders of the railway from Dusseldorf to
Elberfeld, took place yesterday. The result of this meeting
was highly satisfactory. A great house in this city purchased
shares to the amount of 150,000 f.

THE GERMAN' CATHOLIC
CHURCH.

SCITUEIDEMUIIL.—Our German Catholic Church will
shortly be under roof, and we most heartily wish that the
reformation festival, which is to be solemnised in it in the
middle of October'next, may assemble here all these valiant
champions who were raised by the cry for help, which once
went forth from this little place, in order that they may thus
receive the thanks of the liberated, and that they may behold
the first erected German Catholic place of worship which is
destined to coasecrate to future generations their heroic
achievements.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were only
about 2,000 ba'es, including 300 for expert. Prices were
nominally without alteration. There was but little doing
in Shares, and the market was very dull.
There was not any important sale of colonial or foreign
produce to-day, but it is satisfactory to be enabled to
state that the trade and commerce are in a most satisfactory
condition. We may notice officially the active demand
which continues to exist for wools, the produce of the
British Colonies, which are realising very fair, and full
prices. The purchases, too, are made almost exclusively for
immediate consumption. The same remark will apply to the
Indigo sales, that are now in progress. Much interest
is attached to the expose of the revenue returns for the pres< nt
quarter, which will be made public in a very few days.
Taking the reduction of duties into consideration, it is fully
expected that the resources of the country will be found to
have been most beneficially augmented in these items which
denote prosperity among the labouring population of the
United Kingdom. Following up the few remarks we made
under this head two or three days back, as to the
great cattle fair at Ballinasloe, it is with pleasure we are
enabled to state that the prices realised for Sheep and Cattle
exceed the most sanguine expectations of the flock-masters
and graziers. It is to be hoped that the agriculturists of
Ireland will take advantage of the present favourable con-
dition of the markets there as well as in England, to turn
attention to the improvement of their flocks and farms, and
thus render their condition as good as it ought to be. It is
the opinion of practical men in this country that, with a
moderate degree of care and industry, the produce of the
Sister Isle might, in a few years only, be doubled.
There are no arrivals of the least importance in the City
to-day.
A good deal of business has been transacted in the Como'
Market to-day at prices varying from 98% to 98%. For
the Account the quotation has been most steadily main-
tained at 98%. Exchequer-bills reached 50s. in the early
part of the day, but they are now at 48s. premium. India
Stock commands 266.
The Foreign Funds were in better demand to-day. Bra-
zilian reached 86, Danish 89 and 88. Mexican were sold at
31%, Peruvian at 38 and 37%, the Spanish Three per
Cents at 38%, the Deferred at 15%, and the Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents at 60%.
The Railway Share'Market has been scarcely so firm upon
the whole as it was yesterday. The French lines continue in
request.

NEUSTADT, NEAR THE HAARDT.-Our German Catholic
community has inserted in the public papers the following
reply to an anonymous writer in the Post Gazette of Augs-
burgh :—" We, German Catholics, or, as you style us, the
followers of Ronge, declare herewith that we still continue
to adhere to the cause of Church reform, and that we do
not intend to deviate from our line of conduct, as regulated
by the firm principles of Christianity. We cannot, indeed,
boast of many noble members; but we have, however, sixty
heads f families in our community, who, we are sure, fulfil
their duties as men and as citizens. That we do not enjoy
here the same privileges as the other sister communities, will
be easily conceived by all those who consider the circum-
stances in which we are placed. Notwithstanding which,
we shall remain firmly attached to the cause of light and
truth."

The following extract from a song attributed to Herwegh,
relates to the same subject :
" On the throne of sacred justice brutal might :again to rear,
And to force the whole creation a vile slavish form to wear;
And the sky with clouds to cover, when the sun is glad and
bright,
And to bury ev'ry nation in its old and deadly night;—
And the youthful Easter morning, in its majesty sublime,
With the impious blade to scratch out from the almanack of
time;
In the very bud to stifle revelations as they rise,
Truth to overload with curses—honour to bestow on lies ;
And to shriek throughout creation, yelling Backwards !'—
word profane,
And by form and rule to slaughter what the mind's exertions
gain ;
And the hand on culture's dial to turn back, and check the
tone
Of the silver bell of freedom, when it scarce has sounded
One ;

And a code of laws to fashion, treating man but as a thing,
Which, as despots, they encompass with oppression's iron
ring—
Yes, a code that makes the freeman a machine and nothing
more,
And deprives the salt of savour, and forbids the mind to
soar ;

'Tis for this the Jesuits labour—yes ! 'tis this the darklings
plan,
Who an impious game are playing with the holy mind of
man:
But, ye brave and skilful miners, in your gloomy vaults be-
ware,
Lest your own dread mines, exploding, hurl you thund'ring
through the air."
