of that noble cause mol 10 relax in their efforts
and 10 rally 10 the support OF all our literary in

E" lion any Judcous plan for making the unver-

The FLOATING HoTELs.-We must
cease to speak of tina floating palaces on our
waters as steamboats,, for such boats as the
Oregon, the Empire, the Knickerbrocker
Niagara. Troy. aud the Hendrix Hudson, are
in fact floating ho,els. Some Of them pro-
vide beds for 500 persons without any sort OF
trouble. We have for some time past been
thinking they would soon take care Of pas
sengers al hotel, prices. which they are now
very near doing, that is, they would charge
nothing for the passage, and only charge for
the keeping just as the Hotels do. We learn
here that the Troy Company are building a
boat which is to take the place of the Colum.
bia, which is TO beat all the others in point of
size.
We were struck yesterday on examining
the advertisements by the very low prices
many of our boats have already fallen dc wn
to,-and we are told, that one Of them, the
Jas Madison, is making money by CARRYING
passengers TO Albany for only IL 10 cents.
Ofcourse the accommodation is according to
the price.

THE CATHOLIC REFORM IN GER
MANY,

The subject of the Catholic reform in Ger
many, is not only exciting interest in that
country. but Id making considerable noise
throughout Christendom. The following is
principally derived from the lettcrs Of Mr..
Bryant, the American Poet, who is travel
ing in Germany. He says, the case of the
movement, was the revival ofcertainjprect ices
and usages in the Catholic Church, which of
late years had been l,id aside. Such as
pilgrimages 10 see the Identical garment
which our Saviour wore at the time of the
Crucifxisn, and which the priests said had
power of working miracles. Against the re-
vival of the usages, one Ronse, q parish
priest of Silcsia in the p russian domiDions,
protested, and preached with such vehe-
mence and obstinacy that The Pope excom
municated him. But Ronge only snapped
his fingers at the Pope, and continued parish
priest sill, though his parishioners were all
consonant with him in opinion. There are
now 200 new Catholic Congregations in
Germany, and the number is said to be rap
idly increasing. Numerous pamphlets arc
published, and medallion likenesses of the
new reformer inundate the windows of the
shor-keepers in all the protestant cities. The
reiormer can find no difficulty in the work, if
he follows the path which the great Luther
has trod before him. The doctrine Of the
new Catholics rejects the authority Of the
Pope, the celibacy Of the Clergy, aurict lar
confession and the worship ofimages. The
progress of the reform is confined principally
to those parts of Germany in which the Cath
olics are in minority. Itshowed itself in
Austria, but Metternich, with his usual poll
cy, crushed il in an instant. Prussia looks on
with folded arms; while Saxony, following
the example OF the Catholics Of Scotland, in
III e times Of The Covenantors. forbids the
assembling of the converts in Protestant
churches. The result of this movement
Time alone can determine.
