Johannes Ronge, the Luther of the nineteenth century, as he is termed. _ Our readers are aware that the reformation which is, at present, going on with such force, in Germany, Austria, Poland, and other countries on the conti- nent of Europe, was originated by an humble Priest, named Johannes Ronge. [t commenced about a year ago, at the exhibition of a shirt, or tunic, which was in the possession of the Romish authori- ties, and which, they alleged, was worn by our Saviour. It was customary for the Catholics, at each exhibition of this shirt, to make pilgrimages from all parts of Europe, to see it, which they were al- lowed to do, on paying a small amount of money. In this way, there was a considerable revenue rais- ed by the Church authorities. At the last exhibi- tion, by Bishop Analdi, at Treves, this humble priest, Johannes Ronge, denounced the shirt as an imposition, and the exhibition of it a deception, by the Church, to raise money from the superstition of the people. The standard of revolt being thus raised, Ronge made many converts; and, after a M. RONGE, short time, thousands than took broader grour some of the prince particularly against and the confesional ; the Catholies should be independent oi The reforma- tion, as it is called, has progressed rapidly, and it is now spreading over Continental Europe. In every town where M. Ronge presents himself, thousands come forth to greet him. The people crown him with flowers; the municipal bodies present him with addresses; young men ask to be allowed to take the horses from his carriage; women invoke the blessings of heaven on his mission, and the cannon itself thunders his welcome. Such a movement as this—so widely reaching ; so all-embracing ; and that, at the voice of one man, the world has not geen since the days of Luther, and it is very appropriately styled the new German re- formation. It has extended even to the United States, and there is now a Catholic congregation in Cincinnati,who disavow any connection with the Pope, and maintain the same principles as are up- held by the reformed Catholics in Germany. came his adherents. He clared against olie Church ; priesthood, Arrivat or Winter, &c.—Our intelligence from the north, by this morning’s mails, is that the cold weather has finally set in, and that navigation on the canals is, by this time, closed. All those inter- ested in the movements of produce to market ought to be thankful for the continuance of mild weather to so late a period in the season. It enabled them to get into market a much larger sypply of bread- stutis, &c., than ever before in any one season. Annexed are the particulars cf the weather at various points :— [From the Albany papers of Nov. 23.] ‘The weather has very much changed within the last twenty-four hours, and at this present writing, the at- mosphere feels as though we were shortly to have winter in earnest. The thermometer stood to-day, at 2 P. M., at twenty six degrees, being four degrees below the freezing point. A snow storm is predicted to come off within the next forty-eight hours. The wind is blowing from the north-west, with occasional flurries of snow; and the forwarders, shippers, &c., on the docks, are bestirring themeelves with’ tho’ greatest activity. We notice that a heavy rain fell in New York yesterday morning, with a temperature like that of spring. Over 100 canal boats are laid up in'the basin, and double that number have yet to discharge their freights. The wind worked round to the northwest yesterday. The weather is clear and cold to-day.

The Herald contained a statement, a short time ago, with regard to the copper mining business of Lake Su- perior, which may create a wrong impression on those who are unacquainted with the facts, That article said that operations had ceased, and that those who had in. | vested money in the business would probably be losers by it. Itis true that there is not so much doing now as during the summer, and for the reason that navigation has closed for the season; and consequently men and materials cannot be sent up hereafter until spring; but there are a number of companies actively engaged, whose operations will be carried on vigorously, in de- veloping the resources of the mines during the winter. Among these are the Lake Superior and the Pittsburgh Companies, both of which have already sent down a large quantity of ore—the Mackinac and Lake Superior —the Esgle Harbor and the Norsh American.—The lo- cations of the above compa are inthe vicinity of Copper Harbor, except the Mackinac and Lake Supe- rior, which has about twenty miles of locations in the Porcupine Mountai and at Presque Isle and Back Rivers, in the immediate vicinity of the Lake, containing numerous veins of copper and silver. In addition to the above, thei other companies preparing to commence operations early in the spring, of which the New York and Michigan, the National, the North Western, the Baltimore, the Old Settle: Ontanagon, are prominent. the compan are of the most substantial character, with suffi means to carry on the business proper! persevering and energetic men at their he: The discovery of this valuable mineral new thing, though it is but afew yeurs t and richness have been known; itis but recently t United States has obtained the land from the Ind now that the difficulties in the way of working the veins are obviated, the time must soon arrive when we will be enabled to export copper, instead oj importing about two millions worth @ year. der these circumstanc: cannot perceive how money will be lost by investing in the copper business.

It finally came; but, alas! no current funds came with it. ‘he announcement that “no money would be paid until the 16th” fell like a pall on the high raised expectations of the poor canalers, “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,” saith the pro- verb, and the disappointed and disheartened contractors realized itstruth. They sought, as. special act of mer- cy, fifteen days’ more grace irom their tormenting cred- itors, which, as there was no remedy, was granted ; while the clamors of their ravenous workmen for “cur | rent funds,” already too long withheld, could be ap | peased only by distributing among them such husks of | the grain of life they hungered alter as was ufforded by a shin plaster factory, located somewhere in Wis- konsan Territory, known as the “ Wiskonsan Ma | rine and Fire insurance Company,” as a great favor to the distressed contractors, the engineers, clerks, &c., employed in the canal office, voluntarily offered to | furnish them out ef their own private funds, an amount | of this trash, equal to the amount due them.

In | this way things went en until the second appointed time | arrived, being the 16th of the month, but faithless and | treacherous as the former, it nas given no current fuuis to the waiting multitude of expectants that have been anxiously looking for them. Wiskonsan rags are still tendered to the now desperate croakers ior current fands, and the private resources of the above named en- gineers, clorks, &c., are by no means exhausted.

In order to turn “ an nonest penny” into their own pockets, they withhold from the contractors their just dues, and seek to drive them with the lash of | necessity, to receive worthless rags instead. Surely | men who will resort to such base means to put money in their purse, are unfit to have the management of a work of such importance aa the ‘ Michigan and | linois Canal.” Let the bondholders attend to this matter at once, or they are destined to sustain loss, where they fondly hoped to realize gain.
