ROME, Feb. IL, 1859.
The Correspondence de Rome from which journal
extract the following article evidently anticipates
many more such conversions. through the instru-
mentality OF DR.. Manning Archbishop OF Westmin.
ster;-There Is now going on In the Protestant and
cosmopolitan society collected in Rome very re-
markable movement All these English and Ameri,
pass from their admiration and respect for the
august person Of Plus Ix to admiration and respect
for the beauties OF the Holy Church. To say the
truth, man according to God, bishop. urges
them-it is Monsignor Manning. He breaches ne
quently In the church OF Santa Maria d Monte Santo
him with extreme avidity. He has neither voice,
look, gesture nor appearance. Ills health seems
falling, his visage is austere and pale. But on look
ing at him. one cannot help recognizing his grand
aspect. His prevailing trait is stronger tnan eo-
quence, inspiration or enthusiasm-t is faitn: Ins
faith Is profound, and emits under the cold Eng
sh appearances, such flames that souls py degrees,
feel themselves warmed and tnfamed Hence
numerous conversions which resound and rejoice
heaven and earth. In the attraction exercised by
the holy Archbishop OF Westminster there Is visible
triumph Of grace. He is not fashionable preacher,
desrous OF popularity, attracting the curious,
the indifferent and even enemies by the Doldness OF
his language. No; among his auditors few Yield
to curiosty-all come the Catholics TO be edihed,
the Protestants to be persuaded.

The Feeling In Rochester, N. Y.-BisLop Me-
Quaide-Another Side of the Story.
ROCHESTER,, March 8, 1859.
A few days ago the friends OF Bishop McQuaide, of
Rochester, were panied to see that he was having
trouble in Auburn by the removal OF a priest. OF
course there was second side to the question: ana
we get glimmer OF 1t now.
The Rochester Union OF February 27 (which, by
the way accidentally came into my hands, has an
article on wnat 1t calls 'The other side OF the
Auburn church AFFAIR." Il seems from this ar
snea Sa Sard Of % the easne
members OF the Church OF the Holy Family ttAe
church in which the difiulty arose sustaining the
action OF the Bishop, and the movement to sustain
the Bishop was becoming general one, papers have
been left ut five different places in Auburn for sigma
lures.
The HERALD being read very generally In this CON-
munity by the large number OF persons who know
and respect and love Bishop McQualde, may ask
that, with yonr usual fairness you allow this other
ade OF the disagreeable subject to be made known.
Those who know Bishop McQuaide feel confident
that IN this controversy ms good Judgment and sound
sense Will keep him strictly In the right.
