RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT, MARCH 7. The Fecling in Rome—Our Religious Cor- respendence. Rome, Feb, 17, 186% The Correspondance de Rome, from which journal T extract the following article evidently anticipates many more such conversions, through the instru- mentality of Dr. Mauning, Archbishop of Westmin- ater:—“There 1s now golng on in the Protestant and cosmopolitan society collected in Rome a very re margable movement. All these English and Ameri; cans pass from their admiration and respect for the august person of Pius IX., to admiration and respect for the beauties of the Holy Church. To say the truth, @ man according to God, a bishop, urges them—it is Monsignor Manning. He preaches fre- on the jo, ani ple im with extremo avidity. He bas neither voice, ook, geature nor appearance, His health seems , his visage is austere and pale. Bat on look- ing at him, one cannot help recognizing His prevailing trait is strol lish appearan sinfiamnes it min ey cearo ish a) ces, such flames soul 3 Teel tuemselves warmed and inflamed, Hence numerous conversions, which resound gnd rejoice heaven and earth. In the attraction exercised by the holy Archbishop of Westminster there is a visible triumph of ce. He is not a fashionable preacher, desirous of popularity, attracting the curious, the indifferent and even enemies by the boldness of his language. No, among his auditors few yield to ae a come, the Catholics to be edilied, the Protestants to be persuaded. Progress of the Religious Feeling in the United States. Our reports for the past week sbow an aggregation of 8,000 and over accessions and conversions. Of these 3,681 are among the Methodists, 1,417 among the Baptists, United brethren 1,000, and 400 each among the Lutherans and Presbyterians. In New Boston, N. H., 70 converts are counted; 60 more among the Congregationalists of East Abington, Mass., though they are without a pastor; 40 at Ell yn, Conn. ; 40 among the students of the (Baptist) ititution in Ss 4, Coun. On Long Island there have been eneralerevivaia in Suffolk and Queen’s counties. pion meetings have been held, and penny exe town is more or less atfected by the revivals.

Y.—Bishop Mc- Quaide—Another Side of the Story. RocugsTeR, March 3, 1869. A few days ago the friends of Bishop McQuaide, of Rochester, were pained to see that he was having trouble in Auburn by the removal of a priest. Of course there was a second side to the question, and we get a glimmer of it now. The Rochester Union of February 27 (which, by the way, accidentally came into my hands) has an article’ on waat it esis “The other side of the Auburn church affair.” It seems from this ar- uucie that a card appears in the Auburn News, signed by twenty-lour of the “leading members of the Church of the Holy Family (tye church in which the didiulty arose), sustainmg tle action of the Lishop, and the movement to sustain the Lishop was becoming a general one, papers haye — left at five different piaces in Auburn for sigua- iukCS. ‘The HeRavp being read very generally in this com- munity by the large number of persons who know and respect aad love Bishop MeQuaide, may | ask that, witn your usual foirness, you allow this other tude of the disagreeable subject to be made known. ‘Those who kuow Bishop McQuaide feel confident | that in this conivoversy his good judgment and sound sense Will keep him sirictly tn the right.

Never before has there been so great, and it might be called an enthusiastic Chris- tian fervor among’ the people here, and all brought about through the zeal and ministerial eloquence of the Rev. Dr. Farle, of Massachusetts.

No startling battle has taken place during the past Week, nor is it likely there will be any for some time to come, although several are announced.

(From Bell's Life, Feb. 20.] DAN CRUTCHLBY AND TOM LANE, FOR £20, In order to teat the merits, long undecided, be- tween two Birmii m light weights, young Tom Lane (nephew of the renowned Tom Lane) and Dan Crutchiey, each weighing about nine stones, a fight was got up for twenty sovereigns, which came off at a weil kuown rendezvous not one hundred miles from the hardware village, on Monday, and trom the large and select company which attended, gave evi- dent proofs of the interest still taken in the art of seli-defence. An old pugilistio backer was quickly elected as referce, and at haif-past eight proceedings commenced, After a few minutes? ring both men Went away at a slogging pace, neither gaini any perceptible advantage until the third roun when Crutchiey Janded a terrific cross-counter on the jaw, flooring his men instanter, (First knock- down blow for Crutchicy.) In the rounds which fol- lowed Tam had a shade the best of it, and the bet- ting was in his favor until the sixteenth round, when Dan again sent his opponent to grass, and ‘Tom was within an ace of being out of time. He revived, however, and rattled away merrily, but in the twentieth round Crutchiey Planted @ rattler on the jaw, which sent Tom hastily to mother earth, and Crutchiey falling on him settied the affair, as Tom was not able to respond to the call of time. The battle lasted one hour and three minutes. Billiards. WILLIAM GOLDTHWAIT Vs. MELVIN FosTER.—A match “for drinks and cigars in” between William Goldthwait and Melvin Foster came off at the rooms of William Wainwright at Hooley’s Opera House, ‘Williamebarg, on Friday night. The game was seven hundred ‘and fifty points up, American four ball taroms, push shot barred. Play was commenced at about aquarter past nine o’clock by Goldthwait playing at Foster’s lead. He did not count. Then Fos- ter went to work, and getting the balls together scored sixty. Goldthwait followed, and by # series of beau- tiful and masterly strokes succeeded in keeping the balls close together and scored one hundred and sixty-eight before le broke up. Foster, on bis second innings, scored seven, Goldthwait also scored seven on his third innings, when he missed, leaving the balls ail right for Foster, who, taking advantage of the good luck scored seventy. The latter made a mis-cue, when the bails were all to- gether and in the most favorable position for Gold- thwait, who, however, only scored fourteen before he made @ miss-cne. Some of the spectators mate some sneering remarks about this play, stating thay that was the way lie José the match with McDevitt at Chicago, which seemed to make Goldthwait some- whut nervous. Foster on his fourth inning scored eleven. ‘Then Goidthwait missed an apparently easy shot, and Foster shored seventeen and made a miss- cue, leaving the balls rather ,aie, Goldthwait missed again. Foster now made thirty-two points, leaving the bails so that Goldthwatt couid not count, Foster then made three and missed. Goidthwait for the fourth time in succession did not count, and murmurs of disapprobatton were manifest among the crowd, and some: ‘tiought aloud” that Foster would win easily. Foster then made five and Gold- thwatt ten, leaving the balls so that his adversary could not count. Goldthwait now gathered tho balls together and made a run of 102, and seemed to be himseif again. Foster made a carom on the white and red and then missed, leaving the balla in od shape for Goldthwait. ‘The latter missed them his usual easy, ful and careful manner, and as no other player tn this country can do, and ran a score of 186, during which he received at times marked applause from the spectators. Foster then went in for his eleventh tnu and made a run of Fos ag l leaving the balls close together. ‘The twelfth inning of Goldthwait was another good one. He nursed the balls and ran eighty-seven. Foster then made a carom on the white and red, and tien pa ee Up. Goldthwalt was still more unfortunate; for he did not count atall, Foster then ran a score of twenzy-three. Goldthwait next caromed on ihe two reds and, when everything seemed right tor a long run, his ball kissed with another, which threw aj! his calculations astray. Foster then make twenty- seven, and Goldthwatt three, leaving the balls in good shape for Foster, who nursed them very pret- lly, and it was generally supposed would made a lengthy score, but, after counting thirty-four, he made @ mis-cue and lost his chances. This accident was all in Goidthwait’s favor, as the balis were close together, and the latter scored sixty-four points from them before he left off. Foster then went into his sixteenth inning and scored seven, leaving the balls spread out so that it was almost impossible to score. Goltdhwalt did not count. Foster made seven more, aud that was the play he had. Goldthwait had now only one hundred and six to make to close the game, his score being 645, while Foster's was 351. Goldthwait soon got the balls in a corner, Just as he wished, and he nursed them until he ran lus points, leaving the bails at that time all br aged in acorner, in such asitua- tion that he might have prolonged the run to no knowing how far. Goldthwait was hailed the win- ner by 401 points. He averaged in his eightecn innings forty-one and two-thirds. Foster's seveu- teen imnings averaged twenty and two-thirds. ‘The playmg throughout was highly interesting. It was the universal opinion of the billiardists present that there 1s not @ player in the country that can beat Goidtnwait at any game of billiards of moderate length, say 750 points, or even 1,000; but beyond that range his constitutional vigor is not equal to the task. His style of playing is fascinating, being easy, — and and qutet. Many of the professors of he art throughout the country would it by the adoption Goldthwaii’s manner around the table. Goldthwait has no preferences for billiard tabie makers. He can play well on the tables of any and ail, ‘The game lasted about one hour and fifteen minutes. ‘The following is the score:— INNINGS.

Wall street was greatly egitated to-day over the varying features of the news from Washington and London, both of which points are just now the foci of influences bearing upon the operations of the street, The alternating probabilities of Mr. Stew- art’s accession to the Treasury Secretaryship were immediately reflected in the price of gold, which went up and down according as the obstacle to his appointment loomed up, great or small. From Lon- don came discoureging reports of the result of the failure of the Public Credit bill, and the market for government bonds was very sensibly affected, The market was in a very unsettled condition, although stocks seemed to be eliminated from this general condition of things for reasons which will appear farther on, The market for governments opened with great activity and tirmuness, the issues of 1862 selling at 119%. From this point, however, there was a reac- tionary turn in prices, produced by heavy sales on the part of the foreign bankers who were in receipt of private news from'Europe to the effect that the “pocketing” and defeat of the Schenck bill in Wash- ington had been productive of @ weak feeling abroad, the refusal of the retirmg President to sign the bill being very unfavorably inter- preted, especially as the measure will have to go through the process of legislation de nove, The first, despatches in the morning put the London price at 83%{—an advance of only one quarter of one per cent as a result of Grant’s inaugu- rai and Cabinet selections, and iater telegrams an- nounced a deciine to 83 and then to 827%, The pres- sure to sell spent itself at the second board, and the market became dull through a disinclination on the part of holders to realize, higher prices, in their opin- ton, being likely to rule in London and Frankfort when the real situation of affairs is known and when it is understood there that the re-enactment of the bili will probably be one of the first measures of Congress in pursuance of the suggestion of the inaugural to pay the bonds in gold. The market closed with the following quotations, showing only a slight falling off in the “home” issues as compared with '62’s, indicating the faith which 1s felt in the gold promises of President Grant, despite the failure of the Schenck bill:—United States sixes, 1881, regis- tered, 11434 @ 115; do., coupon, 116% a 11634; do., 5-20's, registered, 1133¢ a 113%; do., coupon, 1862, 118 3¢ @ 118%; do., 1894, 11434 @ 11494; do., 1865, 11634 a 116%; do., new, 1865, 112% a 113; do., 1867, 1127, @ 113; do.,, 1868, 112% @ 113; do., 10-40°s, Tegis- tered, 104% a 1043¢; do., coupon, 10534 @ 1053¢; cur- rency bonds, 102 a 10234. Gold was very excited and fluctuated very often between the extremes of 150)4 and 13134. Sales on the street before the opening of the board were made at 130. But from this point there was a steady rise amd great consternation to 1813¢ at a quarter to eleven o'clock. Of the influences at work it is dificuit to speak in anything like terms of exact characterization, he first rise was doubtless founded upon the weaker feeling in bonds abroad, and the ascent of the premium was assisted by the Washington telegrams narrating the difficulties en- countered in the effort to confer the portfolio of the ‘Treasury upon Mr. Stewart. With the message of President Grant there was a yleiding in the premi- um, but the price closed up firm again when it was known that the Senate had made no progress to- ward qualifying him, or rather toward excepting his disqualifications. The firmness of the market was also stimulated by those who are ‘bullish’? in their tendency and are inclined to moot the opinion that Secretary Stewart, as a free trade man, would pursue a policy likely to reduce the customs receipts of the government and circumseribe very materially fhe gold balance tn the Treasury. ‘These were the promiuent influences stimulating the rise; but the market 13 so sensitive just now, after the agitation of the past few days, that itis easily sus- ceptible of movement. In such times operators be- come confused and oftentimes contradictory tn their own views. Thus those who were using the free trade policy of Mr. Stewart as an argu- ment in favor of a higher price for gold were forgetful of what was said yesterday with regara to his theories as a contractionist. The price also reacted from its highest point under heavy sales by the “beara,” who thought it a good oppor- tunity for the operation of their tactics, and by those who were “Jong” at the low prices of yesterday. The transactions of the day were of a most extensive character, the clearings at the Gold Bank exceeding the enormous sui of $130,000,000, The fuctuations durmg the hour between ten and eleven o'clock and the range of prices for the day are stown in the fol- lowing tabi ‘The scarcity of cash gold was much more appa- rent to-day, and rates became firmer for loans, at- tributable tp one direction to the largely oversold condition of the market, and in another to the easier state of the general money market. From five to one per cent was paid for carrying against Clearing House, aud two per cent aiterwara, The folowing is the report of the Gold Exchange Bank:— Gross clearings. 132, 260,000 Goid balances.. 3,160,528 Currency baiances....... 6,040, 726 The money market became easier as the day pro- gressed. At the beginning of business there was littie diminution of the activity which prevatied dur- ing the week. In the middle of the day loans on call were made at six and seven per cent on government securities and at seven on miscellaneous collaterals. ‘Toward the close of banking hours large sums were offered at the lower of these rates, while in some in- stances balances might be had at five. This change is attributable to the release of funds withdrawn tor the bear movement im the siock market begun early in the week. The final enactment of the bill abolishing the system of quarterly bank statements doubtless contributed to the easier fecling. he law forbidding the certification of checks ts going to produce au great deal of annoyance among the brokers. A few banks only have con- formed to ft as yet, the others having determined to awalt official notification instead of acting upon what so far Is only newspaper intel!igence. There is gleo & lack of official information regarding the change in the law as to the bank statements, and also with reference to that preventing the locking up of greenbacks, all Of which are laws only by newspaper report; The weekly statement of the banks as presented this afternoon ts not a favorable one, the item of loans being increased $700,900, against a decrease of $3,000,000 in specie and legal tenders, The decrease in specie is due to the large customs payments, and in legal tenders to the with- drawai of money by the country banks in prepara- tion for the expected demand for @ quarterly state- ment. The deposits have fallen off $2,600,000, and the discrepancy, as compared with specie and legal tenders, 1, doubtless, due to the return of fands withdrawn for speculative purposes. ‘Tue two last statements compare as follows:— Feb, 27.

To rae Eprror oF THE HERALD :— According to the latest telegrams from Havana or- ders had been tasued to put all Cuban prisoners to death. in Nuevitas the houses of the Cubans had been marked with @ black cross and a placard an- nouncing that the hour of vengeance had arrived. ‘The volunteers of the capital were demanding of the government the heads of hundreds of victims which fill the prisons, and through the whole island a sys- tem of barbvarity prevailed. Bearers of the fag of trace, like Agusto Arango; those who had accepted the amnesty, like the Domimicans, Abreu and Dei- gado; the dying, like the standard-bearer, Ardila— all those who fell into the power of the troops be- longing to the Spanish government were shot, their bodies mutilated, their limbs stuck on lances and carried through the streeta, accompanied by bands of music and shouts of “Viva Espaiia!’ It seems incredibie that such events could happen in the age im which we live and so to one of the most en- lightened of civilized countries; out when one con- siders what Spain has been and still ts not only does such conduct cease to appear strange, but such only could be expected to happen in Cuba under the rule of her usurpers, Of Saturn one could expect nothing better than that he should devour nis own oltspring. If there be one Cuban who does not un- ders the events which are now Passing let him) know that his days are numbel and that for tim and for his children there is n0 securliy excepting tat which eacit may tind in meeting iorce by force. Who has escaped from this despotic persecation? The indirferent? the neu- tral? oreven the naturalized Spaniard? Visit the forts and prisons, the adjacent countries to which the Inhahiiants throng in multitudes, and you will see that the hatred ts general against all natives of Cuba; that no explanation is listened to; that no proot of plicity in these political disturbances ts waited for; that the enemy 18 not atiacked, out the Cuban; that those Who are opposed to the revoiu- tion are in danger of their lives from their very cer- tificates of baptism, and that there 18 no way of escape open except by force of arms. The Cubans are Le the ned Romans thrown tnto the lions’ den. The Israclites had their cities of on the banks of tle sacred river and inthe isa of Canaon; bat we have no other shelter than that which we can dnd tn foreign lands or on the battie field. The biack cross is on our houses, and this 1s the signal that our hour has sounded; at imtdnight — a tas aceiroy ia angel, as it came to pass dwellings Ey tians, #0 it will be with the sons of Cuba, sit is tt possible that the Spaniards believe that in declaring war to the death they do not condemn themselves to the same fate?
