The Voee delta Verita says of the Protestant missions in Borne that they are in a depressed condition, " aa we hare had frequent occasion to note. Even the so-called church of the Baptists in Rome," continues the Voce, " in Piazza San Lorenzo, onco frequented by a certain number of adepts, is now greatly in decline. And it is for this reason that Mr Wall, the head of the Baptists, is now, according to what is said, about to make arrangements with the well-known Booth, General of the Salvation Army, to yield up the locality to him. In case the arrangements succeed, Colonel Olibborene, husband of the female Marshal Booth, who was expelled from France and Switzerland for the bloody deeds of Geneva and Berne, will come to Borne. The Salvationists will occupy the said locality, and are desirous of extending their extravagant missions in the piazzas of Borne and in the surrounding country." Salvationist* who have been here have not " caught on " to tbe public taste.
