The nit-tt'—l:):lI‘fI from Ilartford referred to,

Mr. Barry left the room. He had been It

not necessary when after an absence, however

So then, Mr. [Ba rry IHIII received a challenge

able consequence which, a moment after I had;
mentioned Mr. _Barry’s name to my brother in '
our interview, I had a vague presentimeiit of.
Lewis must. have immediately apprised Ii‘leniing_
of that which he had learned from me, and tlii-ii“,
going to the city had merely been a feint to’
cover anotlier intention. , _

As soon tliereforc as Louise. and I separated,
to ‘dress for dinner I hastened to Mr. Barry and:
promptly coinmunicated to him the interview‘;
with my brother which had taken place and the
cause of my inadvertently mentioning his nnnie.
‘Tliis,’ said I, ‘has doubtless been the origin of
your being cliiillenged, and upon me should rcstl
the consequences.’

‘It matters not--—you did right.’ .

‘It-was a breach of the promise of secrecy
which I had given you.

‘It can scarcely be called so. Your intention,
was conimendable You aremistaken however;

answer for; let him demand it rational expla-
nation and he shall have it; but to such a pre-
cipitate movement as this-—-challenging me to
fight it duel with liini---I shall pay no further
attention than inerely returning a refusal.’
Dinner was announced, and our further con-
versation interrupted. At the table Louisa ap-
peared in high spiri1:.s---liandsome as ever, and
even more lovely; and a painful tlirob agitated
my bosom as I contrasted the happiness of her
existence with my sister’s now blighted pros-
pects. Poor Ellen! it was with difficulty at
the moment that I restrained the tears wlticli
were ready to start from my eyes. I was
Ihoughtful--—sad~-—spoke but little; and doubt-
less appeared, as Louisa observed, "very dull.”

Bragaw, Esq. of I-Iartford, acknowledging the
gift ofa pocket-kiiife sent by the latter, Mr. Clay
says:

“I have been very desirous to learn the
cffect§iiponflAmerican manufactures‘ pro-
duced by the last Tariff. But Europe has
been so occupied with supplying herself
with necessary food, and our country has
been so benefitted by the high price which
all articles of subsistence have attained,‘
that tbe'compctition between Foreign and
Domestic manufactures Iias been much
less unequal than it otherwise would have
been. The struggle so far has been be-
tween well fed and ill fed operatives;

between capital diverted frotn the purchase
of the raw material to the purchase of
bread, and capital greatly augmented by
the sale of food; and between manufac-
turers working short time and full time.
\Vhether, when Europe is no longer starv-
ing and shall be again blessed by Provi-

_dence (as I hope it will be) with abundant
harvests, we shall be able to sustain a suc-
cessful competition remains to be seen.
I fervently hope that our manufactures
have struck such deep and strong root
that they will be able to stand up and
flourish against all adverse causes.” '

Pius (lie .N'z'nt/z.—If' England had direct-
ly nominatcd_'a Roman Pontiff, she could
not Iiave chosen a man more likely to be
in some degree popular, even with the
more resolute opponents of his creed, than
Pius the IXth. He is a reformer wit/tin
the Church and as its head, and his reforms
are extensive and real. I-Ie denounces
African Slavery, with the zeal of a Father
Matthew or a Wilberforce-—lie has set upl
representative institutions in the city of‘
the Caesars—he has commenced a Hail-
way, and laid Pipe for lighting up Rome
with gas. It is said that he has also or-,
dered all the Convents but five to be sup-
pressed, and the bui'dings to be rented at
a low rate to the poor; he turned over
the revenues of a vacant bishopric'in Su-
biace, the other "day, to the citizens, for
the improvementof the place and the sup-
port o_f”t«lie infirm and destitute; and is
continually removing existing evils. Lord
Brougham, Sir Robert Peel and Lord John
Russell, like OjConnell formeriy, are very

its clergy, as Britain now, does in Canada

Mn. Eni'roit.—-In your paper of June 9th,
tlicre is it communication from " Yaiikee,” who
hails from New York. ‘Among the items ofin-
tclligenco given by him, is one relative to the
doings of the New York Conference by the
Methodist E. Church. As this New York
“Yankee” has exercised so much of the pereg-
ative of “gm3.s~.s-” work on this subject, as is cal-
culated to lead your readers astray, we would

like the privilege of setting him right.

Speaking of the case of Rev. Mr. Green, he
says that "The Centcniiary Church in which
Mr. Green had been preaching _the past year,
iniinediat4‘ly sccedcd from the Conference and
called him as their Minister. [A portion ofthe
Church secede-d.] He accepted the call, and
last Sunday occupied the Pulpit, to the exclu-
sion oftlie Rev. Mr. Griffin, the preacher ap-
One other Church

the preachers appointed, and claiiu the right of
appointpig their own ministers.”

In the first place it was iicccssar_v,that Mr.
Green should secede from the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, (which he did do) in order to ac-
copt it can from a scceding Church. Now the
public will see that the Centennary Cthm-ch did
not, until after they had seceded, refuse to. ac.
cept of Mr. Griffin; and in this case it would
have been iuiproper for him, if he were dispos-
ed to do so, to have preached to u seceding
Church. It will be proper to remark here that
a litigation is now pending, relative to the Cen-_
tennary house of worship, arid the result will
show who is to occupy the building—whether
that portion that seceded, or that portion that;
adheres to the Methodist E. Church. That
any other Church, either in Brooklyn or New-
York, h:ivc refused their preacher, is all grntu-
itous, mid entirely untrue, and we have the“ in-
formation from the mouth of Dr. Peck, and a
number of other gentlemen of equal authority.
Neither do the Episcopal Methodists in N. Y.
“claim the. right of appointing their own minis-
tgrs.’ Also ‘Yankee's’ information ‘by an influen -
