Mr. Eon-oil— It is not my object at
this lime to enter into any contention
with your correspondent ' ISI.' but merely
to make a few statements , which if facts
do not go to corroborate his facts ns lie
pleases to term them—but on the contra-
ry to show that some of his statements
cannot be authenticated. It appears (hat
in ihe year 1811, the Method ist Society
in Harwich , saw fit lo build ;i house for
the use of their own particular denomina-
tion exclusive, in the. which , to worship
God according to the Dictates of their
own consciences, having none to molest
or make them afraid—they according ly
proceeded and erected a house, ngreublc
to their form of discipline, and alter its
comp letion tin; pews were sold to defray
the expense of building the house, the
men, (chosen for thai purpose by the so-
ciety, known by the name of trustees) ob-
tained a conveyance of the property to
them an lrnstees of the Methodist Meet-
ing-house to hold the properly in trust
for the Methodist Episcopal Church in
America. It may not be umiss here to
observe that some of the men who nre
now the lending characters among the
reformers were ut that time Episcopal
Met hodists , after the strictest sort—that
t hey were, the following statement will
show : At the time of drawing the deed ,
they were so tenacious of their rights and
privileges , tha t they had tin additional
clause inserted in their deed, which was
as follows : mark it ! that no other de-
nomination should be allowed to expound
God's holy word therein.
The deed also stated that lite pulpit of
the house should be supp lied by the gen-
eral or annual conferences of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. About the year
1814 , some of the above mentioned gen-
tlemen snw fit to secede from the Metho-
dist E. Church and called themselves Re-
formed Methodists ; so you will observe
that they became*''unother denomination
and of course were cut off from the privi-
lege of expounding God's wqrd. in the
house above alluded to. But , sJf, these
gentlemen had the hardihood , soon after
their secession, to arise and say that this
house does not belong to the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church ,but that it belongs
to 1
'roprietor s as private property, and
not to the church and congregation , as
menlionod by your correspondent 1\. ;
but sir, 1 s;iy t ho house does actually be-
long to the Mnhodist K. Church) and
wlun 1 see such strange prevaricatio n
Ironi people who profess to bo Itolorm-
ers, it makes the very name of Hcformcrs
sound ( w l mn c In iuw «<:ir >i .
Your correspondent 'IN. ' tolls us that
Ihe Episcopal clergyman olliciatrs only
on snfli'raiHV in this' house— suiiVrance
Irom whom , \ask in the name of com-
mon sense ; from the reformers ? no, for
they would as soon in my opinion stiller
a Demon to preach in this meeting-house
as they would sutler an Episcopal Meth-
odist clergyman ; but it is utterly out of
their power to hel p themselves—tor thev ,
while (hey were E. Methodists , tied their
own hands in surd a manner that I fear
they will h;tvf: hard work to untie them.
But sir, his st;il< nioiH last noticed is
utter ly unworth y of notice on account of
its untruth , if you |/l>';ise—fo r (lie Episco-

a right to oflkiiite according to the |;uv s
of our land. I submit it to the public to
determine which of these communications
are fact3 ; but for the truth of this state-
ment I stand ready to prove it by incon-
testable evidence , and I challen ge proof
to the contrary. Obskrvkh.

committed withi n the last two or three
weeks has kepi JJ;)ys constantl y in mo-

tered a house at the upper end of .Sullivan
st reet , where they suspected that a pang
of villains resorted , and entered it with a
view to make a thorou gh search. In a
room occup ied by one ofthe inmates , they
found near ly all the phite recently stolen
from the British Consul , together with a
conside rable amount of counterfeit money,
keys , and all the utensils generall y used
by the profession. They secured one fej-
low who was recognised as an old offen-
der , discharged from the State Prison in
December last. Another person was af-
terwa rds arrested , who is known to have
been liberated from the Slate Prison a f vw
months ago by the pardonin g power. A
large quantity of stolen goods was found
in the house, which now remain unclai m-
ed in the Police Office, among which is
silver plate , nnd a large roll of new car -

Mail Robbery.— A boy, a stage driver ,
between Shelbyville and (Jreensburg h,
has been apprehende d and sent before
Jud ge Park , the United States Jud ge, on
a charge of robbing the mail. The cir-
cumstances are these;—The Treasurer of
the Slate mailed at Indianapolis a letter
conta ining a $100 note on the Hank of
the U. States, to a gentleman in Switzer-
land Co. and afer a delay of something
like two months ,the note was advertised
by the Treasurer ,and was soon traced to
the abovementioned stage driver , who had
passed it in Shelbyville under somewhat
suspicious circumstances. The gentle-
man to whom he passed it was supicious
that it was not genuine , and was particu -
lar in taking a descri ption of it , and ns
soon as he saw the advertisement of the
Treasurer , was convinced that it was the
note which had been lost. The boy had
made several contradicto ry statements as
to the manner of obtainin g it and has even
s;one so far as to imp licate a postmaster
between Shelbyvill e and Greensburg h :
but an examination of the matter has re-
sulted in the belief that the poor post-
master is innocent, and that the boy has
not yet made a true developement of all
the facts which are known to him. It is
supposed that he has accomp lices inas-
much as he is tumble to rend. No other
evidence of further robbery has yet come
to light.—[Cincinnati paper, Aug. 6.

Gentlemen—For the information of
those concerned either in property or feel-
ings, I have to apprise you , that yesterday
evening, Capt. Hilburn , of the bri g Alary ,
bound for some port on trie south side of
; Cuba , was stabbed by one of the Jiand s
(Hube rt Morris ,) with a kni/b such as saii-
lors carry at the waistband of their trow-
sers. The weapon and wound were very
well calculated to produce immediate
death , which was the result. The wound
\v;is inflicted under the ni pple of the left
breast , and must hnve reached the heart.
The boat of the brig hud put ashore at
tliis house with the pilot , Mr Way, (very
sick) and having returned to her the men
were ordered to hoist it up, when two of
them went below, disobedient to orders.-—
The captain is said to have followed, and
proceeded to some personal enforcement
of his command, when the fatal deed was
done.
I he mate , with some assistance from a
neighboring brig, went ashore to Lewis,
appealed to the civil authorities , and con-
sta ble Hicknian , with several armed citi-
zens , came to this station for further aid ;
six of the boatmen volunteered to row ofl
the whale boat No. l • Ca pt. iM'Kibbiu

The residents of a house in Sixth street ,

llifir lives on Friday morning last.—
They were roused from their slumber by
hearing the walla of the dwelling which
was a th ree story brick building, crack-
ling around them ,and made their escape
in nakedness and with the utmost preci pi-
tatkjn, onl y in the time to behold the en-
tire front , of the building, from the ground
to the roof, with a portion of the sides
thereof, fall with a tretnendeou s crash in-
to ruins. On the north side of the building
a cellar was "being "dug, which it is sup-
posed loosened the foundat ion of ihe fall-
en building and led to the catastrophe.
