EccLEsIAsTlcAL CONTROVERSY. The
Rev. DIR Minor, formerly member of
Congress from Pennsylvania, and now
pastor ofa congregation in the city of New
York, at present in England, attending
the anniversaries of the various relig-
ious associations of that country. On
one oc aston, to manifest the attachment of
the American Episcopalians to the liturgy
ofthe Church of England, he referred to
the prompt and unanimous refusal of
Convention ofthcir lay and clerical dele
gates to adopt several alterations in that
sublime formulary, proposed by the bishop
of the diocese of New York This
charge has drawn forth from the ven
cradle prelate labored reply in the pub
lie newspapers, but for what object we
cannot imagine, as he not only admits
the accusation to its fullest extent, but
earnesly urges the cxpedicncy and pro-
priety of the changes, which he had
cndeavored to affect. The chief argu-
ment upon which he sustains his views,
is that compliance with them would
render the Episcopal form of prayer
more congcnial with the popular taste
and wishes Troy Register.
Prosperity Of Sarannah.-The Gcor-

ed, and inquiries continue for others.
Rents have advanced in consequence
and arc now twenty five and fifty per cent
higher than three years since" The
finances of the city, arc represented
as in prosperous condition, and it is
affirmed by document of council, that
with the same attention to economy
which has been exercised for few
years past, every vestige of the public
debt will be swept away in seven years,
and no increase of taxes will be ncccs-
sary to effect it.
