| COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor: Permit me, through your widely
circulated little paper, to notice few facts,
which, if they do good, can certainly do no
harm and am rather inclined to think many
will be benefited by them, or rather will be saved
the trouble of soliciting, and the modification of
being denied, seat in the choir, or that portion
set apart for the choir, Of the Wesley Chapel of
this city.
Last Sabbath morning, like many others, re-
paired at an early hour to that house, in hope of
obtaining a seat, knowing that it would be crowd
ed, information having been given that several
ministers were to be ordained. On my arrival
at the church, found it, as anticipated, quite
full-nearly every seat in the main body of the
building crowded The galleries were in much the
same condition, with the exception of that portion
set apart for the choir, in which, at that time,
there were not more than one dozen of both
sexes. Seeing so large a space unoccuped. and
at the same time stranger in that church, was
about to seat myself, (not in 'front.' but in remote
corner,) when was very significantly told to de-
part--that this was the place for the singers
and little door, the only entrance on that side,
shut in my face. OF course | said nothing, but
crowded myself into sea. among very unruly
set of boys. But mark the sequel, and the inn
propriety, to lay aside the injustice of the act.
But few minutes had elapsed when saw the
very man who had ordered me out, and many
others beside me, culing from the crowd that
pressed up the stairs, his friends and acquan-
tances, suppose. Suffice it to say, that large
portion Of the church, capable of holding from
sixty to seventy PERSONS was filled, and had it
been by the choir alone, no reasonable person
could object to being prohibited; but one-thrd Of
the number ESQ was nformed) were those who
had nothing to do with it.
In conclusion, would ask, is this the spirit of
Methodism and is this the treatment we must
expect from the only denomination who boast of
free seats and no restriction! No: rather think
it is not generally the case-and, in fact, know
it is not; and believe, were the trustees ac-
quanted with such high-handed authority on the
part of the leader of the choir, any that belong
to it, they would arrange it otherwise, particularly
on such occasions. f. d. S.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

SUB-TREASURY.
Mr.. WELLER called up resolution of the
Committed of Ways and Means for printing $4,000
extra copies of Mr.. Dromgoole's report.
The previous question was moved, but no quo
rum voted.
Mr.. DROMGOOLE moved call Of the House,
and on this motion the yeas and nays were taken,
and the call was1refused. The $4,000, extras OF
this document were then ordered to be printed BY
l0S to 81.

which the majority have ordered within week /;
10000 of Van Buren's British tariff, and $4,000

time, propositions to print equal numbers of the
minority reports have been summarily thrown
out.
PUNCTUAL ATTENDANCE.
Mr.. G. DAVIS, Of KY, submitted the follow
ing, to be added to the standing rules of the
House:
Resolred That Immediately on the Speakers
taking the Chair, the Clerk shall call the roll, and
enter upon the journal the names of members
present, and also of those absent

THE BANKS.
Mr.. M. BROWN desired the adoption of re-
solution supplemental TO that passed yesterday,
so that the Secretary of the Treasury should be
required to report more correct information in re-
ference to the banks. Objections were made, and
the motion to suspend the rules was lost-so that
the majority will get another ex-parto report for
printing and circulation.
Mr.. WENTWORTH called up resolution
offered sometime since by HIM for printing 10000
extra copies of a report OH the Oregon from the
Committee on Territories. The printing was or
dered, making $4,000 extra ordered to-day.
THE MASSACHUSETTS RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. DROMGOOLE, Chairman Of the Select
Committee to whom was referred the resolutions
Of the Legislatures of Alabama and Virginia, re-
plying to those of Massachusetts on the subject
of amending the Constitution in reference to
slave representation, asked leave to report, and
the subject came Unexpectedly before the House.
Mr.. DROMGOOLE said the Committee had
made very brief report, concluding with two
resolutions they had carefully avoided reference
to any exciting topic, such as would be likely TO
give umbrage to anybody. The resolutions were
read.
The first, declares that the articles referred to
(which the Massachusetts resolutions propose
to changc), were adopted in spirit of mutual
compromise, and ought to be held sacred by
the friends of the Union. The second, that the
proposed change ought not to be recommended
by Congress, but ought to be promptly and de-
cidedly condemned
Mr.. DROMGOOLE, as soon as the resolu-
tons were read, moved the previous question.
Mr.. ADAMS rose.
The SPEAKER said the question was not
debateable.

bate, but rose TO ask the gentleman from Vir-
