We insert from the T'imes the following short conversation which took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of making upon it some briet observations. It appears to us pregnant with instruction for all whose mind» have not been sealed up by bigotry, concerning the course of policy on commercial! legislation which England has lately pursued: wexcia. Treat 7 “Da Bownrno begged now to put to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majeaty’s Government the question of Which he had given netice, whether they had any official knowledge of a treaty between the United States of America and the German Zollverein, for the mutual admission of articles at lower rates than if import- ed from Great Britain or other countries. He had been informed that a treaty had beeu signed between the re resentatives of the German Commercial Union and the Minister of the United States, which was founded upon the principle of preferential duties between those two countries. He unveratood that in consequence of this en- gugement the German States would permit the importa tion of cotton wool, and other articles, trom the United States, free of duty, and reciprocal advantages would be granted by the United States to imports from the States of the German Commercial Union. A great advantage would, therefore, be given to German over British many- factures; and he begged to inquire whether the Right Hon. Baronet was cognizant of tne fact he had mentioned which would exercise a most prejudicial effect upon the interests of British industry? . id the statement ofthe honorable mem- ly correct. A treaty hud been signed between Prussia, acting on the part of the Zollverein, and the representative of the United States, nid not that certain duties should be reduced. He would not (0! low the example of the honorable member, and say that a system of ‘ preferential’ duties had been established—for he did not wish to sanction a new word (alaugh) indeed, he would take the opportunity of entering « protest against its adoption. He believed the substance of thi treaty had been fairly represented by the honorable ge: tleman; but he (Sir R. Peel) hegged to say that that treaty not yet been ratified. Ho believe that, in order to give it effect, it nad yet to receive the sanction of the Ex- ecutive Government of the United States, and of two- thirds of the Senate. Mr. Lazovcueng said, he believed that, in pursuance of the terms of the treaties between the United States and this country, the United States could not admit the pro- ductions of the Germanic League, or indeed of any cou, try, into their dominions on more advantageous terms than those on whieh the productions or manufactures of this country were admitted. If he were correct in this opinion, mduntion of duties made by the United States in tavor of Pruasian or German manufactures must be equally ad. vantageous to the manufactures of this country. Sir R, Pex: said, the Government had already taken this question into their consideration ; but as the treaty tp which the hon. member for Bolton (Dr. Bowring,) had ad- verted was not yet ratified, perhaps it would be better fo him not to enter into details, but 10 content himself wit! stating, that the matter had not escaped attention. There was a treaty in existence between this country and tht United States, by which it wae stupulated that England should, in matters of trade, be put upon the same footing as the most favored nation. As honorable gentlemen were probably aware, there were two kinds of commercial trea- ties. Under one clans of treaties it was by one na- tion that another should be put on the footing of the most favored nations, without apy equivalent being given; and by another description of treaties it was prov: that a country should be placed on the footing of the most favoi nations, provided she mada certain concessions. It was a treaty of the former kind which existed betweeh this country and the United States, i _ We take this opoortanIty to repeat what we said in the most emphatic terms we could command, when the new Tariff was under consideration, in the year 1842, viz. ‘That it was sanguine fully, and sothing better, which induced persons to expect that any relaxation of commercial restrictions by england would seduce toreign countries into cor responding concessions. ‘The truth of this opinion 13 rpeedily illustrated by the six unfriendly and re- sistive tarifis of other States, which were promul- gated in the course of that year. _ : We believe the animating principle which has been at work to suggest and form the compact be- tween Prussia and the United States, to which the foregoing conversation relates, to be a desire to, dp Bueshing With efile Uperuse vv ene CLUS, Oy England ; and that this was the strongest motive, next to that of promoting the individual interest of each of those respective states. Jt is not a little curious to observe tuat Dr. Bowring, who was paitl tor collecting materials for those delightful day- dreams of reciprocal intercourse between England and Germany with which he beguiled the public, should be the person who elicits the information which stamps the value of such illusions. With Prussia we believe there is no such treaty as would compel her to udmit English goods on the footing of the most favored nations ; but with the United States there is ; and therefore we imagine the treaty just concluded between thege two states may never be raufied th the legislature of the latter. Sir R. Peel, it will be observed, cautiously avoided to come in to the flattering speculation of Mr. Labou- ere, Which was, that the United States having agreed to admit the manufactures of Germany at u iower scale of duties, would, by virtue of the treaty she has subsising with Englund, be compelled to admit British goods on the same terms as German goods. The United States will do no such thing, tnless she be induced to do so at a cost or sacrifice which England is not likely to make. But this sew treaty between our most formidable competi- tors in manufactures may, notwithstanding, lead to ~mbarrassing negotiations between England and the United States. Suppose the new Prussian treaty to be ratified by the Congress of the United States, England, in hat case, would forthwith demand of her to admit British goods on the same terms as German goods. To this the Republican Statesman would demur, ind would probably plead the Ashburton treaty as t precedent which would exonerate them for re- fusing compliance. By the third clause of that treaty England stipulates ‘that all the produce of he forest in loge, lumber, timber, boards, staves, or shingles, or of agriculture, not being manufac- ‘ured, gown on any of those parts of the State of Maine watered by the River St. John or by its tri- vutaries, of which fact reasonable evidence shall, f required, be produced, shall have free access into and through the said river and its said tributaries, having their source within the State of Maine, to and from the sea-port at the mouth of the said River St. .'ohn’s, and to and round the falls of the said river, either by boats, rafts, or other convey- ince; that when within the Province of New Bruns- wick, the said produce shall be dealt with as if it were the produce of the said Province.” By this clause it will be said Lord Ashburton has conceded to the United States the right to call upon Kngland to receive, by virtue of the previously aubsisting treaty of commerce, the agricultural produce of every section of the United States into the province 4 New Brunswick; and ‘that when within the province of New Brunswick the said produce shall be dealt with as if it were the produce of the said province.” That is, according to the plain import of the words, it may be sent to England, and there claim to be entered for consumption as the produce of New Brunswick at the colonial rate of duties. There seems no meaning in the provision to have the produce of any country admitted on the footing of the most favored nation, if, after having stipulated to receive the produce ot one section of a country, the whole of that country cannot demand the same privilege. If this case of admission to the produce of the State of Maine were given tor special purposes, and were intended to be an exception to the rule which governs the operation of such a treaty as we have with the Uni- ted States, the exception should have been ex- pressly stated as such in the Ashburton Treaty,that no doubt might thereafter arise, and no disputation ve provoked on the ground of that treaty. Seeing what dexterous hands the Republican Statestnen are at raising long diplomatic disputes on omissions or misinterpretation of words, it will be our good fortune if England be not drawn into embarrassing negociations on this point; and we can imagine nothing more likely to produce them than such a treaty as has been concluded between Prussia and the United States. There canbe no doubt, from the guarded man- ner with which Sir R. Peel treated Mr. Labou- chere’s suggestion,that the British Government per- ceives and gravely appreciates these prospectively embarrassing circumstances. And the sooner our Statesmen adopt the disagreeable conclusion, that foreign countries desirous of fostering their manu- tacturing interests, will allow no opportunity to es- cape of forming compacts which will operate to the exclusion of England, the better will they be prepared to deal with questions affecting the inter- ests of their own country. Wehave before said that envy and jealousy of England isa growing feeling, which has acquired almost the impulsive force of pas- ston, among the people of France, the United States, and the Germanic League ; and, however sagacious nay be the statesmen who rule their destinies, they cannot safely go counter to the national will. This untoward and perplexing feature of the case seems to us to have been wholly disregerded by Mr. Hus. kison, Sir R. Peel, Lord Ripon, and Mr. Glad- stone, or they never would have delivered sanguine speeches anticipating reciprocal concessions and common advantages to result from a course of li- beral commercial policy. ; The realy concluded at Berlin with the United States, plainly indicates a desire in the two Govern- ments to o,pose the manufacturing interests of England ; how is this design to be counteracted ? A reduction in the corn-duties is at present to be regarded as wholly out of the consiceration; the timber duty is not so, but that afle sts only in a very trifling degree the cost of producing British goods. The duty on raw materiale Hen up into manu- factured products affects them essentially, and bears upon our foreign export trade with a more onerous an se when prices are low, as they are now, and as they are likely to remain, In no way so directly and etiectually can the designs of Prus- sia and the United Statesagainst British commerce be counteracted, as by a remission of the duties on cotton and imported wool, and this is what we ex pect to see us one of the first concessions whic! the Government will make from their present posi- tion of financial strength. Wheever knows the bias of the Premier’s mind and has reflected on the course of his policy, will think it much more likely that his views should take this direction than the opposite, notwithstanding the threatening intima- tion conveyed in Lord Aberdeen’s instruction. Nothing would give more satisfaction to our manu- facturers or conduce more to the permanent popu- larity of Ministers among merchants, than a remis- sion of the duty on the raw material of our staple trades. We are sirs, obediently, H B.& Co. Reprat Association, April 24, 1844.— The Libe- rator, accompanied by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M. P. and Mr. John O’Connell, M. P. entered the Hall at half-past one o’clock, and was received with enthusiastic acclamations. On the motion of Mr. Maurice O’Connell, the chair was taken by Nicholas Maher, Esq., M. P. for Tipperary. Mr. O'Connext acknowledged the receipt of £1 from Mr. Anthony Burke, of Westport, who wrote to say that he “isa Protestant, and has been brought up in strong prejudice against Mr. O'Connell.” As he was then in possession of the chair, he would take occasion to that he had seen with a great deal of disgust in the excel- lent weekly paper, of waich his friend sir. Staunton was che proprietor, the Weekly Regteter, the republication a1 a letter irom Cincinnati, in the State of Ohio, which was designed as an argument in favor of slavery and @ vindica- tion of the infamous criminality of tuose who imugined they were justified in trafticing in the fleah and blood of their fellow.creatures, Mr. Staunton, when he consented to the insertion of that letter in a recent number of his newspoper, Was not aware that it had been published be- fore, und that his (Mr. O’Connell’s) reply to it had alab been given to the public (hear, hear) ; but somebod. most probably some one in America who felt an inte! <n the maintainance of the odious “institution,” as it was called, of slavery—had falsely given him to understand that the association had suppressed the letter, and upon this representation having been wade to him, Mr. Staunton who wished to act an honorable part, imagined that he would be doing a very manly thing by publishipg in his columns a document which waa disagreeable to their feel- ings, and from which he supposed that they had for that reasen shrunk. The letter had also been republished in the Pilot, a paper which would be incapable of inserting anything unfavorable to the cause of Jiberty, unless the editor was of opinion that the doi.g so wae 2 matter ot conscience in which a principle was invo! (hear, hear.) But the fact was this, that the proprietora had been. grossly deceived if they’ had been given to under- stand that the letter from Cincinnati had ever been sup- pressed. Such was not the case; for the association would remember that it had received an extensive circu- lation (hear, hear.) It was adisgrucetul and an infamous composition that letter from Cincinnati, and he de- nounced it as such (hear, hear.) In the State of Ohio, of which Cincinnati was the capital, slavery did not exist at all. It was no institution there; and yet there, where no man could be a slave, three men had been found so base, so degenerate, so utterly lost to all sense of decency and propriety, a3 to volunteer a de- fence of that hateful system, und to put themselves gratui- tously forward as the champions of slavery! ‘Those three men Calle’ themselves Irishmen! Shame upon them, they had nota drop of genuine Irish blood in their polluted veins. One of them, indeed, delighted in the un-Sazon ap- pellation of Gallagher. How he wished to be in America, that he might rub a wet finger across the miscreant’s name, and substitude some appropriate title indicative of the na ture ofthe man. Pedrillo was the name of a blood-hound, which was said to have slaughtered eight-and fort, In- diane in the island of Cuba in the course of a single day ; and whut more appropriate appellation than Pedrilio could Rabat: invented for the man who now signed himselt Gallagher, and hud the audacity to set hinselt forward as tain Booth ‘a @ rights of the slave holder the ce uBH Gooch MUBRE TS rights Of the slave hold attempted to jrstify the continuance of the system by guing that its discontinuance would be injurious to the 1oterests of one hundred thousand persons, who now tral- ficed in slaves; but which were of greater value—the worldly interests of one hundred thousand men, who hux tered in the flesh and blood of their telt w-creatures, or the lives and liberties, the happiness, temporal, aud it might be everlasting also, of six millions of human beings—the children of the Eternal Being, formed after His image, and redeemed with the blood ut His Son (hear, hear)? He (Mr. O'Connell) blushed to think he belonged to the same country with Pedriilo Gallagher. He hoped the ueme would go beyond the Atlantic, and that it would be applied to every Irisbman who could so far forget what he owed to the cause of religion and of common humanity as to take part with the Negro floggers, and to countenance such a system as brought 1o the gallows a young man named Browne, the head and front ot whose offending consisted in his having ventured to assist a female in her escape from very. Browne had been regularly sentenced to lose ite on the gallows, but he had been rescue from that fate upon the ignominious condition of undergeing # punishment more hateful than death—a public whipping at the hands of the common hangmen—(hear, hear.) The monster who sat in judgment on him during the trial, and sentenced him to veath, was one who bore the noble nume of O'Neall Oh! he ought to be deprived of that gloriou- name, and they ought to send over to New Orleans with a request thet O’Pedrillo the Second, and not O’Neall, should henceferward be the style and appellation of the hideous miscreant. (Chéera) Anything more disgust ing than his charge in pronouncing sentence of death on young Browne never fell from the lips of mi It full of the affectation of religious sentiment. E: sen- tence contained some allusion to Holy Writ—texts from the law of the Restease and all.-merciful God were ‘44 e ously quo:ed and wrested with a vicious ingenuity to tl infainous purpose of the speaker ; and then came an im- mensity of spiritual advice, all ending in sentencing aman to the death of the gallows for having assisted a woman to encape from slay (Hear, and crios of shame.) This O'Neal had published a letter in the newspapers, whic was, i! possible, more disgusting than his rentence. ‘The letter showed him to be aman of the coarsest mind, and utterly devok of education. | What qualifications he pos seraed for the office of judge, he (Mr. O'Connell) could not understand, unless, indeed, inhumanity and ignorance sidered ax qualifications. But enough of him. Mr. O'Connell announced the amount of Repeal rent re- ceived since the last day of meeting (Friday,) a3 two hundred and eighty-nine pounds thirteen shillings and two pence. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Charl janconi"was then called to the chair, and thanks having been voted to Mr. Maher, the association adjourned. Tur Rereat. Assoctation—Svurtoms oF a Brrak-Up.—Yesterday’s proceedings at the Con- ciliation Hall were in some respects of the usual stamp, and, theretore, dull, monotonous and unin- teresting ; inothers, however, they must be regard- ed'by such as take the trouble of noting those “shadows” which are generally found to precede “ coming events,” as significant in the extreme. To inform our readers that money had been re- ceived from various localities, both at home and abroad—the portion contributed by the Transatlan- tic enemies of Great Britain being in the present instance £360, far more than a moity of the sum total—would be only to tell them what they must have been already prepared for. So likewise it would be with reference to the announcement,that the priests in scores have renewed their vows of al- legiance to their convieted agent. Mr. O'Neill, who, we may be permitted to remark en parenthese, i8' a gentleman of honor and intelligence would we could add he possessed an average modicum of common senee-—has Intely, ax our readers may perhaps have remarked, absented himself from the meetings at the ciliation Hall. His last attendance there, if we except yesterday, was, if we mistake not, w chair immediat after O'Con neli's conviction in the Conrt of Queen's Bench. His reason for this somewhat extraordinary reserve we shall not now venture to conjecture. Whether it was founded in disgust at the management of affairs behind the crctain, icion of lurking treason in the committee camp, it is no business of ours to inquire. Certain it ie, however, that there was something in the case that puz- zled the nninitiated,and sadly stood in need of explanation ‘The mystery, we should Le disposed to think, is now clearly unveiled, Its solution may be found in the notice of motion given O'Neill yesterday. Th distinctly implies that some of O'Connell's agents in the committee up stairs have been secretly at work, with the concurrence, if not by the direct comms of the patri- otic Daniel, with a view to dissolve the association and thereby lay the groundwork of an appeal for pardon to the mercy of the government. To prevent this act of treason to the Irish people—God help the “ people” they have been but toe often betrayed by patriots of the O'Connell school ~Mr. O'Neill’s motion went £0 far as to make it imperative upon the sect name and words of any man who design against the national cause. Tonnace.—A parliamenta: the motion of Mr. Wawn, return, ordered upon shows that during the year 1843 there were built and registered, in the ports of the United Kingdom, 653 sailing vessels, of 77,034 tons, and 45 steamera, of 6,063 tons— making the total of vessels 693, and of tonnage 83,007. Within the same period there have been sold, wrecked, or broken up 778% vessels, or 132,- 722 tons; so that the amount of tonnage was de- creased during the year 19,685 tons, or 50 ships, of about 620 tons each Imprisonment ror Denr.—Lord Cottenham last night introduced a bill for the abolition, in all cases, of imprisonment for debt, leaving the fraud: ulently incurring of debt, or the fmaudufently with holding payment of a just debt which the party is able to pay, to be dealt with criminally, as a sab- ; stantive offence. The bill met the unanimous ap- probation of the house, and we trust will soon be the law of the land.—Standard, May 1.

Granp Banqver at THK Frencn Emuassy.—On Wednesday evening a magnificent banquet was given by his ycellency Count de St. Aulaire in honor of the fét--day of the King of the French, "Phe entertainmeat was to a circle of upwards of 40 distinguished personages, and was served up in & princely style of splendor. All the members of the diplomatic body resident in this tes with one er two exceptions, were present; and the whole at the Cabinet ministers, and several of our leading nobles, were invited to paicinete, in the hospitali- ty of the noble count. It was a full-dress party, all appearing en uniforme.

Granp Batt at tur Frencn Exuassy.—The Countess de St. Aulaire, the lady of his Excellency the French Ambassador, gave a grand ball at Man- chester House, at which most of the leading nobilj- ty in town were present. Sir Robert Peel, Vis- count Palmerston, Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Marquis of Normanby, and many of the leading men of the present and late administrations were among those congregated in the salons of the coun- tess. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar honoredg the countess by their company, and, in al probability several members of the ne al Family would have graced the festive scene nad tt not been for the Queen Dowager an Duchess of Gloucester being contined by illness. It was half-past 10 when the carriages began to arrive, and it was nearly one betore they ceased to sét down visitors. More than 600 personages of die- tinction were present at the /éte.

Fraser, daughter of Lord Lovat; Hon. Miss A. Browne, Miss Rice Trevor, Miss A. Barker, Miss Dymoke, &e. The mania tor the dance “ La Polka,” has at length extended to Almack’s. It hus, for a lengthen edseries of years, been the general practice at these assembli:s to dance a quadnile and then a waltz, alternately ; but after the waltz had terminated, « something evidently had seized the aristocratic ab- sembly which was manivest by the buzz circulated At last the object was, beyond all douot, ascertain- ed, for a command was conveyed to Tolbecque, ar leader of the ochestra,for La Polka. The skilful ar tist waived his baton shortly afterwards, and the dance commenced, and for a time satisfaction was given. However, another request was issued, and the dance was repeated, Towerds the close of the ball there was another innovation on the establish- ed rule—a waliz was played, and, no doubt, from the excellent precision of the corps d> musique, the movementjwas so happily maintained that it was re- peated twice, so that three waltzes were danced in succession, terminating a most agreeable ball. The Marchionese of Londonderry was the enly lady patroness at the ball. Musteal and Theatrical.

Signor Camille Sivori gave a concert yesterday, in the Hahover snare Rooms. He and M. Ernst certainly divide the palm between them as being the greatest violinists of the age. Respecting their comparative merits, the connoisseurs are divided. Ernst, we think, has a more voluminous tone, and greater energy, than his rival ; who, however, may be considered as having somewhat the advantage in perfect truth of intomation, and exquisite delica- cy of execution. Yesterday he performed Paaa- ninr’s celebrated Preghiera, (rom, Mosé, entirely on the fourth string ; and the “Carnival de Venise.” He never played more charmingly, and was raptu- rously received, Save or Mapame Vestnis’s TaeatricaL Warp- roe —Last week, a sale by auction was com- menced and completed at the auction rooms, Great Marlborough street, London, of a part of the thea- trical wardrobe of Madame Vestris and Mr. Mat- thews. The lots consisted of a large aesortment of very elegant dresses, shawls, X&ec., which were worn by that eminent actress in some of her most celebrated characters. ‘Chere was a very short no- tice of the sale, the effect of which was, there were but a few of the theatrical corps present.— There were sixty-five lots, amongst which were thirty-six dresses and fifteen shawls, besides scarfs, riding-habits, gowns, &c., an embroidered Cash- mere cloak, a black velvet ditto, an Indian satin ditto. Twelve rauslin and cotton dresses sold for £2; « black satin dress and ditto embroidered shawl for £2 2s. ; an embroidered Cashmere cloak and two slips for 19s. ; a very elegant velvet dress, richly trimmed, for £2; a piece of net muslin and lace, and a blond skirt, which was stated to be worth about £10, for £1 5s. ; and various others at an average loss. A superfine court dress cost and a pair of breeches fetched only 18s. ; the auctioneer said the coat was worth £5, the first bidding for it was 7s. The property produced £76, which, it war stated, was not a fifth partof the value. The prin- cipal buyers were of the Hebrew persuasion. Tur Frexcu Prays.—The Polka, which has already become the favorite dance at the theatres, and will we suppose, find its way (as it has done in Paris,) into the ball rooms, has been introduced in a very pleasant way in the St. James’ theatre.

The following beautiful porensee are gems: ‘* Unnoticed and. unsuspected by its poasessor, the mind, even in its darkest state, is still languishing for light, still putting forth new shoots, even though it may not discern the objects to which it may et attach itself.” There are pro fusely scattered through the work equally beauuful passages. Edith is the heroine—the name has ro- mance about it. ‘* The autumn was now far ad- vanced; and even amid the pomp of groves and garniture of fields, Edith sighed as she thought of that glorious effulgence which, at this season more ely would be lighting up her own mountain land ! f these setting scenes—not, as in softer climes, sinking gently and imperceptibly to rest, but retiring in the full majesty of a splendid retinue of gorgeous clouds, and even with their last rays imparting new beauty to the purple mountain, the green wave, and the gray rock, And, oh! what thick coming fancies—what visions of even earthly joy were now associated in her mind, with the thoughts of her Highland home.” We commend ** Destiny ” as one of the best romances of the day. x Hign.anp’s or Ermorta,” part third, has been received, and contains some excellent articles, descriptive of the scenery, manners and customs ot the natives, during @ residence of eighteen months at the Christian Court of Shoa.

The sketch in relation to the Presidential contest between Jackson and Quincy Adains, is a morceau in its way. The writer in de- scribing one of those political demonstrations whict even reaches to the niggers in the back woods, gives agraphic sketch of the movement. “They have formed two divisions, one with blue and gold helmets of paper and banners of the same colow and material, each division containing ten banners, olaced as true to 4 straight line ns the ranks of ou militia, They might be considered as two reg) ments in marching order, all but their colour, each: consiating of thirty men, including ten standard bearers, fifteen officers, three privates, and two musicians. ‘The latter are Tiber and ccus—T ber with his fiddle—Graccus with histnangle.

A newspaper containing Mr. Otis’ statement of the circumstances connected with. the recent duel between Pierce Butler, t sq., and James Schott, Jr Hsq., has just been placed in my hands. In justice to my princips! and to mypelts I feel called upon to tis narrative ae shall have the effect of removing erroneous impressions that may have been occasioned by it Mr. Otis appears to consider it singular that the meeting was deferred by the challenged party for eight days after the message passed. The chal- lenge was handed to me on Monday, the 8th pril; on Tuesday morning, Mr. Butler and my- self left Philadelphia, and reached Washington at 11 o’clock ou Wednesday. The intervening four days were not more than suffic friend to make the requsite arran fairs before engaging in a serious contest, and to enable me to obtain the attendance of a surgeon, as well asto procure the services of unother friend, ashad been agreed upon, as Witness of the due! 1 certainly was not aware that any great haste was either expected or required on my part, as the other party had exhibited no extraordinary impatience in demanding satisfaction, but had’ permitted a whole month to pass, after rece'ving ‘the alleged injury, before even sending the challenge. Mr. Ous considers the opportunity oflered for pre- paration and practice, during the shert period after our arrival in Washington which intervened before the duel, as likely to have given Mr. Butler great! the advantage ; but while he reproaches us with an advantage in the delay of four days, he totally forgets the tour weeks of preparation which Mr. Schott indulged himself in betore sending the hos- tile message ; and Mr. Otis expresses great surprise at my proposition to place the parties back to back, which would require them to wheel and fire; he pronounces it ‘‘a very uncommon mode of war- fare ;* and to streegthen his impression, he cites the opinion of four unnamed gentlemen, which, he is satistied, would be regarded as ve in any court of honor. With all due deterence to such high authority, Tthirk differently; and my own conviction on the subject was confirmed by the re- plies of all the friends of whom I made the imqniry ; and I submit the question without hesitation, to the decision of that portion of the community, which professes to have any acquaintance with the etiquette and customs lua regulate duels,whether of its being unusual for the second nged party to requre the combatants to wheel and fire, the second of the challenger would be considered justifiable in withdrawing him from the contest. F Mr. Ous further observes that his objections on this point were more strenuous “because cf an un- fortunate physical disability in his principal.” Now let it be remembered that on the Saturday evening when the terms of meeting were submitted to him he exhibited surprise, and as I think dissatisfaction, with the first article ; but nothing was then said of any physical disability on Mr. Schott’s part. I attributed his reluctance to accede to it, to a feel- ing of disappointment on finding that the parties would be required to fight in a manner a little varied from that in which his friend had pro- bably become a proficient by the previous month's practice. On Sunday, about twelve o'clock, a doctor’s note, relating “to the anterior and cen- tral portion of the sole of the right foot,” was laid before me ; this, | must confess, did not produce the antu- cipated effect in inducing me to consent to the proposed change in the position of the parties. ‘To wheel and fire is so simple and easy a movement, that any one who can stand up may pertorin it without the least difficulty ; it requires only that the right foot should be moved lightly behind the ‘left, being in fact nothing more than a half wheel, and performed by any one, with the greatest 1u- cility, in less than five minutes practice ; those who doubt havo but to make the experiment, and they will soon be convinced that Lam right. | must also observe that, after his arrival onthe ground, Mr. Schott continued to stand for some minutes, and, ax I thought, without any appar ent inconvenience to himself, althongh one of ou ge cushions was twice offered to him as a seat, but deeli Mr. Otis proceeds to complin of a want of “chivalry and generosity” in my not consenting to place Mr. Butle m such @ manner us, in hi mn, Mr, Schott’ nience required. | N ig tomy ject, enough of chivalry and generovity ‘ed by my friend when he insisted on my accepting, i behalf, a chullenge {rom a mua whom he had never in eny way wiuuged or insulted. As the challenged perty, he had certain rights sanctioned by custom, of which I was determined he should not be deprived ; and as his second, Uhad assumed duties trom the faithful performance of which I was resolved nothing should make me swerve. It seems also @ matter of astonishment to Mr. Otis, thet I would not refer article ist, to the decision of umpires ; now Ido really think it would have been extreme folly and weakness on my part to have consented to submit as « question to be decided by others, that which I regarded aus a right already settled 4 my favor. He next adverts to what he now calls. ayroposition of Mr, Schott, to place the parties face to face ut the distance of from one to six paces.

My reply is, that from the moment of our arri- val there, we both were actively engage! in muking the ecensary preparations, mamely, in selecting two «quel je positions for the in measuring the dis- ing the pistols reading the articles of cambat, and explaining to the principals the mode in which the word would be given.

If bis pis- tol went off before he intended it should, it was his own fault.“ Mr. Schott then received,” os Mr. Otis informs ux, “with full front presented the fire of his adversary,” of course he muat have wheeled before Mr. Butler fired, to have done no. I censider the 7 ad on the ground by Mr. Otis, ifter the principals their places, and at the mo- ment the word) wai @ both ill-timed and uncalled for ; and certainly it was not entitled to the least consideration from me. ‘The extraordinary course of protesting against 2 proceeding which, a8 Mr. Sehott’s friend, he had it in his power to control, and to offer a protest against his own act, involve an inconsistency which must be apparent toevery unprejudiced mind.
