Corr espondence of the TELEGRAPH,

New YoRK, Nov. 81, 1851.
A fine, clear day, sufficiently bracng, but not a
sign of snow. The Sabbath, yesterday was Just
such another. Rev. DIR. Spring delivered in the
forenoon the third of his series OF lectures upon
"The Glory cf Christ" This time it was upon
tho glory Of the personal character of Jesus, and
he ound his text in Heb 7c.--26v--"Hol Holy
harmless, undehled, ,.separate from sinners"
lhe discourse was d more than commonly cor
| rect portraiture of the distinct human character
OF the Saviour of men, as contrasted with his
divine nature 1t was hard, if not impossible for
SHINING men to describe a spotess character
Aeaxis, when he painted iIslen for the Temple
OF Juno, selected Eve of the most beautiful wo-
men, that their combined loveness might Civ
him perfect ideal. 1t is no such beauty that
we would honor in Christ, nor can we paint him
| from living characters. lie was "made under
| the law" and not arrogating TO himself higher
one, obeyed this law. In his divine nature he
claimed to be equal with God, but in his human
nature he defined and submitted TO human au
| thorty.
The pastor then proceeded to describe forcibly
and eoquentiy, and with the graphic pencil of one
VINO has devoted long life to the study of his
subject, Christs DEVOTION flial love- due Difference
10 age, rank, talents, and authority, obedience
strong attachments, humility, tenderness, spirit
| OF forgiveness, assduity in administering to the
poor aud afflicted, courage, fortitude endurance
and self-denial
Nothing further has been done in regard TO
street preaching. Arch Bishop Hughes has pro
hounced against It, lie also declares against the
system OF public schools, the ground that no
religion is taught in them, and the most obiec
tionaoie sectafianism (he says would be better
than none.
lhe Arch Bishop has issued his dictuu against
hossnt also because the Hungarian condemns
'esut'isIn and conmends English liberty, without
saying one word in behalf OF the freedom of Ire
land.
'arrit Smith, and other prominent Abolitonists,
are already calling upon kossuth to raise his voice
against american slavery, but it is more than pro-
odbie that he will mind his own counry's business
and let alone.
iruly the fears Of some excessively conserva-
i've people among us leading them to defend the
austrian powers that be- at the expense of
hossuth and his good name, is equally criminal
and absurd. But the most ridiculous fears of the
revolution was being evnced in Vienna in October
last, when, according to a correspondent of the
journal OF Commerce writing from the Austrian
Capital, arrests were daily made of persons for
wearing hats of a peculiar form, supposed to be
a secret sign or indication among the enemies of
the Goyernmepl

NOVEL SUIT AND HEAVY DAMAGES
We learn that on Saturday last Col. u
D. Mitchell. of this city, received unmis,
taxable notice that in one OF the New
York courts. a judgment had been Oh
tanned against him for the sum OF slo"'
600 for spoilations in New Mexico during
the late war. It seems that is the alIeg'
ed woyth of property taken by the Colo-
nel in the way of forage &c, for the use
of the Army. Indemnity was sonSn'
for by the Mexican claimants from ln'
government. but failing in that qnane,
