Yesterday, Rev. Dr.. George, delivered a
lenothy sermon on the text "Couhe

for great is the Holy One OF lsresi' IN the
midst of thee" Isaiah, 18th chapter anu
9Th verse. A rather small NUMBER OF
people were present, not more 'hSn
hundred and fifty. The rendering OF .Se

voices being we'll trained and not anec3eu
as is frequently the case.
DR.. George said that the prime coca

q discourse was delivered by the Rev.
Mr., Clancy on christian gratitude for

cause for thanksgiving, but the truly
thankful finds mercies and goodness
aboundlng everywhere. The bread we
eat, our common liberties sud the hopes
that inspire US onward should lesC. US,
with Paul, 10 exclsim, Thanks be to God
for His unspeaksbe gift" We assemble
today IN common with our felIow-citi-
zens of grest nation to acknowledge
Gods goodness, and just AS truly as the
steel obeys the law which attracts will
the grateful praise God, give thanks, and
sing. Love led the Father to give HIS son
ransom tor our sins, and love is the cen
trsl power that moves II sanctifed ma.
ture IN Its benevolent operations.
In this We know love: That he laid
down His life for US, and We ought 10
lay down our lives tor the brethren. But
whosoeyc- has this worlds sustenan &c
and shuts up his pity against brother
in need inspiration inqlires: chow
dwells the love OF God In him." and q
poet sweetly sings:
--"He that will not give
wealth,
To others good is poor frozen soul"

Us to triumph 10 Christ and makes mani.
lest by US IN every place the SAVIOR of

yard long on the legs Of her chenii-

A personal rencontre between Mr..
James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of
the New York Herald, and Mr.. Freder-
lex May, brother of Mr.. Benefits re-
cent affianced, occurred a few days
since in front of the Union Club House,
on Fifth Avenue, New York, Mr.. May,
who was evidently lying in wait for his
antagonist, being the aggressor, and a
heavy whip being the instrument used.
MIR. Benefits marriage with Miss May,
which was to have been solemnized
by Bishop McCloskey on the Sd, was
broken off almost at the last hour by
the lady's family, with her own &C
quiescence, on account of some recent
notorious escapades of the wealthy
bridegroom. A hostile meeting was
anticipated.
