OPEN-

M'IVEILS: 'AT

On Sunday evening, a very interesting scene took place
in the village of Scotlayi,near this.city. It hall been an-
; nounced, thotgh not generally, that the Rev. DrtllCNeile
who, we believe, was on a visit to David Hodgson,, Esq.,
of Scotbl4, would preaoh in the open air within the Park
enclosure, attached to, Mr, Hodgson's residence.. Aecord-
ingly at half-past seven,. the hour. appointed,. several hun-
dreds of pprsons had assembled, comprising almostall of the
inhabitants of Scotby, and the neighbouring- hamlets and
villages,.. and a good irtany from Carlisle and Stanmix. The
object of,; the preacher, was to address himself' particularly
to those, villagers who were not in the. habit of: going to
church and his sermon, whilst-exceedingly plain,
.was, at
the same time, most; impressive:. , He contrasted: forcibly
the pure enjoyments of a Christian life with.the sensual and-,
short-lived pleasures of, the worldly-minded ~and earnestlx
exhorted those who, had been. in the habit. of neglecting;
their religious duties to pause, and consider---to try the
effects. of prayer—to) forsake the public-house hir the House.
of God, and he promised them,, if they did,. this, more real
happiness than all; the pleasures of the world were capable
of afferding. He illustrated. ;the pure an& sinless life of
Christ; besought them to-, become His.. disciples whit
there was tinie,, warning- theta of the agony of remorse
which must follow hereafter those who persisted rin
rejecting His . marvellous. love. The address of tbe..rev..
gentleman was. listened to-throughout with great atten-
tion. There was. no interruption, save, from an occasional
railway train Tassing on its way to Carlisle. The speaker
paused sicrnificantly as the fiery chariot shot athwart, the,
scene. Whilst the sermon was going on, a vast congrega-
tion of crows, returning: from an excursion to the Solway,
assembled upon the tree—tops, raising occasionally, pinions
and voices .nt concert,. before finally,-going to roost.. But-
their chorus: eras in harmony with the scene. The weather.
was beautiful, the sky serene, scarcely a breath of air dim
turbing the beautiful, foliage of the trees, and the mellow--
voice of the• preacher was chstinctlyheard by all the listenera
who stood around, the males uneoirered, in respectful atti-
tudes of; attention.. Both before and after the sermon, the
whole assemblage joined together in singing a hymn.. That
a good, ffect has been produced upon those the. Reverend
Doetor,partieularly addressed himself top, there eannet be a
doubt.. We are quite certain_that it is long since the villa-
gers spent Sunday evening so. pleasurably an profitably
together.--" Carlisle Patriot".

BANQUET AT ROCHDALE TO MR. CORDEN.—At a, meeting
of the Rochdale Reform Committee, held on, Thursday
evening, it was, after considerable 'discussion, resolved that
a banquet upon. a large scale should be heltt in; honour of
14r.. Cobden, on. the 27th instant.

NOVEL USn Ton lloors.—There was..a passenger in the
Buffalo and Lake Huron railway-ears,, lately; whose hoops.
were very extensive. She had, taken her place pretty.
early ; neither tho persons in front, of her nor those
behind her suspected-anything wrong. But the conductor
was more sharp-eyed., "You've a boy there, ma'am," aaict
he ; " Pit trouble you for his fare." Youngster had to. get
up from: under his -umbrageous covering; and, after az few
words as to the bora age, the conductor. received his fare..
TIIE SONS Or tttP list of students, at
University Colleges London' who on Saturday last received.
prizes at the hail of no less distinguished a personage-than
the premier of Great Britain, Lard Palmerston, we find the-
names of the two sons of the ex--Governor of Hungary,
While he is, or about to be, in the field seeking theande-
pendence of his country, his, sons. have been winning laurels
in the more peaceable departments of architecture, natural
philosophy and astronomy, and civil engineering. It says
not a little for these young. strangers, that in a competition
. with upwards of two hundred students, they should have
succeeded in,gaining so honourable a position, and quite as
much credit is due to- their sire, that in all his adversities he
has adhered so religiously to the duty of a parent, and has
placedhis sons at least on the right road to,honourable inde,
penclence. His friends in this country may probably have had
a desire that he should have sought in, Britain a home and
country for himself and family, insteadof engaging in doubt-
fid schemes, of which no one can see, the end. He might
have founded a family in England, like, the Romillys, and
other exiles, who are now an integral part of the British
nation ; and none can doubt that to, the sons of Kossath
the way to advancement would not have been made more
difficult than to the native-born citizen. As it is, he seems
to be selecting a different course, and if that course be suc-
cessful, these young men may return to their own country
with the proud satisfaction that, at the University of Lon-
don, they won their prises by their own efforts, and that
those prizes were placed in their hands by the Prime Minis-
ter of the great, free nation. One great service their father
has, at least, performed to his country, he has made- it
known to the European public. It is no longer the terra
incognita that it formerly was, in little more than name,
Europe has its eye on Hungary, and, after Italy, Hungary
may possibly find, if not a road to independence, a road to
improvement. Whatever may be done in that direction
will be mainly due to the efforts of Kossuth ; and his sons
may-live to reflect on Hungary some p.ortion of the freedom
which they can scarcely fail to have imbibed during their
residence and education in England,

IMPROVEMENT IN GENTLEMEN'S ann letters
from time to time have, on this subject, appeared in the
"Post" and "Journal," the originals of which are to be
seen at our shops, 9, DALE-STREET, and 6, CRESCENT,
MR. JOHN A. SiIMPSON; the active partner of the
Arm of KINNEAR and SIMPSON, begs to state that
this improvement in Gentlemen's Hats is his own inven-
tion, and registered by him in his own name, and is his
own private property. In bringing this invention so
prominently before the public, he has avoided say-
ing one word about it himself. All that has been done
has just been to print, in the " Daily Post " and
the "Liverpool Journal," some three or four letters at
a time. The principle' upon, which the advertisement is
inserted is the one so well expressed in Proverbs--" Let
another' man praise thee, and not thine own mouth ; a
stranger, and not thine own lips." The whole of those
Letters are-written by persons altogether uninfluenced by
any other motive than this—that they really felt the bene-
fit of Mr SmsPsoN's invention,- and in such a degree, that
they thought it only just to him to state their opinions, not
n words merely, but also in writing.
