KOSSUTH IN NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.—M. Kossuth, at
the invitation of a considerable number of the inhabi-
tants, has been lecturing upon the Concordat in New-
castle-on-Tyne this week to large audiences. His recep-
tion has been most enthusiastic, and oil Monday be was
accompanied by a procession of 10,000 persons to
the lecture ball. He will be entertained at a public
breakfast this day (Thursday), when Sir John Fife will
preside. M. Kossuth seemed to be only in poor health,
as if worn dawn with the excitement of the large meet-
ings he has recently addressed. The whole of the pro-
ceeds of the Newcastle lectures will be presented to him.
A curious trial took place recently at a Rhenish tr.-
bunal. A man possessed some nut trees, of which the
branches hung over the ground of a neighbour, who
picked up the ripe nuts that fell from the tree and also
broke some branches. For this the latter was prose-
cuted for theft and trespass, but acquitted on the ground
that he was entitled to profit by the fruit growing over
his own pr perry. Appeal wai made from this. decision,
and the judgment reversed by the superior tribui,al, be-
cause the principles of civil law ordain that all fruit and
branches belong to the stem, and the stem to him upon
whose ground it is planted, and that the right of pro
party of the latter does not cease with the extension over
neighbours' ground, no matter bow far this extension.
The accused was consequently condemned on both
counts.

OPEN-ATR PREACH' YG.—Prea-hing in the open air
has been rr commenced in some of the large towns of
Yorkshire by clergymen of the Church of England. The
congregations are generally numerous and always atten-
tive, and one of the ministers at Leeds reports that larger
congregations have been observed at his church on the
Sunday evenings after Divine service has been cele-
brated in the open air. The Dissenters are bestirring
themselves in imitation of this example. At a meeting
of the principal members of the Wesleyan Society, held
at Lincoln, it was resolved that a series of open-air
preachings should be commenced in the more destitute
localities of the city, and that the services should be
continued in the winter evenings in cottages, or other
convenient places, so as to bring all the poor, if possible,
under the sound of the Gospel.
LAUNCH or THE TORlNO—Yesterday afternoon another
splendid specimen of naval architecture was launched
frond Mr. Mare's yard at Blackwell. The vessel was
a fine screw frigate, named the Torino. It is the fourth
vessel built by Mr. Mare for the Genoese Transat-
lantic Company. Its length between the perpendiculars
was 263 feet 4 inches ; length of keel for tonnage, 240
feet 6t inches ; breadth for tonnage, 38 feet ; depth
in midships, 26 feet 6 inches ; tonnage, 1347 44-94.
The engines are to be of 300-horse power, by Maude-
lay, Son, and Field. The Torino was designed by
Mr. James Ash. The laucch was witnessed by a
select and fashionable circle, who afterwards partook
of a rechercA6 luncheon at the Brunswick Hots].
Several vessels were building in the yard, which
attracted much attention, especially the Havre, for
the South Western Company.
ALGERIA.—WhiIst great inundations have taken place
in France, Africa has been suffering from drought. At
Constantina the natives last week had recourse to what
they consider an infallible means of obtaining rain—the
ceremony of ducking, with religious forms, in the near-
est fiver the half-witted creatures called marabouts.
Five or six of these men were conveyed in procession to
the Roumel, and there plunged several times in succes-
sion into the water, the persons composing the proces-
sion at the same time singing and shouting. One of
them, who was unwilling to be ducked, was thrown into
the river by force, and when he came out he declared in
a passion that no rain should fall for a year. The next
day, however, to the great delight of the natives, clouds
covered the sky, and after a while abundant rain fell.
Of course they ascribed this result to the ducking of
the marabouts.
STATE OF TRADE'.---NOTTINGHA3I, Wednesday.—The
lace trade is in a a very satisfactory state, and, although
more quiet of late, still the fine genial weather of the
present month will render the demand for fancy arti-
cles more brisk. We are now between the spring and
summer seasons, and the quietness of the trade at the
present tune is what always occurs at corresponding
periods, and at this particular season manufacturers pre-
pare for the summer trade. From present appearances
there will, in all probability, be an active summer de-
mand. The hosiery trade is also rather more quiet than
it was a few weeks ago ; on the whole, however, the
trade is in a very healthy condition, and we are expect-
ing a good summer trade. Yarns are firm, at high
prices.
CHEAP PIITSIC.—Bet about doing good to somebody.
Put on your bat and go and visit the poor ; inquire into
their wants, and administer unto them ; seek out the
desolate and oppressed, and tell them of the consolations
of religion. I have often tried this, and found it the
best medicine for a heavy heart —Howard
VANITY or RANK.—Alexander the G'reat, seeing
Diogenes looking attentively at a largo collection of
human bones, piled one upon another, asked the phi•
losopher what he was looking for, "I am searching,"
said Diogenes, "for the bones of your father, but I
cannot distinguish them from those of his dam."
