STREET PREACHING IN ENGLAND. = Lord
John Russell, at the anniversary meeting of the
London City Mission Society. reported that
clergyman told him that the only way he could
reach the hearts and minds of the poorer per
sons living IN the alleys and lanes of Brighton,
was to 60 INTO the middle of the streets and
thus the poorer persons, who did not like to APP
pear at any place of worship in their shabby
clothes, pat their heads out of the window to
listen to his exhortations. This is one of the
illustrations amongst many that places of wor-
ship in England do not reach the whole masses
of the community. -

Vegetables of all kinds are unusually
abundant and have ripcned much earlier this
spring than is common. Strawberries and
blackberries are to be had in market in con-
siderable quantities. though at prices that
give them very silvery taste. In the vege-
table line we notice green peas in abundance,
new potatoes, snap beans, early cabbage, rad
ishes, salad, etc. nearly all of which have
been on sale for a long period and are now to
be had at moderate rates. There have
been shipped to Northern cities large qnant-
ties of vegetables 10y every departure Of the
different steam ships, which has had tenden-
cy to keep up prices here. The Marion. for
New York, on Wednesday, took, one hundred
and fifty barrels of veg, tables, and the Key

fifteen barrels of peas and three barrels of
potatoes. BY this means the gard n, S are
enabled to get rid of their surplus stock. ami

readers, aud bis numerous friends. the arrival
in this city OF w. B. Reed. Minister Pienipo-
Tertiary of the United States to the Chinese
Empire. His Excellency reached Paris on
Monday last, the 2Sth inst, and | had the
qualification of seeing him yesterday. at the
Hotel Meurice, in excellent health and spirits.
after his long labors aud journeys. II is al
most unnecessary for me to add that Mr..
Reeds reception here, both by his own cOun-
trymen, and by the representatives of this
and every other government with which his
late mission has brought him into connection,
has been of the most cordial and satisfactory
nature, and, in every respect, such as might
be anticipated from the highly successful issue
of the negotiations in which he has been en-
gagged, and the reputation he has gained a. a
statesman and diplomatist by his mode of
conducting them. am particularly reques-
ted To mention that Mr. Reed aud Mr.. Ward,
bis successor as American representative il
China. met, by appointment. in Lyons. on
Saturday the 26th March, aud passed the day
together in conference.
