A remarkably rapid increase in barometrical readings has taken place since yesterday over the whole of the British Isles, showing that pressure is in a disturbed condition. Much of this increase has occurred since last evening —on the Channel coast the rise since six o'cl ck has been almost Olin. Readings at present are high and very uniform. Temperature is considerably lower. The wind yesterday on the Channel coast was strong from the S.W., but continued easterly in northern districts. This morning light and variable winds are prevalent except in the Bay of Biscay, where they are strong from the W. Some rain has fallen at most stations. The weather is cloudy, with fog and mist on the E. coast, The Liberals of Wallingford have filed a petition igainst the return of Mr. Stanley Vickers. The new Dean of Cork is the Rev. A. Edwards, son-in-law to the late Bishop of Derry, and rector of Tam laght Finlagan, in that diocese. I he Queen has sent .£lOO in aid of the Swiss Inun dation Relief Fund. The total amount already subscribed is £2,853 Bs. The damage done to property during the recent election riots in Monmouthshire is estimated at from .0,000 to £7,000. At the Chester Assizes on Monday four men were sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from three to six months for rioting at Landlach during the Mid-Cheshire election. The Echo appeared on Tuesday. It is a sheet of four pages, half as largo again as the Pull :Van Gazette, and is printed on toned paper. In politics it suppoits Mr. Glad stone. An Art Exhibition was opened at Bolton on Mon day—Mr. Anthony Trollops delivering the "inaugural" ad dress. During his speech ho related an incident of his recent canvass. Ile asked a nian for his vut. , , and was told that he Lad better go home and write another novel. A petition against the return of Sir R. A. Glass, the Co:.&7.rvative member for Bowdloy, has been pre sented. The petition all bas bribery, treating, and intimi dation. TIL) seat is claimed for Mr. Thomas Lloyd, the Liberal candidate. We hear from Stafford that the threatened peti tion against the return of Colonel Mellor, the Conservative member, will probably be abandoned in consequence of the avowed determination of the Conservatives to retaliate by filing a petition against the return of Alderman PocYn. A vacancy is created in the representation of Bir mingham by Mr. Bright's acceptance of the office of Presi dent of the Board of Trade. Tho election will prol ably take place next week or the w, oh after. No opposit'on to the right hon. gentleman is expected. Mr. J. S. 1%. . S. Eric Drax has written a denial of the statements, that it was not his intention to contest the borough of Wareham at the coming election, end that he had been hurt while out hunting. Ile does intend offering himself as a candldate, and his address is to be issued forthwith. The cases against 12 Conservatives of breaking into a Liberal committee-room at Bohon were resuwd at Bolton on Monday. After hearing a groat deal more evi dence of " bottling," the magistrates decided by a majority that the charges had been answered, and all the defendants wore therefore ditmiesed.

Brigadier-General Lefroy, R.A., at present hold ing the office of President of the Ordnance Select Committee, has been appointed Director-General of Ordnance and Commandant of the Royal Ar senal, Woolwich, and we are informed that Colonel Milward, C. 8., R.A., Aide-de-camp to the Queen, Assistant-Director of Ordnance, will be Deputy- Director-General of Ordnance, and Deputy-Com mandant Royal Arsenal. The want of a supreme head over the vast establishments in the Royal Ar senal has long been felt, the departments having worked independently of each other. The constitu tion of the present Ordnance Select Committee will be considerably modified. Ensign J. W. Graves and Ensign S. Phillips, 2d Battalion of the I.th (Royal Iris!i) Regiment, from the depot at Colchester, embarked at Gravesend yesterday on hoard the si.ip Flying Spur, for Melbourne, to j the service companies of that regiment. An order his been issued from the War 0111c.2 announcing the introduction into the sa-vice of a new description of wrought-iron muz zle-lording 10-inch 18-ton gun, of which the fol lowing is the official te Ithnic d description :--Length of gun, 14ft. 2in. ; mean weight of gun, 18 tons 241 b. ; mean preponderanc?, Bcwt. lqr. 241 b. ; length of bore, 145-sin. ; length of r;fling, 118 in. ; calibre, 10in. ; "A" tube tough steel. Tais new description of ordnance is of the general type re.- presented by the 7,8, and gin. guns. They are rifled upon the Woolwich system with seven grooves, having a twist increasing from one turn in 100 calibres at the breech to one turn in 40 calibres at the muzzle. The only guns of this nature which have as yet been completed-8 for her Majesty's ironclad ship Hercules—are specially vented in the following manner :—The vent enters the bore at llin. from the end, and-upon the right-hand side, at an angle of 45 deg. to the vertical axis on the transverse section, and directed to the axis of the gun. The vent consists of a steel bush, lined with copper, screwed in from the exterior against a platinum tip screwed up from the interior. This tip has a flange, or button shaped head, protecting into the bore, as a means of preventing the gas escaping into the joint. A projecting head is left upon the bush to enable it to be removed when required by a spanner. The bottom of the vent is enlarged to a diameter of -32 in., tapering up to -222 in. (the diameter of the vent channel) in a length of one inch. The guns are sighted in the ordinary manner at a deflectional angle of Ideg. 10min., but this angle is only to be regarded as provisional. -They are fitted with " plates, metal, elevating," and " pivots." The caseable faces are graduated for the application of the road tangent scale. Mr. W. B. Robinson has, by direction of the Ad miralty, visited Sheerness for the purpose of in specting the dockyard works and accounts. The Rev. Father Michael Conway has been ap pointed Roman Catholic Naval Chaplain at Sheer ness, at a yearly stipend of £l2O, vice the Reverend Father Lee. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Sub-Lieutenant George Iyat, to the Juno ; W. A. Stevens, assistant paymaster, to the impregnable : George M. Jackson, assistant paymaster, to the Pembroke; John B. Creagh, assistant paymaster, to the Cambridge ; and Chas. E. Tremaine, assistant paymaster, to the Valiant. The following appointment has been made in the Naval Reserve :--To be Lieutenant, T. Augustus Fox. LIQUID FUEL AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL. The experiments made from time to time prove the practicability and expediency of employing mineral oils as a substitute for coal have been fol lowed by the adoption in many cases of the former material instead of the latter for the purpose of generating steam for manufacturing purposes. While the completesubstitutiou of liquid fuel for coal is now considered impracticable, it has been proved, in mak ing the tests by which that opinion has been arrived at that liquid fuel possesses many important ad vantages. Though numerous plans projected for the purpose of procuring the adoption of oils for coal have been followed by failure, the burning of liquid fuel has been brought into practical working, its use being now so adequately under stood that it can be ex tetly arrange 1 and fully controlled. In some of the more delicate pro -o,2s.,:ies of iron manufacture li.juid fuel has been employed with beneficial results. Creosote, the oil used, is burned in an ordinary reheating furnace of large size. A flue clear flame envelopes the form of iron which is being heated, and under ordinary circumstances the material is ready for fashioning in little more than hall the time required when coal is used. Another advantage afforded is that, as the heat is equal in every part of the furnace, it is never requisite, as some times happens when coal is used, to replace the metal in the furnace to complete the shaping of it. The finished article, whatever it may be, is produced with the metal much less " fatigued" than usual. The creosote is converted into vapour in an auxiliary boiler, and the vapour is sup plied through a coil of pipe which takes the place of the usual fire, the supply of vapour requisite to produce the desired heat being regulated by a stop cock, in the same way and as easily as the supply of illuminating gas to an ordinary burner. In the gene ration of steam for marine purposes the maximum theoretical efficiency has in som cases been almost reached. The chemical composition of the fuel used for the purposes slecified appeared on experiment to possess a maximum evaporative power of 13.0231 b (converting water at GO degrees Fahrenheit into steam at 212 degrees), and in the practical trials an evaporative duty of 12•5361 b. was obtained, or the maximum less about half a pound. With additional care in regulating the supply of air and other de tails it is expected that an evaporative efficiency of 131 b. of water per lib. of oil burned will be obtained. Taking the average duty of coal at 71b of water per llb of coal burned, the weight of oil required to fuel a vessel would be only about one-half that of the necessary coal. Further, calculating that a ton of coal, as stowed on board a ship, would occupy 43 cubic feet of space, and that 34 feet would suffice for a ton of oil, the quantity of oil equivalent in efficacy to a ton of coal would occupy only 17 cubic feet, so that the saving in stowage space would amount to GO per cent. of the space required for coal. Now that something like a specific estimate of the value of liquid fuel has been ascertained in a considerable number of industrial projects, there is little doubt that its use for other mannfacturing purposes will be gradually developed. For marine purposes, however, there are many obvious diffi culties in the way of its adoption.-7 ones. Her Majesty held two Privy Councils this day at Windsor, at the first of which the late Ministers were present, and delivered up their seals of office. Subse quently the honour of knighthood was conferred upon the late Solicitor-General, B. Baggallay, Esq., Mr. Baron Cleasby, and Mr. Justice Hayes. Previous to the second council Mr. Childers and Mr. Bright were sworn in as Privy Councillors, and took their seats at the board ac cordingly. The seals of office were then handed over to the now ministers. THE OUT-GOING AND IN -COMING MINISTERS.- The members of the late Ministry arrived at Windsor at 12.50 this day, and had au audience with the Queeu, when they resigned their seals of office. The new Ministers arrived shortly after, and had an audience with the Queen. THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—Some large catches of fish were taken on the Devon and Cornish coasts during the past week. Herrin in greater abundance than for some years past, and disposod of at from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per 120. Upwards of 130 tons of sprats wore sent to the London markets. Good catches of fine whiting, and a largo supply forwarded to London, 5,.11 in aivou and Cornwall at the rate of 8, 10, and 12 fora shilling. About 150 hogsheads of pilchards have been taken on the Cornish coast. . --- LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A.
