Atmospherical pressures are still lower than they were yesterday morning at all our stations : the diminution on the Channel coast has been Olin., and has been quickest during the night. Readings are now very low, especially in the N. of Great Britain and in Ireland. The difference between those at Rochefort and Leith is eight-tenths of an inch. Pressure at Cape Clear is also very low. Temperature has increased in the S. of England, but is lower on the Irish coast. Yesterday the gale from S. to S.W. prevailed on all coasts : it was heaviest in the S. of Ireland, where it ceased about midnight. The direction of the wind at Yarmouth was SE. This morning it is still blowing hard from S.W. on the Channel coast, but in the W. winds have veered to N., and moderated. A gale from the N.W. is re ported torn Nairn. The weather is not more settled : the sky is cloudy, and rain is falling in the S. and W. In the Channel the sea is high. Warnings were issued to all coasts yesterday. DINNER TO MR. SMITH, M.P. FOR WESTMINSTER. The Conservatives of Westminster have been celebrating the return of Mr. Smith at a dinner, under the auspices of the Londcn and Westminster Working Men's Constitutional Association. Between 700 and 800 visitors wero present, and the galleries of the hall (St. James's) were occupied by ladies. Lord - George Hamilton, M.P., for Middlesex, was in the chair, and among the company were Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P., the Earl of Longford, Henry Lord Lennox, M.P., Lord Vaughan, Admiral Hamilton, the Hon. Robert Grimston, Col. Brownlow Knox, M.P., Mr. S. Vickers, M.P., ,Sir Henry Edwards, M. P., Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Gen. the Hon. Percy Herbert, M.P., the Hon Colonel Stuart Knox, M.P., etc. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, namely, " The Health of Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P.," con gratulated those present, and the electors of Westminster in general, upon the glorious triumph which they achieved when they succeeded in returning that gentleman. The victory which had been achieved in Westminster in the return of Mr. Smith had beerr appreciated throughout the length and breadth of the land. This was clear by a telegram which had been received that even ing from Salford, which said, " The working men of Salford congratulate the working men of Westminster on the glori ous victory which they have won." Mr. SMITH, in returning thanks, said he did not desire to speak in any spirit of bravado, but he must say that he believed there had been a most powerful reaction in favour of constitutional principles, not only in West minster, but in Middlesex, and certainly in Lancashire. It might be said that ho was connected with a party which, although recently in power, was now in a mino rity in the House of Commons. In reply, he could only say that however much he might personally regret that his noble friend (Lord Henry Lennox) was now leaving official life for a short time, yet ho could not help think ing that the step which Mr. Disraeli had taken was the wisest which he could have done under the circumstances. They had, at present, no cause to despair. The battle was not yet lost. It had still to be fought. There were many changes which had overtaken political parties in the past, and he certainly believed that many more changes would overtake political parties in the future, and he felt that there was abundant reasons for the Conservative party to be satis fied, and confidently await the result. On Tuesday night Earl Dudley gave a grand ball at Witley Court, in honour of his ltoyul guest, the Crown Prince of Prussia. The Duke and Duchess of Au.laic, the Dec do Chartres, Gild M. Van de Weyer were amongst thy, guests. His Royal Highness visited Worcester on Wednesday and took an opportunity of inspecting the Cathedral, and the new works. The Rev. Canon Wood was luckily in the Cathedral when his Royal Highness arris ed, and conducted the Prince over the building—the crypt and choir claiming the especial attention of the Prince, who, before leaving the Cathedral, signed his rattle in the visitors' book. Ifs Royal Highness honoured Canon Wood with a visit to his house, and expressed his gratification at all ho bad soon in the Cathedral. IMPERIAL PARLIABIENT TIIIS DAY. HER MAJESTY'S APPROVAL OF THE SPEAKER. Mr Denison to-day appeared in the House of Commons in a court suit, and what is called a " bob wig ;" and on the members being again sum moned by Black Rod to the House of Peers, the right hon. gentleman took precedence, and arriving at the bar, stated to the Lords Commissioners that, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, her Ma jesty's faithful Commons, in the exercise of their undoubted rights and privileges, bad proceeded to the election of a Speaker, and their choice bad fallen upon himself. He therefore submitted him self, with all humility, to her Majesty's most gra cious approbation. The LORD CHANCELLOR, addressing the right honourable gentleman by his name, assured him that her Majes'y was fully sensible of his zeal for the public service, and of his sufficiency to perform the important duties he had been selected to di3- charge and most readily approved and confirmed him as the Speaker of her faithful Commons. Mr. J. E. DENISON then bowed to her Majesty's command, and then laid claim on behalf of the Commons to their ancient and undoubted rights and privileges, " especially to freedom from arrest and molestation of their persons and servants, to freedom of speech in debate, and free access to her Majesty whenever occasion shall require," concluding with the request that the most favourable construction might be put upon all their proceedings, and that any errors that might occur in the discharge of their duties might be imputed to himself alone, and not to her Majesty's faithful Commons. The LORD CHANCELLOR then addressed the right hon. gentleman as " Mr. Speaker," and gave an assurance that her Majesty most readily con firmed all the rights and privileges which have been granted by her royal predecessors, and would be ever ready to put the most favourable construc tion upon the _right hon. gentleman's words and actions. The Speaker then returned to the House of Com mons and reported what had passed to the House of Peers, and thenceforward assumed his ordinary official garb, and the swearing in of members com menced, and was continued up to the hour of ad journment. ♦t Present. last Year.

The Third Edition of " The San " of last Evening was published in time for delivery in town at 7.13 p.m. The Price of Gold. The quotaiim of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 174 c. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 i s. told. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same priee in London and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for b i ll at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1093 percent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the Untied btates. SUPPOSED DOUBLE SUlClDE.—Considerable ex citement was caused in the borough this morning by the report that a double suicide bad been committed at No. 45, High-street. The rumour was soon verified.

Both were rimoved to Guy's Hospital, but death had already rendered medical aid of no avail.

Chase was immediately made after him, but he managed to elude his pursuer. MR. BRIGHT IN OFFICE.— Why Mr. Bright took office is explained by the right hon. gentleman himself in a letter which he has addressed to Mr. Henry Ibbetson, of Sheffield. "It is a great pleasure to me," Mr. Bright says, " to know that you and your friends in Sheffield are satisfied with the course I have taken in joining the no Administration. I have done it with extreme reluctaoo but the pressure put upon me was more than I could with stand. I hope I have done what it seemed finally my duty to do." THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRAM-Bir mingham, Dec. 1 0.—There was a good attendance of iron and coal masters at the Exchange to-day. The trade is reported quieter. At most of the works they are engaged on orders given out some time since, and there are not many fresh ones coming in. It is not improbable that there will be a measure of slackness in that respect for the nest two or three weeks, but, all things considered, the trade is in a tolerably healthy state, and the list prices for the best brands of finished iron are fairly maintained. The preliminary meeting will be held in this town on the 24th inst. The new system of working hours directed by the Admiralty for adoption in the Royal dockyards will come into operation at Sheerness on the Ist of January next. Thc Admiralty have granted the loan of the hulk Helena to the Rev. 11. \Vhiteway for use as a floating chapel at Ipswich.
