A strong easterly wind has passed over Scotland, and In the
Channel the winds have been fresh from southwest. There
has been a general increase in the barometrical protium ore
the British lilies except in the north of Scothtnd. Thls increase,
reported as taking place yesterday afternoon at Valentia has
been considerable on the west coasts—nearly half an inch at
ol) h. ad. Light north-westerly winds now prevail In the south
of Ireland. Rain has fallen chiefly in North Britain, whilst the
tall reported from Rochefort is large.

" Argue," of the Post, complains that, " really the
jockeys of the present day, with the exception of some
three or four, give themselves such intolerable airs, that
there is no standing them ; when they indulge in chats•
paps for breakfast, and turn up their nose at any cigar
afterwards less than the size of a sausage, how can they be
expected to be fit for their business, or get through the
work prescribed for them ? And those who hare led
them to imitate their own follies are responsible for mat
serious and expensive evils than they contemplated at the
time."

It is stated in a letter to a contemporary that at
the jurors in the ease of Augusta Ann Mitchell, ten were
in favour of an acquittal, and that two only were in favour
of finding her guilty, and positively coerced the ten by the
fear of being looked up ; so they compromised by strongly
recommending her to mercy. _ _

The Bishop of Chester, writing to Dr. M'Neile,
repudiates any intention of exactly balancing defects ea
the evangeliml side in the church against excesses in the
other. " Yon must allow me to remind you," be says,
writing on the sth, " that the first formal complaint made
to me of irregularities in the conduct of Divine service
came from yourself and your friends. It seems to me,
accordingly, just and right that while the reasonableness
of your complaint is admitted, as it fully is by me, you
should at the same time bear in mind, what I for my part
am not permitted to forget, that faults of this kind are not
peculiar to one aide."
A CHILD Burrs sr • VIPER. -The distressing
narrative which follows has been communicated to us .-
" Two little children, aged respectively nine and eleven,
were looking for blackberries in Handsworth wood, Tester
day (Thursday), when the younger (a little girl) was suddenly
bitten in the leg by a snake (supposed to be a viper). The
elder (a boy) screamed for assistance, but, being frightened
at the reptile, ran to his home, in a lane adjoining the
wood. His mother was at home, and came to the assist-
ance of the girl (her niece). But the poor little thing ass
in her last agony. It looked piteously in her aunt's farm,
and died without saying a word. The child's mother (Mrs.
Hunt) was soon informed of this most distressing event
She at once fell into a fit, and it was two hours before sin
recovered. Her grief was heartrending ; she wept ad
tore her hair, and showed every sign of the deepest woe.
She is a widow, and the little girl who has expired under
such painful circumstance was her only surviving child.
The body lies at the Grove Tavern, Hareiworth, awaitial
the inquest, which will take place to-morrow (Saturday).
