REMARKS.
Since yesterday barometric pressure has increased over the
British Isles and the West of France. Temperature has fallen
on our east and southeast coasts, and risen on our southwest
coasts. In the West of Ireland the winds this morning are smith-
vesterly and light, on our other coasts they are chiefly between
northeast and northwest and light to moderate.

for the borough of Lewes the conservative party offered

only able to head the poll by some thirty-three votes. It
was, therefore, deemed advisable to form • liberal Regis-
tration Association, and this was most successfully inau-
gurated yesterday afternoon by • dinner, which took
. place in • marquee erected in the cricket ground. The
