On the north and east;c7a•tiibsirometrical pressures are
higher than those reported yesterday morning, but In the south
and west they are lower. Since last evening a decrease has oc
curred at all stations, and reading. are now •earryy uniform.-
Temperature has changed but little. Winds are light from the
south In Great Britain ; they are moderate from the west in
Ireland, and Irons the east on the west coast of France. Rain
is reported from the west, but elsewhere weather is fine. A
thunderstorm was reported last evening from Toulon.

A letter from Cannes of the 11th describes the
burial of the remains of Lord Brougham. The little church
there was full. The officiating clergymen were the Rem
E. F. Neville Rolfe and V. L. D. Acland. The chief mourner
was William Brougham, the brother of the deceased. The
hymn sung is said to have been one which was a special
favourite with Lord Brougbam whilst his faculties were
still unclouded ; and it was at his particular request that
it ;was added by Mr. Rolfe to the Christ Church Hymn.

Let not your hearts with anxious thonelits
Be troubled or dismayed;
gut trust in Providence divine,
And trust My gracious aid.
I to my Father's house return ,
There numerous mansions stand,
And glory manifold abounds
Through all the happy land.
Until its final destination shall be made known the °elfin
will remain in the crypt of the little church.

The Telegraph states that in a few days there
will be a vacancy in the representation of Lambeth. Mr,
Doniton will not be seen any more in his place beside Lord
Elcho, nor his name in the division hilts.
The total number of visitors to the National
Portrait Gallery during the year 1867 was 24,649, being
17 less than the previous year.
THE R ErRENENTATION OF EAST WORCESTER-
SHIRE. It appears that Mr. Litalett, who formerly
represented the city of Worcester, has decided to offer
himself as the conservative candidate for the eastern
division of the county, in place of Lord Calthorpe, and in
opposition to the liberal candidate, the Hon. Mr. Lyttelton.
Up to yesterday it was doubtful if Mr. Laslett really meant
to come forward, but late last evening we received his ad-
dress, which appears in our advertisement columns. By
comparison of this document with the preliminary " feeler"
Issued yesterday it will be seen that Mr. Laalett's views
have become a little more decided in the course of the
day ; but substantially the remarks in our leading columns
apply to his actual as to his prospective candidature.—

THE BISHOP OF HEREFORD. ReepOCtillg the
appointment of Canon Atlay as Bishop of Hereford, a
correspondent of the Leeds Mercury writes :—lt may
be interesting to the parishioners of Leeds to
know that there is one general feeling of thank-
fulness throughout the diocese of Hereford at the
appointment of Cvnon Atlay as bishop. Divided as
the diocese is between high and low church, the appoint-
merit of an impartial man to preside over the church is
what was wanted. There is also an immense amount of
church work in arrear, owing to the long absence of the
late bishop from his episcopal duties. A theological
college for training students for the ministry is much
wanted. Canon Atlay will meet with a hearty recep-
tion.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE ON THE MIDLAND RAIL-
WAY AT BRADFORD.—Yeatei day afternoon, about ten
minutes past 4 • sad occurrence took place on the
Midland line, a short distance from the Bradford station.
The 4.15 p.m. goods train from Bradford to Leeds was
being made up to the east aide of the main line, had nearly
completed its complement of waggons, and was in the
act of being backed from one line to another, when •
man was seen to oome from behind some carriages which
were standing in • siding on the west side of the line, •
little below Trafalgar-street. Edward Henson, who was
at the points shunting the goods train, observed the man
walk across the main line, and being fearful that he
would be caught by the goods train, aped out to him to
stand back. Instead of doing so, he was seen by
Henson, who was not many yards distant, deliberately_
to lie across the line, and before the signal could
be given to the engine driver to stop, two of the
waggons passed over him. The end waggon of the
Etodds train was
metals,e, and as it pawed over the man's
idt left thebut the second waggon, which was
, all but severed his head from his body. The unfor-
tunate man was speedily extricated, but life was extinct,
the head adhering to the body only by a small bit of sits.
