REMARKS,

Since Saturday atmospherical pressure over the British Isles has
generally diminished, and its distribution is somewhat changed, the
lowest readings being now in the S.W. of Ireland. At Valencia
there has been, however, a rise since yesterday morning, but at other
stations pressures have slightly diminished : the difference in read-
ings between Yarmouth and Valencia is o'3ln. Temperature is
generally lower ; tne fall has been most on our E. coast. Fresh
south-easterly winds prevailed yesterday on the Channel coast and in
the S. of Ireland, but elsewhere they were generally southerly and
moderate. This morning the wind at southern stations is south-
easterly. A considerable amount of rain has fallen in the S. of
Ireland since yesterday. Fog and mist were reported yesterday, and
still continue in places. The sky is generally overcast.

TI-Tv COAF_ERENCE ON THE EASTERN

QUESTION.

_ ~.

A curious little difficulty intervened at the last moment
during the winding up of the arrangements for the Con-
ference. The Austrian Ambassadar, Prince Metternich,
desired to represent both Austria and Hungary,
but Russia and Prussia objected to this double quali-
fication. They would recognise Prince Metternich only
as the representative of the Emperor Francis Joseph.
This trifling obstacle was, however, speedily surmounted.
There can be no doubt that one Ambassador cannot sit
for two Powers. Prince Metternich could not be the
envoy both of Austria and Hungary ; but lie could repre-
sent the Austro-Hungarian inonarchy, which is now the
title of Francis Joseph's dominions. The Turkish
Minister received part of his instructions in
writing, and the rest by telegraph. It is noto-
rious that the Pcite was the last to consent to the
Conference, and only did so with extreme reluctance.
The Presse says that the son-in-law of the French Foreign
Minister will be charged with the duty of secretary. The
Illoniteur affirms that the most complete accord exists
between Austria, France, and England. Italy ranges
herself on the same side. •

A man named Bourke has been sentenced to six
months' imprisonment at the Sligo quarter sessions for riot-
ing at the lato borough election. Several others received
somewhat shorter sentences.

At a meeting of the Metropolitan Commanding
Officer; held on Friday afternoon, tim -question of the place
of holding the forthcoming Easter Volunteer review was
discussed, and the committee appointed to report at the next
meeting.

TERMINATION OF THE RIiFFORD
fashionable and old-established hunt will come to a close
at the end of the present season. A meeting on the sub-
ject was held at 011erton, Notts, on Monday, when Earl
Manvers, the Speaker, Mr. S 'vile, the lion. Col. Monck-
ton, Mr. Manners Sutton, Colonel Welfitt, Colonel Bod-
dam, and others, were present. A letter from the master,
Mr. Harvey Bailey, was read, in which he tendered his
resignation, the chief reason being that foxes are scarce,
not being preserved properly. A resolution was unani-
mously passed " That Mr. Bailey has fully and honour-
ably acquitted himself of all his engagements to the coun-
try ; that he has shown very good sport, and is entitled
to the thanks of all members of the hunt." It was then
decided that at the close of the season the hunt should
close and the hounds be sold.
