REMARKS.

Ile changes iu pressure yesterday were sudden and of considerable
extent A limited area of low pressure passed up the English
Channel, the minimum reading passing Yarmouth at about 6 P.m.
The fall and subsequent rise were very rapid—the latter amounting
to 01 in. A considerable increase has also taken place at all our
western stations. The highest reading is now at Valencia, and is
o'6l in. above that at Nairn. No continental reports have come in
11.15 a.m. Temperature has recovered somewhat in the N. and W., but
has fallen considerably in the S.E., where it is now lowest. The
winds along the Channel coast freshened to a gale from S.W., and
veered towards N., blowing harder. At Yarmouth the wind backed
through east to N.N.E., and blew a strong galetill 8 p.m. These winds
were preceded by the fogs of the last two days. Winds (except in
Scotland) are now generally north-westerb and are fresh in the S.W,
but light elsewhere. Rain has been general exec...tit in the N.E.; and
at Yarmouth it was very heavy. This morning th• weather' net'
and the sea moderate ; but the sudden increase of pressurl :hews
that weather is still unsettled. Warnings were issued last evening.

The petition against Mr. Loch, the Liberal mem-
Ler for the Wick Burghs, has been withdrawn by Mr.
Lockyer.

The formal election of Dr. Wordsworth as Bishop

Cardinal Cullen visited the Lord Lieutenant an
the Countess of Spencer at Dublin Castle on Thursday

The Law Times states that it is the intention of the

maica case into a court of error.

The Kamerad of Vienna contains melancholy news.
It is to the effect that the hereditary Grand Duke of Russia
is attacked with the same malady which carried off his elder
brother at Nice.

The Bishop of Salisbury remains in much the same
state. There is not the slightest improvement, according o
the medical report. The right rev. prelate remains in town

Another case in which a Roman. Catholic bishop is
concerned is likely to come before the courts. Dr. Ulla_
thorn°, the Bishop of Birmingham, in a recent pastoral made
soma injurious remarks upon a Roman Catholic paper called
the Universal News, and the proprietor has served his lord-
ship with a writ for
The Illa»chester Guardian sates that the rumour
to the effect that the leaders of the Conservative party
wished the Wigan petition to be withdrawn is without foun-
dation. The petition is being prosecuted with the appro-
val of all tho principal men among the Conservatives in the
borough.
The Lancetsays : —We are given to understand that
the rumour of the disestablishment of the Army Medical
School, and the reduction in the number of the professors, was
entirely without foundation. The reductions about to be ef-
fected in our North American garrisons will necessarily in-
volve some similar charges in the medical department. It
is likewise very probable that Mr. Cardwell will
Feok to limit the force serving in the Mauritius
as much as possible. Amongst the various rumours oircui
lated of late was one to the effect that the store department of
the War-office—the establ!ahment at Pimlico, we presume—.

the Herbert Hospital. With tho accession to the strongth
