REMARKS.

The rapid increa-e in pressure noticed in the north yesterday after-
noon has become very remarkable, and extended to all stations except
Toulon. At Leith the rise has been greatest, and amounts to 1.15 in,
since yesterday morning. Pressure is, however, still highest in th
8. W., and the reading at Yarmouth is o'4oin. lower than that at
Brest. Temperature has decreased generally, and is low in the N.B.
The gales of yesterday, after veering to the N. and N.E., have sub-
sided during the night. This morning N.W. winds are reported
everywhere, except in the west—moderate in these islands, but strong
In France. In Ireland the wind has backed, but is light. Rain has
been general, with snow and hail in the N.E. and E., thunder and
aghtning at Roches Point. The sky this morning is clear in the
K.E., but it is again raining in the W. The sea is not high. Weathers
tv not at all settled yet. Warnings renewed to-day,

Mr. Watkin Edwards, the official asiignco of the
Court of Bankruptcy, whose disclosures in the case of
Overend, Gurney, and Co., created so great a sensation,
has been dismissed by the Lord Chancdlor.
