REMARKS.

Since yesterday evening the decrease in pressure has been con-
tinued at all stations, and the fall since yesterday morning amounts
to nearly three-tenths of an inch at Yarmouth. Pressure, though
pretty uniform, is still highest in the south-east ; and the reading at
Cape Gris Nez is o'32in. above that at Greencastle. Temperature has
increased over England and France ; but in Scotland there has been
a fall of 10 deg., and readings there are rather low. Easterly winds
still continue on the west coast of France. In these islands light
south-westerly breezes are general, except in Scotland, where there is
hardly any wind. Rain has fallen fa the N. and W., and has been
heavy at Roche's Point. The sky is generally overcast in England
and Ireland, and clear in the N. of Scotland. A dense fog is reported
on our I.E. coast.

The Ganlois publishes the following telegram,
dated Pera, Saturday evening :—According to a paivate de-
spatch from Athens the Greek Government, under the pres-
sure of M. Bulgaria, has decided to refuse its adhesion to the
declaration drawn up by the Conference of Paris."

Mr. Walker, the great jeweller of Cornhill, has
never received his property, watches, jewellery, &c., which
were handed over to the authorities of the City of London,
at the time of the trial of the men who so impudeutly robbed
him. The watches were recovered from the felon, but have
since been held by the authorities. Mr. Walker has obtained
a rule from the Queen's Bench calling upon the Lord Mayer,
aldermen, &c., to show cause why they should not restore
the property.

The Queen of Belgium is decisively oprosed to the
embalming of her son. The loss of the Prince Royal has
been received with marks of sorrow and sympathy through-
out Europe ; at Berlin some fetes have been countermanded,
and the Princess Royal of England has gone into mourning;
and at Vienna the festivities in honour of the Prince and
Princess of Wales have also been abandoned. The Empe-
ror Napoleon has addressed a letter of condolence to the
King of the Belgians.

The Systematic Beneficence Society finds a warm
supporter in tho Premier. "1 cordially approve," says the
right hen. gentleman, in a letter to the secretary, "of the
principle involved in a combination, in which each person
binds himself simply to do this: to devote to the purposl of
alms—that is, as I understand it, of religion and benevolence
—a minimum proportion of his income. Ido not under-
stand that all need fix the same, nor that we need know
what ono another fixes ; and the only guarantee would be
in the honourable bond to fulfil a mutual engagement."

A chic( y do:der. named Joseph Hatfpld, carryin
0,1 Lus no s at 0 baldwick a village a few miles from
York, was swum ned on Saturday, bel.re the m;gis-
trates, by the officers of ti.e lulaud lievenue, for not hav-
ing paid the duty upon 509 en t. of chicory, The duty,
it appears, should be I aid immediately en removal from
the drying• kiln, or the manufacurer is liable to double
penalty. Upon the qutntity named the duty is £GI7
3s. 3d., a..d this amount nut having beeu paid, the

On S_v urday Mr. Price, Q.C., -who turtl.e such a
hopeleu3 light at in the Conservative interest at the
recent election, visited that borough, and had an interview
with some of the members of his committee in reference to
the expmso incurred in the contest. The Sheffield Indepen-
dent states that from the result of the interview it appears
that Mr. Price will have to p dearly for his whistle. It
Lad been rumoured that he would receive assistance to the
extent of £2,000 f:•ein the Carlton Club, but the absolute
sunt contributed by that body will be arrived at by dividing
£2,000 by two. In addition his local supporters have agreed
to raise amongst themselves, and from other sources, £3OO
leaving Mr. Price the sum of—a mere trifle to a Q.(l-7!
£2.897 10.1 d. to liquidate.
