REMARKS.

the changes in 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 o'7 in. A considerable increase has also taken place at all our
western station,. 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 gale till 8 p.m. These winds
were preceded by the fogs of the last rwo days. Winds (except in
Scotland) are now generally north-wester'; and are fresh in the S.W,
but light elsewhere. Rain has been general excolt in the and
at Yarmouth it was very heavy. This morning tla• weather'
and the sea moderate ; but the sudden increase of pressurti hews
that weather is still unsettled. Warnings were issued last evening.

The petition against Mr. Loch, the Lil-_,eral mem-

maica case into a court of error.

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

The Bishop of Salisbury remains in much the same
state. There is not the slightest improvement, according a
the medical report. The right rev. prolate remains in town
for the benefit of medical advice.

Another case in which a Roman Catholic bishop Is
concerned is likely to come before the courts. Dr. Ulla-
thorns, the Bishop of Birmingham, iu a recent pastoral made
soma injurious remarks upon a roman Crtholic paper called
the L'mversal News, and the proprietor has served his lord-
ship with a writ for libel.

The Manchester Guardian sates that the rumour
to the effect that the leaders of the Conservativo party
wished the Wigan petition to bo withdrawn is without foun-
dation. Tho petition is being prosecuted with the appro-
val of all the 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 bo ef-
fected in our North American garrisons will necessarily in..
Volvo some similar charges in the medical department. It
is likewise very probable that Mr. Cardwell will
seek to limit the force serving in the Mauritlui
as much as possible. Amongst the various rumours circui
lated of late was one to tho effect that the store department o
the War-office—the establishment at Pimlico, we presume—.
was to be removed to. Woolwich, with the view of occupying
the lierbort ilospitel.,v- With the accession to the strength
of th!) Wool*toh gerifion, it is more than 'probable thel
