REMARKS.

The slight increase in pressure on our N.E. coast yesterday after-
noon soon terminated, and since last night a decrease has occurred.
On our other coasts the diminution has been considerable, and
amounts to almost half an inch in the S. of Ireland. On the W.
coast of France readings, though higher than they were yesterday
morning, are lower than they were last evening. Readings are very
low at all our stations, especially in the S. of Ireland. Temperature
has changed variably. Strong south-westerly gales prevailed on our
Channel day, attai ing their greatest force
early
have slightly moderated, bu` con-
same quarter. A decrease in violence has also

has been general.

A correspondent at Gibraltar gives some particulars o,
Prim's journey from England. Ho left Southampton in
a steamer of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and
reached Gibraltar on the morning of the 17th. He was dis-
guised as a valet, and travelled in the suite of a Swedish
Count. He was accompanied by another emigre, who
was his fellow-servant. During the voyage the pseudo
valet remained in the background, but other passengers
have since recollected that when off their guard both master
and man appeared to be on strange terms of intimacy. On
embarking at Southampton the Count complained in
strong terms of the second-class accommodation, and
insisted on his valet being furnished with a cabin in the
saloon. A steamer awaited the arrival of the mail from
Southampton, to which General Prim and his friends
were transhipped at once without going on shore. Had
be landed great risk would have been incurred, as he must
assuredly have been recognised, as he is well known in this
fortress. The same evening the vessel in which the con-
spirators were embarked proceeded to Cadiz. They
were anxiously expected, and that same night were
taken round to all the men-of-war lying in Cadiz Bay, in
order to announce by their actual presence the good news
of their arrival. By some means or other, rumours of the
expected visit of Prim had got abroad at Cadiz on the 17th,
and that evening a eat ding demonstrations were mad(
by the populace. These were suppressed by the autho•
ties, the streets were cleared, and next morning the mili-
tary governor took over the government, proclaiming the
town in a state of siege. Cadiz was very restless through.
out that morning, but about noon the action taken by the
fleet put an end to all uncertainty. About 1 p.m. the six war-
vessels and two gunboats under the command of Topete
formed across the bay and closed the port. This act was
followed by a salute of twenty-one guns fired by all
the men-of-war, the crews manning yards and cheer-
ing vociferously. The excitement on shore naturally
grew apace. The soldiers were called upon to pro-
nounce, and responded unanimously. Prim and
Topete landed early on the 19th, and took possession of
Cadiz in the name of the Revolution. A proclamation
was issued by Prim as " general in chief," in which he
announced that he had formed a Provisional Junta.
Seville fell without a blow. The commanding officer
attempted to rally the troops, but they pronounced for
Prim. Thereupon he remarked that he did not seem
wanted, to which the troops assented, and so he made his
way to Gibraltar with a cocked hat and a revolver. At
Algesiras the commanding officer, finding that the
troops were unanimous, joined in declaring for the rev°.
lotion.

What qualifies a man for a vote? Many different answers
have been given within the last fortnight. Here a
married man, living in his father's house, is disqualified
because he does -not lock his door against his father;
there one is disqualified because his brother possesses a
latch-key ; and again the great test applied to each lodger
claim is, whether the claimant has a key of the street-
door. At Liverpool a clergyman claimed ai the
receiver of certain pew-rents. It was argued by the
objectors that the pew-rents did not constitute a revenue,
a stipend, or a benefice. The claimant, it was contended,
had no legal right to exact pew-rents, and, therefore, his
claim fell to the ground. It having being shown that the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners had contributed towards the
fund for making a portion c the q thrchkm 4182
