REMARKS.

The changes in barometrical readings since Saturday have been
very rapid, the decrease amounting to nearly an inch. In the N. and
W. pressure has begun to recover itself since yesterday, but readings
►t all stations are nearly uniformly low, the least reported being at
Scarborough, while that at Rochefort is only Olin. higher ; there Is
accordingly not much wind this morning. Temperature yesterday' • •
ucreased very much on our E. coast ; it has decreased to-day.

The Bombay Ga:ette says the news is now con-
firmed that the Viceroy is to have an interview at
Peshawur with the Ameer of Afghanistan, Shere Ali
Khan. There will be a grand durbar, to which not only
the frontier chiefs, but those of the whole Punjaub will be
Invited ; and not less than twenty thousand troops are to
be present. The meeting is to take place, it is said, in
December.

The election of the sixteen representative peers
f Scotland will take place in Holyrood House on the 10th
December next. With amusing quaintness the royal pro-
tiamation enjoins the magistrates of EdinLurgh "to take
special care to preserve the peace thereof during the time
of the said election, and to prevent all manner of riots,
tunlults, disorder, and_ violence whatsoever." This Is
iefio hi 66 gie_;y
