REMARKS.

Since yesterday morning atmospherical pressure has increased
generally. The change is greatest in the north, where it exceeth
four-tenths, and decreases in a southerly direction, being scarcely
noticeable in the south of France. Temperature has not changed
much. The winds over our islands are principally north-westerly ;
but along the south coasts and in France they are light from E. and
N.E. The weather this morning is generally flue.

Writing from Canea under date June 9, the correspon-
dent of the Morning Herald says there has been some
severe skirmishing- in the neighbourhood, the number of
Turkish soldiers killed being estimated at between thirty
and forty. The insurgent chief, Ziml:rakraki, is supposed
to have embarked for Greece. The Turks still continue to
offer concessions to the Cretans on submission, but the
non-progressiveness of the Turks is so very apparent, and
their word worth so little, that their " concessions " are
only taken by the'Cretans as mere words having no mean-
ing. Foreign representatives in Crete have advised the
insurgents to lay down their arms. These are represented
as being much astonished at receiving this advice from
French, Russian, and Greek sources.

The " sick man ". seems to be doing uncommonly well
just now. On all hands he is receiving addresses of con
gratulation upon his renewed vigour. The Bulgarians,
who are popularly supposed to be always on the eve of
revolt, have just congratulated the Sultan upon granting
to his people the blessing of European institutions.
They say that there are none among all the
Sultan's subjects who have so much reason as
the Bulgarians have to bless their sovereign. " Before
you we were forgotten and oppressed. To-day the light
of prosperity is developing itself among us."

The new Prince of Servia is about 14, and is described
as very good-looking and elegant, with particularly fine
eyes and frank countenance. The Dowager Princess
Julia, widow of the murdered Prince Michael, refuses to
take any part in the government. A Council of Regency
will be appointed, which will include all political parties,
and thus, it is hoped, avoid partisan intrigues.
There seems to be a complete reign of terror at Ravenna.
The inquiry into the murder of the Government official
lately assassinated in the streets in broad daylight
has had no other effect than to prove that the witnesses
are afraid to say anything. They all declare that they
saw noCiing, and know nothing. Since this murder there
have been other crimes of violence perpetrated by armed
bands in the middle of the day. It is clear that the
Government has its work cut out here in the old Papal
province, as it had in Naples when putting down the
Camorra.

The Etendard says : " Our private advices represent a:
having a positive reality the preparations and the drilled
enrolments in. Central Italy, under the direction of
Kenotti Garibaldi. The Italian Government does not
appear, we are assured, to offer the smallest obstacle."
The report that Juarez had written a letter to the Pope
is confirmed. The President deplores the circumstance,
which have led to the diplomatic rupture between hit
Government and the Pontiff's, declares that his line o'
conduct towards the clergy is the result of pressure
which he could not resist ; but adds that, circumstances
being now changed, he will gladly receive the bishop
whom the Pope sends. The letter concludes with
request for the Papal benediction upon Mexico and hex
ruler. -

The Archbishop of York, thinking that the observatiot
in yesterday's Times, that " the good people at the
Mansion House were told the other day that the Lords
would not even be put to the trouble of a divisiot
upon the Suspensory Bill," was founded on a mis-
conception of his speech, writes to that journal
to say that what he stated was that the Lords
would not divide on Thursday, but his belief was that
they would devote several days to the subject. His Grace
meant to say that there would be a division, but not
without a prolonged and careful discussion.
Taking the elections during the last three years, the
balance is decidedly in favour of the Liberal party. They
have won eight seats—Aberdeenshire, Devonport (two),
Bridgwater, Petersfield, Waterford county, Coventry, and
South Leicester ; whilst the Conservatives have won
Bridgnorth, Sandwich, Helston, Brecon, Rutland,
and Cockermouth. When it is remembered, however, that
the counties of Aberdeen, South Leicester, and Waterford
were won in the face of all the territorial influence whichthe
['oryparty could bring to bear, it is evident that the Liberal
;sins are more significant than as a mere balance of eight
against six. The gains of the Liberals are the more re-
narkable when contrasted with the victories achieved by
he Conservatives from 1859 to 1865, which, despite all
Lord Pahnerston's popularity, averaged four seats every
ear.
THE GOVERNMENT AND MR. EYRE.—The fob
' owing is a copy of a letter sent by Lord Carnarvon to Mr.
',yre, respecting the payment of costs cf any criminal pro-
;eedings against the ex-governor of Jamaica. The com-
eunication is dated February 7, 1867:—" With regard to
he enormous expenditure which you state must be incurred

.vhich have been or which may be brought against you on
