REMARKS.

Itmospherical pressures yesterday had risen on all coasts-.
principally in the If. ; but this morning a diminution is again shewn
at a:1 stations, of largest extent on our S. coast. Pressures are generally
uniform, the highest over these islands are on the E. coast. Tempera-
ture Is a little higher in southern districts. Winds have been
generally light to moderate from the S.W. : they are this morning
variable, being westerly in the N. and easterly in the S. At the
entrance of the channel it is calm. The 'weather is cloudy. Mist is
reported from our E. coast.

The news from Victoria is not at all reassuring. Tho
" deadlock " which has so long prevailed in the colony has
hot come to an end, but is rather in a state of still more
hopeless entanglement. When the Houses met, on the
29th of May, the Governor's speech, which was very short,
did not contain a single allusion to the Darling grant. The
entire omission of this subject caused great dissatis.
faction, and, says the Times correspondent, "drew down
the hearty condemnation of the new Ministry by friends
and foes alike." During the first debate on the Address
)f the Assembly, Mr. Walsh, a new member, moved, as
an amendment, that the Darling grant should be dealt
with by the Government. He urged that the faith of the
country was pledged to the grant, and that it had prece-
dence in point of time over other votes. The amendment
was carried without a division, and the Address of the
Assembly, as thus modified, presented. The most impor-
tant part of it alluded to the communication from the
Colonial Secretary in England, in which the Governor
is directed not to recommend to the Legislative
Assembly the vote to Lady Darling, " except on a clear
understanding that the grant should be brought before,
another branch of the Legislature in a particular form.'
The Address considered this a violation of the consti-
tutional right of the Legislative Assembly. The Assembly
would not consent to such a course, but would reserve the
question for " free discussion and final settlement within
this Chamber." The Address further ins7sted upon the
immediate settlement of the Darling grant, and declared that
it would withhold its confidence from any Administration
that might seek to evade a decision. The Governor, in reply,
urged the co-operation of all three branches of the Legis-
lature, and in his last sentence trusted " that the Legislature
would not desire that the essential offices of the Executive
Government should be vacated while the pressing neces-
sities of the State were unprovided for." A long discussion
followed, and the Assembly carried a series of six resolu-
tions, praying that the Governor would remove his now
advisers. The Governor declined, and there the matter
rests. The Opposition resist the Executive as much as
Possible, and the embroglio is worse than ever.
The Havas and the Reuter telegraphic agencies are
directly at issue on the subject of Spanish affairs.
M. Reuter the other day telegraphed to the effect that
insurrectionary movements had taken place in certain
parts of the country. The Haves Agency denies this, and
repeats the stereotype statement that the most complete
tranquillity prevails throughout the kingdom. It must
not, however, be forgotten that the Ilavas Agency only
sends " ofcial det-patches." It is certain that the Count
de Cheste has been sent in great haste back to Barcelona, the
military command of which city ho resigned but a few
days ago. The Count de Cheste is considered the sword
and shield of the Spanish Government, and his sudden
departure from Madrid can hardly be deemed mir-

It has been announced by telegraph that Prince Alen
ander Karageorgewitch was arrested at resth on Satur
day. It was not stated for what offence, but the only
feasible conclusion is that he is to be banded over to the
serv/AP authorities, Strange are the relations betweec
states, This arrest points to intimate relations between
