REMARKS.

Atmospherical pressures are more uniform this morning, and
readings are generally high, shewing an increase during the last
twenty-four hours of more than three-tenths of an inch at most
stations. In the south of Ireland the change since yesterday has
been less, and pressures there have remained a'most unaltered since
last evening. On the western coasts temperature has risen : elsewhere
not much change has occurred. The north-westerly gale prevailing
yesterday in the south of Ireland and England has moderated : light
and variable winds are now general in these islands. At Rochefort
and Toulon a northerly gale is blowing ; but at Biarritz, as yesterday
the gale is from the westward. The weather is generally fine. Fog
prevails on the south coast of Ireland.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has left Adding-
ton Park for the Continent. He will be absent from
England six or eight weeks.

THE BISHOP OF WIN CHESTER. —The Right
Rev. Dr. Suinner, Bishop of Winchester, has had another
alarming attack of paralysis, and the most serious appre-
hensions are entertained. His lordship is at Eastbourne,
surrounded by the members of his family.
Amongst the many ornaments which were pre-
sented to 11rIadlle. Patti, on the occasion of her marriage
with the Marquis de Caux, was a very handsome and
beautifully-executed arabesque pendant, composed of
pearls, diamonds, and large turquoise, with enamelled
scrolls, suspended from a large gold chain, and was the
gift of Signor Mario ; also a pair of very large and hand-
some gold and coral pendant earrings, the pendants being
formed of coral about two inches in length, carved in the
shape of Etruscan vases, with festoons, the top being
formed of gold, with a solid carved coral bull's head, and
were formerly in the possession of the Queen of Naples.
These were the gift of Madame Grisi.
MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OF Two GIRLS. —On Tues-
day two girls, named Elizabeth Cridge and Jane Maker,
in the employ of Mr. B. Hawkins, a farmer, of Huntspill
were found drowned a short distance from the Sea-wall,
in a pond. It appears that on Sunday evening last they
retired to rest earlier than usual, and it is supposed that
they went up one flight of stairs and came down another,
and thus made their escape from the house unknown to
anyone. On Monday morning they were both missing,
and though every effort was made to trace their where-
abouts, it was unsuccessful ; but on Tuesday, at mid-day,
a boy discovered one of their crinolines by the side of the
pond, and upon search being made the bodies were dis-
covered "hand in hand." They were then conveyed, one
to her home and the other to the Cross Keys Inn. The
cause of their committing suicide remains a mystery at
present ; full particulars will, there is no doubt, be forth-
coming at the coroner's inquest.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT A RAILWAY STATION. —A
fatal accident occurred at the railway station at Hartle-
bury, on Monday night, through want of caution. A harvest-
man, named Thos. Hunt, belonging to Kidderminster,was in
company with arother man, named Thos. Coyne, and
they had occasion to cross the line just as the express down
train was due. It runs between Droitwich and Kidder-
minster without stoppage, and passes Hartlebury at a
speed of from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour. The men
were aware of the approach of the train, and Coyne told
his companions not to attempt to cross the line. He went
on, however, crying out there was plenty of time. It was
a dark night, and Coyne surmised that Hunt had got safely
across, and gone on his way to the place they were both
intending to proceed to. He found on his arrival that
Hunt liad not appealed; and a search being made on the
line revealed the fact that the poor fellow had been killed
by the train. His skull was crushed off, and one of his
arms was picked up some eighteen yards from his body.
Neither the driver nor guard had perceived that the train
had been in contact with anything in passing through the
station. Deceased was 25 years of age.
The deputation from the city of Trieste has not been
very warmly received by the Austrian Minister of the
Interior. He did, indeed, grant the request of the deputa-
tion to make an inquiry into the late riots, but he refused
the abolition of the Slavonian civic guard, and its replace-
ment by a municipal body.
Dean Stanley writes to the Times protesting against the
removal of St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, which is
so much abused, as spoiling the proportions of West-
minster Abbey. He defends the church chiefly
on account of its " long historical existence on
this spot." There is another point, however,
of more importance in connection with Westminster
Abbey to which the Dean alludes. Every one knows
that the space allotted in the Abbey to the graves
and monuments of illustrious men is yearly becom-
ing more and more narrow. Everyone would
lament that within any conceivable period of time
this long connection of English history with Westminster
Abbey should cease. True, the Abbey is not yet filled.
There are still places, and there will for at least another
generation be places, for the famous Englishmen who can
be commemorated on no other spot so fitly as beneath its
roof. But still we must look forward to the future, and
for the future the provision is at once easy in itself.
Such provision (says the very rev. writer) might
easily be made by the erection of a cloister, which
should be connected with the Abbey by Poet's Corner, and
continued on the space behind Abingdon-street, facing
the Palace of Westminster on one side and the College
garden of the precincts of Westminster Abbey on the
other. This arrangement would well fall in with the resto.

towards its completion, and with the proposed change;
