REMARKS.

The rapid increase of pressure noticed yesterday has been suc-
ceeded by a decrease, which showed itself; yesterday afternoon ; the
change has been greatest on our N. and W. coasts. Considerable
differences now exist in pressures, the reading at Nairn being 0.6 inch
less than that at Portsmouth. Pressure in the S. of France is high,
Temperature has risen on all coasts : the rise is 13 deg. at Nairn, and
10 deg. at Weymouth. A sudden gale from the S.S.W. set in last
evening on our N. and W. coasts: its extreme force was felt early
this morning at most static ns. At Cape Clear a westerly gale is
reported as now blowing with a high sea, but winds elsewhere have
moderated, and are fresh from the S.W. Rain has been general,
chiefly on the Irish coast, and continues on the Channel coast. The
sky is cloudy, and the weather appears unsettled.

The address presented to the Revolutionary Junta by the
English residents at Madrid lacked nothing in respect of
promptitude. It is dated September 29th, and must,
therefore, have been drawn up immediately the success of
the revolution was made known. It is as follows :
" The British subjects residing at Madrid hasten, on
their part, to congratulate the city of Madrid on the occa-
sion of the birth of the new nation and of the revolution
which has been accomplished in so splendid a manner
without effusion of blood. Ages have passed since the
people of England were forced to raise the cry of `Long
live liberty !' and since then they have not ceased to
prosper. Such is the future reserved for Spain." In its
reply the Junta declared that a new nation had that day
been born, which would cordially stretch its hand to the
English people who gained their liberty two centuries ago.
" The Austrians and Bourbons stifled our vitality. Now
we are emerging from the ditch into which they had hurled
us. The Junta thanks the noble sons of Albion."

Amid the wildest speculation as to the future govern.
ment of the country, affairs at Madrid are gradually
shaping themselves into order. The Ministry, like every-
thing else connected with the revolt, has been
made the subject of the most conflicting state-
ments, but it is certain that Serrano will have
much power in the Provisional Government. His
appointment as commander-in-chief of the armies is very
important, and indeed constitutes him for the time being
Protector of Spain. Whether he will prove competent is
yet an open question. He is of advanced age—nearly
70—and, like almost all Spanish politicians, has sided
with more than one party. It is impossible to tell whether
a leading Spaniard will turn out a patriot or a despot if he
gain supreme power. Serrano's long political career
affords no data to judge of what he is likely to do now
save that in this revolt he has hitherto done well.

The Moniteur announces that a decree of the Junta
charges Serrano with the formation of a Ministry for the
Provisional Government until the meeting of the Cortes.

Indian frontier relates not-so much to the present as to
the future. Twenty thousand troops, which are now
The real question as to the troubles on the north-west
massed in the disaffected quarter, defy the action of the
natives for the present. But how long this force will be
required in its new quarters, or how long it will suffice to
keep down D. war, are alike doubtful. The Times Cal-
cutta correspondent apprehends very speedy fighting. It
is clear that the more decisive policy adopted by the
Indian Government is much needed. What is called a
conciliatory policy has produced twenty-three expeditions
in twenty years, and left the difficulties worse than ever.
The force employed, too, has always been found insuffi-
cient ; at least, if we may judge by the fact that of late
years it has greatly increased. In 1850 3,200 men were
sent to the frontier ; this force fell to 700 in 1852, but rose

LINCOLNSHIRE FARMING.—III no county in Eng-
land do farmers' sons go more thoroughly into the practi-
cal work of a farm than in Lincolnshire, where they ire"
queutly contend amongst each other for the honour of
clipping sheep in the best style, thatching stacks, plougli:
ing, &c. At Langrick, near Boston, on Thursday last, to
the All-England-Ploughing Match, several farmers' SOO
competed, and after doing some first-class work that pra°
Used champions might well be proud of, the honours were
carried off by Mr. Henry Goodyear, with one of Messro.
Ransome's ploughs, against seven competitors. Consider'
able additional interest was created by the fact that he had
against him the Mr. Creasey who ploughed for Messrs
Cloward at the Leicester meeting of the Royal Society
We understand Messrs. Rausome's ploughs were success-
ful in winning five All-England matches during last Weet.
