REMARKS.

The increase of atmospherical pressure has continued at almost all
our stations since yesterday. In the S. of Ireland, however, a slight
diminution has occurred since last evening ; but readings in these
islands are remarkably uniform. The lowest pressure appears to be
in the S. of France. Temperature has decreased considerably in the
N. and W. ; elsewhere there is little change. At our eastern stations
a light north-easterly breeze prevails ; but in other parts tha wind
has become very light and variable. The weather is cloudy, witli fq;
and mist in places.

A desperate combat took place a night or twO -age
at Anvers letween tome Env.lish and Swedish sailors.
Several were wounded on both sides. The police at length
put an end to the conflict.

The Gaulois of Thursday states that the French
Government manufactories hero aro busy making breech-
loaders for the Austrian army. This piece of intelligence,
if allowed to remain uncontradicted, will not be without
gravity.

A sad accident from the effect of intoxication Is
reported from a village near Bath. An old man and his
wife were on their way home, when they both fell within a
few yards of each other, and, being unable to rise, both
perished on the spot from exhaustion.

The Birmingham Daily Post, referring to a para-
graph it. the Pall Mall Gazette to tho effect that Mr. Bright
will not take office in the forthcoming Liberal Ministry,
says—" We can state no person—and, certainly, no news-
paper—has any authority whatever to speak of Mr. Blight's
intentions in this matter."

During the progress of the inquiry in Cork as to
the firing from the window of Mr. Richardson, tho gun-
maker, it has transpired that the first to fire from the house
was a constable, placed within for its protection. Mr.
Richardson only fired when the mob endeavoured to force
their way in to seize the arms in the establishm3nr.

The Hon. C. L. Wood, the President of the
English Church Union, has explained that Dr. Swo.boy at-
tended the Bennett inquiry at London House at his request
to watch tho proceedings, and that no responsibility can at-
tach to Mr. Bennett in consequence of anything that may
have been said by the learned counsel. Mr. Bennett has
taken no notice whatever of the proceedings.

Mr. Gladitone w!ites yet another letter. IL
answer to an inquiry on the subject of the Maynooth Grant
t.nd the liegiuni Donum, Mr. GlaJstone says :--- "Not only
my own declarations upon (very occasion, but the resolution
unanimously passed by the House of Commons, binds me in
honour, as I am bound in purpose and conviction, to pro-
pose that the Regium Donum and Idaynooth Grant should
Le wound up, and r hould ceise with the Church &tallish
matt. Can words go further?"

OuWednesday the centnony of laying the cornerstone
of the works in connection with the restoration of Chester
Cathedral was performed ly the dean and chapter. In the
course of his address, the dean, who is the originator of the
restoration scheme, expresEed the hope that the ceremony
they had engaged in would not be confined to a revival of
the external fabric of the cathedral, believing that the time
was rapidly coming when the cathedrals of our land were
.ikely to become more popular, because they were likely to
become mot.c useful.
