REMARKS.

Barometrical pressures are now low in the south and south-west:
the diminution which has been general since yesterday, has been
greatest on our S. and E. coasts. In the S.W. of Ireland a small in-
crease has occurred since last evening, but readings in that district
are less by four-tenths of an inch than that at Nairn, whilst at Brest
pressure is less by half an inch. Temperature has risen on our N. and
E. coasts. A strong wind from the south-eastward prevailed yester-
day on our S. and W. coasts. Winds continue generally from the
eastward over these islands, and are fresh on the Irish coast, but
moderate in the Channel. On the W. coast of France a south gale—
force 9—is now blowing. Heavy rain has fallen in Ireland and on ihe
Channel coast, and rain is still falling at Portsmouth and Brest. The
weather is overcast or cloudy.

The Austrian Government is acting with the greatest
vigour against the opposition of the provincial Diets. The
Governor of Galicia, who has just visited the capital, has
carried back to Lemberg, the positive instructions of the
Government to dissolve the Diet if it passes any resolution
hostile to the new constitution. The Tyrol Diet is in
similar jeopardy. It appears disposed to avoid putting the
new scholastic law into execution. By this law the clergy
were deprived of the absolute control of Austrian educa-
tion ; and it is the clerical p ty t' at prompts the resist•
ance.

Mr. George Peabody inten Is to purchase an estate
in the neighbourhood of re t'i, and will reside
part of next year in the Hungaliaa capital. On
his estate he will build a large steam mill, in
which only grain for export will be cc nve 'e I int) flour.
According to the correspondent of the Post, the ce!ebra'
American citizen felt so attracted by the famous Hunga-
rian patriot, Francis Deak, that he entered into corre•
spondence with him, and did not take the resolution to
become a landed proprietor of Hungary until he had asked
Desk's advice on the subject.

Eastern affairs, says the Berlin correspondent of the
Times, are exciting much attention in Prussia. This
writer alleges that, according to direct intelligence from
Bucharest, there is no doubt that the Bulgarian bands are
chilly organised, not, indeed, by the French Government,
but by agents of the French war party. Nor is there any
particular care taken to conceal the truth, for a Bucharest
paper which is the Moniteur of the rebellion is in the
habit of representing France and Austria as the angels of
oppressed nationalities. The Russian organs dare not
oppose a movement which they have so long aided, but, as
R issia is without an ally for offensive purposes, these
journals are careful not to add fuel to the flames. The
same writer adds that the insurrection consists of a few
insignificant bands skulking among the hills. This esti-
mate is probably true, but the statement that the
" cause " is supported by French agency would be none the
worse for a little confirmation.

The "Provisional Bulgarian Government" has pub-
lished a memoir setting forth that it is only the intolerable
tyranny of the Turkish Government which has given rise
to the present movement. It is not the object of the
Bulgarian party to expel the Turks from Constantinople ;
all that is desired is, that Bulgaria should have an inde•
pendent national Government similar to that existing in
Servia and Roumania. As a proof of this assertion, the
memoir refers to the rebellion in Crete, of which the
Bulgarians disdained to take advantage, in order not to
embarrass the Turks.

Major Palliser has sbewn himself the gentleman we
believed him to be. He has written to the Morning Post
as follows : "My attention having been drawn to an
inaccuracy of which I appear to have been guilty in my
speech at Devonport, by attributing to Mr. Gladstone the
words ' apostate Senate and recreant State,' as applied to
those who might encompass the disestablishment and
disendowment of the Irish Church, after all the oaths
which had been sword and all the pledges which had
been given to the contrary, I eould feel obliged if you
will allow me to express my great regret for having quoted,
as Mr. Gladstone's, words which bad been uttered by

THE_ Kin QF PRUSSIA'S SPEEOH AT

.KIEL.

The following is the full text of the remarks of the King
of Prussia in reply to the address of the rector of Lude-
mann University. The address was strongly in favour of
peace :—" As respects your wishes on that head, no
person can share in them more thoroughly than
I ; because for a sovereign the necessity is
painful, and forms a responsibility towards God
of finding himself compelled to pronounce the
fatal word war.' And yet circumstances do sometimes
arise in which a prince cannot and ought not to withdraw
himself from that obligation. You have seen with your
own eyes here, that the necessity of hostilities may
sometimes force itself on a monarch as well as a
nation. If between us there exists a bond of con-
fidence and friendly sentiments, we owe this to
war. For the rest, I do not see throughout Europe
anything threatening to disturb peace, and I say so
openly in order to tranquillise you. But that which
may assure you still more is the appearance here of the
representatives of my army and navy, that strength of
the country which has proved that it does not fear to
accept and carry to a successful termination a struggle
when forced on it."

EXTAORDINARY COURTING ADVENTURE
NEAR NOITINGIIAM.

At the Nottingham Shire Hall, George Bradley was
charged with entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Cooper,
with intent to commit a felony. The prosecutor is a
farmer living at Burton Joyce, and has in his employ
as a domestic servant a young woman named Harriet
Parr, with whom the prisoner was deeply in love. Dur-
ing the night of Tuesday week the inmates of the house
were greatly alarmed at hearing a lumbering noise
in the chimney. Two of them got up, and often
instituting a vigilant search discovered the prisoner, who
had come down the chimney, lying with his face on the gar-
ret floor. He was without his coat, and was partly covered
with soot. The constable of the parish was called to appre-
hend him, and in answer to the charge he said that he had
got on the top of the house (which is above three storeys
high) for the purpose of throwing "his Polly" some money
down the chimney, when he tumbled down himself. Pri-
soner, before the bench, denied entering the house to com-
mit a felony; be said he only wanted to see "his Polly,"
who had borne him a child. The Bench said they should
have to make further inquiries, and remanded the prisoner
for a week.

STRUGGLE BETWEEN A MURDERER AND
TEE POLICE.-TWO LADIES SHOT.

On the morning of the 2nd instant, M. Charles
Antoine, proprietor, aged 31, residing at Plain-
fainz, in the Vosges, fired at his wife, the bullet pene-
trating the right arm. He then Bred at his wife's cousin,
Paule Claude, aged 17, the ball passing through her
body. On information reaching the police•station, a
body of gendarmes repaired to the spot, and after send-
ing the wounded woman to a doctor's house they
proceeded to arrest the murderer; They found
him armed to the teeth and barricaded. When he
saw the gendarmes approaching he said : "Do not
approach ; my double-barrelled gun is loaded, and also
my double-barrelled pistol. I warn you that I will kill
four before I yield." Seeing that he was determined
not to surrender, Bizot gave orders to the police
to load. Viry and Bourreau, followed by a police
commissioner, entered the house whilst Bizot and Cliny
watched the only passage by which Antoine could escape.
Antoine fired twice through the flooring of the first story,
but the bullets remained imbedded in the wood. The
gendarmes replied by two shots. The police commissioner
then ordered some straw to be lighted, which forced
Antoine to come to the window, from which he fired two
shots at Bizot and Cliny. He was fired at in return, and
was hit on the left side and in the arm. But he managed to
escape down a cellar where it was dangerous to pursue him.
A fresh fire was kindled near the mouth of the cellar, but
fearing that he would be suffocated, Viry and the police.
commissioner boldly descended into the cellar and seized
the murderer after a sharp struggle, although he was
half dead from the fumes. The struggle between
Antoine and the police continued for some hours. The
young lady died of her wound at half-past seven in the
evening. No cause is assigned for the commission of these
crimes.

A yacht near Sligo has been run into by a steamer
and split in two. Eight persons were immersed in the
water, but were rescued by the crew of a herring-boat.

Two men returning from Hampton races drove
so recklessly that they ran against a heavy cart and
were overturned. They were taken to the hospital in a
dying condition.
Queen Mohely has returned to her own country
after having travelled many thousands of leagues in the
hope of obtaining an audience of the Emperor of the French,
which she was obliged to give up because the Emperor de-
lined to receive her.

A singular and distressing accident has oc-
curred near Newcastle. A grocer residing at Washington
was at dinner with his family, when a bottle of diamond oil
was upset and ignited. The house also took fire, and one
of the children was suffocated, and all the other persons in
the house were injured.
At the Barnsley court-house, nine miners were
charged with assaulting William Lewis, a non-unionist
miner. The offence consisted in throwing rubbish in the
complainant's face, and in threatening to duck him in a
pond. The accused had previously asked complainant
whether he intended to jay to the union. The bench dis-
charged two, committed three for 21 days, one for 14, and a
boy for 48 hours on bread and water.
Members of Parliament sometimes find themselves
in peculiar, if not anomalous, positions. The Marquis of
Hartington and Colonel Wilson Patten, who are just enter-
ing upon a stiff electioneering campaign in North Lanca-
shire, on opposite sides, met on Tuesday at the festive
board of the Blackpool and Fylde District Agricultural As-
sociation, when they "improved the occasion" by bantering
each other with such downright good humour that the ex-
ample must have been contagious.
At the re-opening of Princes Risborough parish
church, on Tuesday last, there was a great gathering of
clergymen and others, when the Bishop of Oxford preached.
The preacher in his discourse referred to the "groat strong
hulking men who came to church and were too lazy to kneel."
His experience of that diocese extended to a quarter of a
century, and its prevailing sin was to treat the Deity as
being patronised by them when they came to prayer, and
especially so when they came to the Holy Communion. His
lordship then denounced the old four-cornered pews as har-
bours for laziness.

A letter from Rome mentions a savage incident
that occurred as the Papal troops were on their way from the
camp to Rome. A Dutch Zouave entered a vineyard to
gather some grapes, and received a musket ball, fired close
to him, and inflicting a very dangerous wound. At the re-
port his comrades spread themselves over the vineyard, and,
having fallen in with two persons, left them for dead on the
spot, in spite of their protestations of innocence. The vine-
yard was set on fire in several places and completely con-
sumed.

Lord Lisle has written to the Cork Examiner on
the evils of absenteeism. Session after session com-
plaints are made that the House of Commons is
not legislating for Ireland, but the " real cause of
the misgovernment of the country is lost sight
of." Absenteeism is, in Lord Lisle's opinion, " the
primary cause of the present unsatisfactory state of things."
He begs the absentee landlords of Ireland to " come forward,
and do their duty to their God, to their country, and to
themselves."

A private telegram has been received by the
friends of the Bishop of Montreal announcing his death. The
Most Reverend the Metropolitan of the Canadian Church
was born in 1803. Was Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford;
successively rector of Trowbridge, Rector of Croydon, Cam-
bridgeshire, and Minister of Curzon Chapel, in Mayfair. In
the year 1850 he was consecrated to the See of Montreal,
and became the first Metropolitan on the Canadian Church
being formed into a province in 1860. Dr. Fulford was a
prelate of rare gifts and temper, and of great administrative
power.

yard, Bermondsey, when, in attempting to clear a truck
in the road, the deceased pulled his horse too far across the
road just as another vehicle came along, and they came
into collision. The deceased and his friend were thrown to
the ground, and the former received such fearful injuries
as to cause his death. There being no blame on either

side, a verdict of accidental death was returned.
DEATH OF MR. GARD, FORMERLY M. P. FOR
EXETER.—Mr. Richard Sommers Gard, Conservative
M.P. for Exeter from 1857 to 1865, died on Wednesday,
at Monkton, near Honiton, aged 73. Mr. Gard for many
years lived the life of a private gentleman, occupying a
charming estate, Rougemont, Exeter, and dispensing gift.,
freely to needy persons and benevolent institutions. Mr.
Gard was first elected for Exeter at the general electon of
1857, when he was returned unopposed, as also in 1859
and in 1865 he retired, being succeeded by Lord Courtenay
after a close contest. Mr. Gard was a staunch Conserva

and urbanity won general and - r_eßects7l7o4-.7

THE MARQUIS OF BU? ES BIRTHDAY

FESTI VITIES.

CARDIFF, Sept. 17.
The speech of the Marquis of Bute at the work-
ing men's dinner yesterday has created no small
sensation in Cardiff. His lordship said :
" He should presume, by the kindness which had
peen so generally shown him, to call them by the
aame cf friends. He asked them to believe him
when he told them that when he came into this
great town, when he saw the number of the fami-
lies that were nourished by its prosperity, when he
considered what the hopes were which they had
formed of him, and when he thought of the great
regard which, for his father's sake, they had hon-
oured him—(cheers)—when he thought of the
power which he might have for doing good or
evil to many of them, when his self-knowledge
showed him his few years of life, and the duties,
inexperience, weakness, and his many faults, and
his loneliness, he could tell them that the weight of
the responsibility upon him seemed sometimes
almost crushing ; but he was determined to the
very utmost of his ability to do his duty tow. ard3
this place through the whole of his life—(cheers)---
and he trusted that the working men would help
him. (A Voice—" We will.") The way in which
they had welcomed him into this place and invited
him there was, he assured them, a great support
and encouragement to him in the beginning of life.
What he felt he could not tell any one how deeply
he felt it. (Cheers.) He took this meeting as 3
pledge, as a true token to him, that the trades
people and working men of Cardiff would give him
the right hand of fellowship in the work which they
had to do for this place. They must work for the
increase of Cardiff, not alone for wealth and power,
and for success in the enterprise which had been
begun—they must work for the increase of know-
ledge and purity. (Cheers.) They must endeavour,
as far as in them lay, to ameliorate as far as they
could the misery, crime, and sin which surrounded
them. (Cheers). They must endeavour so to work
that when that night came in which no man can
work that it might be possible for them to say that
they had done what they could. At his time of
life hopes were strong, and he believed that while
that feeling existed between them and him which
he desired should exist, and which he took this meet-
ing also as a token that they desired should exist'
he did not believe they would work in vain. There-
fore it was with very deep feelings that he thanked
them for inviting him there that day, and he hope"'
he saw in this meeting the first of many sirnitit/re
meetings —(cheers)—by which he hoped to gain
°
himself their friendship, and by and by their respect;
(Cheers.) He saw in this a pledge from them tiltt
they would work together in the determination ha.
had come to—by God's grace to do his duty to thu
best of his ability for this place."
At the county dinner to the marquis last evenings
there was a slight alarm of fire. The gas caught _
portion of the decorations, and in an instant one
end of the roof seemed to be ablaze. The comPael,
were just seated at table, and there was a natural:
nervousness which might have terminated in a rus
to the doors but for the self-command of some
gentlemen near the entrance. The woodwork GI
the roof, however, only caught fire very slightlie; t
