REATAIIKS.

Barometrical pressures have altered very little since yesterday
morning ; the greatest change has been in the extreme north, whore
an increase of about Olin. is perceived. Since last evening, however, a
slight decrease is noted in the S.W. There is a difference between
readings at Nairn and Rochefort of four-tenths of an itch. Tem-
perature is nearly the same as yesterday. Winds have continued
easterly, and were fresh in the Channel, Lighter winds generally
prevail this morning, with a southerly tendency in Ireland. In th

ALLEGED IMPROPER CONDUCT AT AN
ELECTION.

At Marylebone Police-court yesterday a voter stepped into
the box and said he wished Mr. D'Eyncourt's advice undert
the following circumstances :—lfe wont to record his vote►
In the SL Mary's district, Bryanston-square. Ho told
tho poll-clerk most distinctly that he wished to have his vote
recorded for Sandwith and Grant. The clerk put his name
down, and on his (applicant) looking found it had been put
down as plumping for Mr. Chambers. Applicant told the
clerk of it, and he said it was a mistake, and altered
it. Mr. D'Eyncourt said perhaps it was an unintentional
mistake. Applicant said ho considered not, as he
had heard that several other voters had been served
the same. The clerk evidently did it for the purpose, as he
laughed in biA face. Mr. D'Eyuccurt told applicant that his
best course would be to lay his case before the committee of
the district, and they, no doubt, will demand a scrutiny.
Applicant—The declaration of the poll takes place at eleven
o'clock. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Go at once to your committee,
and then they will lay an information to the returning
officer, who perhaps will stop the declaration.

THE CHURCH PAPERS ON T 11.4 Ai'l; OINT-
MENTS.

The Guardian is satisfied with the episcopal appoint-
ments, It declares that the Bishop of London is one of
the ablest members of the episcopate ; he has political
judgment and capacity, is firm, and can be fair and con•
siderate. The Bishop of Lincoln's appointment will be
more satisfactory to the Low Churchparty than with extreme
Ritualists. Archdeacon Wordsworth's promotion is but
the recognition of long-enduring claims. Altogether, the
Guardian congratulates Mr. Disraeli on his selections.
The Church News of WedneSday thus comments on the
appointment to the Archbishopric of Canterbury:—" The
appointment of Dr. Tait, a strong Liberal and avowed Eras-
tian, to the Primacy of All England, by a ToryGovernment,is
certainly a heavy blow and great discouragement to all
Catholic Constitutionalists. When it is borne in mind,
however, how earnestly the supposed claims of the
Broad Church 'Father Claret' have been insisted on, the
diffieultieb of unfettered action on W. pro.. or,. part
may be better comprehended." In case Dr. Jackson is
elevated to the see of London the Church News threatens
Mr. Disraeli with the neutrality of the country clergy
during the elections.

The Rock rather highly approves the appointment, but
hopes that Dr. Tait, whose failings, it says, have always
" leaned to virtue's side," will, with his increased respon-
sibilities, display more vieour in dealing with Ritualism
and Rationalism.

James Email, the younger, was called, and stated
that on the day in question his mother was drunk
1-2 and abused his father; she then threw something
at him, and he in retaliation took a vase off the
2 mantelpiece, and threw it at her. It struck her on
the head, and she fell insensible. His father bathed
g the wound, but she remained unconscious. The
3 witness said she was dead. The prisoner then went
-2
to a drawer and took out a knife, with which be cut
his throat. The knife had not bun found.
2 Mr. Arnold said the prisoner and his wife ap-
_ peared to be an amiable couple. He remanded pri-
: Boner for a week in order that the chaplain at the
House of Detention might see him, and reason with
4 him against the repetition of so rash and foolish an
act.
