Tbo Uov. D. O. Bates advised last evening:—"Moderate and variable winds have prevailed, with mild and misty weather. The barometer has been unsteady, but little change has been reoordod. Present indications aro for cloudy and hazy weather, with hght rain in many parts. Variable and moderate winds will probably precedo «. northerly change, after which an improvement may bo expected. Tho barometer will probably rise slowly after about sixteen hours." His Worship the Mayor lias reicived two inoro guineas lor tho o'N(il »mU—h-om llr I<\ J. lto'lluston and iMr W.
