THE GRFAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. —We
(Wiltshire Independent) regret to find that the discharge
of workmen is still going on from the company's works at
New Swindor, a large number of men having been dis-
c:tar,ed on Satur/ay week. To meet this great reduction
we hear all new work has been stopended for the present.
We trust that such a stagnation of trade will not continue
hing, but that the affArs of the company may speedily be
such as to enable them to bring the works at New Swindon
again into full operation. The number of mechanics, &c.,
already discharged exe eds four hundred.
STORM AT MESSINA.—WO learn by a letter from Messina
of the Ist, that a most fearful storm had that day burst over

previous took place, attended by all the troops in garrison.
They were overtaken by the storm, and completely
drenched through with rain, which fell litera'ly in torrents.

saved. A merchant, S'g. Pajno d'Oaefrio, was washed
into the sea, and has not been heard of since.

CREMORNE GARDENS.—An at empt is Le:ng made in the
parish of Chelsea, London, to oppose the music license of
Creenorne being granted for a later period than half-past
eleven at night ; hut this attempt is Errenuously resisted
by Mr. Simpeon's 1 iends, on the ground that his establish-
ment is conducted on the most orderly principles, and that
it was an act of injustice to expect Mr. Simpson to lay
out £30,000 or 40,000 to cater f;1. the public amusement
and recreation, and then to call upon him to clo3e at a cer-
tain hour, when he reeps his greatest reward for his
spirited enterprise. A large number of the ratep:iyers and
inhabitants of Chelsea have presented a memorial to the
vestry of the parish in support of Mr. Simpson;
THE VICTORIA BRIDGE AT IVIONTRBAL.—The foil ;wing
is the present state of the works—The northern abutment
is complete to tube level, and the tote em fleeing it with
the first pier is now nearly completed. By the end of the
season, sixteen of the twenty four piers, and both the
abutments, will be finished. The eirele.nked approaches
which lead, en each side of the river, from the bank to the
t bu meat, will be so far advanced towards completion that
they will on'y require a smelt amount of Rork upon first
next season. Ag masonry operations will cease in the
first week of November. If the fume Ito:Joss et this
great work be equal to the present expects ion, the bridge
(the length of whit h is only 150 feet short of two miles;
will be onened for tratLe in the autumn of 1859.—Cana-
