OPENING OF A RAILWAY STATlON.—Yesterday, the
Kingskers-well Station, on the South Devon Railway,
between Newton-Abbott and Torquay, was opened for
traffic. Towards noon gaily-dressed people thronged
to Kingskerswell by every inlet to the village ; and at
noon, when the Newton-Abbott and several other bands
commenced playing, the station-yard and some of the
streets were densely crowded with spectators. About
two o'clock a lunch was provided in a large marquee,
by Mr. Magor of the Commercial Hotel, Newton, where
a large party were assembled. The opening was cele-
brated with unusual spirit, and the whole proceedings
passed off most satisfactorily. Kingskers-well is situate
between Newton and Torquay, and the scenery is mag-
nificent.
THE MANCHESTER POLICE.—A large number of men
in the Manchester police force gave notice of their in-'
tcntion to strike, but afterwards withdrew it. Some
misunderstanding has occurred, however, and has led to
the fear that a great many will, after all, leave duty.;
The authorities say only 32 men are affected by the mis.
take, but it is currently reported in the force itself that
250, out of a total of 420, will cease duty from this day,
unless prompt terms of accommodation are decided
upon.
