THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAT.—A new sta-
tion, in connection with the Great Western Railway, was
opened at Acton on Saturday. The new station is about
fuur miles distant from Paddington, and within 10 minutes
walk from St. Mary's Church.

THE BEERSHOP ACT.—A deputation from the
Church of England and Ireland Temperance Reformation
Society had au interview with Mr. Hardy at the Home
Office on Saturday to present a memorial, asking for a
rapeal of the Beershop Act of 1830. Mr. Hardy said he
thought some further check upon the sale of intoxicating
liquors was necessary, but he could hold out no hope of
immediate legislation on the subject, for such a ra.asure
was not one that could be taken up by an expiring Parlia-
ment.

Mr. A. S. Finlay, M.P. fur Argyllshire, has issued
an address announoing his intention of resigning his seat.
The Scotsman states that the Marquis of Lorne will be the
Liberal candidate.

THE PORT OF LYNN.—It appears from a return of
the local Pilot Commissioners that in 1867 moorage duos
were paid at the port of Lynn for 100,436 tons of coal and
86,671 tons of goods. In 1866 the corresponding totals worn
108,970 tons of coal and 90,515 tons of goods. The trade
of this port would thus appear to have somewhat de-
clined in 1867. It is expacted that dock works now iu
progress will be brought to a close by the autumn, when
they will probably be inaugurated by the Prince of Wales,
his Royalllighness having expressed his intention to at-
tend the opening ceremonial if possible.

SIR D. Goocu, M.P., ON TILE CONSERVATIVES.—
Sir Daniel Gooch, M.P., met his constituents at a
dinner at Swindon, last week. In returning thanks
for his health having been drunk, he said he did not
like to attach the name of Liberals to any body of
men
.; the Conservative party were Liberal, and he
always believed himself as Liberal as any man. He
never wished, and no one of them would wish, to
see this country revolutionized by wild measures ;
nor did he wish to see this country stand still, as an
old Tory might call it; he doubted even if an
old Tory would wish to stand still now. No one
would think of saying that Conservative principles
meant that this country should stand still, nor
that measures should not be passed to meet the
demands and increasing wants of an intelligent
people. These measures had been carried during the
last session, and he was one of those who had no fear
of that step. Few men had had more opportunities
than himself of mixing with and acquiring a know-
ledge of the working classes of this country. He had
met them socially, and had had opportunities of
seeing them in their working hours and out of them,
and, indeed, had spent his life amongst them, and he
said emphatically he had no fear of those working
classes. And if they were left to judge for them-
selves, and let their own minds be their guide, he was
quite sure the measures of which he had spoken were
quite safe in their hands. There was not (he added)
a more conservative or constitutional body of, people
than the working classes of Swindon.
THE LATE VIOLENT GALE. —The Manchester
Guardian of to-day says :—The gale on Saturday
was severely felt in Manchester and Salford. Many
houses were partially unroofed, chimneys were blown
down, and signboards fell, some breaking street
lamps, and others causing injury to passengers. No
serious casualty, however, has been reported. Rumours
were current of one or two fatal accidents, but we have
been unable to trace them to any reliable source.
There were several narrow escapes. One of the pin-
nacles of Cavendish-street Independent Chapel was
displaced, and a mass of stone weighing several
hundredweight, fell into the street, almost striking
a youth who was passing. The spire of Salford
Presbyterian Church was much shaken. The chim-
ney of an unoccupied house in Whitecross-street,
Salford, fell, and a man was struck by some bricks
upon the head, and ..injured severely. He was taken
to the dispensary. The house called Cherry Mount,
Higher Broughton, occupied by Mr. Jackson, was so
much damaged that the family were compelled to
leave it. No person, however, was hurt. Consider-
able damage was done by the falling of two chimneys
at the Stag Brewery, Rushohne. 11 many parts of
the town walls and garden palings were blown down.
The river was very high, and the meadows near Peel
Park were flooded, but the water fell rapidly
towards evening." The Yorkshire Post says :--
"On Friday and Saturday the wind blew a hurricane,
throwing down houses, factory and other chimneys,
and tearing off portions of roofs. The rain also fell
in torrents. Yorkshire has suffered very severely.
In the Leeds district the worst accident was the
loss of a child, who was blown off a bridge
at Armley and drowned. At Bradford five
new houses were undermined by the flood,
and fell ; and the chimney of the Providence
Mill was blown down, killing a man on the spot, and
injuring two other persons. At Hull a singular acci-
dent happened in the blowing down of a huge gas-
ometer, and the ignition of the gas. This, however,
was not attended by any personal injuries. In the
valleys of the Nidd and tire Dearne the floods were
particularly heavy, and the destruction of property
very great. At Scarborough a fatal accident ocourred,
