We have had a treat this week in the perusal of Mr.
Harvey's speech to his constituents
at the Southwark din-
ner on Monday last. Mr. Harvey stands a giant without
a rival either in intellect or eloquence, amongst the pigmies
who surround him in the House of Commons ; and his
address of Monday was worthy of his fame. The first
part of it was devoted to vindicating his own independence
of thought and action as a representative of the people,
although he had lately accepted an appointment at the
hands of the Ministry, and this he did most thoroughly and
completely. He then proceeded to take a review of the
late melancholy Session of Parliament. He performed this
part of his task impartially, temperately, and mildly. He
did not spare the Ministers for their lukewarmness and
suspicious conduct during the Session, but at the same
time he did not allow the Liberal Members to go free from
blame, for failing to stimulate the Ministry, to " keep them
up to the mark." But we were most pleased with the con.
elusion of Mr. Harvey's speech. He therein intimates a
hope that things will go on more to the satisfaction of the
country in the next Session. May he prove a true pro-.
phet! Unpopular as the Ministers are at the present mo-
ment, they might yet, we think, retrieve their errors, and
gain the lost favour of the country. If they were once
more to assume a bold front, to renounce all truckling to
their Tory adversaries, and to bring out their measures,
not with any reference to the nzinimnrn of Reform which
the Aristocracy would swallow, but with an eye only to the
wants of the country and the altered and improved spirit
of the age, the people would once more rally round them,
and bear them through every difficulty. Again, therefore,
we say, may Air. Harvey, in the hope which he holds out,
prove a true prophet !—Liverpool Chronicle.

A splendid female specimen of that rare bird, the
Peregrine Falcon (Falco Pcregrinus) was lately shot by Mr.
Walter Roper, of this city, whilst it was the act of stooping
at some pigeons, and fell on Duke's Palace-bridge ; an
almost unprecedented occurrence for a bird of Vqired habits
like the Peregrine, and so rare in Norfolk, to have beta killed
in the centre of a large city.—Norfolh Chronicle.
SOUTH EASTERN AND DOVER RAILWAT.--•
COMPENSATION CAM—A Court of Compensation was held
on Tuesday last at the Town Hall, Tunbridge, befor the Un-
der Sheriff for Kent, and a respectable Jury, to assess -the
amount to be paid by the South-Eastern Railway Company
to James Eldrige West, Esq., for the land taken for the rail-
way from the Postern Estate, near the town of Tunbridge.
Mr. Sergeant Merewetlier and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the
claimant, and Mr. M. D. Hill for the Company. The line of
the railway passes within about a quarter of a mile of the man-
sion, and through a paddock attached to the house grounds.
The claim sent in by Mr. West was 2,2001., and he had re-
quired of the Company that two communications over or under
the railway should be made for him, to connect the lands cut
off by the line. The Jury, after having viewed the premises,
were addressed in a most eloquent speech by the Learned Ser-
geant, and Mr. Layton Cooke was examined as a witness on
the part of the claimant, when an arrangement was effected,
Mr. West agreeing to accept the offer of the Company
of 1.2.50/. for his land severance, and consequent damages, in-
cluding the timber taken, and to give up all claims on the
Company for communications. A verdict was taken for that
sum accordingly.

THE LONG Bow AND THE RIPLE.—A wager
was decided a fese days ago, at Bishop's Aukland, between one
of the archers of that place and a good rifle shot ; the archer
butting on the bow at 102 yards distance, against the rifle at
204 yards ditto, the best out of ten shots, at the same tar-
get, which was won by the archer.—Wiltshire Independent.
We find that we last week understated the severity
of the Mexican law against duelling. The party who sur-
vives is not only obliged to support the wife and children of
him who falls by his hand, but is also liable for all his debts.
Were there such a law in this country, it might be worth a
clever tradesman's while to contrive to involve an insolvent
debtor in a deadly quarrel with one who has the wherewithal.
On Friday a novel scene was presented at St. Pan-
el as Church. At the usual hour of tea o'clock, several par-
ties arrived to be united in matrimony, attended by their
friends. One respectablc.looking party suddenly halted in the
porch, and when the beadle directed their way to the altar, a
young man answered, " No ; I have changed my mind." This
individual turned out to be the intended bridegroom. En-
treaties and expostulations were of no avail ; he persisted in
committing a breach of promise of marriage, and walked has-
tily away, followed by his intended, who, with mingled feel-
ings of disappointment, shame, scorn, and contempt, the last
apparently prevailing, threw the golden symbol of matrimony
at him, and then returned to her friends. The cause of this
extraordinary conduct did not transpire.
CAUTION TO ENGINEERS—TYRANNY 07 TILE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.—About two years since Mr. Hind,
well known in London as an engineer and builder of several
gas-works, and who was an assistant of the late celebrated Mr.
Winsor, was induced by the Russian Government to go over
to St. Petersburg to erect and superintend the imperial gas-
works, then about to be established, at a salary of 8001. per
annum. One year's salary was paid him in advance, by war
of outfit, and he soon afterwards, sent for his wife and
family, who joined him. In this country there are certain
perquisites belonging to the engineers of such establishments,
amongst which is the superabundant quantity of rough lead
cut off from the pipes where they are joined. These cuttings
in large works amount to a considerable quantity, and Mr.
Hind, considering that he would be entitled to the same per-
quisites in Russia as in England, sold the cuttings; for
which it is understood by his friends that he has been banished
to Siberia. The circumstance has attracted considerable at-
tention with scientific mechanics in London, as great induce-
ments are now held out by the Russian Government for intel-
ligent individuals to settle in that country. We understand
that the Directors of the Equitable Gas Company, whose
works Mr. Hind erected at Vsuxhall, have, with a laudable
spirit reflecting great credit upon them, presented a memorial
to the Russian Ambassador at our Court, to request that he
will cause an inquiry to be made on the subject of the painful
banishment of this individual to Siberia. Mr. Hind was well
known and highly respected in the profession ; and the Inde-
pendent Gas-works at Haggerstone, so celebrated for cotn-
mo tousness, were amongst those erected by him. He has
also
established many of the first Companies in the metropolis
and several provincial towns and cities of England. Fresh
accounts are looked for anxiously by his friends, but it is
feared that the report of his banishment to the desolate climes
of Siberia is but too true.

DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT.—THE PAS-
SENGERS TEROWN INTO TUE SEA.—Tuesday, about one o'clock,
afternoon, whilst the Coburg Coach, on its way from Perth
to Edinburgh, was receiving the passengers and luggage from
the steamer at Newhalls Pier, South Queensferry, the leader
suddenly wheeled round, and notwithstanding the guard and
coachman, who were then busy in stowing the luggage, were
almost instantly at their heads, assisted by Mr. Mitchell,
of the Newhalls inn, coach and horses were suddenly preci-
pitated over the quay. Some of the outside escaped by
throwing themselves on the pier ; but those in the inside were
less fortunate. The inside passengers were Mr. Ellis, Royal-
terrace, Edinburgh; Mrs. Captain M'Duff; Miss M'Duff, a
girl about 13, and an elderly female, servant to Mrs. M'Duff.
The coach having fallen into the sea on its side, Mrs. M'Duff
and Mr. Ellis managed to get their heads thrust out of the win-
dow above the water until extricated from their perilous situa-
tion by It. Beveridge, engineer of the ferry steamer. The other
two, Miss M'Duff and the servant, were taken out lifeless. The
only outside passenger who kept his place on the coach until
it was precipitated into the water was pitched into the sea a
considerable distance, but fortunately saved himself by swim-
ming ashore. The pole having broken, the leading horses
were saved, but the two wheel horses were drowned. Every
effort was made by Messrs. Jones and Greig, surgeons, South
Queensferry, to resuscitate Miss M'Duff and the servant, but
without the slightest effect. Dr. Gibson, of Leith Walk, who
was driving in the neighbourhood, was likewise promptly on
the spot; and Sir G. Ballingall, having been sent for by ex-
press, from Edinburgh, was there also within two hours after
the fatal occurrence; but, beyond rendering assistance to Mrs.
Captain M'Duff, their efforts were without effect. Captaits
M'Duff and other members of his family were passengers by
the same coach, but had not taken their seats when the acci-
dent occurred. The melancholy result is entirely attributable
to the dangerous practice recently introduced of loading the
coach on the quay instead of at the inn, as formerly, and at
the same time leaving the horses' heads unattended.—
Scotsman.

On Monday the teachers of the Sunday School
connected with the Scotch Church, Gateshead, proceeded on
a pleasure trip to Marsden Rock, in the Ocean steam-boat, and
returned to the Quay-side, Newcastle, about !self-past six
o'clock in the evening. At this time the tide was running up
with great force, and when the vessel was approaching the
landing-place, with her stern up the stream, she came into
violent collision with the Marengo, a New York ship, lying
near Tyne-bridge. The stern of the steamer was carried
away by the shock, and three young women, Charlotte Colvin
and, Jane and Isabella English, all of this borough, who were
sitting at the stern-seat, were precipitated into the river. Miss
Robson, who also was on the seat, was thrown forwards towards
the steersman, and escaped the fate of her companion. A
boat was hoisted over the side of the vessel, and manned for
the rescue of the girls, who were struggling in the water,
and while this effort was making for their preservation, an
American sailor swung himself down from the New Yorker,
and assisted Miss Colvin, who was grasping the cable, to keep
herself in her position, by means of one of his feet. Jane
English had seized a rope with one hand, and was holding
washe
sister with the other, when some person, whose intentiona
better than his serviee, threw into the water on
sister (Isa- •
chain, which struck the clutched hands of the siesteerns, and
compelled them to quit their hold. The younger

belle), a girl of 15 summers, was borne
