HAMPTON COURT liKAACH UP THE LONDON AND
4oUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— iS pleasure extension line
is now completed; and ready tor opening. Jt is a mile_and a
half long, and branches off from the main line 12 miles up,
and a little above Kingston, and consists newly of one con-
tinuous embankment of 18 feet in height, graduating in some
parts as it goes along. It is to be opened on the Ist of
Vebruary, and is expected to be a lucrative addition to the
main line, since it appears from the Government returns that
178,000 persons annually visit Hampton-court. There are to
be five trains a day from the Waterloo-station, and an equal
number back, including one Parliamentary or penny-a-mile
train.

TESTIMONIAL TO Mn. B. liAwEs, M.P.—Thurs-
day evening a niener vs.s given at the Herne Tavern,
Kennington, to Mr. B. Ilaw,s, M.P. fur Kinsale, by his
triends ,nd sduairers in the b ,rough of Lamoech. Mr.
L. Redhe ad, cliadanan of Mr. Hawes's cosemittees in
the boron, h of L Inabe,h, fidee the chair, on whose right
s-.t the guest of the evening. Among the comp iny vre
ebserved Mr. B. Hawes, sen., Captain Wood, Messrs.
Rossater. Rims!, Gii-ell, J. F. Young, and John Sim,
Me, Norton Chief Justice of Newfou,dland ; Mr. W.
11. Miler, Hummer.) Sscretary, &c. About 170 vleetors
partook of an cxc !lent dinner, previtled by Mr. 13riant.
Ater the usual le) al toasts, the r heirman, in an appro-
priate speech, re quested Mr. flaw, s's acceptance of a
splendid silver salver, silver gilt, as a testimonial of the
tdtis esteem in which he was fold by his friends in the
borough of Lambeth. The salver was 26 inches in diame-
ter, and of the weight of about 200 oz. It bore a compii-
mentary inscription. Mr. Hawes, in-re turning thanks,
said that it was 16 years since he first addressed the
electors of Lambeth, and sought to be rt turned in the
first Reformed Parliament. He had been four times
elected by them; and, during that period, he had never
expressed extreme opinice,s, for he had no confidence
in them. He tried to obtain the support of the electors
of Lambeth for the fifth time, although without success.
But he had no hesitation in saying that it was in con-
sequence of the countenance and support of the friends
who had subscribed to this testimonial that he bad now
the honour to be Member for Kinsale. The grounds
upon which he had lost his re election for Lambeth
were, that he had been a friend to a scheme of education
the most liberal and comprehensive ever presented to
this country ' - that he had voted for the grant to
Maynooth; that he refused to pledge himself against
any endowment of the Irish Church; and that he had
accepted an appointment under Government. If the elec-
tors of the metropolitan boroughs were to make it a con-
dition that their representatives were not to take office
under Government, they would have men fit to represent
them, and nothing else. On all these grounds the Hon.
Gentleman said be would boldly impeach the verdict of _
the constituency of Lambeth. His political carter had
not been marked by any inconsistency in any vote or
speech of his. He was still at their service and in their
service; and he hoped the electors would be able to sag
that they had gained three Members instead of two.
Still he did not mean to woo an unwilling bride, or to
stand in the situation of a suitor. It would be for the
borough of Lambeth to take its own course, and for him
freely and independently to take his. He would coil
say that he was grateful for the honour they had done
him, and that his services were at their command.
Whoever would calmly review the last two years and
half of the colonial aeministration of Earl Grey must ad.-
mit that never in any previous period had liberal uud
repres, ntative institutions in the colonies been more
widely and extensively upheld by the Colonial-office. Ile
felt, therefore, that he bad nothing to be ashamed of ie
having joined the present Government.—Several loco
toasts followed, and some excellent singing enlivened the
proceedings of the evening. .

[ADVERTISEMENT ]—Another Important Cure by
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, of a Wound in the leg.
—Mrs. Malcoarb, wife of the light-house keeper at the
entrance of the river Teca, near Itedcar, had been a of'

was so bad, that it made her quite incapable of wallsib6

ALDERNEY.—The damage sustained by the Go°
verument works in the late storm .is more serious then
was at first supposed. The damage is now estimated 06
upwards of 4,000 t. Such was the violence of the storm'
that the immense beams employed in the works 'O7OO
broken short off or splintered as though they had been
mere sticks. The interruption which this disaster bee
caused in the Government operations has, we are i 0"
