whilst ire Parliament, courted neither the Minister
nor popularity. Mr. Harvey had always, courted the
latter, ai ad habitually complained that his. success in
that qua' ter had gained him no favour in the other.
He comp lined for years that he was only a loser by
his disinterested affection to the public, send the
Minister ;gave him a low and unpopular situa.lon of
8001. a year, to get rid of his services and his
importunities together. If he had been of
use to the Government and to the petiole
both had. a right to complain of him, as much as his
other tw‘a clients at Colchester, whom he had serves l
in the sane way and closed his accounts with—by w
strange coincidence—for the same sum, 8001. The
Whigs were again in office. Mr. Harvey's unrivalled
eloquence and undoubted popularity might again bo
useful to Them ; and if the Radicals of Marylebone
assisted hfirs he might then, in the course of a few
months, retire from public life, in the enjoyment of
that reward to which his desires ever pointed, and Ms
past votes deserved—a high paid office where be
would be able to. be attended by servants in livery,
without degrading his honest spirit to the base
expe-
dient of violating the law which gave him office, af
employing policemen to wait at his table. The :yells
and cries which assailed him (the speaker) would not
prevent him from saying
disgraceful that it was for
professing Chartists to send a place-hunter to Parlia—
ment. Before he gave way to the clamour he would
beg to inform the meeting of something which
appeared to be unknown to them. Some one had
said that Lord D. Stuart, in supporting Poland,
supported only the aristocracy. That was a
deplorable error, which it was the policy of
Nicholas and Bentinck, Disraeli and Peter
Borthwick, and the un-English "friends of the
people" who now disturbed that meeting, to
propagate, in favour of that tyranny which they
loved in common, for the tyranny of despot and may
were, if not identicaLaLleast kindred -andernpa-
thetic. The cause of Poland was more the cause of
England than was generally understood in England..
The rest of the civilized world knew it well, and at
that moment Lord D. Stuart was looked upon by all
the freemen of Continental Europe, as the represen—
tative of European civilization against Russian bar—
barism. In France and Germany he was regarded as
the individual who in the name of freemen was the:
chosen and the beloved champion of the Poles against
the infamous autocrat. The rejection of Lord D.Stuart
by Marylebone would be taken by the desponding
liberals of France, Germany, Hungary, Italy and
Russia, as a proof that Englishmen are indifferent to
the principles of high liberalism, and the election of
a place-hunter in his stead would confirm the noble
minded patriots of Eastern Europe in the opinion,
that the English are so mercantile in their nature, that
they prefer the man who makes merchandise even of
their votes.

The confusion which was all the evening indiscriba-
ble, was so great towards the end, that it was diffi-
cult to say in what way the votes were taken, but it
appeared to be admitted at last that the amendment in
favour of Lord D. C. Stuart was carried.

FATAL A)CCIDENT ON THE
EASTERN' COUNTIES RAILWAY.

BROXBOVITNE, SATURDAY.-Thi; morning, St nine
o'clock, an inquiry flirsii entered into at the Black Bull,
in this place, beforilfgr. Sworder, Coroner for the
county, and a nu ;4#...us jury, touching the death of
Thomas Parker, aged•twenty-eight, the driver of the
engine, numbered 155; belonging to the Eastern Counties
Railway Company. •
During the proceedings the following testimony was
furnished :

Thomas Horrold, a fireman in the employ of the com-
pany, stated that yesterday (Friday) he was with de-
ceased upon the engine, about forty-five minutes past
eleven o'clock, at which time they were passing Matinee
bridge, near the junction of the Hertford with the Cam-
bridge line of railway. They were going to Wisbeach
with a luggage train. At the moment of passing the
bridge, which is technically denominated " a truss-
bridge," deceased and witness were talking together
about something being the matter with the feed pipe of
the engine. Deceased was reaching over the side of the
locomotive, in order to obtain a better view of the feed-
pipe, when the centre truss of the bridge caught him
and knocked him off the engine on to the line. In con-
sequence of the width of the wood work of the bridge,
which forms its main support, and which rises between
the up and down line of the rails, the deceased had not
room to turn out of the way of the engine, the wheels of
which passed over him, crushing him in a most frightful
manner. Medical assistance was procured without
delay, but deceased was quite dead.
Mr. Gossee, surgeon, of this place, having stated the
nature of the injuries deceased had received, and that
they had caused death,
Samuel Barrow, an officer in the employ of the come
pany, said that he saw the deceased lying between the
metals. There was not sufficient space for him to turn
out of the engine, because of the truss of the bridge
taking up so much room.
By a Juror—Has there not been some other accident
at this bridge? Witness—Yes, within the last twelve
months. At that time one of the servants of the com-
pany had his legs cut off by the wheels of an engine.
Foreman—ls that man now alive? Witness—l be-
lieve he is. I saw him in the hospital.
CORONER--DO you think the bridge is dangerous?
Witness—l am sure it is; it ought to be altered.
Robert Reese, driver, in the employ of the company.
expressed a similar opinion as to the dangerous con
struction of the bridge. He, and others, had complained
of it, and now he (witness) and some of the other men,
had determined to memoralise the Board, so that it might
be removed. Deceased was a steady young man; he bad
left a wife and two children.

The CORONER having summed up, the jury, after a
brief consultation, agreed to the following verdict:—
" We find that Thomas Parker was accidentally killed
by Manser's-bridge, on the Eastern Counties line of rail•
way; but before we separate we wish to give our opi-
nion, derived from the evidence in this case, that such
bridge is dangerous, and that it ought to be removed,
and we desire the coroner to send this our verdict to the
directors of the said line."

The CORONER agreed to do so, adding, that if no no-
tice was taken of it he should feel it to be his duty to
bring the matter before the Commissioners of Railways.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Mr. Mitchell,fthe lessee of
this theatre, takes his benefit at the St. James's Theatre,
on Wednesday night next ; and if integrity and ability
—those rare qualities in a theatrical manager—he prized
by the public, his benefit will be a benefit indeed.
Apart, however, from those considerations, the per-
formances will present the singular feature of the tragic
muse—Rachel—donning the buskin " for the nonce,"
and assuming the sock ; in other words, in a comic
part—that of Celimene, in Moliere's famous comedy,
"Le Misanthrope." She will also appear as Virginie,
in the celebrated play of that name. The entertain-
ments on this occasion will, therefore, be unique—no
such event having ever passed before in public ; and,
consequently, those who go there will have a treat of an
extraordinary nature. In every respect, for the high
character he bears, as well for the general excellence of
the performances he produces at this theatre, Mr. Mit-
chell is entitled to the patronage of the public.
