THE LATE MADAME SOYER.—The appearance of
a very beautiful engraving of the picture of " The
Jew Lemon-sellers" reminds us of the loss which art
has sustained in the death of Madame Soyer. This
gifted lady, better known, perhaps, as Miss Emma
Jones, has beet! snatched away in the midst of a
career, the opening success of which fully justified the
most flattering anticipations of her numerous friends.
Some of Madame Soyer's pictures exhibited here
were the subjects of very general admiration, and such
of our readers as visited the last exhibition at Paris
(where Madame Soyer was even more popular than in
England) will recal with pleasure her picture, after
Murillo, of " The Two Israelites," which received so
much praise from the French critics. The devotion
of Madame Soyer to the art which she so much adorned
by her talents, is illustrated as much in the number as
in the excellence of her works, which form the basis
of a lasting and honourable fame. Although but 29
years of age_when,she died, she had already painted no
Tess than 403 pictures. Many of them are in the pos-
session of the most distinguished collectors in this

country.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON RAILWAY.— 11
Last evening, about half-past six, a man, named
Richard Crossley, a policeman in the service of the
Croydon Railroad Company, was killed on the line
between► the New-cross Station and Sydenham, under
the following shocking circumstances :—lt appears
that the unfortunate man was on duty in the narrow
cutting between the above stations, and was standing
in the space between the up and down line, for the
purpose of signalising to the up-trains to proceed only
at half speed on account of extra trains being put on
the road to convey the great influx of passengers tfiat
were proceeding to and from Croydon Fair. The
half-past five train from Croydon was coming up, and
he was actively engaged in signalising to the engine-
drivers. At the same moment, the six o'clock train
from London was coming down unperceived by Cross-
ley, wheri,•it is supposed some of the steps of the car-
riages caught him, and threw him with great violence
against the train which was passing, from the effect
of which he wt rebounded back, and the whole train
passed over hisperson. No time was lost in placing
him in one of the carriages, and taking him to the ter-
minus at London-bridge, from thence to Guy's Hos-
pital, when, upon Mr. Hill, the house surgeon, exa-
mining him, he stated that the unfortunate man must
have been killed instantaneously. His head, legs, and,
in fact, every part of his person frightfully mutilated.
He was considered a very steady man by the Company,
and has laft a widow and four children.
BERLIN, SEPT. 24.—There is no confirmation of
the report that was spread a few days ago, that the
Emperor of Russia intended to pay a visit to our
Court next month, but Colonel Pathaud, Aide-de-
Camp to the Grand puke Michael, arrived here yes-
terday, and since then it is said that the Grand Duke.
will soon pass through Berlin.
ST. PETERSDURGH, SEPT. 20.—We continue to
enjoy very fine and mild autumnal weather. Ac-
counts from several parts of the empire, especially the
western gdvernment, say that the harvest is extremely
good. In the western government the crops of buck-
wheat, flax, hemp, and potatoes, are most abundant..
The crop of hay, in consequence of the rains in June
and July, is more scanty than last year.
