We present an exact calculation for the scattering of light from a single sphere made of a Faraday-active material, into first order of the external magnetic field. When the size of the sphere is small compared to the wavelength the known T-matrix for a magneto-active Rayleigh scatterer is found. We address the issue whether or not there is a so called \em Photonic Hall Effect - \em a magneto-transverse anisotropy in light scattering - for one Mie scatterer. In the limit of geometrical optics, we compare our results to the Faraday effect in a Fabry-Perot etalon.
