has commenced the erection in that city of dwellings appearance, is severely commented on.
for the working classes.
The building (says the Citizen) consist, of four stories,
and contains in all thirty-one dwellings. The houses on each
floor era ranged along a wide central passage, which com-
municates with the common staircase, and is lighted by a
window at each end. The houses are arranged with the
view to giving to their one main spartment the utmost
value, by obviating as much as possible the necessity for
performing any cleansing operations within it, and form-
log the bed closets opening out of the tame, so that there
is no erasion for the occupants creating disorder by strew-
ing their clothes about the room ; for this purpose these
closets, of which there are two in each house, as wide
apart as pomible, are made large enough to afford space
for undressing and dressing in ; each is closed with a door ;
but at the same time, in order that they may be ventilated,
the side which is next the main apartment stands only
about 7 feet high, so that the air of the house circulates
freely through them. Each dwelling has also a scullery
opening out of the mein apartment, gnu containing a dresser,
sink, coal-box, and press; and 'likewise a small well-aired
larder in the outside wall ; a kitchen grate, with oven and
boiler; an ash-bnr, with cinder sieve in the hearth, which
is of cast-iron, and includes a fender, the latter being cast
wish it. Water is to be laid on in the scullery, and a jet of
gas for central or common passages and staircases. The
ventilation of the houses is provided for by a louvred open-
ing in the top of each window, and of the central passer by
a few feet of the floor at either end being omitted, thus per-
mitting a free upward circulation to the roof, where there
will be large loured outlets. There is a wash-house out-
side, ~.rs the around story, with all necessary appurtenances,
including a rotary drying machine, which will be common
to all the tenants in due succession.
The able-bodied unemployed who have applied for
relief in Glasgow, are in the city parish 303, in the
barony 300, in the other parishes the numbers are
unknown. In Glasgow, and also in Edinburgh, the
immigration of Irish paupers still continues, and in
many cases it is alleged that their passage is paid by
Irish subscription.

in a railway tunnel inconstraction near Hu.lilersfield, which
had been bored at each end, thinking that the excavators
would meet in the centre, it has been discovered that through

MADRID, Nov. I.—The floating topic of the moment here
is artistical. A competition between the leading sculptors
for the alto-relievo destined to adorn the front of the new
Palace of Congress has just been decided by the academy of
San Fernando in favour of Poorano, reputed head of the
Spanish school in this branch of art, and resident in Rome.
The proposed remuneration of the successful artist, amount-
ing to 20,000 dollars, will convey an idea of the importance
of the work, and the emulous seal exhibited by the candi-
dates. lam induced, however, to mention the subject, from
phenomena developed in the course of this competition sin-
gularly illustrative of the social state of Madrid, and parti-
cularly from the indecent use which has been made of court
patronage to influence the decision of the academy. Six
months were allowed tor the completion of the model!, a
day named for their exhibition, and another for the
academy to vote. As the time drew near the
friends of Ponsano learned with some disappointment
that, althoneh hi. model had been delivered at the Spanish
emb.sey in Rome wilain the appointed term, the revolu-
tionary state of that part of Italy had delayed the embarka-
tion at Leghorn. Madrazo, the director of the academy,
having represented this circumstance to the government,

to issue a royal order deferring the period of exhibition and
