THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

There was no incident worthy of special n nice on
Saturday, unless it were another visit from the Duke of
Devonshire, who was accompanied by Sir Joseph Paxton
in a promenade through the foreign departments. The
activity of the parties employed in the work of removal is
now especially conspicuous in the Sardinian and Italian
sections generally ; but as these comprise many articles of
statuary, requiring the most elaborate kind of packing, the
progress is much slower in results than in departments
where the goods are of a less delicate description, or re-
quire leas ingenuity and care in the preparations for re-
moval. The " Happy Child" appeared a day or two
ago in a most unhappy state of confinement. It
would have grieved thu hearts of his countless ad-
mirers to see him, like a naughty boy, cooped up in the
narrowest possible space instead of breathing the air which
so lately resounded with his praises; though it must be
added, for the comfort of his friends, that his limbs were so
swathed and guarded as to remove all cause of anxiety with
regard to bis safe conveyance.
