abroad, is there any middle groUnd—any slot of
refuge—any point of consolation and of h-pe—to
which the furious outcast might betake hir.;,solf, in
order to cherish more charitable hopes of the srtn
pathy of others—to get a glimpse of more oh cring
prospects for the future years of his children a;:d
him-
self? Let Mr. \%TODEHOUSL tell us how, in that
county, which is the stronghold of the corn-tax inte-
rest; the poor-law is administered, especially in re
spect of able-bodied paupers, and the public will pro-
bably arrive at some new guides to the solution of the
impelling causes of incendiarism in Norfolk, and be
able to devise some practicable plans for their entire
removal, or present alleviation.

Madrid journals of the 11th have bppn r.ceived.
A meeting of the Members of the last Cortes had
been held to appoint a Committee of Direction con-
nected with the forthcoming elections. Letters from
Barcelona state that a ball has been given at Anra-
zanas in honour of their Majesties. A grand review
had taken place, at which the Royal party, attended
by Generals NARVAEZ, MEER, PAVIA, and AzuAR,
the bishop of the diocese, &c.
The Castellano, a Madrid journal, contains a peti-
tion to the Government from the sons of Genend
ESTELLER, who was some time ago assassinated at
Saragossa, praying not only that the four icdividuals
condemned for the murder be put to death, but also
that they (the General's sons) may have the " honour"
of executing them.

The French Government have received dispatches
from Marshal BUGEAUD, dated July 3, givin2 account
of another skirmish, for it cannot be called a battle,
betiveen the French and Moors on the frontiers of
Morocco. It would appear from the Marshal's ac-
count that while encamped on the banks of a river
called Oued-Isly for the purpose of protecting a
tribe who had announced their submission, the Moorish
chief, on ascertaining this fact, informed tl,e ierench
that he would resist their approach to the Freflch
camp and confine them to the mountains. The Moors
established themselves in considerable force within
cannon-shot of the French; BUGEAUD, in order to
avoid a contest, retreated, and the enemy fired on his
rear-guard. Upon this he acted on the offensive, and
totally dispersed the Moorish force, which consisted
entirely of cavalry, and amounted to about 4,000 men,
3,000 of whom were regular troops. ADD' E 11 A DER
was present. The French had only six men woundel,
and the Moors also suffered very little. The dispatch
giving an account of this trumpery affair is g: von in
another part of the paper. A discussion took place in
the Chamber of Peers, on the Marquis DE Iloissr
asking if it were true that an Englishman,
who acted as Consul for England and Sar-
dinia, had obtained an exequatur for the latter,
and had not demanded one for the former?
M. VILLEMAIN declined to answer the quostinn, as it
had no reference to the business before the ChArnber.
The Marquis then tried his hand in another quarter,
-and said—" Since the French Ambassador at the
Court of England was in the Chamber, he could per-
haps give some explanations on the subject. It would
be the means of removing much anxiety from the
country." But here he met with no better success.
The Count DE SAINT AULAIRE felt convinced that
there was not a single Noble Peer present r, ho would
not be astonished to see him so thoroughly f0r,.1,1, his
duty, and what was due to propriety, as to enter into
a conversation on such a subject with the :Marquis
DE Boissr. The Chamber applauded the cutting re-
buke. The following are extracts from the papers :
"The report of General Paixhans, on a credit of 1,662,000 f.
for the construction of three steamers between Calais and
England, was distributed last week in the Chamber of
Deputies. The Debats, in mentioning this fact, says :
' The English have• at present for Calais and Oat end eight
steamers, which altogether have 650 horse-power. They
have given to some of these packets engines of a very supe-
rior description, and have placed them uniie.r the direction of
the Admiralty. The Princess Alice, of 140 horse-power,
crosses the Channel in 130 minutes, with wind and tide
against her. France has on this line but three steamers, to-
gether of 160 horse-power. They are old crazy vessels, often
obliged to demand the assistance of the English steamers
when the sea is high, to take over our dispatches."

The Committee is unanimous in approving of the Bill.
The France says : —" The loyal and energetic re-
monstrances of the Viscount DUDOUCIIAGE, in the
Chamber of Peers, have borne their fruits. We learn
that M. CIIARBONNIER DE LA GUESNEME and M. DE
LESPINOT have been set at liberty on bail."
The Quotidienne says :

" The Archbishop of Paris, and the Bishops now in the
capital, have presented to the Keeper of the Seals a protest
against the proposition in the report of M. Thiers for restor-
ing to the ecclesiastical schools the 12,000 Bourses created by
the ordonnances of 1828. The. Prelates at the same time
protest against the perfidy of attributing to them motives
which they do not entertain, and declare that th,,v arc ac-
tuated by no other than the honour of the C•mr,i/, which
will not allow them to accept the wages of servitii !e."
A letter from Rome, in the Gazette des Tribunaux,
says :

" On the 4th, whilst thousands of persons were vi,iting the
Berberini Galleries, examining the rich collect statues
and objects of curiosity left behind by Thorwall.inn. the
sculptor, two huissiers entered, and, after I:aving ,1 to
the public to go out, placed seals on all the do,rs. They
acted thus at the demands of the Kings of l'avari:l and Wur-
temberg, who declared that Thorwaldsen hail given them
verbal promise to allow casts to be taken of worLe of sculp-
ture which belonged to him. This the executors if the de
ceased artist state they have no knowledge of, and conse-
quently refused to permit, particularly as such an operation is
likely to injure the marble, and still more the c.. (it his
works, of which the Berberini Gallery contains a complete
collection. The civil tribunal of Rome has antli,;ri-,eel the
opposition
of the seals on the declaration of the two Kings;
but the executors have had a protest served on them at the
respective residences which they have chosen at _Rome, and
have appealed against their proceedings."

STATUE OF THE LATE DUKE OF

SUSSEX.

Mr. Hodges Baily, R.A:, has just finished his admi-
rable model of the statue of his Royal Highness .the late
Duke of Sussex. When completed in m ti.b!e this
statue, we understand, is to be placed in the
large room at Freemasons'-hall. The figure of
the Duke is of colossal size, and he ii repre-
sented standing .upright in the act of addres,ing an
assembly. The robes in which he is apparel d are
those of a Knight of the Garter, and he we r. resides
the insignia of the Guelphic order. His attitt,de is easy
and natural, and by no means wanting in dignity, and
the likeness will be at once recognised by all who have
seen the original. The work is one of the r.•o.t ably
executed that this celebrated artist has yet pro_'o.•cel.
