MILITARY OUTRAGE AT MADRID.

A most discreditable incident is reported from Madrid. The Government either fe&v or pretend to fear a revolution, and Marshal Narvaez is determined to warn the people of the consequences which will follow an etneute. A. number of students, it appears, were indignant at the dismissal of a professor for sriticising the Queen's generosity in the matter of the Crown lands, and resolved to treat his successor to a serenade. They issembled in front of his house, and the police failing to disperse them the military were called out. Without the smallest provocation they fired alike into students and spectators, killing and wounding nearly fifty persons, among them alcades, officers, and 1 people entirely innocent of even i wish for a revolt. So entirely without sxeuse was the outrage that Spaniards try to explain it by suggesting" that Marshal Narvaez, who believes that he can sit upon bayonets without being wounded, hoped to provoke the populace into a premature explosion.

But as she was a weak and prostrate nation, he advised that they should act with discretion till the great and gosd God would give them an opportunity to strike to the earth the tyrant of their country. The Duchess of Buccleuch has, mefc with an accident of a somewhat serious nature. Her grace was visiting the chapel within the grounds at Dalkeith Palace for the purpose of seeing the Easter decorations, when, en turning round, one of her feet slipped, causing her to fall on the corner of a pew with such force as to fracture one of her ribs. Her grace, however, is rapidly recovering.
